Chael Sonnen's wheel of trash-talk lands on Mark Coleman this week:
"Even though Mark Coleman is a bum, he wins fights. Who’s Mark Coleman’s coach? Who is Mark Coleman’s training partner? What is the name of the gym that he trains at? And don’t tell me the Hammer House. I want to know an actual building, an actual piece of real estate with a sign on it. Where does he train? Everybody has a coach. Tiger Woods has a coach. Michael Jordan had a coach. Mayweather has a coach. Mark Coleman does not have a coach. Everybody has a team. Everybody has a team backing them. Tiger Woods has a team. Kobe has a team. All the greats have a team of any sport. He doesn’t have a team! He’s his own coach, he’s his own team. He doesn’t even have a gym he belongs to. That’s just silly. How you could be in this for this long and be a one man show.
On one hand (it) is remarkable. On one hand, maybe I’m looking at it wrong. Maybe I need to compliment him a little bit, but it’s just silly. That’s not what a dedicated guy does."

I was under the impression Coleman was training with Tompkins now?

It's like MMA is a giant message board and he's constantly trying to think of different ways to troll it.

I blog about stuff too.
It may be my contrarian nature, but I’m becoming a bigger Chael Sonnen fan just about every day. He’s like a conservative Nick Diaz.

Chael’s trash talk is fine with me when the subject is someone he might actually fight, but being a dick to Coleman has no real point to it. They won’t ever fight, he’s just trashing a legend of the sport for no real purpose other than cheap heat.
Here’s to Chael getting wrecked by Marquardt and having to post another video blog about his undying loyalty to Zuffa so that they don’t cut him.

Randy used to be a figure at Team Quest
where Chael trains. It’s camp loyalty, hence why he attacks the camp, or lack thereof, of Coleman.

Funny Chael....
Coleman has accomplished way more being a “one man show” than you have accomplished with your “team” pushing you along…

I really don’t know about that ? Chaels wins seem to be a bit better in name value then then Colemans.
Coleman didn’t break Shogun’s arm. Shogun was falling, posted his arm and it broke. To claim he has a win over Shogun while technically true, is very very misleading

It wasn’t a reply to you but a reply to the thread, I guess I should have been more clear

neither is decisioning Paulo Filho while he has Max Payne hallucinations
It’s a funny thing to wish nobody watched that (the Mark Wahlberg movie version)… but also hoping you’ll get the reference. I’ve mocked it up here, so that you don’t have to watch either one of the worst movies of all time or one of the worst fights of all time:

I'm not defending Chael here, but...
Don’t take away his win because Paulo has decided to waste his life on drugs/insanity/whatever.
It would be no different than if Paulo had simply not shown up to fight due to lack of training, etc…and Chael did show up to fight.
Regardless, Chael needs to keep his mouth shut, his attempts to kiss ass to MMA powers, be it Zuffa or Randy, etc…are pretty transparent and sad.
I sincerely hope this wasn’t a Limp Bizkit reference.

Dude is a really good trash talker cause he just says things as facts…there’s just a straight forward THIS IS HOW HE’S STUPID way to him. I like Chael.

I like when he gives quotes like this...
…as opposed to when he’s relatively reasonable because this way I CAN CONTINUE TO HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.

Why hate him. He’s been called the fastest white man ever.

If he runs into Mark Coleman any time soon, that could become reality.

I used to be a fan of Chael’s, but this kind of shit is causing me to lose respect for him.
certified warlord
total opposite for me,this kind of shit actually makes me pay more attention to him. He plays the role of the heel just great.
It’s one thing to start shit with someone you are fighting or at least have a chance of fighting one day, to talk trash on a guy who fights in a higher weight class and is a UFC hall of famer is just a cheap way of trying to get attention, nothing more.

This was nothing compared to what he said in that interview about Marquardt, Andersen Silva, Dan Henderson, Greco Roman wrestling, and the “real reason” Maia was able to sub him.
Do you have a link to this stuff? Mainly the Hendo and Greco part?

talking shit about legends such as Coleman and Silva is absolutely criminal…Nate, please take care of this muppet
After Nate beats him, he should tell him that he's flagged for fighter bashing.

Please MMA gods, PLEASE...........
let Marquardt kick this guys ass for three rounds. I wanna see a Penn/Diego type beat down. Please Nate shut this douche bag up!
Straight out of west linn
I would hate him, but he’s basically from Portland, and the /b/tard in me loves a good troll, so I guess I’m a fan.
And another thing.....
Who is he calling a bum? This is a guy who couldn’t finish a bat shit crazy Paulo Filho! Plus what the hell as he ever really won? Coleman is a UFC Champ, a Pride Grand Prix Champ and a over all game changer in MMA’s history. Now I’m not being a nut hugger here but please, before you sart trash talking everyone else mabye you should build a name for yourself……IMO
No kidding. Not to mention Coleman can kick his ass. Chael is what turns people away from MMA. Boring ass style, and loud mouth that can back up what he says. UFC needs to cut him.
Why, you got someone else you’d rather see take a beating? Come on now, Chael’s a good fighter with a big mouth. Perfect foil for Marquardt.

Not a coleman fan here...
but Sonnen is a total D-Bag. If you arent exciting or good enough to have people talking about you, you might as well act like White Tito
by SilverNBlackZach! on Feb 3, 2010 12:53 PM EST reply actions
I don't know why he is getting press every time he opens his mouth
But thanks for posting that picture. He looks pretty good with his arm tweaked and grimacing in pain.
i dislike nate marquardt,
but now i’m really looking forward to seeing him smash sonnen’s face when they fight
I'm OK with Nate
But Chael bashing the champion of his own division is “alright” but he’s not fighting Coleman, Coleman like alot of ppl have said, Coleman is a legend of the biz, Chael has done nothing for the sport and he’s just trying to gain attention…..and its working because we’re all talking about it
I love trolls...
Maybe that is why I get excited everytime I see a headline with Chael’s name in it. I know that it will be an entertaining story/quote with a TON of post’s of ppl saying how much they hate him… He is a brilliant marketer. Nobody would know who he was or talk about him at all if it wasn’t for his “trash talking”… You go Chael!
