Because calling out Anderson earns both of them bucketloads of cash (he even spoke about breaking records in that last interview). The reason I like Chael is that, while entertaining, he also seems a genuinely cool, humble, intelligent guy. Just a dude who likes to take the piss, mess and make a lot money doing so in the process. Is that not what we'd all love to be if we were in his spot, with his undeniable talent?

Yeah, i'd say Chael is great once you are not trying to buy a house off him.

I understood that he wasn't actually ripping off the purchaser of the house but was instead arranging a cash incentive to encourage the sale.

Yeah, that's what I understood too, that sorta thing happens daily here wit no bother, just that America are so anal about that sorta thing

I thought it was organising the imaginary sales for the purposes of tax breaks and relief.

And so it begins :pac::pac::pac::pac:

I don't have one, I just remember the news reports from the time. I remember that he was basically getting more money for the buyer from the mortgage company.

I think this explains it: http://www.lakeoswegoreview.com/news/story.php?story_id=129410490911120000

His segment from UFC Tonight explains Fighters and lying :pac:

"Fighters have recently seen it as their quasi-job to continually put out misinformation. They just refuse to answer a question head-on. You know there's a tremendous difference with what fighters say versus what they mean.

For example 'I don't want to leave it in the hands of the judges' means 'I didn't train to go three rounds.' Uh, 'I'm surrounded with a new team in camp' means 'all my old friends abandoned me.' Uh, 'I need to go to training camp to be in seclusion' means 'My wife and kids are driving me nuts.'

I don't understand why fighters don't just talk plainly. In my last fight, I took on a gentleman named Michael Bisping. He hit me very hard and it hurt...a lot. People are shocked that I would admit that. Because they're all so used to lying. Well, guess what? If a guy hits you hard and it hurts, is your ego so small that you can't pay him a compliment? Is your ego so fragile that you can't say 'Look, I had my bell rung in the middle of a fistfight?' It kind of seems like a normal thing to happen, to me.

I expect to be hit hard, I expect to be kick hard. I don't need to hide from those things. Let's be objective, let's look at things head on and try to figure out what happened. If he threw a great punch, maybe I can break down the video and learn how to throw it myself. If he threw a bad punch and it hurt, maybe I need to learn how to get out of the way. But I don't need to come to the media and lie"

And what does it mean when they say 'I am the UFC Middleweight Champ' :pac:

I want to buy his book though.

El Guapo! · 09-04-2012 07:45PM

:D

@mayhemmiller
Jason Mayhem Miller Chael berating someone on their test level is like me making fun of someone's bad haircut

@sonnench
chael sonnen MayHem: Due to time constraints I am currently confining my Twitter wars to active, relevant, fighters ONLY. Buy a T-shirt on your way out.

I wonder if Mayhem is looking to start a twitter war to get a fight with Sonnen. Not that he'd deserve one after his last performance.

Miller ain't in the same league as Sonnen, his cardio is rubbish and with Sonnen's non-stop pressure he would be toast

scudzilla · 09-04-2012 07:51PM

So Miller wants a title shot then? Ain't gonna happen

El Guapo! · 09-04-2012 08:26PM

I have to agree.
Miller wouldn't stand a chance against Sonnen. He's not even near top 10.
He can talk all he wants but if he wants Sonnen he'll have to prove himself in the cage rather than on Twitter.
A back and forth Twitter war between those two would be great though!

Leeg17 · 10-04-2012 01:49AM

I've only seen 2 tweets, but I want MORE!

Mr. Manager · 10-04-2012 07:24AM

@sonnench don't worry-you're a beatdown away from obscurity. I'll be happy to beat your head in-that's if it's not still on a pike in Rio

Seriously, what planet is this kid living on? Sonnen would end what's left of his career...

He has to be trying to talk his way into a big money fight. There's no way he can actually believe he can beat Sonnen. He must be looking for some retirement money.

Shazbot · 10-04-2012 08:08AM

Sonnen beat Miller before and it would probably go the same way a second time. Miller would have a chance though.Miller's BJJ is good enough to catch a sloppy Sonnen.

I think people are being to harsh on Miller with regards to his cardio. He looked awful against Bisping but he has gone 5 rounds and not looked as bad.

With the biggest fight of his life coming up in a few months I don't think you'll ever find a sloppy Sonnen.

10-04-2012 10:24AM

Didn't they both train out of Team Quest at one point?

El Guapo! · 11-04-2012 07:25AM

Yet another tweet by miller:

"@mayhemmiller: I love the MMA media's obsession with Fael. After the Brazilian kicks his head in, I'm going to end his career."

It'll be interesting to see if Chael responds. I don't know if Miller actually believes what he's saying or is just trying to get a big payday.

Mr. Manager · 11-04-2012 08:07AM

He's delusional if he believes what he writes. The guy could barely go 1 round with Bisping and now he's picking fights with the No.1 contender?!

I hope that Chael beats Silva for many reasons but 1 would be to just shut Miller up.

Zero-Cool · 11-04-2012 12:41PM

I'm a big fan of both Miller and Sonnen but even though could have a chance (if he got his cardio back on track) you still shouldn't call out the no. 1 contender after such a disastrous loss.

MrStuffins · 11-04-2012 03:43PM

I have more chance of shagging Megan Fox than Miller has of beating Sonnen!

cowzerp · 11-04-2012 03:50PM

after the last fight i just could not see any change-he got badly dominated.

Roar · 21-04-2012 08:13AM

ha ha, more chael, only this time with added poems about Anderson!

“I think (Rampage) is going to come out one more time. You know, Quinton is really good, and I’m not sure why. I don’t have the foggiest idea what he’s good at. He can’t wrestle a lick, I don’t believe he knows any submission, he’s got no real competitive boxing or kickboxing, but he is a fantastic fighter when you stick him in the cage and you turn him loose.

“I think he’s got a place, but he’s a crybaby, he’s a real ‘poor me’ guy. He comes in, he takes all the money, he takes all the money, he takes all the spotlight, and it’s still not enough.

“And it’s coming down to, you know, guys showed him respect for a lot of years but now he’s just a nuisance. You want to come around me talking that crap; I’ll smack you down so fast. You think you have problems with Ryan Bader, you know don’t even try that stuff with some of us that have, you know, kicked and scratched and clawed while you, you know, you’ve been eating at the trough for years.

“So Rampage’ has a place, but if he doesn’t want to fight anymore, he doesn’t have too.”

“These two bums (Wanderlei Silva vs. Vitor Belfort) already fought and it lasted 16 seconds, that’s a no brainer. You know, look. Every time Wanderlei fights I get the same feeling, sincerely. ‘Man, I hope he gets up and can walk out of the ring’. It’s the same thing this time, you know, and I think he’s got a big heart, I think he’s got a tremendous place in martial arts from the wrasslin’ he did over in Japan to the competitive stuff he did here. At the end of the day, this isn’t work he can do.”

“Good news – first punch I throw (at Anderson Silva) might not land. Bad news, there’s going to be five more coming right behind it. I will still be the man with the biggest arm, the greatest charm and that does the most harm and when it’s all said and done, I will stomp you for 25-minutes or until you give up and Bruce Buffer will once again announce, ‘And still undefeated, and still undisputed, and still Chael P. Sonnen’.”
