Before I start, let me first ask: Do you know who Chael Sonnen is? No? How about Anderson Silva? The second name probably rings a louder bell.
Let’s do a quick run-through of the first guy:
Chael Sonnen is the MMA fighter who beat the lights out of Brian Stann at UFC 136. Chael Sonnen is also credited to have the biggest mouth in UFC history. Finally, Chael Sonnen is the guy who told current Middle-Weight Champion, Anderson Silva, that “He Sucks” to his face during a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
But that’s not half of it. Here’s Sonnen’s full comment:
“Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck. Super Bowl weekend … the biggest rematch in the history of the sport. I’m calling you out, Silva, but we’re upping the stakes. I beat you, you leave the division. You beat me, I’ll leave the UFC forever.”
Take it easy there Macho Man.
Think he seems a bit bitter after his loss to Silva at UFC 117? And to be honest, he has a right to be. Despite his loudmouth mentality, Sonnen can actually back it up. In their first meeting, Sonnen absolutely dominated Silva before getting caught in a triangle choke late in the last round. But hey, $h!t happens—just ask Victor Ortiz—#TooSoon?

One thing you have to say about Sonnen is that he is if anything, a tremendous promoter. Toss an afro on his head and hand him a cigar and you'd have the white Don King of the UFC. I know that I will 100% be tuning in for that fight. With that said, I will also 100% be rooting for Anderson Silva to cut off his air supply for a second and final time.
Final Fraze
There is no denying that Sonnen’s rant will do wonders for this fight. And I’m sure that Dana White is literally kissing his feet right now for all the revenue Sonnen will generate. With that said, as I have grown up in a life surrounded by the martial arts, if there is one thing any good sensai or coach preaches, it is to respect your opponents—I guess Sonnen missed that lecture. It's great to be confident and a little trash talk never does any harm, but Chael, dude, who do you think you are—Vince McMahon? This is not the WWE “brotherrrr,” if it were, you surely would have gotten you’re @$$ DDT'ed threw a table by now, but who knows, at this rate, maybe you will. #FingersCrossed
What do you guys think, Will Chael Sonnen get his revenge on Anderson Silva or will he lose and be gone from the UFC forever?

To be fair, Chael did almost beat Anderson before, he won 4 rounds outta 5 but got choked out with like 3 minutes left. He was winning the fight, but a loss is a loss so he needs to suck it up. And when he called out silva I instantly thought about WWE i was like alright Chael take it easy! He will probably just get beat again and that will be that!
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope so haha. He's sucha tool. Still, that might be what the UFC needs, a straight up villian that everyone hates-- or is the the WWE? I get them confused now...
