It's quite funny how guys think that Chael is being serious about how bad Machida is. He's taking the piss in a few interviews to create the exact reactions that you guys are making so that it creates hype/interest with the fans and Dana will put it on. The UFC is a 'business' just like any other and Sonnen knows exactly how to play the game and make the dough. He's a legend.
I am a Sonnen fan....I am not a Machida fan....but Machida is a tune up fight for no one. Sonnen called this one. He said Leben would knock him out. I agreed with him there. Leben has a great chin; Wanderlei doesn't any more.
@kingfester yeah, but he only fought fighters who were cut from the ufc, only one fighter has turned down a ufc contract, and that is dan henderson,and he is going to fight fedor in 4 days, that should answer some questions
@marlon there are only 2 UFC champions out of brazil currently and 5 from outside... not sure what you basing your comments off of but the reality is most of the best fighters are not from brazil. Most of the time the best athletes and fighters are wrestlers and most of them do not come from brazil. I don't have anything against Brazilians but I do hate when people make ignorant comments.
@kingfester I know, thats why i think dan henderson would be a legit ufc victory for fedor, but all the other ufc guys he beat couldnt make their salt in the ufc.
@gspsucks he fought last year, and just recently. he's now had 4 fights since the Jardine fight, and lost 3 of them. Just so you know, there's a website called "Wikipedia" that has a lot of this information so you can stop being wrong.
@greyfoxau To be honest, besides from Okami, not many people have been able to take on Silva. And despite supposedly being on steroids, he still beat the guy in 4 rounds and I'm positive a lot of people would enjoy a rematch. Also, the love him or hate him, the guys freaking hilarious and interesting and people want to see him. Because of that, there will be a rematch sooner or later.
OMG I think hell froze over. Chael was actually KINDA nice about his criticisms for once, lol. He's got a mouth but he may be right on this one, it doesn't look like Wanderlei can hang with the best guys at 185 or 205 anymore and he can't make any other weights to even try outside of that. I doubt Dana will cut him RIGHT NOW, but its on the horizon. Chael vs Stann would be excellent for both guys, but I see Sonnen taking Stann out unless Brian has a remarkable takedown defense
@MMAstokke He was out for 2 seconds. I watched the fight. I'm not sure you were watching the same one. Just so you know it wasn't a KO victory. Which means Fedor wasn't knocked out.
@ExposeAndEliminate I didn't say he didn't lose, I just said he hit anderson more times then anyone else...ever and was well on his way to winning before he got caught
Chael kicked ass tonight fuck it was awesome. He is going to beat the shit out of Silva this time... Well he did last time as well but this time he wont fuck up at the last minute, he will get the win.
@mondaywar If Dan Henderson wins i would love to see him sign with the UFC again. And fight Chael at middleweight. Cause i know Dan wants another shot at Silva
Chael sonnen don't care. Chael sonnen don't give a shit. He just says what he wants and shits all over everbody. Anderson says you just do all the work Chael Sonnen and will get you in the fifth. I love this rivalry.
i hate how just because wandy got ko'd everyone thinks that he shud retire now. its mma. anybody that gets hit gets ko'd. its like gettin hit wit a brick.
i bet chael felt sorta like Overeem when werdum beat fedor, chael/overeem wanted to be the one to expose them but someone else gets top it before both of them.
@Gus589 Early stoppage. Dana White has it in for Fedor. The guy was on the ground and he turned over on his own. Henderson said he had top position and i agree. But let the fight go on. Herb Dean was told to stop it early by Dana. They should have let it go on. Not saying Henderson wouldn't have knocked him out but let it go.
Yes Dana White, Please let SONNEN fight A. SILVA again. He will win for sure. I think Anderson Silva knows this. Last time, Sonnen beat his ass for 5 rounds, it was an embarrassment, but then Sonnen got caught in submission in last min of fight. Know one has ever dominated SIlva before and I guarantee Sonnon wouldn't get caught again.
@MMAstokke Herb Dean stopped it cause Dana told him too. And any chance he had to stop it do it. He doesn't like Fedor and thats why he cut him right after the fight. You can say it's cause he lost 3 in a row. But Henderson doesn't bring in fans. Fedor does. Herb Dean should have let it go until he was KO'd. So their isn't any excuses. He seemed fine to me. He got up right after the fight was stopped.
@368790TylerM Let Chael have a warm up fight or two. Silva is the champ and has been fighting more since than. I think Chael could win, but if Silva trains properly he can be him easily.
haha people hate on chael sonnen because they cant stand the fact that he beat the fuck out of anderson silva and they know when he comes back for the rematch that will be the last time anderson silva holds the belt
@mondaywar He turned it down cause Dana wasn't giving him the money. Dan Henderson might be the only guy to cut weight and fight in 3 different weight classes. UFC couldn't keep up with PRIDE back then. The main reason UFC blew up was all the trash talk before fights. Guys in PRIDE were calling out UFC fighters back then. And they never responded. Chuck lost. Tito never went.
@kingfester i allways knew it was a tko. but he woke up after being knocked out. then got beaten to the tko. you say he wasn't out ? so.... his face hitting the floor was some sort of defencive technique ? HE WAS OUT. but woke up again. when a fighter has been out the fight is over. but he wasn't out long enough for the fight to stop via KO. he woke up again. and got beaten to tko. great stoppage herb dean !
@MMAstokke oh now you noticed it was a TKO lol. Make up your mind. Anyway i'm sticking to my story that Dana has it out for Fedor. The guy said he wasn't out so he wasn't out. That's final.
@ichimaxru Oh I meant other people besides yourself lol mb!. I do see chael beating him over several things. One thing is machida will have no weight advantage since hes a natural 205er while chael cuts a ton of weight. This will be effective when chael can bully him on the cage. The biggest asset he has is his wrestling and I'm pretty sure he can take him down. He has very underrated hands as well, rocking silva several times. You just chase machida and half the job is done to win.
@kingfester watch the fight. his face hit the floor. he was out. he woke back up again. he got knocked out. when a fighter get's knocked out. the fight is over. herb dean was great
@marlon...last time I checked, there's only 2 Brazilian champions out of the 7 weight classes in the UFC! I'm all for Brazilian fighters and have much respect for Royce Gracie for getting the sport up and running, but your ignorant comment makes you sound really uneducated about the sport!
@MMAstokke His face hit the floor lol. So how did he manage to get on his back?? And to prove Dana has it out for him. He cuts Fedor lol. Dana is a suck. He couldn't sign him so he buys strikforce hoping to cut him and he did.
@Gurpreet25 im not in the machida bandwagon, for being honest im not a fan of him,and i wont see him beating bones, but Chael is calling him, and in the hypotetical case of this fight happen, i wont see any chances where chael could beat machida, lyoto had all the tools to beat him.
@mondaywar Yeah that's fine. I just think he talks a lot. And for him to say Fedor is 3-2 in mma he's just trying to get attention. What Fedor did will never be matched. Fedor fought the best Heavyweights in the world. Even guys in the ufc tried to go over to pride and couldn't beat him.
@mcknives98745 he is only 32. and he fucked keith jardine up like last year. got caught against leben thats all. he reached for a muay thai clinch and leben uppercut'd him. it could happen to anyone.
@kingfester he was out. if a fighter is out the fight should be stopped ! he was out ! if you don't think that he was out you seriously have a drinking problem. he was knocked out. his face hit the floor. he woke up again. got pounded. herb dean stopped the fight. it was a TKO victory. which is a way of knockout actually. TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT !
@mondaywar Henderson doesn't like people that talk a lot. So if that happens. Which would be a main event for sure. Dan would kill him. Look at what he did to Bisping lol.
@ichimaxru I don't see machida raping but for some reason people are on the machida band wagon. First it was machida is the only one who is going to beat jones LOL. This fight does nothing in the title picture for either guy so I don't think they will make this match.
@themanwith6 Yeah, that's why when Lyoto became LHW Champ, he hadn't even lost one round in the ufc, ever. Karate Master > Gay Ass Wrestler In other words - Lyoto > Chael A million times
I WANT CHAEL SONNEN TO GET A REMATCH FIGHT VS ANDERSON SILVA NOW!!! BECAUSE I KNOW AND YOU ALL KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT CHEAL SONNEN IS BETTER THEN ANDERSON SILVA AND HE WILL BEAT HIM TOO IF THAT HAPPENS AND IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THINK OF THE MONEY THE UFC WILL MAKE AND IT WILL SELL OUT QUICKER THEN THE GSP VS SHEILDS FIGHT SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DANA WHITE MAKE THE REMATCH FIGHT SILVA VS SONNEN 2 BECAUSE THAT FIGHT NEED TO HAPPEN AND CHAEL SONNEN IS THE ONE TO BEAT ANDERSON SILVA!!!!!!!!!!!!
