Chael Sonnen Fan Believes Chael Sonnen Punished Unfairly

Who is this woman?

At the end of Wednesday's CSAC hearing for Chael Sonnen, Marika Taylor stood up and let her voice be heard. She would not stand for the abuse of power she witnessed. She "pointed out evidence" and "recorded everything." This aggression would not stand!

Following the hearing, she went on a rampage on her Twitter account, promising: "I will show just how dangerous and flawed the commission is and I will have it dismantled." 

Ms. Taylor then went on Mauro Ranallo's show (transcript provided by Fight Opinion) where she called out Josh Gross, a man she "once considered a friend." Gross's mistake? Texting Keith Kizer during the December 2 hearing. 

She continued, "Six weeks ago, six weeks ago I believe it was, whenever it was, he was done! ... Well, Kizer makes one phone call to the California commission and because of him, all of a sudden, they not only just change their mind but just arbitrarily brand new decision decide with anyone inquiry, without anything at all whatsoever, they just decide that Chael is now indefinitely suspended."

So, who is Marika Taylor anyway?

Well, she hosts a show called Outside the Ring, which is described as "documentary style stories about the most exciting MMA fighters in the world." The latest (and only) post on the OTR Facebook page announces that Ms. Taylor has pitched the show into the hands of John Skipper, who is the "head of all Content" at ESPN. So that's nice.

Ms. Taylor's Twitter account reveals some interesting details. Prior to Wednesday, she tweeted sparingly since March 2. The account had remained dormant going all the way back to August 7. Does that date sound familiar to you?

Here are a couple of choice tweets from that night (emphasis mine):

-At ufc 117 second row from the cage on the floor... Pay per view starts now!
-Predictions;) sonnen, fitch, guida,almeida, dos santos
-Main event about to start..cmon chael! This ones for u!
-Chael and his peeps are waving anderson in..

Hm.

[Update] From MarikaTaylor.com (emphasis again mine):

Marika has guest hosted on Sirius/XM radio "Fight Club" and Blackbelt Magazine online and recently helped her friend, #1 UFC Middleweight Contender, Chael Sonnen get the COVER of the December 2010 issue of Black Belt Magazine.

Weird.

The money laundering case should not have even been discussed in that hearing. Sonnen misspoke when discussing Kizer, and that’s the only thing that should have meant anything to the commission.

by Rob Young on May 20, 2011 4:19 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Pattern of behavior

The question is, when Chael “misspoke” was it an honest mistake or was he deliberately playing fast and loose with the rules? When considering his testimony, it is absolutely relevant to bring up another case in which Chael admitted to playing fast and loose with the law even at the risk of jail time.

Never approach a vast undertaking with a half-vast plan.

by szquirrel on May 20, 2011 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep, his whole case for getting his suspension cut in half was based on this “misspeaking” so of course they are going to look at times when he possibly “misspoke”, lied, broke federal laws or blamed things on a Mexican doppelganger in the past to come to a decision now.

This is her description of MMA
Mixed martial arts is a recently reinvented hybrid sport whose origins date back to a hand-to-hand combat sport called Pankration meaning "all powers", that was introduced in the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC.


Mixed martial arts as we know it today emerged out of underground fight clubs in the early nineties. The sport is made up of every traditional form of hand-to-hand combat from around the world that competes in the Olympic games.


Today, in order to survive longer than two seconds in a fight, mixed martial arts fighters must excel in all forms of hand-to-hand combat including wrestling, brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, kick boxing and traditional boxing.


In the last fifteen years, thanks to a fight promotion called the UFC, and a kick-boxing turned MMA promotion; Strike Force, MMA has become highly regulated and has developed into the fastest growing, government sanctioned, combat sport that reaches the most sought after demographic: 18-34 year males.

That’s a relief.. but I’d be surprised if the CSAC, or any other commission that bows down to MMA’s most powerful man (ie. Kizer), grant a fight licence before he knees down and publicly appologizes to the great and almighty Kizer for naming him at the CSAC hearing.

If you lie to a commission in order to get your suspension reduced and you immediately get caught in your lie and they take call your ass back in and light you up for your lie then the only person you can blame is yourself.

If Sonnen had just accepted the suspension instead of “misspeaking” his story to try and get out of this then he would be off his one year suspension September 2, 2011 free and clear and none of this would of been an issue. Everyone is having a big stroke here acting like poor Sonnen did his time and is getting screwed but if his ass can apply for a license in June of 2011 then he is still not doing the full one year suspension he originally received for this. In the end after all of this he still may get off easier than what the punishment for steroids actually is.

If you think BE is bad you need to check out Sherdog, the ug or even god forbid Bleacher Report. I think that most people on this contribute meaningfully to the site… 90% of the time. The other 10% of our content may be our various attempts at humour or other off topic conversation. It doesn’t mean I’m an asshole that doesn’t know what a blog is.
I completely agree with you that I appreciate that BE puts out more posts then other sites and is further supported by great user created comment. However, if you post a story about a crazy person on a friday before a long weekend I might make a less then completely relevant serious comment about it. Especially, since most of us had already discussed at length our positions and opinions about Sonnen’s failed CSAC hearing.

If you are offended by what I said, then you fall in that group of people. Whining about a story is not an attempt at humor. If you say “slow news day”, and you’re joking, that is totally fine, my post is not about you. But every day for the past fucking month, there has been some whiny idiot complaining because BE can’t create headline news, so they make a blog post to discuss.

For the record, my post was not targeting you. You DID make a humorous post (but it’s really clear that, while doing it, you are whining), and for that, you’re fine. Have you got a guilty conscience?

I don’t think anything “funny” is going on.

This woman stood up at the hearing to say her piece, then went to Twitter to go on a long, near-deranged rant about the commission’s behavior. She also went on Mauro Ranallo’s show to continue said rant, and then tried to drag Josh Gross through the mud as well.

I went through her Twitter and found out she is, at the very least, a moderate Chael Sonnen fan. Judging by the tone of her Tweets, I suspect she has a personal relationship (note: I’m not insinuating a romantic relationship) with him.

Does the CSAC have a reputation for incompetency? Yes. Has this entire Sonnen saga been a circus? Yes (and I said as much back in December).

Her language, however, borders on lunacy. Did you read this part? “I will show just how dangerous and flawed the commission is and I will have it dismantled.” This is, to put it mildly, an overreaction.

The whole post was an irreverent look at Ms. Taylor and her “crusade for justice.” This isn’t fucking Woodward, Bernstein, and the Watergate break-in.

You’re right about one thing, this ain’t Watergate.

Hell, it ain’t even Colgate.

And that’s because you commit the #1 crime of the good reporter; you totally miss the story!

The girl is the sidepiece. The story is Keith Kizer and his role in the decision. Period.

So as a good journalist, instead of throwing a little hissy fit that this newcomer has snagged a huge cache of publicity and attention and probably a 100 fold more followers than you on twitter, you should actually be grilling the commission to find out exactly what are the guidelines for implementing a suspension or revocation of a fighters license. And if you find out that each member is supposed to have an equal vote, then her claims that one person unduly influenced the decision against Sonnen ought to be respected, instead of a scornful ‘crusade for justice’.

Then you’d really have a story.

and actually earn your spot on the front page.

And then maybe you’d finally know what it feels lik,e to be fucking Bernstein.

I’m not too worried about this woman snagging publicity.

I already know why the commission reimposed a suspension on Chael Sonnen because it has been discussed ad nauseam. Sonnen (whether through “misspeaking” or outright lying) made comments about a conversation he had with Keith Kizer regarding TRT use. Kizer denied that conversation. Kizer also denied ever having approved TRT use for Chael, though Chael’s use goes back to 2008.

The commission also reopened the case due to Sonnen’s guilty plea to a felony charge in the state of Oregon.

In any case, there was never any intention on this being some significant piece of “journalism.” So…chill out.

She is alledging that the decision against Sonnen was unduly influenced by one person.

That’s the issue. And knowing full well some of Keith Kizer’s public comments about Sonnen, why does that seem so difficult to believe?

Your like or dislike of Sonnen should in now way interfere with your interest in seeing a man judged fairly.

Revocation of a fighters license should be the final, absolute most harsh penalty. And if violent criminals on death row can get multiple hearings, why can’t a fighter appeal a decision that would cost him his livlihood?

He would have even more justification if he also felt that one person, unduly influenced what should be by law, a majority decision.

So, she has an agenda, so, she looks hot, so, she’s an MMA Newbie, maybe she’s just in it for the publicity. Maybe she’s a plant by the Diabolical Master Sonnen.

So what??!? Her points are all still solid.

But if you insist on focusing only on how she looks, in that shiny dress, then it would be my opinion that she has not just one, but two lovely points of light.

What people have done/do = insights into what kind of person they are, what biases they have.

If you don’t see how what show she hosted is related, then well …

ok grasshoppa

I see you and Fagan both went to the same school of thought.

Our Lady of What’s Your Point?

So Sonnnen fudged things a bit on a financial transaction and he took PED’s.

STOP THE PRESS!!

Seems like she just wants some attention and realizes Chael is a good horse to ride for a bit.

I wouldn't mind seeing her naked.
