Sonnen: Suspension up, immediately begins talking sh1t again.

Opinicus

Really dissing Wanderlei:mad: and saying he might even stop by 205 and take out Machida on his way back down to 185. :rolleyes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu9vCdsFUBc

I don't mind the trash talk because he really does it in an entertaining funny manner, but I would get some satisfaction out of Wanderlei squishing him.

drayme

Tis what he does.

Water wet and that. I wonder how much Portland Wrestling he has been watching during his lay off.

scudzilla

Hahaha, gotta love a bit of Chael

manga_10

I hear he's been working his triangle defense

Mellor

Begins talking ****e again????

Em, I don't believe he ever stopped. Wandy, Nog, Bisping and of course Silva were getting it constantly the last few months

MrStuffins

He's MMA's David Haye, except that Chael really is the real deal. He writes the cheques and his ass cashes them. I can see him talking himself into any fight he wants. Can't wait to have him back!

Like him or loath him you have to admit that he is a funny guy - his twitter is outrageous at the best of times - http://twitter.com/#!/sonnench

I thought he wasn't being too bad towards Wand. He's right what he says about him.

I only found his page last night for the first time...Holy **** he is funny.I love the smack talk too. I find it funny no one,except Wandy has had a real go at him for the sh1t he says.

cant wait for smack talk to start again on for his next fight !!:D

Yeah I think he was right about most of what he said about Silva. The only bit I thought was a bit unfair is when he called him a bum.

I love him and hate him , good to have him back .

To be honest 99% of the stuff he says is outrageous nonsense - in my opinion treat it like comedy - laugh but - it is what it is - comedy!

Calling BJJ guys pyjama wearers... I mean come on Chael LOL :D:D

I think 99% of the stuff he says is true.

He called out Big Nog on the Mir fight making an excuse for the loss, the Segal thing is just weird with Machida and Anderson,and Wandy is way way past his best.

It's just funny the way he goes about expressing his opinion, but he backs it up by the way he fights. I like the fact he is not afraid to piss Zuffa off and says what he thinks instead of the usual kissing arse that goes on !!

Xlami

I understand the appeal but I'm not a fan of him. I understand how important it is for fighters to get there name out there and increase their pay per view numbers. But I think after all his lies and the amount of times he's contradicted himself he really has been exposed. If he didn't act in the manner he did fans would just see him as another boring wrestler. The guy rarely finishes fights. Without all the loud mouth talk he'd be as recognisable to casual fans as someone like Aaron Simpson.

el dude

He's completely boring, inside and outside of the ring. Hopefully he gets his wish and Lyoto can karate kick him back into obscurity.

ScareGilly

Chael Sonnen is Free!!! :D:D

Still at least the third best middleweight in the world, still tied number one imo though..
He'd beat Wandy and to be honest, I think he'd beat Machida too..

So there I am minding my owns business, beep beep goes the phone
tuesday morning

"Lyoto, don't feel bad that you don't have the belt. You still have that little cotton one my nephew has."

Sonnen`s twitter, the only one I have, it is funny, free entertainment. Sonnen isnt up all night thinking of funny things to say, he is just funny on the go.

Now for the fight, it looks as if dana has given him an impossible fight, machida with his illusive:rolleyes: style will block the take down attempts and smack the body off him with strikes, but chael loses most of his fights to submissions not ko.

I think its going to be a great fight and alot of people will be delighted to see chael ko, or if he manages to get it to the ground, he will pound on lyoto.
For me this is a good entertaining stlye match-up and look forward to whatever happens

Literally no idea what you are on about.

I'm sure Sonnen appeals to those fans coming over from the WWE with his childish idiotic rants. What else could it be, , it's not like he's especially witty or anything, or anything like an exciting fighter. He just trash talks, and has had, on the balance of things, very boring fights. I'd be surprised if even a small fraction of his fans have seen him fight in anything other than the Silva one, because if they had, well, i don't think he'd have as many fans as he has.

Can't really complain as this is the fan base the UFC have worked so hard to cultivate over the years.

If chael fights lyoto he will guaranteed pound the craap outta him, probably out box him too, trlerible match up for machida in my opinion.

I see you edited your post...


Sonnen is playing a game in order to gain big fights and big money,which he is doing quite well at.You can see through his personnel history, the kind of antics he pulled.I have no problem with this, everybody tries to do it.

I am looking forward to the fight, style match up wise.

Sonnen is funny and certainly not boring outside the ring, yes within the ring he certainly doesnt have the style in the ring that "those fans coming over from the WWE" like, which is why you prob think he is boring.

riffmongous

I enjoy watching Sonnen fight, I don't think he's boring because he doesn't finish, he keeps busy and his aggressive style leaves him open to subs which keeps his fights interesting for me.

Plus I got a lot of respect for Sonnen's amusing trash talking after listening to David Haye's rubbish for the past few weeks.

mailburner

find him hilarious
the q&a with the fans before the silva fight was some laugh
if only he had a decent sub defence
nobodys gonna knock the guy out when silva couldn't
and unlike a lot trash talk spouted by others chael usually
backs it up
bad match up for any fighter really

Funniest guy on twitter, bar none

Here's some of his Tweets

Wand, you might as well fill out your own toe tag. Where is says "Cause of death," just write, "I pissed off a Gangster."


16th Dec

Submit your e-mail at greenlightdaily.com to be entered in contest to be my corneman. Not you Wand, if requires an ability to type.


10th May

I watch hockey and rugby. Anything that has a remote chance of breaking out into a fight. Which is exactly why I stopped watching George.


3rd June

Don't get me wrong; Cro Cop was a good fighter back in the day. I would have told him myself, but I was 2.


3rd June

Machida is a gentleman. MMA is very cutthroat, and it's sweet that Lyoto promised to never fight his girlfriend Anderson. That's devotion.



3rd June

I'd beat up Machida on the way to the ring to beat up Anderson, and I'll kick Nogeria's ass in the parking lot on the way to my after party.


11th June

Yushin and I go back to civilzation tomorrow. Thanks for everything, Brazil. It was like camping in Compton.


23rd June


Axe Murderer, my Ass. I'm more intimidated by Axe Body Spay.


24th June


You beat 22 men in a row over in Japan, and can't beat 2 straight in the US... Big difference when the refs not wearing an earpiece.


4th July

Lyoto, don't feel bad that you don't have the belt. You still have that little cotton one my nephew has.

I don't like him tbh. I think he gets boring. Fair enough if he's trash talking his opponent in the run up to a fight....but he's just slabbering about anyone n everyone at the minute. Gone into overload now.

(edited) forgot to say I really dislike what he said about Lance Armstrong. Saying that anyone deserves to get cancer is just wrong. Made him look like a right prick when he was banned

Really? Do youthink he backed it up against Silva? He didnt do any damage for all the time spent on top of him

Logical Fallacy

Sonnen will be twice the dickhead now...he's been out of the loop too long and needs to distract people from his misdeeds. Better to be considered a cock than a cheat or a crook afterall.

Personally, i love the dude. He's comedy on legs.

Sonnen Vs Stann

Very interesting one, he's not going to get away with much trash talk on Stann without becoming hated by 100% of American fans. Interesting fight, Briann hasn't fought a wrestler at 185, he got tossed around by Mr. Wonderful at 205. Looking forward to the fight not so much the bull**** that will preceed it.

I thought he said Lance brought it on himself? Which apparently could be the case with the steroid case going on with him..
How did he not back it up? Did you see the fight? Two 10-8 rounds and two 10-9 rounds, he demolished him on the feet and took him down and kept him down at will... Nobody's done either of those to Silva, never mind both on fight night..
He landed 279 strikes on supposedly the hardest man to hit in the UFC, if you don't think he backed it up, you must be crazy...

Yep, I think Stann is probably the worst match up for him at MW, anyone else wouldn't be too bad..

There actually won't be any trash talk about the Marines though, considering the UFC's tight with them I doubt Chael will say anything..

Most cyclists are normally doped up on EPO, which isn't a steroid.

It was obvious aimed at Anderson and Machida. But he isn't calling them actors, he's talking about their advice the got from Seagal

Which is a bit stupid from Chael, the Seagal thing is obviously a joke.
He should stick to stuff that will get a laugh and piss guys off

Not necessarily the case. Stann can wrestle too, can box, but more importantly has shown a massive improvement off his back since he joined Team Jackson. This is a bad match up for Sonnen!

Sonnen is a guy I love to hate. He plays the heel great. I'll be cheering for him against Stann though. There's nothing more irritating than an overly-patriotic US marine.

The Bored One

I've little or no time for Chael. I tend to consider respect and civility to be pretty important, and his constant flow of thrash-talk runs more than a little contrary to it. I know that some people find that type of thing adds to the fights, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

Helwani is a good interviewer yes but far from the best. IMO he was a ****ing disgrace in that video. Chael was disrespecting legends off the sport and Ariel was too much of a coward to stick up for them. He didn't once challenge Chael on any of the bull**** he spouted. Even when Chael said he beat Anderson the little mermaid just sat there with a big grin on his face because he knew the coverage this interview would get. Helwani seems to want to befriend everyone and is happy to be lied to by fighters. Guys like McNeill, Gross and Morgan wouldn't have put up with Chael's ****e because they are more concerned with good quality reporting then the views on a video.

Logical Fallacy

Sonnen has already show he is too savvy to talk **** about a Marine in the current climate.

I ask Brazil for a fight, and Machida answers.I ask for a REAL fight, and a Marine steps up.I see you hiding Lyoto, and I won't forget this.

Dude is very clever, and adept at keeping his options open. If he loses to Stann he keeps the viability of a fight with Lyoto alive because Lyoto wasn't off his radar. Line up a few things about being honoured to lose to a hero, weight cut blahdiblah and boom...another big fight for him.
