Romero fought Phil Davis at Bellator 266 last Saturday. The fight was scheduled for three rounds. However, the former UFC star said he expected it to be a five-round bout.
After losing the fight via a split decision, Romero claimed he was eyeing a late victory opposite Davis in a fourth or fifth round.
Reacting to Romero’s claim in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonnen said:
Questioning Romero’s “excuse,” Sonnen wondered how the former UFC middleweight’s family, manager and even Bellator officials hadn’t informed him that his fight was scheduled for three rounds.

Scott Coker says he wouldn’t mind seeing Yoel Romero at middleweight
Yoel Romero made his professional MMA debut at light heavyweight. After a few fights, ‘The Soldier of God’ moved one weight class down to middleweight, where he was incredibly successful early on.
According to Scott Coker, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for Yoel Romero to move back to middleweight. The Bellator CEO said he “would love” to see Romero compete for the middleweight title after Gegard Mousasi and Austin Vanderford settle their score.
