Chael Sonnen is a Genius

heh good interview.

All that talk about how he doesn't train mentally and what not will definitely be his downfall. The guy isn't even a good fighter, he's a good wrestler. I can't wait to see him get his head knocked square off his shoulders so we won't need to hear him speak anymore.

Wow @ "The guys in the back know who the tough guy is. If Anderson says put on hip hop and Chael says put on country I guarantee it'll be a hoedown."

 

What a *********.

"Vitor's the better fighter .. Vitor's never lost a fight that was standup .. ever." That's when I started uncontrollably laughing.

Hes just trying to talk his way into a title shot. He knows he doesn't have the most exciting style and he saw how Henderson was screwed over by the UFC. I'm guessing he thinks if he can work up a rivalry between him an anderson they'll give him a shot.

 

Makes him come across as a complete idiot though.

He's already getting the title shot, so now he's just acting like a complete ****** bag.

It's good tactics for Sonnen to talk **** like that about Anderson and Vitor - berate them into taking the fight (whoever wins).

 

I want to see Sonnen fight Silva. It'll be a good fight. Look at Henderson (round one) vs Silva - he caused problems for Silva just pushing hard at him. Sonnen just pushes forward like a machine.

I actually hated this guy not so long ago but the more i read the more i?m convinced that he?s really smart.

He knows exactly what to say and what to do. And some stupid things he says about gaurd and republican is just attention. The talk about Silva too, He?s tryin to get in their heads.

 

I don?t really like him but he definetly deserved my respect. far from a dummy.

sonnen will get his title shot and deserves it. He says this stuff just to get his name out there, he is actually a really intelligent person. If he fights silva for the title it will be a good fight, because he will do what most would not, try to take silva down to the ground and pound it out, much like he did to the fanboys' favorite, Nate Marquardt.

 

Fanboys need to get over it, he won, and won convincingly. He made Nate look like he has no clue what to do on the ground, and i think he could impose his will similarly to Silva as well. As far as the top 3 or 4 in MW, i really think that Sonnen poses the biggest threat, because hes not gonna try to stand and trade punches with silva. Cuz we have seen MANY MANY times what happens to people who try to outstrike silva.

Funny you say that, seeing how Chael did very well in the stand-up. Hmmm..... But yeah, I definitely like his style.

completely agree mate.

 

if sonnen wants the title he needs to sort his submission defence out, i meen he gave nate both those chokes and if he gives anderson any submission hes gone. fight over.

I would 2nd this in a heartbeat, he's a lay and pray lol sheesh and his GnP wasnt even that good lol , I was truly staggard that Nate was so winded, but , thats what happens when you look past someone, but I cant wait to see the spider rip sonnen's head off lol , it will be shades of the forrest fight, hands down.

I doubt his talking will affect Vitor or Silva, they are both very mentally strong. I also see a submission in his future if he fights Silva (see Lutter, Hendo) but I don't know if he fights Belfort, I don't think Belfort has that same danger from his back that Anderson has.

 

As much as I hate Sonnen I was impressed with his performance.

That's going to be his problem with Silva for sure. We all focus on his striking so much you kinda forget he is a BJJ black belt that regularly rolls with the Nogs and has proven that unlike Nat, SIlva is dangerous from his back.

 

I agree Sonnen has a shot at Silva just because he is a guy that sticks to his game plan. He will not get sucked into standing in front of Silva ala Forrest.

Vitors losses all seem to be by veteran wrestlers so i think chael would have a good chance im little dissapointed by Nates performance

 

i knew the takedowns were coming but i thought Natre would catch him coming in for a tkedown down

 

o well that is what i love about MMA always unpredictaable

wow is this guy joking? "his 15 min of fame are up", watever anderson has destroyed every top contender and hes going beat vitor. his stand up is just as great if not better, and andersons bjj is world class, he sub lutter and hendo and i hope he fights sonnen, sonnen has no ko power check his fight history and he just likes to lay and do alittle gnp and when he pops his arm out to do sum gnp he will get subbed! anderson is the greatest!
