UFC Quick Quote: Chael Sonnen and Demian Maia are better than Anderson Silva

I’m laughing so hard, coffee just went all over the screen! This is coming from the guy who couldn’t beat a drugged up in lala land Paulo Fihlo…god this is the single funniest quote this year!

this is almost as funny as Jake Shields calling out GSP over and over, yet never signing with the UFC!

WHAT!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

Both of these guys are good and the winner will probably get a title shot or be 1 more win away from one. Better than Anderson? HAHAHHA no. Beat guys like Hendo, Franklin, Marquatte, etc…first

Sonnen…. your insane.

Madness!!!! LOL

Sonnen is nowhere near the level Maia or Silva are. Maia, IMO, is the only one in the division that has the best chance of beating Silva. Sonnen is a retard and should just not speak. He sounds incoherent every time he speaks. I hope Maia puts him to sleep like he did to Herman.

Jake Shields greates win is over Okami forever ago. The famed youtube video against Deigo Snachez is not diego sanchez. Jake Shields is the most over rated fighter there is. He could not win 3 fights in the UFC.

What? what is he drugs? Did Filho pass him something on the low in their rematch.. Waht? Best MW in the UFC..

Chael : If you did not get the Memo.. ANDERSON SILVA is the best MW on this side of the universe.

On Maia.. he is without a doubt one of.. or the best Ground fighter in the UFC 185 division.. but not " the ".. best fighter currently at 185 for the UFC.

Chael say no to drugs.

I hope that Sonnen is just trying to get some hype surrounding his fight… if he isn’t, he is delusional. I’m calling 1st round RNC by Maia

The views expressed are those of the speaker, and not necessarily those of this site, that site, the other site, or of anyone else in the modern world.

Hahahahaa! This is so outlandish that I had to come back and read/comment again.

Unreal!

Hey, who remember’s when Sonnen fought Babalu and Sobral locked in that heel hook that had Chael screaming like a school girl!

lol and you thought Filho was crazy

WOW!

How does he get medical clearance to fight? LOL!

oh well,he’s confident alright..errrr,anyway maia is definitely going to make chael tap out,no doubt about it..

I respect Chaels abilitys but he can be real stuped sometimes an example would be the whole I did not tap thing in the first Filho fight when he clerly was screaming TAP TAP TAP watch he gets KOed by silva sometime and is like I wasent KOed

if i was silva i would be insulted and slap chael silly

Is Sonnen insane?!?! The Spider would annihilate his ass. But we will never get to see that happen because Sonnen’s sorry ass will never earn a title shot against Anderson Silva. Does he seriously think he’s better than one of the most dominant and most devastating fighters of all time???

Didn’t Sonnen get choked out in a triangle by Griffin? Griffin is a good fighter but no known for submissions. Sonne is a one trick pony and got tapped by a brawler.

I think not.

Silva is #1
Marquardt is #2
Hendo is #3

Then theres the rest.

Strong words my friend strong words. Did Filho front him some drugs before he made this comment?

They need to do one of those out of cycle drug tests on this guy…

SMART MOVE BY SONNEN. He is now (possibly) one fight away from a title shot. If (big if) he can somehow get by Maia, he’ll get a title shot because of these comments (or has a much better chance). Before he made these remarks, he was at least 2-3 wins (probably more) away from a title shot.

I don’t think he is even delusional enough to believe these comments that he made. I think he is trying to be a smart marketer. But then again maybe I am overestimating him.

I havent figured out why the bout isn’t sonnen vs leites and Damien vs Silva Maia is a better contender to silva and deserves it Maia takes this fight much like what he did to herman by whatever he wants.

I dunno about this fight. Maia has to get the fight to the ground first unless his striking has vastly improved. With the wrestling Sonnen has I think he will dictate where the fight takes place and I bet he won’t take it to the ground. He will win by UD with standup.

Doesn’t matter who the Spider fights. His stand up is untouchable and his BJJ is as good as anyones. I think Bisbing should be fighting him. The Spider likes to stand up and so does Bisbing, that would make an exciting fight.

THIS GUY JUST DUG HIS OWN GRAVE!!! What a fuckin idiot. He probably just lost half of his fans with this stupid quote considering Anderson is so well liked and appreciated for his performances and respect in the UFC. Maybe becuase he was WEC’s middleweight champion he feels he has the right to call out other champions. CHONNEN I LIKED YOU BUT NOW YOUR JUST A FUCKIN IDIOT AND I HOPE U GET YOUR ASS BEAT DOWN!!! Have some respect for the middlewieght champion that has actually proven himself time and time again to be a true champion. You have yet to defend your belt and you took the belt from filho who i believe any UFC middleweight could have beat.

Yeah there must be something in the drinkiong water wherever Sonnen lives, because he would get dismantled by Silva. If an unmotivated, crazy Paulo Fihlo can submit him, a pissed off, badass Anderson Silva would destroy him. I hope this fight goes down I hate cocky fighters more than anything

He’s right about the Champion not always being the best. In fact, in the UFC, it’s very often that the Champ is not the best. But really, Silva is one of the guys who unquestionably is the best.

I agree, im a fan of chael Sonnel, but come on Chael! I agree dumbiest quote of the year!! lol!!!!!!!

Sonnen can say what he wants—-their respective records say otherwise. A sloppy win over a mentally-disturbed Paulo Filho doesn’t suddenly make Sonnen king of the MW division. He has nothing substantial in his entire career to support his claim of being the best, and neither does Maia. Potential does not equal actual, and Sonnen is not even potentially the best MW.

Stupid statement from a guy who needs a double portion of humble pie.

No way CHAEL!! DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmmfao

i kinda want sonnen to beat maia now, just so anderson can knock him the f… out

Almost every fighter thinks there the “uncrowned” champ. Talk to almost anyone in every division and they’ll think they have a great shot at dethroning the champ, its just the fighter mentality. There’s got to be someone out there that would give silva a run for his money, I hope silva doesn’t retire before that happens, too many one sided fights(slaughters) not battles.

Love the picure mmamania .. laughed my ass off when I noticed Silva in the middle there.

Maia is a beast, but this cat couldn’t touch Anderson.

that is laughable… he must have to practice saying that, to be able to say that with a straight face.

no comment

wtf!? this guy is trippin. he knows that the spider would murder him. I don’t think he can even beat maia. wut a bunch of stupid words he’s saying.

I sort of liked Sonnen after the Filho debacle but this guy is a clown shoes.

hahaah what a JOKE.

Next to Hendo, i actually think Maia is the toughest test for A. Silva

Maia will beat Sonnen soundly.

then it should be Maia vs Marquardt AND the winner of THAT match vs Okami for the number 1 contender (after winner of bisping/hendo)

ANDERSON SILVA IS OVER RATED!!! WHO DID HE BEAT THAT IS WORTH ANYTHING? HE SUX!

as much as i like maia, i want to see sonnen’s reaction when hes waking up after his fight with silva.

Sonnen is just hyping his upcoming fight..

Yeah, and I could submit Fedor

A request, IF Sonnen gets a shot at Silva, can you have a camera on Sonnen’s face at every moment, especially when the cage door closes and locks. ahahahahahahahaa

Vince, who has he beat? How about Dan Henderson, one of the best out there and tougher than a $2 steak.

jajaja if sonnen is better than Anderson Silva then Kimbo Slice can take Randy Couture, man Sonnen must be on some good ass drugs jajaja

wtf. These guys all have such big egos.

I picked BJ in the BJ/GSP fight but I am beginning to like GSP more and more because he just keeps his mouth shut and fights 99% of the time.

Respect to GSP. Respect to Anderson.

No respect to idiots who haven’t done shit yet and could disappear off the planet in 12 months and no one would remember their name.

I’m an average dude with a little kickboxing experience and little bit of amateur wrestling and this would be like me saying that my 160 lb ass would destroy Anderson. I understand the need to feel your the best, if you don’t obviously you shouldn’t be there, but really! Anderson isn’t the best? Next Chael is going to challenge Brock/Mir winner I’m sure that it’s PCP he’s smoking hear it makes you feel invincible

BISBING BISBING BISBING BISBING!!!!!!!!!!1

Um Henderson or Bisping have better shots.
Anderson is too crafty and long for Maia to take him down and Shonnen, well it would be like Tyson Vs. Butterbean.
Wait, can someone book that?

lmao wow i totally hate him now…..what a fucking joke

Do you people not get it. “Calling people out” is simply a tactic. A fairly tried and true device of getting yourself closer to a shot at the title. It’s an attempt to get people (whether legitimate or not) to at least mention your name in the same breath as the champ. I can’t blame Sonnen. He wants to move up, and this is one element of a strategy to do that.

Of course this is the easy part. The difficult part would be to actually pull off a victory. And I really don’t see that happening. While I think Chael’s superior wrestling would allow him to take Silva (& Maia) down on a consistent basis, Sonnen is just too prone to submissions and it would be a fairly quick end.

yeah thats a joke and everyone on this page knows it. Until Anderson gets old and over the hill and loses that speed, reaction time, bruce lee skills etc Nobody is going to stop him. He has put away some of the best fighters in the world and he did it either effortlessly or he beat them at their own game.

Wow, I like Demian Maia a lot but now I kinda want Chael to win just to get a shot at Silva. See what happens…

Maia would sub A Silva in the 1st rnd. A Silva’s skillz on the ground aren’t even close too that of D Maia. Maia would somehow pull A Silva to the ground and sub him (rnc).

Silva is so dominate in the stand up that his ground skills are not payed attention to. Remember this assassin is a BJJ black belt with deadly skills. He took out Lutter who at the time was well known for his BJJ skills, he submitted Hendo via RNC an olympic greco wrestler who is more than a hand full on the ground. Maia no doubt has killer skills, but hasn’t faced anyone near the Spiders ability. I don’t think we’ve even seen the best of Silva yet, because those who were suppose to take him out haven’t been a challange.

I don’t know about Chael, but I strongly believe Damien would take the title from Anderson.

The reason sonnan says this is because silva is best friends with filho and he is just trying to get anderson to get a little angry at the comments…he wants the shot at the belt as he thinks he is the LAST REAL WEC champ…guy will get tooled….babalu made him cry, jermy horn made him cry and filho made him cry in the first fight on accident..
