Chael Sonnen: Fighter, Realtor, Politician ... Amnesiac? (Updated)
Props: Yahoo Sports
Quoteworthy:
"I never did an interview with Larry Pepe. I've never spoke of Lance Armstrong -- ever."
UFC middleweight number one contender Chael Sonnen feels the heat for steamrolling cycling champ Lance Armstrong during his Aug. 2 interview with Larry Pepe on Pro MMA Radio right here on MMAmania.com. The mouthy ex-politician refuses to break political kayfabe and even tells Ariel Helwani that he's never spoken to bodybuilding's brawny bulletin broadcaster despite five separate interviews across the span of two years. So has Sonnen been too busy with media interviews to keep track of who he's spoken to and what he's said? Or is he simply failing to take responsibility for his trash-talking now that he's being called on it? Listen to the Armstrong comments here. Live by the sword ...
Update: Jim Rome drops the hammer on Sonnen with the Pro MMA Radio audio which Sonnen calls "A guy with a Hispanic accent." Listen to it here.

Really. .......
That is a punk move. He needs to come up with something better than that.
OMG that is SO him
How the hell can Sonnen say that’s not him? If it’s a good voice actor, at least acknowledge it, but to say that the guy sounds like some Hispanic person? He talks just like that, though…
He must be really practicing for his political career with this one
I listened to that Pro MMA radio show LIVE and Chael’s interview lasted about 30 minutes. He talked about many many many different things. This dude is quacked out of his mind if he thinks he’s gonna get away with all this bullshitting. Maybe he forgot that THE INTERNET EXISTS!

i hate sonnen with such an intense passion it is unbelievable. I have NO idea how any of you guys can be on his side at all, even at the beginning of the chirping.
Everything he says is complete nonsense, “Anderson Silva’s been ducking me for five years” BULLSHIT i doubt anderson silva even knew who you were five fuckin years ago. “I’ve beat every contendor in the MW division” BULLSHIT You got fuckin tapped by Maia quicktime. I despise sonnen andhow some people can hate anderson silva’s two rounds of dancing around after absolutley picking apart maia more than sonnens ridiculous chips is wayyyy beyond me.

it was more like 2 rounds of dancing and 3 rounds of running away
and maybe 40 seconds of fighting somewhere mixed in there. Sonnen’s been running his mouth but at least he thinks he can win, which is more than you can say about most of Silva’s opponents.

Chael Sonnen shocks the world at UFC 117
I believe every opponent has thought they were going to beat Anderson...
except maybe Lutter lol.
but seriously, Leben thought he’d clown him. Henderson thought he was going to smash him, etc.
If you fight in this sport and you don’t think you can win, you are in the wrong sport..and are not a competitor.
Chael’s talking is done. He’s now been a proven liar. Yes, he has excellent wrestling and has the ability to possibly win, but its doubtful. However anything is possibly in MMA. Isn’t that why we all love this sport?
For him to call out Lance Armstrong on a radio interview, and than completely deny it in a video interview shows poor character.
In the beginning I was enjoying the way he was hyping the fight, because it is the truth that Anderson doesn’t hype his fights. It has gone way overboard though. he’s just a prick looking for attention. His 15 minutes of fame will be up after UFC117.
BluntnBeer
I care far more about what happens inside the octagon than what happens out of it. Sonnen’s trash talk has no relevance. Anderson has had three horribly shitty fights… Leites, Cote, and Maia. I’m pretty sure all 3 of those fights were main events.
If you take Sonnen’s nonsense for what it is and just laugh at it, it’s not a big deal. I don’t think he really gives a shit who he offends or what he says. He’s just rambling. The more seriously people take him, the bigger his star power grows.

Great post, Nick.

ballhawk, you prolly won't read this cause the post is long gone but...
i 100% agree what takes place in the cage is far more important than trash talking, my hatred for sonnen after recanting his statement just angered me far too much. I will say this though, i only hold anderson at fault for the maia fight, not the Leites or cote. Honestly, i was in montreal at the leites fight and we were booing LEITES not anderson, why would anderson drop to the ground with a world class BJJ guy who just keeps flopping to the mat?? that fight was almost entirely leites’ fault. And in the cote fight, anderson hit him with a couple SOLID knees and strikes but cote didn’t drop….then he blew out his knee. How can you fault anderson for cote’s knee blowing out?? The maia fight…complete bullshit i agree lol As for sonnen’s trash talking, i think its more the fact that he actually believes what he is saying (analogous to ffloyd mayweather’s take on mma) even though it is all lies and bullshit. I can’t listen to a guy call another guy a liar like 20 times and then blatantly lie right after that, its just too much. I also agree that fueling the fire raises the guys star power, but not if the stupid mma journalists did their job and called him out on it, i would really just like to see that happen. Thats basically my take on it, hope you read it !! lol

What in the world is
HAPE? Happy Ape? Harmless tape? Hope of rape?
Heres a question......
Obviously Anderson Silva will extend his hand to touch gloves at the stare down….. but do you think Sonnen will touch gloves? I think he wont just to pour it on up until the very last second before he gets his head knocked off.

this guy is whacked
as i said before, I want to see 1 of 2 things happen:
1) Chael grinds out Silva for a decision
2) Silva puts on a Leben-esque ass whoopin
My P4P Top 5:
1) GSP 2) Aldo 3) A. Silva 4)Shogun 5) Fedor
arent those the only two things that CAN happen………..realistically?
SOnnens only chance of a win is a fitch-decision.
and anderson wont be able to dance because chael will press, so he will KO

Well Sonnen usually gets submitted.
So there is the chance of Anderson doing just that from bottom position, if we assume Chael can take him down without getting ktfo.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
agreed there, for a second i forgot about chaels inability to train jj because it homo….

What are you all talking about; Remember I'm Chael Sonnen/ and your not.
This is an attempt by the media and its leftist cronies to take down a true blooded American. Do you think I really knew what his name is. I heard that his last name was Felipe and I thought wow theres my gardner trying to interview me. He respects his employer. Which is more than I can say about the drive by media that reports over these events. Why dont you talk to Anderson Silva, why dont your grill him. Its because he is black right, the drive by media is hard pressed for real knews and cant afford to be politically incorrect.
Remember kids I’m Chael and your not.

atta boy sonnen, you dont want to go and get your ass kicked by someone who “gave themselves cancer” after you get your ass kicked on saturday
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
Lmao
this guy says he hasn’t watched tape on him because he never had any tape until now…
i guess the internet doesn’t exist…
Chael is so annoying...

Wow
I’m the last person to defend Sonnen, but that’s racist? How and against what race??

yeah i'm with mythbuster
he really hasn’t made any real racist remarks. he’s come close. However his mention of wearing a pink shirt and earrings not being welcomed in his neighborhood, or whatever, are indirectly homophobic remarks IMO.
Definitely
He’s absolutely homophobic.

You may be on to something lol

Anderson's already put him on queer street
and they haven’t even fought yet. That is why Chael isn’t making any sense. Have to admit his “most interesting man” commercials are kind of funny.
Yeah he's a tool,
but give him a pass, he was probably too jacked up on Xanax to remember the talking to Larry Pepe.

On the countdown show,
he made a big deal about “Anderson Silva is a liar!” – and he wouldn’t know the truth if it rammed him in the ass.

people really sympathised with him
During the whole paulo filho ordeal…now everyone wants his head on a platter…smack talk or not, I wanna see silva suffer for that bs main event at 112. Chael is doing all this to sell the fight, nothing else..so people forget how lame silvas last fight was…its brilliant, really…he has ALOTTA people ready to buy this fight

Ariel is the the only reporter it seems whos going to call chael out on his bullshit. LIke why aren’t people asking about all the lies hes been spewing? Are they that clueless or just to scared to ask?
"its either going to be genius or its going to f***ing suck. Until I see the first cut I have no idea. But you know what? Neither does anybody else"
If he just woulda kept his comments short and non descript
Instead of going off like this he’d be the good guy coming into this fight….

Question
What if you are wearing the long goatee does that mean that your twin from the alternate universe is clean shaven. Is he evil but if your evil does your doppleganger becomce good or eviler. Woah way too much thinking its like the paradox of time travel it will give me a headache.

Lance and Nike go way back (Tiger, too!), Nike runs the LIVESTRONG clothing line....
Chael works out at the Nike facility, wears Nike workout clothing.
Nike called Chael. Got his mind right.
So first he insults someone for overcoming cancer and now he denies it, somehow Chael manages piss me off a little bit more each day
The man’s a coward who says horrible things about everyone then doesn’t have the decency to admit it when he’s called out on his stupidity.
I think Sonnen’s intimidated, his trashtalk is getting more desperate and silly by the day and he’s freely admitted that he’s not as talented a fighter as Andy as well as being scared of getting into a fight with Andy at the expo. I don’t buy into any of his crap, I bet that he panics when he comes face to face with the P4P king in the cage and looks for a way out as soon as he is in trouble. He’s going to get outclassed by a better man and fighter.
"Stay classy San Diego"
Jon "Bones" Jones, MMAs best young fighter and the next LHW champion
It seems he gets a little crazier each day
I don’t remember him ever hyping a fight this much. I know he had some words for Fihlo, but I normally hear him just talking about his dad and his promise. Does he realize he is swimming in the deep end of the pool now? I think you may be onto something here David.

You gonna put a video up of that?`
i kid! I KID! Lol.
Lance comments
From watching the video, I think Chael honestly thought he had never said anything about Lance Armstrong. He appeared to be telling a “truth” that at least he believed. Obviously, he was wrong. I think he forgot.
This isn’t an excuse. If you’re in the public eye and you start talking crap about a celebrity, you should keep tabs on the things you say.
Moreover, you should remember the media outlets/personalities who you give interviews to, especially one you’ve been interviewed by 5 times over 2 years.
i think if Chael were approached by someone who quoted his exact words on the Armstrong bash, he’d remember saying it. It’d be interesting to see if he’d fess up to it or still claim he never said it. his response was very much like a politician’s, and that’s disappointing.
I don't blame him for taking advantage of his 15 minutes of fame. If he loses - he got some much needed publicity for his career anyway. If he wins - he looks like a genius. I am an Andy fan but people don't realize the intelligence of Sonnen's plan.

I think everyone was ok with it at first. Even if he wanted to keep talking he could've done so. I think it's the blatant lies that piss everyone off. It's an insult to our intelligence to try to pass off the things that he claims.
Of course you’re right OJR, everyone wants to see the fight now. I just think he could’ve accomplished that end while still being the good guy that people would still want to watch even if he loses. Now I think people just want him to go away. If he wins, it’s brilliant, but if he loses, I think his strategy was dumb.
"It's not what you know, it's what you can prove."
I think Sonnen should have used "Your mama" jokes on Silva. That would get him mad.

I love it that Rome actually played the tape to Chael and he still denied it. We might see the most frightening Silva ever. If Maia pissed him off, then damn Chael’s fucked.
For all you fellow “clones” WAR Rome for calling Chael out on the Lance issue.
love Romey
And that is why. He isn’t afraid of the uncomfortable confrontations. He isn’t afraid of the uncomfortable questions. He likes asking tough questions. When an athlete comes on his show, he likes to get down to the tough debate. Totally unafraid of those questions we are all dying to hear. Not afraid of mixing it up with those interviews. Not afraid of keeping it real by relaying the questions all the fans want to hear. Questions, Jim Rome asks tough ones.
"We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."
You know what?
Sonnen is a decent guy, Silva is a decent guy but in this instance what we’re witnessing is entertainment. While both these guys’ antics can rub anyone the wrong way, we’re entertained and the UFC’s current valuation is probably well north of $1B. So Sonnen and Silva are doing their things, being business people, employed by a business.
Sonnen can run his mouth all he wants. He’s within his legal rights and frankly, someone needs to make entertaining comments before the fight. I don’t have a problem with either of these guys and everyone on this forum should calm down and not take what these guys say too seriously.
They aren’t talking to you, they’re talking to each other- like a script in a play, ok?
Prediction: I keep thinking of Rd 1 Hendo v. Silva and I can see it happening again (especially after Sonnen and Okami) however, I think Silva’s ability to be well-rounded and dangerous on the feet bode well for him at the beginning of each round and I don’t think the judge will allow for Sonnen to have top position for 23 minutes without standing the fight up, so, Silva via TKO Rd. 3.
It’s show-business and as Lesnar says, “I hope you’re entertained.”!!!!
