UFC 109 Preview: Chael Sonnen Says "It's Just the Truth, I Haven't Said Anything Controversial"

How, in the name of all that is holy, did CHAEL SONNEN become the big story of UFC 109

by verloc on Feb 3, 2010 10:10 PM EST reply actions 1 recs

he is sure becoming it, it’s smart, but he’s making fans that love to hate him.

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!

by mrnice on Feb 4, 2010 1:54 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

They would know who he was and talk about him without the trash talking if he were just a better and more entertaining fighter…

Not taking anything away from his win over Okami, cause that was a great performance, but right now it’s an outlier.

He’s just trollin…him and Diaz would be an amazing combo.

If I’m an interviewer I’m skipping Diego, Carwin, and Nate Marquardt…I’d rather have soundbites from Koscheck, Nick Diaz, Chael Sonnen, and Frank Mir. Those guys just know how to generate heat.

I don’t think the Diaz brothers put on an act, though. I really think that’s just how they behave. Everyone else has different levels of heel-heat, but Nick & Nate will always back it up & fight. Why else would he have fought Joe Riggs in the hospital?

And why would you pass up Diego Sanchez? He’s great for a wacky soundbite.

As a professional wrestling fan, what Sonnen did was generate “cheap heat” or “X-Pac heat” with you. Attacking Coleman for no real reason and saying nonsensical things can do that. I am more than aware of what he is doing, so I personally don’t care. I never really cared for Sonnen to begin with, but he is a good Middleweight, yet I am pretty indifferent to Sonnen.

The whole week I was like, “Wow, is this guy really just a dick?”

After watching the video I’m realizing he’s just really sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor. I bet he really is just a nice guy, but it’s the tone of his voice along with the way it sounds that really makes him come off as a dick.

If he could just refine his delivery of sarcasm and his dry jokes then I think people will come around to him (think Forrest and Amir).

…I agree with you. A week ago, I would have said I liked the guy. After reading some of the stuff he said yesterday, I hated him. But I thought he was pretty funny in the interview (The whole bit about not wanting to finish fights so he can be on TV as long as possible was great.).

I probably wouldn’t feel that way if he pulled out the “I’m a republican” stuff again, but I can imagine him being an alright guy overall.

Starting to love Sonnen

He is so great at riling everyone up. He gets half the people pissed, and the other half are so “indifferent” (i.e. pissed) to what he is doing, that they have to come post and tell us how indifferent they are.

I’m really looking forward to this fight. Sonnen’s standup is improving, as he showed in the Okami fight, and his wrestling is tops in the division (2x National Champ, Olympic Alternate). Of course his biggest weakness is his submission defense, and while Marquardt hasn’t been subbing anyone lately, we all know he has the Jiu Jitsu chops to do so.

I see Marquardt having the edge on the feet, with Sonnen having a big edge in wrestling, so he will probably force the takedown as soon as the standup isn’t going his way. Then we will see if he can hold Nate down and do some damage, or if Nate can sub him off his back, or scramble to get the fight back to where he wants. Honestly, it should be a really good fight. That, or Nate will blast him in the face and knock him out like he’s been doing to everyone lately.

Biggest card of the year?

Sure it’s the SuperBowl weekend but Abu Dhabi and Montreal are much bigger. Then, what about Brock’s come back?

Historically Superbowl is the #2 right behind the NYE show.

could one mean PPV, other live attendance, some one can chime in on gate, another on bout count, etc.

I’m loving this thread! War Chael’s mouth!

Chael is awesome.

I’m rooting for him. While a Nate vs Anderson rematch would be fun, I think I’d get more enjoyment out of the build-up to a Chael vs Anderson fight.

3 month of shit talking for a 1 round one sided beating, been there, done that, seriously, no thanks.

Sonnen is awesome.

I was already rooting for him simply because I’ve never liked Nate, but this new uberdick persona he’s rocking is hilarious. He’s going to talk his way right into a shitle tot if he manages to get past Marquart.

The one thing I’ve never really understood about MMA fans is the way that they seem to give Nate a pass. The guy has the same ratio of growth as UBEREEM and is a proven steroid user, but nobody ever brings that up or holds it against him. What’s the deal with that?

This has to be, by a wide margain, the most attention Chael Sonnen has ever gotten in his entire life

So frankly, I applaud him for figuring out exactly what it takes to get noticed in MMA, sans absurd physical gifts and talent. The sport is filled with respectful, nice guys. Nobody cares about them. We now care about Chael Sonnen. That’s truly a remarkable thing if you think about it. Chael’s cracked the code. Keep doing your thing, Chael. Hate on, Hater. Hate on.

Who did he beat?

Sparring partners with short memory . . . Josh Koscheck & Chael Sonnen

Koscheck calls out Dan Hardy, “Who did he beat?”
Answer: AKA fighter Mike Swick

Sonnen calls out Anderson Silva, “Who did he beat?”
Answer: Team Quest co-owner Dan Henderson

yeah yeah yeah . . .

by VeeisAnimated on Feb 4, 2010 3:26 AM EST reply actions 0 recs

But Dan hasn’t trained with the Oregon crew in years.

by Steve4192 on Feb 4, 2010 6:03 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Doesn’t matter, he basically discredited Dan Henderson.

yeah yeah yeah . . .

Shit talk

Is he doing anything that any other fighter who runs his mouth hasn’t done already? Chael Sonnen is just talking shit, and might be delusional enough to believe what he says is true.
