Chael Sonnen comments on Anderson Silva's UFC 126 victory
Posted on February 7, 2011, 09:54 AM by Anton Gurevich"Thank you, Anderson, for revealing yet another weakness for me to exploit in our rematch. Beating that poor punching bag doesn't impress Uncle Chael, guy. You tipped your hand like a chump poker player at a $5 table in Atlantic City. You may have beaten Vitor, but in the process, you LOST your edge. By beating that husk, you gave me the last page of your playbook. Revel in your time, [because] it ENDS the night you face me. I will mow you down like autumn wheat, AGAIN." - PaulLazenby.com (via BloodyElbow.com)
Chael Sonnen is still out there, guys. The Oregonian will look to return sometime this summer, with sights on getting another shot at the UFC Middleweight title. Sonnen was just two minutes away from defeating Anderson Silva at UFC 117, before getting submitted via a dramatic Triangle Choke. But how Chael Sonnen fits in the current UFC Middleweight title picture, which includes Yushin Okami and maybe Georges St. Pierre? Should he get an immediate rematch against Anderson Silva? Be heard.

Dude really should've been a politician/lawyer. Lol, what a doosh..
that's probably because he was a politician.
Chael's weakness is the piss test.
Wow haha nice!
lol ! sonnen is coming silva!
ufc 126 silva looks like he is losing him edge! taking the frist front face kick and missing ! than the second kick ! wow silva connected ! silva caught vitor! i do know ! if this match was standing it would of not turned out like that for silva! but sonnen is comming again!
Dude your a delusional idiot. No amount of amazing things that silva does will ever make you like him. Everytime a fighter im going against does something cool, i compliment them. Even though that first kick wasnt accurate, at least notice how there was close to no telegraph in it. He kicks are just as fast as his jab. Ill take unique uppercut elbow ko's, step back jab ko's, or front kick ko's over "anybody can do it", "just throw it and ill get lucky" overhand ko's any day. Get a life and stop trolling.
and i do know vitor wasnt ko from that kick! it should of been a tko!
hey man silva had broken ribs prior to the cheal fight... you are dummmmm, just look at the silva vrs damian or vitor and you will notice he is in much better shape and more mentaly focused becuase hes not bothered by BROKEN RIBS.. lol
Let me guess, youre going to go on a tirade on how silva got lucky and vitor actually faked it. What a noob!!!
Chael, I saw the weakness too! When Anderson kicked Vitor in the face, you could see on Anderson's face that Vitor's lip tickled the bottom of his foot. Knowing that, Chael's triangle escape became obvious.....tickle him.
Even though i hate sonnen's guts, you cant deny that he has the skills to exploit andersons game. I say rematch to know for sure.
Yeah he's funny but i hope he'll work on his bjj defense this time and i hope anderson will have intact ribs, we dont need more excuses from his die hard fans if he looses.
Lol wat weakness??? he KO'd Belfort in like 3 mins and only threw like 5 strikes and also someone needs to remind this fool he lost, he got choked out and arm bared and he tapped, who cares if he was winning most of the fight he ended up tapping so he should not be talking rite now
dominating someone speaks volumes, just like submitting someone. Im one of those guys who are more impressed with domination though. And everyone cares that Silva was getting dominated, even you and all the rest of the Silva fans who suddenly "dont care" about dominating opponents but mention how dominant Silva was in his fights that he won (except Sonnen). Not saying Sonnen will win the rematch but a more conservative GnP from Sonnen in the rematch could equal a win.
Domination by a heavy blanket. Did you see Silva's face after the fight? Unmarked due to the pillows Sonnen was hitting him with.
So are you basically saying that its okay to be a quitter? To me a real champ doesnt quit, they pull from deep inside to work through adversity. Do you know how many times anderson couldve quit while he was getting smashed on his back. Most normal guys wouldve quit. If sonnen really wanted that belt, he wouldnt have tapped. I really believe that even if silva beat gsp, sonnen, and the future lhw champ, haters still wouldnt acknowledge his greatness. Any how, how about sending jones down to middleweight to shut sonnens trap for good. I bet if dana ever announced that fight, sonnen would literally piss on himself.
I was going to say the same thing. if some just saw the results and not the fight they would have thought Silva by KO.
I never said it was a massacre. Sonnen handled him with wrestling and threw constant punches. Not saying Sonnen has bombs. He does have pillows for fists but it was still domination, and the multiple 10-8 rounds on the judges scorecards prove that. Thats all im saying.
I agree with BBQ. Again 260+ strikes. No knockout.
Chaels the man how can you not at the very least find this guy entertaining...and also not respect him for achiveing what no man has achieved against Silva...very few people have the balls say what he says, especially to Anderson, a pereceived bully before facing Chael...I see a change in Anderson after facing Sonnen...he seems more humble and is doing more media appearances portraying a freindly guy image...Sonned definately got into his head and he will employ the same strategy this time round. MMA needs more characters like Sonnen, Rampage, Diaz...big talkers, but big walkers no question.
right after the fight his face wasn't looking that great, if you go back and look at pictures. it was only after he got cleaned up that he looked normal again. how a fighter looks doesn't matter anyway though. some guys like Sonnen, and myself, get cut and bruised more easily, and will always look bad after a fight. the fight, and what happened in it, are all that matter.
@ Hit2Hurt : Good point. Don't know why people are weak'n you for a pretty coherent statement.
@DaddyLongStrokes: I know what you mean. I just like to talk shit about Sonnen. He still gave Silva a hell of a time. I just wish he would shut his mouth.
chael is so impressive. i want to see that rematch more than silva vs st pierre
if jon bones beats shogun rashad will move down, if gsp beats shields he will move up. if this happens chael will officially be out of the title picture forever. the only reason hes so highly ranked is anderson is the only well rounded top class fighter in the division. i really hope it pans out with both of em moving into middleweight. give silva a real challenge.
LOL! How can you not like this guy!!! He is a marketing genius!
its obvious what needs to happen.. get cheal out of the ufc.. i mean right? cheal = mma garbage
@Rane
Unfortunately you are correct. I can't stand the guy anymore but I will watch him.
@ Japanegro23
AGREE!
He makes me crack up! Straight up comedian!
since him being the closest to defeating silva, theres ah chance he could but not reall sure with all the steriod and money laundering accusations,
Yeah that stuff is pretty shady, thats a given. That being said though he was real close to winning convincingly against Silva. I wouldn't write sonnen off
motha fuka... lol
WAR CHAEL HAHA!!!!
No no Jamie! Quit it.
I"m not a Silva fan but Sonnen had his chance and blew it. We've seen the Chael Sonnen pre fight show and its getting boring. Imagine if he beats Anderson how much crap we'd have to listen to ? Save that mindless hype for the WWE. I"d much rather see a class act as a champion, than a big mouth D- bag.
This guy is a clown theres no way he'll beat Silva in a rematch imo. Silva way too slick to fall for the same trick twice + Sonnen will have too really shorten his steroid cycle or possilby stop taking them. Hopefully Sonnen has to wait next year to get his shot, seeing Silva should two superfights this year agaibst GSP and a top LHW
If Rashad does end up moving down I would be very intrigued to see a Evans vs Sonnen match-up.
Put Chael in the ring with Vitor.
Exactly what I was thinking. In his continual verbal abuse of Anderson he calls out Vitor. That would be a pretty awesome matchup.
I don't wan't to see Cheatael Sonnen against no one in the Octagon. If Dana White had any common sense, this guy would be cut. Cheatael is bad for MMA.
This fight could happen. Think about it. If (lol) GSP gets past sheilds, hes gonna fight silva, During the period of time it takes for GSP to get ready, Chael and Vitor will be set for a fight, both coming off loses to Silva, I totally see Dana and co. putting this fight together, which is awsome, cuz i hate that guy, ive always loved silva and vitor both, so id love nothing more than to see Vitor do to Chael what he did to W. SIlva
This is like saying...."Hey Dana, I can still make you money!!! I'm right over here....Hey Dana!!"
lol.
Just have to wait for him to get clean and paroled to make him money
i was just wondering when chael is going to open he's mouth and BLAM, here it is.
**** dat guy...the only guy that i dislike more than Brock with their im better attitude, sonnen shouldt be able to fight after everything his done, Dana needs to look pass the money and realise this guy is full of lies,deception and steroids....sonnen on steroids lost, if ya want a rematch it should be in japan so Silva can do roids too that way it can be an even match....wack ass guy, Wand should mest this guy up for all the people he scammed...
Didn't he say Vitor is a better then Anderson?! What is he talking about now?
Sonnen has something to say? Amazing!
Nobody cares about Sonnen. This guy is so last year... They gotta stop putting up articles about him saying sh*t about Anderson, it stopped being funny 6 months ago.
What weakness? I guess, he just had another portion of steroids and saw AS not taking them as his weakness.
This guy is full of sh^t. Anderson exposed nothing. Cheal is just trying to talk his way into a title fight. He did well in the first fight but he was on roids and fighting an Anderson Silva who was injured and determined (allegedly) to get a sub victory. Also, as well as he did, he still got finished. He didn't just lose, he got finished. He should go back to third in line and fight, not talk but fight his way back to a title shot. I hope Silva KOs him quicker than he did Vitor.
I wonder if he'll be fighting in black and white stripped, trunks?
And...is it legal to wear in tracking device on your ankle, while in the Octagon?
man, you cheered me up with that one.lol.
Yeah I bet you'll mow him down again Chael, up to the point he catches you in an armbar/choke or anything remotely related to a submission.
Someone tell this guy that no one cares anymore. You got submitted by a guy with a black belt from a Cracker Jack box. Remember?
i believe Chael has an obsession with Anderson, the same way Frank has one with Brock. He probably has a shrine in his closet, with Silvas picture, candles around it and knives in his face.
Cheat sonnen should worry about getting into a promotion BEFORE he starts calling fighters out.
He won't do time, but will get 2 years probabation.
I would like to see a rematch since he came the closest to defeating the juggernaut, Anderson Silva. Plus his trash talk is so over the top, it is comical. (mow you down like autumn wheat?)
If he defeats Anderson Silva, that's cool--if he gets KTFO'd, I can live with that.
it used to be comical
it's getting really old
what a ****
Man everyone was cracking me up. This was a very funny thread.
Oh you gotta love Chaels sense of humor lol. In reality he really did beat the shit out of Anderson for 5 rounds.
Yeah and in reality Chael did beg the ref to stop the fight so his arm wouldn't get snapped in two and so he wouldn't die from asphyxiation.
In reality, Chael Sonnen is a steriod freak, a criminal, and just a plain old lying scumbag who probably hasn't earned an honest dollar in his entire life.
HATER
He ain´t hating he is telling the truth as is, I am done with this clown...
Well just one more thing...
http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/518954/ept_sports_mma_experts-748786552-1281244253.jpg
He beat on AS for quite a while but I don't think he ever came close to beating the sh*t out of him. AS more or less had a massage he couldn't stop for 23 minutes.
Chael, the only fighting you will be doing any time soon is fighting to keep your cell mate's **** out of your ass, enjoy your stay in jail douche bag.
cant wait till chael comes back and ****s up silva (who will already be coming off a loss against GSP)
What was your pick for Vitor vs Belfort I wonder? I guess you bet Vitor by 1/2 second KO R1. I bet every fighter that steps in the cage at MW is the next champ and prover of AS being a crap fighter.lol.
too bad vitor vs belfort never happened dumbass.
and no i said there are only 2 fighters who for sure would beat anderson. shogun and gsp. and anderson has admitted that shogun would beat him and used to **** him up in sparring back in chute box.
At least you knew what I meant.
no i just saw him **** up the guy ur sucking for 23 minutes. gsp cant beat silva? LMAOOOOOOO ok there big guy. no need to argue, we'll see soon. learn ur mma
I swear Chael pays someone to write this stuff
If he worked as hard on his submission defense game as he does on running his mouth, he may actually become champion without needing AS to retire first.
Chael better learn some submission defense fast! If he gets caught in another triangle choke in prison, it's going to turn out so much worse than getting caught in one from Anderson Silva.
if only he could fight as well as he can talk he wud be the champion....
sonnen is a liar, a fraud and a thief. but he sure is entertaining.
Can't wait to see Chael smash him up some more, win or lose he took the fight to the champ like no other before and I can't wait for the rematch.
somehow i dont think silvas going to take sonnen like a joke this time,
Chael is a fraud and cheated .So after get punished the guy deserves a chance and he'll comeback stronger ever so far he is the only may have a chance to stop Anderson Silva.imo
Silva will knock this clown out if there is a rematch. First time around Silva was being patient and wanted to beat Sonnen with Jiu Jitsu
thats bull, If i knew i could knock out a guy i wouldn't let my face get punched over 200 times just so I can beat him with jits. Where was that mentality when he fought Maia.
well you're not Anderson SIlva, arent you?
For each of those 2 fights, Anderson had different motivations for them.
No i'm not Anderson, neither are you. So honestly both arguments are out the window. If you believe what Anderson says then you must give the same courtesy to Chael.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Chael praise Vitor sometime in a previous interview? I believe he called him the best striker in the MW division and now he disses him calling him nothing. Common Chael just SHUT THE **** UP!!!!!!!
Chael you lost bro time to pack that mouth away
I'd like to get drunk with Cheal, i bet he would pick up no problem, with a dime, apple, floss, checkered shirt and his vocabulary, there would be no stopping us.
Well he isn't wrong, honestly until that lucky front kick KO'd Vitor in what way did Silva look good?
All Andersons moves are lucky are they? Well I guess he's luckily the best p4p there is on the planet.
Like it or not .. Chael put a whoopin on Anderson like nobody else has even come close too. To borrow a Brock Lesnar line "He (Anderson) pulled a horse-shoe out of his ass and got lucky". Anderson got his ass beat EVERY single round - stand up and ground.
I don't think he will be that lucky in the next meeting.
not taking anything away from what ur sayin, just adding that Silva had broken ribs. u can now continue
I have to admit, I was very suprised when chael almost pulled this fight off. He didn't win in any crazy way, just by striaght up balls. 5 rounds of doing what he did would make anyone tired, yes he did have some illegal substances in his body. But he did take down the P4P best fighter on the planet mulitple times. With that being said I lost all respect I had for him after he tested positive for PED and then he got caught with money laundering?! WHAT?! Yeah I want to see him get a title shot, just so he can lose again. Hopefully by triangle again since that seems to be his achilles heel.
Chael Sonnen hasn't made any comments to the media in several months.
And now he's going to break his silence for... PaulLazenby.com??? Let's keep in mind that he still has his legal troubles and this type of publicity is not going to help him, which is why he has been avoiding it. Also, there is no audio or video on PaulLazenby.com, the supposed source of the quote.
Maybe Chael said this, or maybe PaulLazenby.com made it up. Show me the video.
LOL looked at the pic ! Oh dear Anderson kiss me would you
WAR Sonnen!!!!
