THE WEEK IN CHAEL
"Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck." - Chael Sonnen, talking to Joe Rogan after submitting Brian Stann at UFC 136. (UFC 136 telecast)
"Super Bowl weekend, the biggest rematch in the history of the business, I'm calling you out Silva, but we're upping the stakes." - Sonnen, before brandishing a brand new middleweight WAMMA belt.
"I beat you, you leave the division. You beat me, I will leave the UFC forever." - Sonnen. I love that there are people questioning whether Sonnen would really leave the UFC. Have you never watched pro wrestling? Loser-leaves-town stipulations NEVER stick.
"I do not like Anderson Silva. But I do not wish anything bad in life for him. I want to beat him, I want to do everything I can to him in the ring but I hope he has a great life." - Sonnen
NOTE: THE WEEK IN QUOTES IS SATIRE. MY TRIP TO LAS VEGAS IS NOT. ENJOY BLOODY BROOKHOUSE THIS WEEK.
NEVERENDING STORY
"It’s hard to say that it exists (a punishment by the UFC). Maybe so, maybe not, perhaps they’re keeping me on the sidelines, but I don’t believe that." - Lyoto Machida, on whether the UFC is holding out on him after asking for "Anderson Silva money." Meanwhile, back in Albuquerque... (Bloody Elbow)
"So in reality, he's kind of the one who's ducking the fight. I feel like he's ducking the fight." - Jon Jones. After tentative plans to fight Rashad Evans at UFC 140, Jones will instead fight the aforementioned Machida. (MMA Fighting)
"[Twenty-four] hours ago, my physician removed the pins. At that time, I learned that it would require another three weeks of rehabilitation before engaging in any exercise or training that would require the use of my hand." - Evans, who injured his hand in his victory over Tito Ortiz at UFC 133. (MMA Torch)
"We play a similar game. He kicks, I kick, he punches and goes to the ground, I can defend myself and take him down too." - Machida (Tatame)
WHITE NOISE
"He's actually quite pleasant on the phone. I can have a conversation with him forever on the phone now." - UFC President Dana White, on Brock Lesnar. The two anxiously await All My Children's move to the Online Network. (MMA Junkie)
"I always thought he was the biggest waste of talent and he really turned that around and I’m happy to see it." - White, on his cousin's Walt's friend, Jesse Pinkman. (5thRound.com)
"Nothing sucks worse than a draw, I hate it." - White (MMA Torch)
"I have to run my business so if I have to yank him over here then I'll do it." - White, on Gilbert Melendez. (MMA Nation)
"He's like the Arturo Gatti of MMA." - White, on Frankie Edgar. Do all the Arturo Gatti's of MMA receive power rings too? (MMA Mania)
"He's the number two pound-for-pound fighter in the world, period." - White, again on Frankie Edgar. Six straight title defenses just don't mean what they used to.
"I'm going to continue making moves that are stupid and will never work." - White (Houston Chronicle)
PARTING SHOTS
"I stay out of their beef, and I keep myself neutral to everything." - Melvin Guillard, a one-man Hamsterdam. (Sherdog)
"A lot of it is really there to put a pace on you, put pressure on you and really distract you from what is coming, which is a world-class double-leg takedown that nobody seems to be able to stop." - Brian Stann, on Chael Sonnen. (USA Today)
"If I go out and lay a turd..." - Joey Beltran, on his stool. (Heavy.com)
"I do really good on improv." - Jon Jones. Yes, and?

Is that dude in the back on a skateboard, or does he have “Blues Brothers Creepy Nun” powers?

The hamsterdam one got me good.
Also, am I the only person who thought Sonnens little WWE bit at the end of the fight felt a bit lame and forced

Yeah
I thought it was great, and I don’t even like Sonnen. I laughed when he did that cheesey ass arm line to Ariel too.
Read: Toblerone Jones
nope...i thought it was brillant.
He promoted a fight that doesn’t exist. And got the fan base to eat it up and it may have forced the ufcs hand if they weren’t already looking to make the fight. I love how he walked of afterwards without letting Rohan ask more questions. It may be right out of pro wrestling….doesn’t the rock say you absolutely suck….but it works for promoting mma just fine.

Dana gives the edge in his pound for pound rankings to the dude that needs it more promotionally

True. Chael would probably come back in a mask , calling himself the Republican Machine or something.

lol, it would be so cool to have a random kick ass fighter who wears a mask when he fights so that the public never knew who he truly was. I guess it’d never work though because elbows to the face would’nt cut him…and he’d probably pass out due to a heat stroke.
Anderson Silva, Edson Barboza, Jose Aldo, Charles Oliveira, Thiago Alves = Muay Thai wrecking machines!

Frankie being called Arturo Gatti
is a slight to Frankie in my opinion. I loved watching Gatti fight but he was NEVER the best fighter in any division he ever resided in nor did he ever reach the heights that Edgar has.
He's talking about his fighting style, not his status.

*by fighting style I mean heart, obviously their styles are very different.

I was gonna say the same thing
DFW should show his LW some more respect… like paying him the 2-3 mill guaranteed per fight Gatti used to make. Nevermind Gatti was fighting virtual nobodies.

For my fellow boxing fans
I thing Diego Corrales is a more apt comparison. The comeback he made against Castillo was epic and was probably his defining moment (as I believe the Maynard trilogy has been for Edgar).

It’s just the “forever” part that never sticks. If Sonnen does lose, I don’t expect to see him in a rematch with Demian Maia four months later.
