ON PINK SHIRTED BRAZILIAN MIDDLEWEIGHTS
"I'd rather have Anderson who's big and tall and those long legs that I can come out and run over than Vitor." - Chael Sonnen, on who he'd rather fight for the UFC middleweight championship after securing his title shot with a dominating victory over Nate Marquardt at UFC 109. (AOL)
"That guy’s no more the top fighter out there than Bigfoot is roaming the woods." - Sonnen (Yahoo)
"This guy is no more real than the Loch Ness Monster. And if he needs me to expose him then I will." - Sonnen
"Look, [Anderson Silva's] not my kind of a guy. This is a grown man that’s got earrings. This is a grown man who wears his hat sideways. This is a guy who wears pink T-shirts. This guy wouldn’t make it 12 minutes in my neighborhood." - Sonnen
"I live in a nice neighborhood and we’d still run him out." - Sonnen, running with a rough posse in suburban Oregon.
"That is an absolute myth, and all these guys can buy into it, but there’s a young man out in Portland, Oregon, that is not signing up on that bandwagon." - Sonnen. That man is Greg "Dong" Oden. (MMA Weekly)
"If Anderson ever signed to fight me, which is highly unlikely, he’ll be getting a verbal beating like you’ve never seen." - Sonnen
ON DECENT HUMAN BEINGS IN THE FIGHT GAME
"I’m not holding back on Nate [Marquardt], necessarily; I haven’t been asked about him." - Sonnen. The professionals in the MMA media business didn't ask the relevant questions? Well, slap me silly and call me Sally.
"Secondly, there’s not a lot of ammunition there. Every now and then in this sport – and it’s every now and then; it’s extremely rare – but you’re going to come across a good guy." - Sonnen
"For every dirt bag in this business, you’re going to run into a Nate Marquardt or a Chael Sonnen or a Rich Franklin somewhere along the way." - Sonnen. One of these things is different. One of these things doesn't belong. (Hint: It's not Marquardt or Sonnen.)
"Two decent human beings have ended up getting paired together." - Sonnen
ON GERIATRICS
"Even though Mark Coleman is a bum, he wins fights." - Sonnen
"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." - Sonnen. Rumors swirled around Vegas that Coleman spent two months in the gym at Graceful Pastures Senior Living Center. (Pro MMA Radio)
"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." - Sonnen
"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!" - Sonnen
"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." - Sonnen
"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." - Sonnen
ON WINNING
"I'm feeling horrible right now, so I'll take anything to perk me up a little bit." - Sonnen, on being the number one contender.
"I got cut in the fight. I got knocked out in the fight. I got choked in the fight. It was a miserable 15 minutes." - Sonnen. That must have been the best 15 minutes of misery I've ever seen.
"I'm working on fighting things. I'm not spending my time on health or Anthony Robbins, screaming the word 'Yes!' over and over." - Sonnen. No one is safe.
"I never would have tapped [in the third round], but I was very close going to sleep." - Sonnen, who nearly pulled a Sonnen when Marquardt caught him in a guillotine late in round three.
WHITE NOISE
"Age is a factor with him." - UFC President Dana White, giving Mark Coleman's UFC career the Old Yeller treatment. (Cage Writer)
"On every [expletive] show, they're talking about Herschel Walker versus Jose Canseco. That's how [expletive] up ESPN is." - White, the last person in the world to recognize ESPN's awful choice of content. (Cage Writer)
"He’s single. He likes to go out and meet girls. He’s no different than anyone else." - White, addressing the Gonzo rumor of Chuck Liddell's alcoholism alleged by Tito Ortiz. (Las Vegas Sun)
PARTING SHOTS
"He’s caught everybody he’s fought with that stinking right hand of his at one point or another throughout the fight." - Frank Trigg, hours before getting caught by a Matt Serra overhand right. (MMA Weekly)
"Mark’s fighting style hasn’t changed in the thirteen years we’ve been doing this." - UFC legend Randy Couture, on Mark Coleman. (Fighters Only)
"It’s going to be like sex with a grizzly bear, you know, a lot of scratching and growling on both sides." - Don Frye, on Mark Coleman vs. Randy Couture. (Five Ounces of Pain)

Sonnen is just selling the fight for the Title against A. SIlva or Vitor.
Of course Strikeforce has good fighters but what he said was still funny.

who looked better after their fight with nate the great? who took one round to end him and who went to a decision? who is starting to sound like the second coming of lightning lee murray?
I think
He trains trash talking with Mur
"I will do nothing lightly. When I walk, I will walk heavily. When I fight, I will fight with conviction. When I speak, I will speak strongly. When I love, I will love with everything"
You have to admit Sonnen was fighting an improved Nate Marquardt. Especially one that trains with the likes of GSP.
Oh please . . .
Can we stop echoing the fact that Marquardt trains in Team Jackson with GSP and Evans. OBVIOUSLY Marquardt is not GSP, and obviously whatever he does in training that supposed to be really special did not translate in the actual fight.
Call me a hater or whatever, but I’m tired of hearing these tidbits repeated over and over by Rogan, Goldberg and many fans as if it really means anything in the actual fight. Sure training with elite athletes helps fine tune the athlete but that’s where it stops.
Where was the uber-popular Greg Jackson grandmaster game plan?
yeah yeah yeah . . .

So
Fighter A wins, is legitimate. Fighter B loses, is totally discredited.
Yeah, you’re the typical MMA fan.
Blackout612- "Wuts teh UFC?"
Ubernoober- "It like two guy who just stand and swing for fence and try to knock each other shit out it awesome"
Whoa . . . you're totally missing my point.
I’m not discrediting Marquardt. I’m just tired of hearing people echo the fact that Fighter A or B trains with GSP, so therefore he should be great.
Can’t take anything away from Marquardt, even after being dominated he still had his wits about him and nearly pulled off a comeback victory several times.
yeah yeah yeah . . .

What?
You isolated a singular portion of his point. That’s even worse. He said dude is improved. Do you really want to argue that?
Blackout612- "Wuts teh UFC?"
Ubernoober- "It like two guy who just stand and swing for fence and try to knock each other shit out it awesome"
1.Whether I like Jackson or GSP doesn’t really matter.
2. Yes, I’m a GSP fan and thinks his skills are above elite.
3. I like Greg Jackson as much as I like any coach in MMA . . . that is to say that I really don’t know too much about them. “Hit him with your groin” is the best advice ever during a fight. John Hackleman has a really great knowledge about boxing so he’s cool.
yeah yeah yeah . . .

Yea cause training with the likes of GSP ad Evans
does nothing for anyone right? pshhh
He’s not saying that. He is saying that it doesn’t automatically make you great…and it doesn’t mean that you automatically pick up those things that make the special fighters special.
It’s like…Buchholz trains with some beasts…but he doesn’t belong in the UFC. He may be made better by training with the guys he does…but it hasn’t made him the same level of fighter.
Greatness isn’t a virus that is passed between all members of a camp. That seems to be all Vee is saying…which I agree with 100%

My favorite Chael comment of the week:
At the end of the day if you want to get to the top of the card in the UFC, you’ve got to fight tough guys. If you want to be a fighter and get in the cage and be a big deal at your local strip club, go to Showtime. If you want to fight real guys, this is the place to do it.

I absolutely HATED Chael Sonnen after he made ridiculous comments about being near the top of the middleweight food chain after his disaster of a fight against Paulo Filho.
But I gotta say, in the last week he’s turned me into a huge fan.
I wanted to watch UFC 109 to see him get KTFO
…but walked out a fan.
Plus, he is running for a state seat in OR, which is even more admirable.

What about Chael's pre-fight Tweet?
Not bad for his only one.
Nate doesn’t have enough shiny trinkets or horse blankets to get into this POW WOW. He’s going to be known as, “Chief go home Lumpy.”
We live in a fickle world!
I am just waiting for the day Chael gets KTFO and everyone who is on his jock right now will quickly turn on him just like they turned on Nate.
Some of the things he is saying are so “borderline”…
Win or lose Chael Sonnen has just become really interesting.
Silva or Belfort will test that jaw or he will test theirs . . . we will see.

Didn't understand this one:

Sonnen’s been trolling all week, Marquardt’s been calling Dan Hardy a bum since that fight was announced. Just saying that they weren’t “decent people”. And being ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SERIOUS.

Yeah, is Mike saying that Franklin is a dirtbag? I think he’s getting his information from Franklin’s former math students.
Jesus Christ, he is saying that Nate and Rich are good guys and hat Chael lumping himself in with the two of them is not accurate.

Eh
The superior team, meaning the better collection of players, doesn’t always win a particular game. The team that plays better on a given day wins the game. See; upsets. You can argue this if you’re brave.

A game can occasionally be determined by luck, too. The better team on a given day doesn’t necessarily win.

Right
That’s the point I’m trying to make. Look at all of the mistakes the Vikings made and they were still right there. That’s not an excuse— by any means. Mistakes lose games (look at turnover differential, historically) and we deserved to lose— but more than the Saints deserved to win. I have friends down south that are huge Saints fans and one of them was like “yeah, we were very fortunate that you guys fucked up so hard so often”. It was that kind of game. But that’s the way it goes.

Bring the entirety of both teams on the field and have them charge each other with medieval battle axes, spears, etc. Last team left alive wins. Then I’ll be interested.
I can admire your passion for the Vikings
but the team that makes more mistakes deserves to lose. Effectiveness in sports is determined by quality of offense and defense; mistakes are detrimental to both.
The Saints scored more points. Therefore, on that night, the Saints were a better team. It doesn’t matter whether you think that there was a better collection of players on one team, the fact of the matter is that they lost.
For example, I go to Gonzaga U. We just lost to USF a bit ago, and they aren’t even ranked. Are Matt Bouldin, Steven Gray, Elias Harris, Robert Sacre, and Demetri Goodson a great collection of players? Yes. But they weren’t good enough to beat USF on that night, and that’s because they didn’t score as many points as them.
Simple as that. If I beat you, then I am superior to you.

Stupid
You’re arguing semantics. I said the Vikings are a better team and your paraphrasing a common saying (“they were the better team that night”).
The Vikings are a better team than the Saints. They’re also a better team than, say, the Buccaneers. You want to debate that too, being that they didn’t play in 09?
It’s pretty clear I’m not some bitter fan that’s demanding a crown for something my team did not win. Also, you should revise your interpretation of the word “unequivocally”, in addition to these other points.

Bah… It was a big mistake, but Childress put him in a bad position with his stupid miscommunication. And, again, we should have had it locked before then. I know— shoulda, woulda, coulda— that’s the way the cookie crumbles. They won that game and now they’re the champs. Can’t take that away from them.

Chael is doing a great job. I admire his ability to bring himself into contention with the fans and fighting.
He was on the verge of Yushinokamitis and then comes out with the 2010 early contender for shit talker of the year and beats the widely ranked #2 Middleweight in dominant fashion, Vitor or Anderson next, a win win for him in all aspects.
My favorite part about him possibly fighting Anderson:
“If Anderson ever signed to fight me, which is highly unlikely, he’ll be getting a verbal beating like you’ve never seen.” – Sonnen
Chael is seriously the MW Frank Mir.
Except he went in there and backed it up.

More Chael Goodness
Anderson is fantastic. He’s the champion of the world for a reason. I get that. I’m not delusional. I’d rather have Anderson who’s big and tall and those long legs that I can come out and run over than Vitor. It will be a verbal beatdown [before the fight]. Anderson Silva will be in tears before it’s all over
yeah yeah yeah . . .
I honestly can't wait for that.
It’s gonna be hilarious watching Chael run his mouth.
You have to be the man... you have to be very, like, alpha male with her. You know? Decide what you do and everything. So, show her who's the boss, you know? - GSP
This is gonna be awesome. I hope Anderson beats Vitor, cause Chael is gonna piss him off so bad. I need to see Anderson “sweep down with furious anger…and great vengeance” once before he retires. One of my favorite Chael moments was how he kept repeating how bad he felt and how awful a 15 minutes it was. I love that as compared to the shrug, and “naw, he dinged me a bit, but I felt fine the whole fight” b.s. most guys would come with in that moment.

I agree with this. I really liked that he admitted how bad he felt and how bad he got hurt instead of going the normal route of saying nothing hurts and he was never in danger.
Just BE.
It will be especially refreshing when all he has to say after an Anderson fight is...
“What happened? Where am I?”

Sonnen is like Dan Hardy
only American and Republican.
But just as delusional.
As it is, its been hard going for the last three years making any fight in the middleweight division meaningful or interesting. Chael is doing his best to make that happen . . .
I doubt that Sonnen will ever make a video as funny as Dan Hardy wrestling with his lucky singlet video

I'm just disappointed people are starting to like Chael.
Watching the internet rage itself into a stupor at everything he said was consistently enjoyable. At least I can still watch everyone get butthurt about Hardy and Lawal.
50% more Ultimate than the leading competitor.
me neither
But I do find him entertaining.
I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

Well played, sir. Well played.
