Chael Sonnen on Joe Rogan's podcast

Deus Ex Machina

Anybody listen? Chael is a such a natural in this setting. It was a fascinating discussion, ranging from sociology to MMA and an interesting segue into DB Cooper. Chael also said that the current system for exposing use of PEDs is pretty much junk science, although I suppose he has a dog in that fight himself.

Either way, pretty interesting to hear a long conversation with the guy, pretty much closes out the questions as to whether he's really a nutcase or just a top notch showman who knows how to put on a performance in press conferences etc. He came across as very intelligent, a genuinely nice guy as well as well read and interesting on top of being as funny as fuck. Recommended highly to any Chael fans.

I used to listen to Rogans podcast all the time but I haven't tuned in for a good while now. I'll have to listen back to this one though.

I'm a regular listener and I think this is one of the best I've heard from Joe.
For one thing, it's great to hear some lengthly discussion on MMA and secondly Chael is just an interesting guy.

One thing though, after the first 20 mins I was starting to feel like I'm wasting my time training if I'm not taking performance enhancers

Thought they both sounded like a pair of tossers to be honest.

Just listening now, the buying Chris Leben's stories for $100 part is absolutely hilarious.

You think so? Why's that?

Watched half of it last night. I'll watch the rest later. I thought most of what they were saying was right but I don't agree with Rogans view on PEDs. He was basically saying he sees no problem with it. That's ridiculous imo.
When Chael is being himself and not the promo machine, he is a very interesting and likeable guy. Seems very intelligent and down to earth.

I wonder if the guy he's talking about actually is DB Cooper :P.
