UFC On Fox 2: Chael Sonnen Does Interview With UFC Fake Belt, Calls Kenny Rice A Liar

Photo

Heading into his UFC on Fox 2 bout with Michael Bisping, Chael Sonnen is in his usual fine form. In a pair of video interviews he conducted to promote the show he went above and beyond with the antics.

First up, on his bizarre Highly Questionable appearance with host Dan LeBatard where he not only claimed to be the UFC middleweight champion but also appeared wearing a fake UFC belt he acquired somewhere. This isn't the first time Sonnen has claimed to be the UFC champ.

Then he follows that completely deranged performance with an interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani in which he goes off on Mark Cuban, HDNet, Inside MMA and especially Inside MMA co-host Kenny Rice. Sonnen's complaint about Rice? Simple, Sonnen says he's a liar.

That's pretty rich coming from a man who had to give up his real estate license and plead guilty to a federal felony for his role in a kickback scheme, who claims to be the UFC champ and whose bald-faced lies before the California State Athletic Commission were so egregious that he can't even get a license to fight in Nevada.

Both interviews are after the jump, enjoy.

Sigh.

Usually, I’m on board with Sonnen’s antics, but this totally rubs me the wrong way. Why confuse casual people on who the real champion is? Dana White and the UFC should have a rule that their fighters can’t wear fake UFC champion belts, especially not in front of the media or on TV.

Never thought I’d say this, but Jon Jones was right — UFC replica belts are inherently stupid.

if Chael has the belt and they’er confused that means they are thinking about it but just very dumb. If they are thinking about it that means they are going to watch to see what unfolds, if they watch they will get hooked, if they get hooked then they’ll go hardcore, if they are dumb and go core then they’ll buy fake belts and ask the fighters to sign it. When they ask Chael he will steal it and claim to have 2 UFC belts . So, it’s really just Chael planning out the rest of his career.

If he’s going to put something fake around his waist and go on television interviews, maybe he should go with a black belt. After all, you can get one from the Nog bros in a cracker jack box.

Interesting Post

True, it’s oddly easy to get a Black Belt nowadays. When I was a teenager, the guys in my Dojo that were set on achieving the Black Belt had to have a minimum of twelve years of tutelage on top of their training in order to apply for the test. Seldom did you hear of anyone under the age of 40 making it.
Today I see little kids walking around wearing them, it’s amusing.

I agree with you

and i dont really see why he seems he can do or say whatever he wants i just dont know how did he ask or get any approval for wearing this replica belt and continuously stating he is something that he is not .. I appreciate Sonnens style but sometimes i do think he goes too far

Fearless performance?

The guy tapped out. Surrendered. Obviously he feared being choked out or having his arm snapped.

I think Chael is a smart guy, and he’s better at promoting himself than most other fighters, but let’s be real here. There’s nothing brilliant about what Sonnen does. He’ll probably beat Bisping, and he could possibly beat Anderson, but I don’t think he will. Anderson is a champion, Sonnen likely won’t ever allow himself to be champion; even roided out, Chael couldn’t beat Anderson with a rib injury.

Many people will take this as irrational hate, but I really don’t hate Chael. I just think it’s important to be realistic about the guy. The hype exceeds his objective accomplishments and abilities.

Not debating the roids or rib, but it was a fearles performance

He tapped because he knew he got caught and would get choked out otherwise. Tapping != fear.

But any moron could see Chael was not afraid of Silva at all like many other fighters before him…

It's not a matter of fear.

Of course all fighters have fear, but they deal with it. Chael had the tools to give Anderson a tough fight, and he did just that. But again- without the raging testosterone, without Anderson’s nagging injuries… I think that’s a much different fight. And from all accounts, it seems to me that Anderson only does better in rematches, whereas Chael is pretty hit or miss in rematches.

Sure, Chael ‘avenged’ the Prangley loss and the Filho loss, but he also got thrashed by Jeremy Horn in both rematches.

we get it, you don't like Chael

And you go out of your way to naysay anything people say about him that doesn’t agree with your view.
You point out every excuse you can for why Chael beat Anderson for 4 1/2 rounds (which he definitely did) and act as if none of that mattered cuz he lost.
Im not saying those aren’t valid factors. But it seems that you cant just admit that style-wise Chael has what it takes to beat Anderson. I think Anderson will probably win the rematch.
Also pointing out old losses are irrelevant. Both fighters have progressed to where they are now. No one is talking shit about Ryo Chonan beating AS years ago, cuz it has nothing to do with the current MMA landscape like the fights you mentioned.

I'm going out on a limb

and predicting Mr. Matheny’s response. Something like:

“Chael continues to lose fights in the same manner he has lost fights for his entire career. He clearly has not “progressed” anywhere. Anderson, on the other hand, has attained the rank of Godhood, by stealing the souls of his opponents, and using them to increase his own powers. Pointing out Anderson’s previous losses is like pointing out that God made sinning possible. It’s not only ancient history, it’s irrelevent to what makes God awesome. When I finally finish my temple to the God Spider, and am blessed his Holy Venom, you will all understand the truth of my message. Until that time, I can only strive to spread the illumination of the God Spider’s love to the best of my abilities."

Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

You say I can’t admit that Chael could win? Well then you either have shit reading comprehension, or are dyslexic.

He’ll probably beat Bisping, and he could possibly beat Anderson, but I don’t think he will.

And you completely missed my point; I’m saying that Anderson historically has won every rematch in his career, whereas Chael is 50/50 in rematches. That has to do with their historical ability to perform in a rematch, and is absolutely a relevant statistic.

by RashadsLeftNipple on Jan 26, 2012 9:54 AM EST up reply actions  

Tapping absolutely stems from fear.

Fear of being choked unconscious or having a joint destructively torqued.

There’s no shame in having fear, it’s a basic human emotion. Fight, flight, or freeze- those are pretty much the 3 options we have when confronted with a problem, and any one of those options can be right or wrong at any given time. Chael definitely SHOULD’VE tapped, and it’s not a negative strike against him in any way, but you simply can’t say that someone who tapped, who surrendered, who said “I GIVE UP, FOR FEAR OF FURTHER BODILY HARM,” who submitted his will to fight, etc, was fearless.

I think there’s a lot of fear associated with tapping, but when you roll a lot, sometimes it’s a matter of casually accepting defeat and moving on to the next match/fight/roll in a matter of protection of self interest.

by castleeb on Jan 26, 2012 11:21 AM EST up reply actions  

There's a difference between rolling with your gym buddies

and actually fighting someone inside a cage. The only thing stopping someone from shredding your joints or choking you unconscious in a fight is their own self restraint. If you tap, you’re sending a plea for them to stop.

As you said- you tap out of self protection. But you wouldn’t tap unless your opponent had you in a position which you feared could lead to injury.

Fear is an intrinsic property of surrender.

I’m not exaggerating anything. Just saying that you wouldn’t tap out, unless something fearful and injurious was happening to make you tap.

I was actually half joking with the "u mad" thing

but:

1. The real estate thing has fuck all to do with MMA, and I just find it weird when people bring that up as a reason to abhor him being in the UFC and yet they give a pass to a guy who went on an energy drink-fueled vehicular rampage which literally endangered peoples’ lives. If someone’s criteria for liking MMA fighters includes a lack of criminal record, I’d like to see it applied across the board, and if it’s going to be applied due to a white collar crime, then it should be doubly applied when someone has actually endangered the lives of others.

2. Yeah he’s claiming to be the UFC champ. He’s not expecting anyone to actually fall for it. It’s a joke.

3. Chael may be going overboard in the typical Chael way with his words when he flat out calls Kenny Rice a LIAR, but you have to admit, Rice has demonstrated a lack of basic MMA knowledge routinely on Inside MMA and the overall production quality of it, along with all of HDNet’s shows is just above public access caliber. So there is a bit of truth to what he’s saying about Inside MMA, which is being exaggerated for effect.

4. Chael has been popped ONCE for a high T level and has since disclosed to the public that he is on TRT, just like MMA heroes Randy Couture and Dan Henderson as well as Nate Marquardt who was accepted back into the MMA fan world after getting popped his first time. I think it’s a ridiculous double standard to crucify Chael for it and then turn around and praise Hendo to the heavens.

1. The real estate thing might matter to you more if you lived in the state of Oregon which has one of the worst if not THE worst economy of any state in the country and its thanks to crooks and white collar crimes like good ol’ Chael’s what he did was a felony sure it has all fuck to do with MMA but he is helping to ruin lives and Rampage never did harm anyone so that is not a relevant argument.

2. thats not even a funny joke that is just stupid and the poor souls who watch that awful fucking show are probably just stupid enough to believe he is the champion.

3. Who gives a shit? does anyone actually watch inside MMA? apparently Chael does time could be well spent learning some sub defense.

4. Sure he only got popped ONCE but as kid pointed out the NSAC hearing was such a debacle it was laughable.

5. Since when did Nate get welcomed back has he even fought since he got popped? no didn’t think so.

acknowledging there was a victim is a far cry from ol’s nickrodamus who says chael is ruining lives. The next time someone says that Chael is ruining people lives or ripping people off I wish they could provide me with the details of who’s life was ruined. I assume the loan was defaulted on but I haven’t seen that confirmed. Chael made a dumb move and put his license and reputation on the line helping a buyer and seller sneak one by the lender but I dont think anyone should conclude that was his normal way of doing business.

I like Inside MMA. I like the fact that it does not look and feel like ESPN or Fox doing the same show that they do for every other sport. Big swooshing graphics for no reason. Token female reporter that knows almost nothing about what s he is talking about.
The shows they do look good too. The only one you could complain about is the Titan shows that seem to have the worst lighting ever.

Both pretty entertaining interviews! I think I liked the one with Ariel better (as he’s not a complete jackass). Pretty funny how he kept going after Kenny Rice for no apparent reason, haha. I know Rice isn’t the most beloved amongst MMA fans, I’m not a huge fan either, but I watch Inside MMA every week and I don’t really get what he’s referring to about calling him a liar and stuff like that. I hope they invite him to come on the show some time soon anyway.

that was one awesome zombie takedown

I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.

you shouldn’t be shocked. Dana’s hissy fit was nothing in the grand scheme of things.

TKO to Terry Martin count?

It was a corner stoppage but it still kinda counts to me.

Either way Bisping isnt exactly known for his stopping power so i dont see this fight ending that way, If Bisping wins it will be by decision or sub.

BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.

God I can't wait to see Sonnen Silva 2. I really hope he beats Bisbing.

I saw Sonnen Silva 1 live and it was the most exciting fight I’ve ever seen. I was screaming my head off.

by J_Maddux on Jan 26, 2012 12:39 AM EST reply actions  

yup

You and me both. It’s still to this day my greatest in person MMA experience, with the entirety of the UFC 132 card coming in at a close second.

I wasn't complaining

if you’re referring to me. I enjoyed Hendo/Shogun.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 26, 2012 2:00 AM EST up reply actions  

i remember being absolutely convinced that Dan would finish Shogun in the third.

Then i just sat there with my head in my hands thinking “what the fuck?!?!?” for the last 10 minutes

Shogun might have the best chin after Cabbage. He atleast ate 3 H bombs from what I recall.

It was fucking nutty dude

I could not believe he survived and proceeded to rock the shit out of Dan multiple times himself

I decided I was going to save money to see GSP vs Diaz at 143 instead, after I had already paid a crazy amount to see them the first time at 137

Chael gets angry

when interviewers ask him repetitive or redundant questions. I would too.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 26, 2012 12:40 AM EST reply actions  

Yeah cause people try to dissect his obvious BS, his schtick and it’s like trying to find faults in a comics logic. It’s stupid, they just need to keep asking questions.

by J_Maddux on Jan 26, 2012 12:44 AM EST up reply actions  

Maybe they should youtube him before they interview him

so they know what the fuck is up. They act shocked when Chael does his Chael, wtf were you expecting people?

They should just move on to newer topics.

Even Forrest Griffin is getting annoyed with all the mentions of his loss to Anderson. It gets boring.
Everytime I watch a Chael interview Anderson has to be mentioned at least once.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 26, 2012 12:51 AM EST up reply actions  

That's because the interviews ask him about Anderson.

I don’t doubt that he has brought up Anderson but only when it’s something new i.e not wanting to fight him anymore. Other than that, Chael never initiates the Anderson subject.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 26, 2012 1:55 AM EST up reply actions  

“The Anderson Subject” sounds like a bad sci-fi thriller.

by PlutoCps on Jan 26, 2012 10:53 AM EST up reply actions  

I would think the most annoying

would be the constant mentioning of Anderson Silva. Sure, it’s his greatest victory but how much is there to say about it? He’s said it all, time to move on.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 26, 2012 12:48 AM EST up reply actions  

What victory?

He tapped and even if he hypothetically didnt he still would have got DQ’d and stripped after being popped for roids lol

and the rest of the interview is godawful.

Pro wrestlers wish they had Chael's skillz

Also, I still can’t believe Dan Lebatard and his dad talk about stuff is an actual show.
