Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: Everybody wants to beat Chael Sonnen, who is 'not a good example for the sport'

When middleweight loudmouth Chael Sonnen gets to spewing his venom, it's usually spit in the general direction of Brazil and, more specifically, Team Black House.
That means going after such notable names as Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Jose Aldo and the Nogueira brothers (Rodrigo and Rogerio).
Typically, these men all remain respectful and avoid responding if possible. This is likely because a language barrier exists and/or they just enjoy taking the high road.
No fun.
Eventually, though, a crack in the facade is inevitable and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira finally chose to speak his mind a little bit (via Sherdog) on the man that said, "earning a black belt from the Nogueira's is like getting a toy with your Happy Meal at McDonalds."
"It sure would be a great fight [between us]. He's a guy everybody wants to beat. He's not a good example for the sport. He talks too much and says a lot of nonsense. He has a problem with Brazilians; he discriminates against us. He could find a way to promote a fight without speaking ill of anyone. I think it's a tactic he tries to use to destabilize Anderson [Silva] or whoever he faces, but he has to know that's not the way things work. In martial arts, we learn to respect each other. I'll never speak ill of another fighter. Sonnen disrespects others and has no principles or character. He's a guy that every professional fighter, at least on my team, wants to face."
Anyone interested in a scrap between Sonnen and Nogueira?
"Minotauro" is, of course, booked to hit the mat against Brendan Schaub at UFC 134 on Aug. 27 in Rio de Janiero but a loss in that fight may very well signal the end of his run with the world's largest fight promotion.
So why not, if the stars align, let him attempt to get some revenge for his team in a prospective match-up with the rather large middleweight in Sonnen?
Not likely. That means Nogueira (and the rest of Black House) will simply have to hitch their wagon to "All American" Brian Stann, who takes on Chael at the UFC 136 event on Oct. 8 in Houston.
Would you rather see Sonnen vs. Nogueira? Who wins if it ever happened?

Sonnen
is what the sport needs. The UFC reminds me of the PGA Tour – a love fest
You've been Dana'd
then its not for you.
i dont need to be played a storyline to enjoy a good fight. Sonnen is not being real, he’s playing a character to sell fights. You may fall for it, but I dont.
Fighting solves everything.
Sometimes it adds to the excitement. Like oh so Rich Franklin and Lil Nog are fighting? Cool, nice match up. So Jon Jones and Rashad are fighting? Holy shit, I wonder what is going to happen?
Storylines sell, not just in WWE
best summarization ever, i agree
Mark Hunt's Special Move: Oceanic Heritage! Years ago someone told Polynesian DNA that everyone was surrounded by sea monsters and it believed them. It made humans that were immune to head injuries, fast enough to run on the highway, and big enough to use the carpool lane. Putting two of them in the same ring is like telling your local tectonic plates to fuck themselves.

ufc or wwf
Even boxers trash talk but sonnen ortiz mir etc bring a pro wrestling level of drama. Dana loves the pro wrestling template and borrows heavily from it. the high priced ppv every month the random process of title shots hell even the silly trashy cage. Along with his use of spike and thq he knows what works and is beating the reality tv show to death with the drummed up drama. We are still a young sport

the problem i have with Sonnen
is he brings people hehas no business bashing under fire. he fights anderson so he feels the need to bad mouth EVERY brazillian fighter? And he picks out mostly guys who are leends and respectful and have paved the way for douches like him. he should be thanking Wanderlei and Mirko for helping the sport become what it is, not bashing them for losing fights. Trash talk your opponent fine, everyone around you? that just makes you a douche
So your saying Sonnen is the Happy Gilmore of the UFC.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

he's not what the sport needs, he's what the business needs.
unfortunately.
Fighting solves everything.
Hmm, but I don't think he's really needed...he hasn't fought in almost a year and the UFC has been putting on great shows...
I guess he’s entertaining at times…but other times it just seems like he’s trying toooooo hard
sonnen losing 4 fights in a row is what the sport needs
and by “the sport” i mean “i”

Its called paychecks my friend. He seriously has talked his way into big money. I give him crazy props for doing what he has done
Two of my favorite fighters, Anderson and Bones.
And yes I do, at the end of the day these fighters want to retire from fighting. Chael wasnt going to do that making 20K with the WEC. He came in and smashed the UFC’s top MW’s back to back, which should earn the title shot but he added to it with his trash talk. Got a huge fight with Anderson and got paid. Thats awesome for him
Chael is a can
He came in the Anderson fight on PED’s Anderson came in with a cracked rib and he still lost that’s fucking pathetic.

Yeah I guess that is awesome for him....but he would have been paid anyway, considering his performance..
…he didn’t have to talk trash to get where he is…in fact, if he was humble and respectful prior to his fight with Anderson and lost, people would be more sympathetic to his loss and would more so calling for a rematch…
You know they dont decide to give him money after the fight, they gave him that money because of what he did before the fight
They give money to the fighters after the fight....they're not going to know PPV buy rates and official gate numbers til after the fight
..also they give bonuses based on performance…which is determined after the fight
doubt it highly
Sonnen is a decent MMA fighter who is as boring in the ring as Fitch. w/out his mouth he is Okami

Sonnen is way more aggressive than Fitch...and obviously, judging by his number of submission losses, he takes risks...
Fitch takes noooooo risks
he loses by sub because his sub defense is god fucking awful and Fitch has amazing sub defense. sorry dude i just do not see much difference.

sonnen's subs
In my opinion chael isnt awful at jits it is simply his weakness with high level jits guys. He understands it and has trained it longer than most of us have even been watching mma. I believe it is his aggression and constant pressure that causes him to fall into these submissions over and over … and over again. He knows this but he just fights like he talks, without thinking too much

sonnen's style
I think chael’s style is impressive and exciting! The marquardt okami and silva fights i was on my feet over and over. He shows wrestlers how to entertain and control. I grew up wrestling in school my whole life so maybe i just appreciate that aspect of mma i myself as a low level pro mma fighter prefer to strike but chaels wreslting keeps the crowd cheering. Silva vs sonnen was easily fight of the year!

fitch and sonnen
The reality is that not every fighter can finish a fight. Everyone is a beast in the gym any given day but fight night its just hard to put it all together and make it happen. Finishing a fight isn’t easy and is actually a special thing. Controlling a pro mma fighter and shutting them down is impressive and is a legit way to win. Mma is an art and each person likes different aspects if you dont like one fight dont worry cause at least one fight on the card will speak to your preference. The more you like the easier you are to please

He doesnt try to be humble, he is. Its just that his mind thinks differently then the norm. You can tell by his talks of flying butterflys in formation and signing champion before he beat Shogun. He is just mentally on a different level.
yes. and that level is ego drivin douche master. i have abstract thoughts all the time and when i try to relate them to normal things, like my profession i, like everyone else, also sounds like a douche

For the record Jon is obviously a different kind of persont. You may be abstract but Jon is the most successful mixed martial arts fighter this entire year, so however his mentality is seems to be working regardless if a few bloggers think its douchey.
Tyson had a different mindset, Ali had one. Its what seperates people. I enjoy Jones mindset
cool and entirely your prerogative. i believe we all think differently from one another. mindsets are what separate individuals. expressions of those mindsets is what makes you a dick or not

I have always liked the guys who are not trying to be fan favorites by being fake. I have met so many fighters that are completely different in person then on TV. Why like fake people? You know what I mean, at least Jon doesnt try to please everyone.
i don’t get this. listen i am with out a shadow of a doubt a dick. i know this. besides my wife and my family (some of them anyway) and my very select close friends i do not care what anyone thinks of me. but, ad this is important, my clients think i am as sweet as candy. i need to be because that is what gets me paid. every person in the world is fake to some extent.

i get that. i’m responding to the “why like fake people” part……we are all a tad bit fake at different times and for different circumstances. as to Jones, he is a dick, i hope he gets paid as much as he can.

Again, he signs for kids. He would sign their shirt, or a picture, or a hat. Just not a belt. Get your shit straight.
Not signing belts for kids = not signing for kids. That’s turning a kid away because you are an ass. Whichever way you want to look at it, not signing for kids is an asshole thing to do.

If a kid brings him the belt, whats wrong with Jon saying look here is a picture here is a shirt, ill sign anything else.
He is in FACT still signing for anyone. Just not on titles.

just having a laugh. Chael is a good fighter, if not a little one dimensional. he’s a dick and needs to get his ass kicked (which he will) is he good for the sport, no he is not. will he effect the sports future either positively or negatively, i think not.

Oh i admire his wrestling skills and sheer tenacity.
Reminds me of chael’s former wrestling teamate Joe Warren. Now warren, i love his attitude. He’s not trolling, he’s simply jsut a dickhead and says it too. In fact in a recent interview, he was talking about how Chael is actually trying very hard to be a troll and that was the difference in their personalities. Warren admits that he’s not the most likeable person – hence the reason why i admire and like him lol

and he is 4-4 in the ufc, and he did go 0-3 against jeremy horn but he’s still a champ…right? oh no, he just says the same thing over and over but it’s funny because he’s making fun of people from other countries
Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.

This comment
is so good I want to marry it and have lots of little comments with it.
Steady like a river flow
You are moving way too fast for that comment.
Already talking about marriage and little baby comments. You gotta go slow, win it over with wine and dinner. Take it slow there champ, slow and steady buddy. You’ll get her.

World champions
but it’s the trash talk we’re discussing. Is trash talk good or bad for the sport? No it isn’t, look at those two.
Mauricio Rua
Jon Jones
Raping a women are telling everyone you’re going eat their kids? That’s justified?
Mauricio Rua
Jon Jones
Nah nah...but they were raping dudes in the ring...
…If Sonnen finished or beat Anderson, I would have less of a problem with him.

Tyson is a completely different case.
People drove him to be into the monster that he was. And once he became it, it wasnt an on and off thing just because he needed to sell fights. He was that the whole time with everyone. It’s the hanger ons and insects, the parasite that is Don King and absolute trash of the world constantly in his ears or on his case. Chael is just looking for attention trying to sell fights.
Sometimes, these things happen in MMA

TYSON is one of the best documentaries out there.
He was a monster of a person long before he was a world Champ (which is shocking being that he won it at what 23?). His mentality of drugs, violence, and crimes combined with fortune and fame (and a hell of an ego) at such a young age made furthered his certifiability .
Fuck Don King, and Fuck Jesse Jackson

Hopefully he can beat Shaub and Sonnen can win his next fight
That way they can talk shit about each other even more lol
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
The fact that he lost his last fight even while on PEDs.
And hasn’t fought in a year since yet we are still talking about him tells you all a lot.

Mauro: "Theres a left by Jackson…. or make that Randleman, sorry!"
Rampage: "Thats alright, all black folks look alike."

Did i say anything about super strength?
If it didn’t help him in any way, then there was no reason for him to take them.

I wasnt implying anything towards the PEDs
Simply that he knows how to promote himself so well that he can screw up in and out of the ring, not fight for a year, and we will still talk about him. He’s damn good at what he does regardless of whether its good for the sport or not.

Well you said he lost even though he was on PED’s implying that PED’s were supposed to give him a lock to win the fight.
Not a lock, but a potential advantage
If they didn’t do something positive for his fight preparation, (even if only perceived) he wouldn’t have done them. Are you imply there is absolutely no benefit to doing it in preparation for a fight? And if not, why do so many athletes do it?

Alot of athletes do TRT because they legitimately need it, if they dont take it they have low testesterone and their opponents now have an advantage over them
That's a load of horse shit
“low” for athletes is usually normal but called low by sports physicians so that trt isn’t looked upon as cheating and you have taken their word for it as if most athletes have actual low t levels . Wake up

Some fighters have natural raw talent that others have to work to achieve.
Doesn’t mean one gets special treatment the other doesn’t. If you have low testosterone because you did too many weight cuts as a teenager for wrestling tournaments as I’ve heard some claim as an excuse, too freaking bad imo. Now some guys may have a condition that just makes their body naturally produce less and honestly, I don’t know what to do. I can’t say I’m qualified to know where to draw the line. But as it stands. It is obviously not regulated properly. Plenty of people have things holding them back from fully achieving greatness in the ring, low flexibility, small frame, too tall, too short. We don’t create ways for them to have a better chance, they just do what they can with what they were given.

No pml
Most, if not close to all, pro athletes do not legitimately need it. A perfectly healthy male body just doesn’t stop producing testosterone at the age of thirty. Yeah it’s possible but extremely rare for anyone, much less a pro athlete. It doesn’t matter who you say you know (or what you think you know about them). When you take a testosterone based steroid for a period of time, your body’s natural way of adapting is to stop producing it. This is not an epidemic, or some kind of contagious virus being spread by all these athletes. This is the result of steroid use. Maybe not 100% , but very, very close. And by the way, it is a huge advantage.
