Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

Aaron Tru Interviews Antonio Mckee, Herb Dean, Chris Arreola and Bobby Green

Antonio Mckee - "You know I don't take it personal, I know I'm the baddest motherf*cker at 155 pounds. I ain't lost in seven years. Whether they think I'm exciting or boring, find somebody to beat my ass. I've been calling out BJ, Karo Parisyan. Give me anybody you want, I ain't ran from a fight. I'll fight anybody, anytime, anywhere. Stop what I do, you get what you want. Let me get what I want, I want to whoop your ass."
Herb Dean - "Thank you for your confidence in me Dana. Man, that's a lot to carry. There’s a lot of good referee's in MMA. Also thanks to all the fans who really appreciate this sport and I really thought when I started refereeing that no one would pay attention to the referees and be thankless but I think that goes to the quality of the fans that they realize that safety is so important, that they pay attention to who's in there and we've got the best fan in the sport."
Chris Arreola - "No never [will I be in MMA]. Dana White has this f*cking sport in a choke hold. He owns everything. He could tell somebody... oh you're getting paid 5 hundred thousand. No I don't want to get paid, go fight somewhere else. There is no where else."

"Anderson Silva man. That guy's a beast. Man that was embarrassing what he did to Forrest Griffin. That guy is toying around and he knocks him out. Wow, embarrassing. But that's why he's one of the best fighters out there."

"I forget which one it is, but that motherf*cker is a beast. The older one, the uglier one. Ya Nick Diaz, that dude is a beast, he goes in to fight. He may not win all the fights but the thing about it; he goes in to fight which fans appreciate. That's what I do, I go in to fight. That's why I'm blessed by getting such a warm welcome tonight, because game recognizes game and I'm there to fight, so does Nick."
Bobby Green - "This is the thing, a lot of the fighters that are doing this right now, they are doing it cause it's cool. I do this. You know I do this. You know before I even started fighting I was doing backyard fights bare knuckle. You know this is just something I've been doing since I was 4 years old. It's just my lifestyle. I'll fight tomorrow if I got offered you know. If I wasn't taking my 7 day suspension, I would do it again."

"You know, before I used to do this. I would fight on Friday, wake up and go to Mexico and fight on Saturday in Mexico. So what I got next coming up, I'm actually fighting for another title for Respect in the Cage, I'll be there trying to get another belt there, that'll be my forth one. So I'm just honestly busy man, if anybody offers a fight I'll take it."

I disagree with Herb Dean

There are not a lot of good refs in MMA

he’s just being nice… what is he supposed to do, throw his peers under the bus? that’d be interesting though, refs talking mad shit about each other leading to a fight between them.. I do believe dean has been in a handful or so pro fights

Mckee

Why can’t he just keep his mouth shut?

I hope he keeps talking and talks himself into a UFC contract so he can get smashed by somebody nowhere close to title contention….

Ok tough guy. I was so embarrassed when this guy was crying like a bitch. Maybe you should try not drinking beer and eating bad fast food in your trainning camp. Then, you wont get destroyed.

Jeez the guy crys a bit when he loses the chance to have the one thing that he has desired since he could walk and all of a sudden he is a crying bitch?

What have you done with your life that even remotely compares to what Arreola has managed to pull off on beer and hot dogs?

Keep firing Assholes!

Blackout is always right

I don’t give him respect because he didn’t take his training camp seriously. He was drinking, taking time off, eating awful. They showed it in the video package leading up to the fight. You didn’t see that? That’s incredibly disrespectful to his fans and eveybody involved.
