Ed Soares: Chael Sonnen should take a number and wait for Anderson Silva

Anderson Siva's manager Ed Soares spoke to MMAJunkie.com about Chael Sonnen's unusual (but quite expected) outburst at his client during UFC 136 post-fight interview. Soares was sitting next to Anderson Silva when Chael Sonnen announced that "The Spider" absolutely sucks, and called out the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion for a rematch on Superbowl weekend in February.

But according to Soares, Chael Sonnen has to be put in jail, rather than fighting for the UFC Middleweight title:

“First the guy gets in trouble for fraud, then he tests positive for steroids, and now he wants to kick in someone’s door and slap their wife in the ass? This guy should be in jail; he shouldn’t be fighting. Chael is not the person that’s going to determine when [Silva] is going to take the fight. When he’s going to take this fight is when his shoulder is completely healed up, and he’s ready to start his training camp for the fight.

It’s not because Chael says he wants to fight in February. Who is Chael to determine that? Chael needs to take a number and wait his turn. He got his opportunity, and he tapped. It’s not the first time he’s tapped, and I guarantee you it won’t be the last.”

The only fighter currently in position to "steal" the title shot away from Chael Sonnen is Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort, who impressively TKO'd Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 133. Sonnen was already scheduled for a rematch with Anderson Silva, but was forced into sidelines due to a famously failed drug test. UFC are yet to announce the identity of Anderson Silva's next opponent inside the Octagon.

    ed soares is a **** but in this case he is probably right, chael can ask for a fight but he has no right whatsoever to put in crazy stipulations into the fight, this is not the wwe. That being said dana should make this fight happen due to mass public appeal.

    Well, it's a gentleman's bet... not like these stipulations would ever meet ink and paper.



    As crazy as it sounds... the GOAT should be nervous... because there's a madman on the loose - and his name is Chael Sonnen.

    Soares is right and it's amazing how many people have not learned of the tale of the Pied Piper. All the sheople (sheep people) following who has the loudest mouth and disrespecting a true martial artist for an Oregon gangster. He is a criminal and a proud one at that. Because he is white and somewhat well spoken people tend to overlook this. Or maybe if his crime was selling drugs rather than fraud he would be viewed as a "legit crim"...



    I hope Anderson taps his drugged up ass (no homo, lol) again and sends him packing to WWE where he so desperately wants to go for the payday.

    Chael should take a number??? He just won the #1 contender fight so Chael is #1. Ed soares is the one who is scared for Silva! I bet you he almost sh#t his pants before Anderson submitted Chael and he doesn"t want that to happen anytime soon. The UFC will make this fight anyway so he can go wear a diaper.

    I agree with soares at the point where who does chael think he is to set the date of the rematch? I think by beating Stann (if he passes the drug test that they should do) he made #1 contender. Mebe give him winner of Bisping vs Miller first just to make extra sure. But Soares is right, let Silva fully heal first. Im tired of hearing all the BS "Silva was injured in the first fight and Sonnen was on roids". How about this, Chael, let Silva heal up and in the meantime u can learn how to atleast properly cycle your Roids and then u two can beat the shit out of each other. I will watch the fight whether or not its on Superbowl weekend

    How does he not deserve another title shot?



    He's the #1 contender by a mile... and he beat the living dog sh!t out of Silva for 20+ minutes. Just because Chael has a big mouth, doesn't make him deserve it any less.

    If your dog ALMOST lived, that means he died

    If you ALMOST passed a sobriety test, that means D.U.I.

    If you ALMOST got the job, that mean you're still unemployed

    If you ALMOST got laid, that mean you still gotta Jack off(typical for you sonnen fans)

    If Chael ALMOST won the fight, that means he is a LOSER!"

    Silva needs to stop letting this clown speak for him. Anderson should address these things Himself. Language barrier my ass how long has been fighting in the US? 6 years? I'm sure he knows how to speak English.

    Firstly, Chael hasn't achieved anything at all to be talked about as much as he has. Secondly, being a one dimensional fighter can only take you so far in MMA. Lastly, he will never be a champ as long as Anderson Silva is still in the MW division.

    WAIT A MINUTE...

    Chael is a very rounded fighter....watch the tape against Silva again...

    You will see that Chael rocked Silva several times, which led to him being taken down at will.....then he was beaten up for the whole fight... Chael only lost because he got careless, not because Silva was better...never...

    Silva got beaten up for being a so called champ... Chael is always beaten up his opponents..but gets sloppy and leaves himself open for the only thing that can beat him..a submission... Sores neds to shut his ass up... There is nobody in line other than Stan and Sonnen..... Its time to get your ass handed tot you again....guarantee that Silva will get hurt in his training camp....

    Chaels record is not anything as good as Silvas and even guys Chael lost to Anderson easily stomped. Chaels only hope is to hold Anderson down but if he has to fight for too long Anderson will eventually get him. Chael is not going to be able to finish Anderson and Anderson will find a way eventually. No one ever saw Anderson fight as badly as he did with Chael, he was swinging for the fences. He probably did underestimate Chael and took the fight injured but he won't make the mistake twice. Anderson would have to go on a 7 fight losing streak to match Chaels performance.lol.

    Ed is making Anderson look scared once again. If he is confident he can submit Chael again, he should take the fight and say he's happy to get rid of Chael and move on. Ed is worried for Silva and this is not a good sign.



    Chael earned his spot and that last fight was rematch material. Its not like SIlva submitted Chael in the first round.

    When have Silva ever jumped in front of a microphone & started going dumb on his challengers?



    Sonnen says Silva sucks, then challenged him to a steel cage match or something that have to do with WWE & now people call him their king, their hero, their lover, ect, ect. Bones get hated on for being confident in himself in a professional matter.

    First off apparently Sores would have to do it for him.Lol. I agree that Sonnen has a big mouth and that those words were like something you'd hear in a school yard but it still doesn't change the fact that Sonnen has been Silva's greatest challenge an he should want to send Chael packing once and for all. Both Silva and Sonnen are gifted fighters and this needs to be put to rest.

    Ed Soares is the only translator that doesn't translate, rather he lives vicariously through the fighters adding sarcasm that demeaning words that the fighter never voiced.... Anderson Silva would be even more loved if not for Ed Soares.

    So good ole Ed is back at it again. In 2009 it was Henderson doesn't deserve a title shot because Marquardt had done more to deserve it. Then Nate knocks out Maia and then Ed says Marquardt should have to fight Henderson first. Then Belfort comes back to the UFC and beats Franklin and he says Vitor shouldn't get becuase he couldn't make it to 185 (even tho Vitor had made it there before) So now were back to Ed picking Anderson's next fight. I understand why he is like this he's scared of his biggest clinet losing, but Ed of all people should have faith in whoever Anderson fights. Anderson is the best in the world so Ed needs to just have a little more faith and let's stop asking this idiot and even Steven Seagal questions about fighters because they don't matter.

    I think Ed is scared and that mentality of eventually Anderson will lose is going to hurt the blackhouse team if they start believing that they themselves are just fighting off THE BIG LOSE scenario that eventually is coming. Anderson is definetly the best and even if he loses he may come back without pressure and destroy the guy who mentally beat him. Chael is playing mind games and trying to scare Silva with threats of what will happen after he loses because he knows if both have their minds strait Anderson will make Chael look like he is deep into rigor mortis.

    Oops, disregard "ggg"- accidental typing incident.



    Several have already said it- Ed is doing nothing but making his client look scared. And Ed should watch those stones he's throwing- karma's a bitch. He Ed, better, hope you're life and actions are sqeaky clean wishing jail on someone who arlready paid his debt to society.



    Ed is a two-bit hack who rose from the ranks of T shirt salesmen to luck into having some great fighters to rep. He should be thankful he has a job and stop running his mouth about things he knows not.

    If it wasn't for Ed Sores! i would probably have some respect for Silva

    because i know he is the one making Silva duck fights

    i knew he would not want to take Sonnen challenge.

    same thing with Henderson , avoid it at all cost and now he will do the same with Sonnen , i guess after he beat Belfort it was a huge relief and now he will want some cans for at least 2 years



    Same thing happen after the Hendo fight, now same thing is happening , after belfort they gave him Okami , i guess Bisping is next

    I just watched that fight with hendo and Hendo was not beating his a*s. I've even heard from some of you guys that Cote was doing really well when you could easily see that Anderson was playing his game at will and had never fully opened up on Cote. Hendo, Lutter and others were beaten at their own dominant game buy Anderson.

    so anderson silva is being an ed soares slave??? its clear that they both agree on whatever soares goes and say to the media...



    anderson is always afraid. thats why he behaved like a crazy guy against maia, forrest, belfort, etc. ive said a million times he doesnt want the big challenges. he wants easy fights.



    you will never see a champion with that many title defenses that doesnt challenges the champion of the division above. instead he wants to be friends jon jones and go to the park and play.



    he should be like jones that said that it will hard for him but at the end he will fight silva. for goodness he went on 205 and fought james irwin!!! that says it all. that will like if GSP goes to 185 and fights mike massenzio or someone like that.



    be a man silva... fight sonnen and if you win fight someone like shogun or bones jones!!

    Don't forget in 2008 Soares was the one who wanted Silva to retire so he would go out on top and Silva seemed to be considering it inless Silva was just talking about retirement for the heck of it. So that shows that Ed is just trying to make sure Silva doesn't lose for the rest of his career and that Soares has a big influence (which he shouldn't have) on Silva. So someone please shut this douche up.
