I'm starting to like Chael Sonnen

Is there something I can take for that?

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Peta uses so many aggressive and violent tactics, they are a horrible group

I hear you. What can I say? The MMA world is far more interesting with Chael. He’s rubbed me wrong a lot of times, but he did a great job, and props to him and to Kenny as well for asking and answering some solid questioning. Kenny is simply not going to become a good enough wrestler to hang with Gray though. Better to work on his guard.

What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

Agreed. Sonnen is very very good here. Why oh why do they ever put Franklin McNeil on this show when they can use Sonnen or Miletich???

Yeah i never used to care about him either

now i’m starting to like him as a analyst, very educated and comfortable in front of the camera. he seems made for a it, i would like to see him more or even after hes done fighting.

Yeah all you guys are late to board the Sonnen train...

I was kind of on it after the Okami fight but all the way on board after the Marquardt domination.

If they made it Mir, Chael, and Rashad, I might actually watch this regularly. Bonnar is also good, if only because I enjoy his ridiculous voice.

Chael does good here

even though I can’t stand his arrogance. He still comes off like he thinks he’s the shit. I do like how he wasn’t afraid to call Florian out. That was really good TV. I like how they didn’t sugar coat anything. Chael could be really good at this. He’s almost as good as Bonner. (insert laugh here)

Shut up, Tito.

Best MMA Live ever

Kenny talking about his loss 5 days later, Chael calling him out about it, and quoting Dana White’s “choke” comment???? WOW.

I also see that “Get your pets spayed or neutered” has become “Don’t text and drive.”

I want Kim Winslow or Tan Dan to ref Tito Ortiz' next loss.

MMA Live needs to book Chael every week, he’s made for that and you can bet after he’s done that he’ll have another career breaking down mma fights.

That was by far the best episode i’ve seen of the show and that was mostly because of Chael he called out Kenny like he needed to be. He did a great job hyping up his rematch in just a couple of soundbites and overall he seemed comfortable and relaxed unlike alot of guys they bring on there.

I'm marking this down.

You just said something positive.

Sort of.

Chaels had a great line in there too

He said all great fighters lose because they face the best competetion and dont pick and choose fights they know they can win. That really struck me as a insightful look at great fighters because its true.

GSP had his two loses and he learned from them and improved from both. Penn normally learns or improves from his losses. Randy Couture keeps winning losing and coming back better in the end. Big Nog in his younger days always avenged his losses (or tried to).
