Quoteworthy:
"Even though Mark Coleman is a bum, he wins fights. Who’s Mark Coleman’s coach? Who is Mark Coleman’s training partner? What is the name of the gym that he trains at? And don’t tell me the Hammer House. I want to know an actual building, an actual piece of real estate with a sign on it. Where does he train? Everybody has a coach. Tiger Woods has a coach. Michael Jordan had a coach. Mayweather has a coach. Mark Coleman does not have a coach. Everybody has a team. Everybody has a team backing them. Tiger Woods has a team. Kobe has a team. All the greats have a team of any sport. He doesn’t have a team! He’s his own coach, he’s his own team. He doesn’t even have a gym he belongs to. That’s just silly. How you could be in this for this long and be a one man show. On one hand (it) is remarkable. On one hand, maybe I’m looking at it wrong. Maybe I need to compliment him a little bit, but it’s just silly. That’s not what a dedicated guy does."
Trash-talking middleweight Chael Sonnen rants about the UFC 109 main event between Randy Couture and Mark Coleman. Sonnen called the fight a mismatch, but is excited to see if Coleman, who he called "a bum", can pull off the upset over Couture. Sonnen has become quite the talker during his time with the UFC -- also bashing Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami, and now hopping up a division in terms of talking smack. Is Sonnen out of line calling a UFC Hall of Famer "a bum" and saying that his manner of preparation is "not what a dedicated guy does?" Or is this just another way for Sonnen to keep getting his name out there in order to land a title shot -- that without his ability to promote a fight may otherwise never happen?

He trains with Randleman and Sims
among others… Who the hell is Sonnen? Nate is gonna shut his mouth Hendo style!!
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, Listen to what Chael said about Anderson Silva
“You want me to let you in on a secret, Anderson Silva speaks perfect English,” Sonnen told MMAWeekly Radio. “He just has such a low amount of respect for you and all the rest of the media that he pretends he doesn’t. I’ve had conversations with Anderson Silva in perfect English, and on top of that he’s so boring to listen to that he and his rocket scientist manager, Ed Soares, who is also about as exciting as watching grass grow, have decided that Ed is better on the mic than Anderson, so just let Ed do the talking.”
“It’s quite ironic that all the media comes on and talks about how great this guy is for reasons that are completely un-understandable to me. How great Anderson Silva is, and all of us fighters are in the back going, ‘jeez, they’re out there massaging his ego, Anderson hates them so much, he pretends he can’t understand them.”
My Thoughts:
All I can say is that Anderson does appear to understand English when he is being asked questions. I even seen him smile and what not or chuckle, when a question is asked in English at pre fight pres conferences.
I AM SOMETIMES BIASED - Get over it!!!!!!!
My boy Mir has some serious competition in the Sh*t Talking arena
Chael is going after everyone. Stitch better watch out. I’m sure Chael has an opinion about his ability to close cuts!!!!
TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If we fight for money, I'll stop hitting you when you ask me to. If we fight for honor, I'll stop hitting you when i feel like it." - Rickson Gracie
Exactly
Mir is a badass. Sonnen got a giant head when he beat Fihlo. If he would have beat the Paulo Fihlo that earned the #2 spot on most rankings list, I could see him being cocky. He beat a Paulo Fihlo that barely made it into the arena.
And I actually like Sonnen. It’s a shame he talks so damn much.
Like it or not though
The win over Okami was pretty big. he only lost to Franklin previously in the UFC.
But it was Okami’s first fight back
I AM SOMETIMES BIASED - Get over it!!!!!!!
At first when I read this I thought what a joke sonnen is, now that I have thought about it more I can only think that this is his attempt to get himself more recognition and hopefully get him the bigger money fights. The guy can’t shut his mouth right now, not a big fan of Nate but this is one fight I hope he wins by ko

sure the late great evan tanner was a one man show when he was middleweight champ..correct me if am wrong
Not totally sure… I remember he was with Team Quest when he entered the UFC as a LHW, and he joined ATT after he lost the strap.

think he's back with Hendo
Fedor once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit.
On July 19th, 1999, a naked Fedor re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.
Hendo died?

Epic heel.
sonnen making the internet cry.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
i love it.
he doesn’t really get too personal; all the shit he talks is pretty in-Octagon related

Take out the name Chael Sonnen and just read it for what it’s worth and i tell you I can’t disagree with any of that. On one hand it is remarkable, on the other it’s silly. Just look at the Shogun fight. He gasses out HARD cus he doesn’t know what a real camp is. He didn’t know how to train properly didn’t have any money to bring in training partners. Gee whiz wouldn’t that be the signal to go to Extreme Couture or the Tapout gym or wherever he went to for Bonner? He fights the former #1 or 2 guy and all he did was go to a gym and use machines. He did the One Man Show routine and failed miserably it was his heart and determination that pushed him through that fight. Just saying, Chael has done some serious trash talking as of late but none without merit.
by failing miserably you mean winning 2 rounds and gassing just a bit harder than shogun? you know the same exact shogun that you all say beat machida? yeah that guy.. dont give me some bs about shogun not being in shape and whatever it was 2 different fights, machida fights are slow and dont take much energy, as to coleman fight where the pace was pushed so what coleman gassed hes also 40 effing years old and beat up a guy you all say is the real champion…
chael i liked your silva rant but talking shit about a guy that would make you his bitch in under a minute is a bad idea.. i was picking chael to beat overrated nate until i read this now i hope he gets his monotone mouth shut

You fail to mention that he was a 45 yr old man coming off a 3 year lay off when...
making your assesment…Also like Randy Murders below me said, 27 yr old
Shogun was just as tired and had lost 2 rounds to him and was 30 seconds away from losing the fight. Yeah he got the win but he didnt look good.
I am curious to see if Chael continues to rant after he loses to Nate…
Chael may get his name out there by doing this but he has to know.
That he doesn’t look the part at all, and comes off real as an ass!
Caps vs Boston now, let’s GO Caps!
fresh like uhh.
caps ftw
Live in NOVA hate hockey but everyone around here seems to be overnight hockey fans so I thought i would join in
Shane Cawin....the next UFC HW champ....Mir......another puffy face with an added broken jaw....Brock you're next

yea im from the DC area and all of a sudden the Caps are the most popular team.
theyll never replace my skins but i dont mind seeing one DC team do well
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Exactly
Chael went from a boring fighter with no look or personality to a boring fighter who also happens to be a dick head. Honestly this guy is the biggest arsehole in the sport right now, he has no respect for anyone and has a big mouth for a one dimensional fighter who hasn’t won any major titles and has been submitted countless times because the homophobe won’t train in BJJ. Can’t stand him, he’s the sort of guy that makes you turn off the TV as soon as you see him. Can’t wait for Nate to smash him to pieces and send him back to obscurity.

really...
he’s letting that okami match go to his head… sonnen is a fucken bum himself.
on a site note that pic is fucking hilarious.
Okami looked terrible and smaller in that fight...he seemed uninterested and indifferent when he lost...too bad, I always thought he got a raw deal

dont be making excuses for Okami.
he got thoroughly man-handled in the wrestling that fight… he looked smaller maybe, but it could be because Chael is a big SOB

shogun would agree
what did shogun say about coleman? something about how do you hit mark coleman? you just close your eyes and swing.
brock lesnar owns fedor's soul
Dont fall into the trap
This guy shouldnt even make anyone madd.. Sonnen is a nobody period. This is a nobody talking shit about somebodys. Coleman would still kill sonnen with one hand lol Lets not take this guy serious Sonnen also say Anderson is boring. He’s seems too worried on everyone but his opponent.. good night
Chael...
STFU. The only reason i read anything with his name on it is to see what kind of dumb remark he’s gonna make to try and make himself relevant in the MW division. Why is he commenting on Coleman anyways. What an asshoe.

Sonnen....
All I know is Sonnen needs to STFU and keep his mind on Nate….I got to much money on this upset and he needs to be thinking about my pocket….SONNEN FTW
Shane Cawin....the next UFC HW champ....Mir......another puffy face with an added broken jaw....Brock you're next
I hope Nate shuts Sonnen up!
I liked Sonnen a lot more when he didn’t say a word. wait….I can’t remember him not opening his mouth since joining the ufc. First it was him and Maia are the best two MW and the winner is number 1, then he talks smack about Andy and now this. Just shut it Sonnen, I personally can’t wait to see Nate smash him!

Sonnen will lose to Nate, then maybe get bisping after he loses to Wandy.
And hopefully get released from his contract Haha
For once I'd be cheering for Bisping

Sonnen the trash talking Republican!
It’s been a while since I’ve commented on here but Sonnen managed to get me to. Not sure if it’s good for him to be talking trash about different fighters that he will never face most likely.
Maybe Sonnen should watch the UFC countdown show(THAT HE IS ON!) and he would find out that Coleman is at the tapout gym and shawn tompkins is his coach!
Douche
Damn right he's a douche, don't take it back
It’s one of many words that can describe how much of an arsehole this guy is.

chael sonnen is the bum
sonnen what have you done biggest mark you made is beat a drugged up paulo filho .mark colmen beat the best at in his prime he actually became ufc hevayweight champion.you didn`t even win the wec middleweight title (i admit got rob but still).he became pride grand pre champ.his coach is the ex trainer of randy couture.so chael you have offically made me decied to order ufc 109 to watch nate knock your god head off
.so chael you have offically made me decied to order ufc 109 to watch nate knock your god head off
Has it occured to you that that was the intention behind all his trash talking in the first place?

if mike bisping had said this, we would be in ww3 now.
sonnen is on a one way road to fuck off ville…. there is hyping a fight, and then theres slagging off all of your peers, unless he scores an unbelievable victory over mr marqquuarrrt, then he’s in fuck off ville……and he deserves it. if it wern’t for mr coleman, that lay and pray patronising “i know better than anyone else, cos i allegedly beat a mentall brazilian 1 time” idiot would not know what he was doing at all….

Shame that Sonnen got off lightly there.

You know..
I like Chael, but he hasn’t even won a legitimate world title and the WEC Middleweight title doesn’t count especially if they get rid of the division you held it at. He doesn’t deserve to be talking about Coleman that way. I do hope he brings it to Nate and smokes his ass.

I like some gold old fashioned trash talking. It stirs the pot. Keep talkin Chael
especially after you take out nate

Shit talk is great if you can back it up
Bashing people from other weight classes and insulting a p4p great as well as disrespecting a great martial art and making homophobic comments just makes you a piece of shit. The fact that the guy is a boring nobody who hasn’t done anything to warrant his big mouth makes me despise him even more. He also has a really stupid name (what sort of name is Chael?) and the most punchable face in MMA, just looking at him makes me angry. Nate’s going to smash him on Saturday.

On a side note, I wonder how scary Gabe Gonzaga would be if he joined a proper camp???
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

He’s the HW Kang, both of them should be world class but they choke against world class opposition and some lesser fighters as well, even if they have the fight won.
