We knew Jake Shields had brought Chael Sonnen in to train with the Cesar Gracie team to get him ready for Georges St. Pierre on April 30 at UFC 129. We saw the photographic evidence to prove it.
But has Sonnen gone from a part-time training partner to a full-blown member of the 209 boyz (Pic)? Don't be scared, Michael Spitsbing.

The “209” just got alot more dangerous
Anybody in this sport without a loss hasnt fought the right guy yet - Keith Jardine
Yep.
I don’t like Shields training with Sonnen. I don’t like it at all.
Awesome shirt that one even if I’d never be caught dead in one.

I hate Cheal, but this is good news bc I like Diaz!
This is huge bc of his fight with Semtex. I think Diaz’ standup is awesome, but why risk standing with him? Diaz needs to get the fight to the ground and sub him in round one.
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
Does that mean Shields is renouncing a potential run up the middle weight alley?

he's got decent competition at ww, no need to ballon up again
still, gsp via decision
Everything seems so much clearer now that bum Jon forcibly removed shogun’s dick out of my mouth. NNR for president and Tibau for FW…he’s just too small for LW
GSP via murder
Jon Jones vs Rampage Jackson!! Make it happen. Yes, I dislike Rampage that much.

I wouldnt have included “209” I would have been serious and said Cesar Gracie’s. Haha, just joking about Chael making the “209” tougher

New Champ
Would already be the champ if he would’ve been there before the AS fight. I’m sure they would’ve have taught him enough bjj defense

my boy CHAEL
if sonnen was fighting GSP then I’d be concerned for Rush, but I doubt it puts Shields over the top for the upset.. GSP is gona get it done yet again and then get beatdown by Anderson Silva
Rockets-Texans-Dynamo-Longhorn fan.. the Astros have gotten back into my good graces so theyre allowed back into the elite club... GO 'STROS, 2011 NL Central Division Champs!! you heard it hear first!
Sure you can trust me in a real estate deal...and i can pass a drug test too
i see what you did there
I think he is embracing it.
Where can I get a shirt like that?

Diaz used it originally to taunt KJ Noons right before they had the near brawl in Elite XC. Mayhem took it as his own to mock Diaz.
Exactly...

Fits, and they could use his Wrestling wisdom
As an MMA fan, I still like the guy. What can I say?
"Remember men, we are all winners in the eyes of Christ...except for the guy still bleeding on the canvass"
Those two high school "gangsters" could use any wisdom to help there caveman like thought process.
Shogun Rua, still only 1 quality win in the UFC and I don't want to hear any garbage excuses about his knee. That is all.

If Chael actually trains with them for a while it will do wonders for his career
His biggest weakness has and will continue to be BJJ this can of course change very fast if hes constantly training with them Nor Cal boyz.(JAke Gil Nate Nick Caesar). This also could do wonders for Nick and Nate who are severely lacking in the wrestling department as well as help to sharpen Jakes wrestling.
Wonderful thing for everyone invovled imo.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Agreed
Can’t wait to see how much this helps Jake and Nick in their next fights. If Sonnen can help the Diaz Bros become complete fighters and Shields become WW champion then I’ll have to try to like him (and as an Andy fanboy that will be tough). Maybe if I ignore all of his trash talk (Bisping abuse aside) I can actually do that.

As much as I hate Sonnen I hope that he does join Cesars full-time
There’s so much he can teach them and likewise he may have finally seen the light and decided to sort out his BJJ. A Sonnen with submission offense and defence and the Diaz Bros with wrestling, along with a better Jake and Gil. Scary thought.

With his spit or illegal knees?
Cause those pillow hands won’t do anything and his Jitz ain’t Spider level. Sorry Alex, Spitzbing has nothing for Sonnen so put your personal hatred aside and see reality. (don’t read my sig, cause it will make me look like a douche.) LOL ;)

Bisping has a very good chance against Sonnen.
I told you kids Rua was gonna run through Jones, but no one listened. The hype train has made its last stop, and the "mighty" Jon Jones has fallen. Shogun tore him up with his muay thai, and dominated in every aspect of the fight. He came in fully prepared and got the job done, like I knew he would. Still the greatest p4p of all time. And STILL UFC LHW Champ, Mauricio Shogun Rua.

For some reason I got a feeling if Chael joins the camp at some point, it will not end well.
I can see Nick and Nate beating the shit out of him if he says something wrong to them and kicking him out on the street.
Fedor.
he looks pretty badass in that pic,
Sonnen is going to kill Bisping, Im a an of both but the Count is not at Chaels level, Chaels a beast!
I think he might have to ease off the roids just a lil...

pretty much every fighter that has faced gsp has brought in crazy good wrestlers to camp to prepare them for gsp
neither of them did any good.
GSP with another dominating performance. tko rd 2
KG12 is the E.F. Hutton of Mania……when he talks, people should listen. For now, I humbly take my place as the latest victim of the undefeated wrecking machine that is KG12…………….Welcome to the Bones era!!!!!
Its not about wrestlers coming in to prepare its about the kind of wrestlers

Why does everyone think..
that Chael and his “wrestling” is going to help Shields prepare for his fight against GSP? Did Chael become the Yoda of Striking overnight or something?? I got news for Shields…..it ain’t GSP’s wrestling that he needs to be worried about…………
4-0-1 - who's got next???
What's up Sittingbull, do you think I forgot???
Yes!
I think this is actually a fight that GSP will be forced to strike. Shields is a GREAT grappler and a deadly submission artist. Gsp will easily find a place to land that new found jab. It’s lethal!

i agree ANS
If you look at the first Kos vs. GSP fight, Kos was being taken down and manhandled at will by GSP. Kos would later say he didn’t train wrestling too much against GSP as he never imagined he could be outwrestled.
What’s funny is Kos stepped it up for the rematch and was out boxed.

yeah, but its his only chance.
we would all be laughing our asses off if he enlisted the help of Mayweather Senior… to little to late.
"Gold medals aren't really made of gold.

and a hard-to-find alloy called guts"
There's really only one thing left to do........
bring in Apollo Creed to train him just like he trained Rocky for his 2nd fight against Clubber Lang……I think he had about the same amount of time to incorporate such drastic changes, making Rocky lightning fast and hard to catch …….it’s really the only way.

Chael isn’t the greatest wrestler, he’s the toughest. He’s good to have around though, the whole camp will benefit from having him around.
