Colossal failure it is then
LMFAO
I love Chael Interviews, however ,he was too serious in this one ,even though it was interessting , I prefer to hear him make fun of some other fighters. its more funny. Even if he makes a joke about Fedor ,I ll probably laugh... or maybe not.
Getting caught taking roids in a title fight and still losing? Getting caught for Mortgage fraud and having your realtors license revoked?.... not too many dark moments huh
@AlexSayhi.
Can't even bring myself to make a comment after reading yours...instant classic.
Jeremy Horn defeated chael 3 times WAW!!!
@CageRage - Hope you had some tissues to hand fella, sounds like you enjoyed that one a bit too much
Just because you have absolutely nothing to say, don't rag on those who recognize a great comment when they see one....douchebag.
Lol don't take it to heart son, just a bit of friendly banter. Didn't think you'd cry over it. Best get the tissues out again...
I feel bad for those that can't enjoy Chael. C'mon, join the party!
he cheated in a championship fight!!! i feel bad for chael fans!!!
I agree Bruce, some of the people on this site have a common case of "head up their ass". He says and does this stuff for pure show and to sell his fights. Now weak me haters.
It is getting to the point where even when he tries to give a normal, calm and relaxed interview; people are stil going to have some kind of negative comments to make. This cat just can't catch a break, even when he is trying to take a break from his normal theatrics.
15 weaks!! Now who's getting flayed Bruce!
Don't flay Bruce either. (was a "spoonerism" on the Chris DeBurgh song "Don't pay the Ferryman". Ha ha
While I agree with you I still hit weak because you wanted us to.
**** Phael Sonnen ;)
at the GUN store
It shouldn't be that hard to get a UFC MW/LHW replica belt online to put around your waist, better yet, you can always become the WWE champ, Chael.
cheal drama is so retarded, i can“t help myself and spas out on every single funny button...
chael talks shit and backs it up = entertainment
I love when people say that he backs it up....awesome...sow now tapping like a little bia_tch while on PEDs is backing something up.
Anderson tapped to Ryo Chonan like a little bia_tch
Have you ever heard of him?... that what i thought
That was back a long time ago and Chael still hasn't become a man. 2 fights ago tapped, 3 fights before that he tapped, 2 fights before that he tapped 5 fights before that he tapped, 1 fight before that he tapped, 2 fights before that his corner tapped for him so it has been a history of being a bia*ch.
Last time Silva tapped was 19 fights ago and really it's the last time he truly lost at all. The only other time Anderson tapped was 4 fights prior to that one and those two tapps were back in 2003 and 2004 where as chaels last was only august 7 2010 which is a year and a half ago of which he spent 1 year of it suspended for cheating. Just like always the real bia*ches out there are the loud mouths trying to prove something because they still have much to prove.
Yea, anderson lost to nobodies he didn't take seriously. Now he wins against guys he doesn't take seriously....
Wait, who are you?
You could have just typed the first sentence and everyone would know where your book was heading. I prefer to laugh at the opportunity sometimes as it goes by.
he's a cheat....fact....should be banned from fighting in the ufc .
wow, thats the first time anyone has ever said that....
Pause the video at 0:28. Its written: Chael Sonnen
MMA Legend
Can we really consider him a legend, despite the fact that he never won any significant title?
a title dosnt make a legend, Cro Cop never held what you would call a significant title, yet he is a legend.
and just to add, I dont think Chael is a legend in MMA either.
Cro Cop won Pride openweight GP in 2006, he beat Wanderlei and Barnett in one night, i would call that pretty significant.
Nope, unless it's his mouth and cheating we're talking about.
Do you find it hard to go through life no knowing when a joke is a joke, taking all jokes seriously?
the only'end Chael will ever be is a bellend.
One more for the bad guy
I got it chico
Sonnen has all the rights to say that his career will be a failure if he does not win the belt... If your in the MMA business and your not aspiring to become the champion then you should not be in the MMA business.
i accualy liked this interview, chael is not being wwe a$$hole that hes know to be. this is a real sport so the talk should be real too. if i wanted to hear the stupid sh!t that he usualy says i would be a prowrestling and not mma fan.
Chael Sonnen will go down as the greatest comedian ever in Ufc history to never get that gold.
