Is anyone getting bored of this guy? It's just disrespectful and bitter. He lost to Anderson Silva, he lost even though he was cheating. He lost even though Anderson has an injured rib. I wish he'd get over it and focus on earning a rematch rather than trying to beat them where it doesn't count. Plus I'm pretty sure most of war with Brazil stuff is essentially racist. He's got a tough fight against Brian Stann and he should be focusing on that. What he's doing now isn't gamesmanship or hyping or panto it's just disrespectful and I hope Stann KO's him back down out of the top 5.
I understand what you are saying and actually agree with you like 99%, however I still find him entertaining and for a little while longer will continue to listen.
Regarding the fight with Stann, I like Stann, I like his story and think he's a really good fighter, but this is a bad match up for him and I don't expect him to get the W.
The only way that Chael would burn down Black House is if he sold it to them and he was the sole beneficiary in the insurance policy.
once=epic
twice=hilarious
thrice= funny
fourth= kinda funny
fifth=getting bored
sixth=bored
seventh=insult
eight=disrespectful
ninth=retarded
tenth=poor from lowkick users
He wasnt cheating,. Commission reduced to it to 6 months for not doing the papers right. (Duh). Silva had an injured rib, and Sonnen was sick the week leading up to the fight.(But Silva fans dont look at that at all do they). Sonnen is entertaining to all the people not currently salivating all over Silva's nuts.
Side note: its amazing how Whitey is agreeing with you guys but since he finds Chael entertaining the many Silva nuthuggers weak him. Silva fanboys are really sad haha
He wasnt cheating? Then what about the second trial that was about him lying during his first trial?
Then he was just suspected of lying? You answered your question in the question?
.....wtf
Only Blaack House fighter I see Chael beating is Lil Nog cause he stopped using his Bjj other than that Machida/Anderson/Feijao would KO or sub him Nog would Sub him Dos Santos would murder him and Jacare would sub him
lol ds would murder him.. nice :D
Feijao? Yeah right, sonnen UD all the way. And if we are talking about 3 rounds here, I would say none KO or subs him. Only guy on that list of yours is Machida that can even Decision him possibly. Everyone else would be likely decision for Sonnen. JDS would beat him though....but JDS would beat Silva too so no shame in that.
dude wtf is dana letting cheal talk for..
Chaels a good guy, but a massive troll. This is all an act. Any publicity is good publicity and money in his pocket. Remember, he lost out on a TON of money by being on suspensiona and not being able to star on TUF or fight at all for that matter. PLUS his realtor license got revoked so there goes another money making avenue.
wtf is your mom letting you talk for...
Yeah I think it's a tough fight to call. Sonnen's wrestling will probably be better but Stann's a Jackson guy so expect him to come in with hugely improved wrestling skills. Stann looks like he has way more power in his hands and better timing. I think Anderson's injuries made Chael look disproportionately composed. I've got Stann coming in,stuffing Chael's takedowns pressing him against the fence and KOing him round 2 or 3
Nobody has ever successfully stuffed Chael's takedowns. Nobody has ever KO'd Chael. Nobody, not even Greg Jackson, can get somebody not named GSP to Olympic level wrestling in a few short years. Chael will have a distinctive advantage in the wrestling department, and the striking will be a toss-up because Chael is very good there too. Stann does have a lot of power, but I don't see him KOing Chael. I will be rooting for Stann, but Chael will most likely get the decision win. If you want a preview for what will happen, go back and watch the last fight Stann had with a great wrestler: Phil Davis.
His statements are good joke like him as a person :)
What is a joke is your name, Chael Sonnen is a fighter and a real good one, he is not scare to fight anyone that takes courage
When you step into a cage/ring and fight another man
then you can comment on Chael Sonnen
Chael's in a safe position: he can talk all the shit he wants because he's in a professional sport. If one of those fighters he talks shit about decides to go and actually fight him in the street, they would get fired and definitely charged.
I guarantee you Chael doesn't walk around Brazil's streets spouting that shit he does. He does it in front of cameras where he is safe.
I think he sucks. The funny thing is why did the writer say he is the middle weight champion?
Because Chael Sonnen IS the UFC Middleweight Champion :)
Is everyone who lost to Anderson Silva also the middeweight champ? If so we're gonna need a bigger belt...
Yep, the "champ" did buy his UFC replica belt on E-Bay :)
Chael Sonnen is the peoples Champion!
Anton knows his stuff!
To paraphrase Howard Cowsell: If you don't believe Chael Sonnen IS the UFC middleweight champion then step in the ring with him
If you think about it, Chael is actually doing the Brazilian fighters a huge favor. They don't have to say anything to stay in the spotlight when they are not fighting, because Chael makes sure they stay there. In addition, he allows them to always look like the good guys because he looks like such a **** in comparison.
Finally, love him or hate him, you know you will not miss his fight. More than likely you will be hoping he loses, but you will be watching.
That's a win for Mr. Sonnen.
That's not the point though. Yeah there's no such thing as bad publicity blah blah blah but it's gone past that now it's just got to the point where he sounds bitter and pathetic. The fact is these brazilian guys have got to keep hearing this crap and they (and Chael) know they can't legally do anything about it. He's just making noise hoping to keep himself in line for a title shot but I wish he'd put his head down and just earn it like every other fighter has to rather than trying to talk his way back into the spotlight
Why are these stupid hockey fans asking their stupid hockey questions? How about they go to some NHL event for that.
tsk on his comments about cro cop..
just watch the entire 42minutes video effortless!
Chael Sonnen is the man!!
i have mixed feeling about his fight with Stann since im big fan of both of them , losing would be a bif set back for either of them.
I want Chael to fight Silva again but i also want Stann to get to the top
Besides Belfort ,Stann is the only other guy who can has a chance to beat Sonnen at Middleweight .
I don't get sick of this guy and to be honest, I haven't heard him talk about Anderson that much during this one. Sure he still talks about Anderson from time to time, but I wish people wouldn't take him so seriously.
Yeah he lost to Anderson, everyone's over it, he's just playing it up for attention, that's the business of MMA. If you don't like him, don't watch.
It's not like the title of this article is "Click here for a surprise"
You knew what it was gonna be, you knew who he was gonna talk about, you knew what he was gonna say and yet people still bitch. He's not really gonna take on the Nogueira brothers, he's not moving up to LHW, and even if he did and he won, what would that prove?
It's hype for the sake of hype, I don't think of it as some ancient code that all fighters must follow that demands they respect everyone, I don't think he means any of it, it's just talk. I love Black House, I love Cro Cop, I love Sonnen, nothing any of these guys have to say about eachother is gonna change that. Get real and stop taking things so close to home.
If Chael Sonnen losses to Brian Stann
2 things will happen :
#1 Brian Stann will become the #2 Middleweight and Chael #3
#2 Silva Nuthuggers will go wild saying stupid stuff about Chael
trying to discredit Chaels achievements and skills.
But real fans will know that that he is still a top contender with amazing skills that were enough to kick Silva's ass for over 20minutes
that is if Brian Stann beats Sonnen.
If Sonnen wins then he will have another chance to kick Silva's ass
and this time take the belt home.
corey where is this Dan Henderson comment about Chael coming from.....Did he tell you in a bar because thats bs, nowhere to be found on google.
I hope at some point Rampage takes him up on that offer to kick his ass.
Can get CLOSE to beating silva on PEDs . Sonnen is a hypocrite lowlife punk. Talks shit about LANCE ARMSTRONG about PEDs...then does them himself. When wanderlai was face to face with him he didn't have SHIT to say but.."ok" "yeah"...but from the comfort of his living room hell talk shit on twitter..haha don't even get me started on the real estate fraud bs. Hes a nobody. Never will be anything zuffa needs to cut his ass he can't fight he doesn't evn have the balls to talk shit face to face...he's the definition of a keyboard warrior
i wanna see vitor vs chael. and i wanna see vitor destroy chael :D
