Chael Sonnen 'Backstage' video: 'Fedor Emelianenko sucks'

And so do most of the PRIDE fighters including "Cro Cop," Wanderlei Silva and "Kid" Yamamoto, which, according to the former middleweight number one contender, is why they can't win fights in America.

Chael Sonnen is back, ladies and gentlemen. For better or for worse.

Maybe the Choke Artist 5000 should win a belt before he comments how other fighters suck.

Seriously, we all know Bono is a number two and that is why he is always number one to make up for it. Where does that leave Choke Sonnen? A stink shit that can’t get over the stanky shit hump? (Shit hump sounds like a Mr. Layhe term lol)

Because all cheaters get caught. He’s a cheater and anyone that doesn’t think so is naive.

Two The french have the worst testing program in the world and suck three times the rate of a hoover. Or number 3 he is innocent and never really doped. Lets see which one i the real answer.

The sport’s world governing body, the UCI, has hit back strongly at the accusation by Tyler Hamilton, a former team-mate of Lance Armstrong, that it colluded in covering up a positive test by Armstrong for the banned blood booster EPO.

Hamilton told CBS’s 60 Minutes that “people took care of” a positive test for the seven-times Tour de France winner during the 2001 Tour of Switzerland – just months after a test for the previously undetectable EPO was ratified. The programme also claimed that Armstrong and his team director, Johan Bruyneel, met the director of the Swiss anti-doping laboratory – a meeting arranged, they said, by the UCI. Together, said Hamilton, they “figured out a way for it to go away”.

The UCI has responded by rejecting the claim and threatening legal action against Hamilton, 40, who is serving an eight-year ban for his second positive drugs test. In a statement, the governing body said: "The UCI is deeply shocked by the seriousness of the allegations made … and wishes to state once again that it has never altered or hidden the results of a positive test. The allegations of Mr Tyler Hamilton are completely unfounded. The UCI can only express its indignation at this latest attempt to damage the image of cycling by a cyclist who has not hesitated to abuse the trust of all followers of cycling on several occasions in the past.

OK, let’s go with this line of thought for a minute. Cycling in general and the Tour de france in particular need a successful Lance Armstrong to increase viewers, sponsorship money, etc.

If this is true, then why would French newspaper L’Equipe, which also owns the TdF, work so hard to try to bust Armstrong, going as far as to plant empty vials as “evidence” in his hotel room? Seems to me that flies right in the face of their self-interest and your latest failed theory.

And a half dozen other riding partners are all calling bullshit. There are two riders, Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis, who claimed to have first-hand knowledge of Lance doping.

Landis has been thrown out of professional cycling for life, sold a book proclaiming his innocense to raise money to try to keep his TdF title and later admitted he cheated and that his book was a lie and he defrauded thousands of people who believed his story.

Hamilton, who is also permanently banned from pro cycling, had the same accusations against Lance conveniently coincide with the time he was shopping a book. Neither of them could possibly have any motive to make shit up could they?

I agree. Don't like the dude but like what he brings

until you give him more than 140 characters to express himself. His rants get too long. His humor becomes stale. He is trying too hard now. I laugh at the first 10 seconds of every question he answers and then wish he’d stop.

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far is as needed?

If he didnt test positive that means he tested for the normal levels of testesterone.

TRT is something that is a legitimate treatment if needed. Regardless if people say well if they did previous steroids they need it or whatever the case.

Alot of people experience low testesterone which could also be caused by pituitary gland problems. If someone is low then they will be fatigued quickly and sluggish so they would be at a disadvantage.

Guys who take it are monitored by doctors so that they get treated to be the normal levels based on their age, health etc. Chael was caught for elevated levels pre Anderson. Not for the Nate and Okami fights which means his levels for normal.

So did he have high testesterone for Anderson yes. But not anytime else.

Is that confirmed? Taking testesterone is not the same as doing steroids. What Nate tested positive for years ago, what Cerrone, Tim, Sherk, etc tested positive for were much different.

I'm lost

Taking steroids IS putting testosterone into your body. Isn’t it?

Yes it is.

PMS is trolling again.

Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group.

Thats correct Free, it is from the androgen group. But it is something our bodies naturally produce. You are currently at this very moment producing the exact thing inside your body. You dont produce Nandrolone however at the levels that say Tim took them. But you do produce Androgen much faster then Chael does.

by PML on Jul 7, 2011 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions  

Also TRT is often called Androgen REPLACEMENT therapy, implying that it was once there and now needs to be replaced.

Steroids are chemicals put into the body that were not there before to enhance attributes Artificial enhancements not natural.

by PML on Jul 7, 2011 11:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

Difference being the steroids you are implying are anabolics, non-natural to the body. Testesterone is a natural enhancement that is natural for most men, deficient in others.

Reason I defend Chael for TRT is because he has never been caught using steroids previous, Nate has. So Nates might be self inflicted. I actually have a friend who is in fact licensed to use TRT and compete in MMA. I saw him prior, had crazy short term memory loss. Always sleeping. Got tired way more rapidly then anyone.

I know you are just a troll, so I will just say this and then stop supporting your habit:

I am not trying to “troll” you or whatever that even means but look its very similar to putting Iron in your body with Iron pills when you have low Iron.

Of course it can be abused but our body already makes testesterone. Naturally. When you have a defiency in it you must replace it to stay at a normal level.

Much different then taking anabolics or any sort of non natural steroids. Lets put it this way if you do TRT there are not any side effects like those of anabolics

by PML on Jul 7, 2011 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

And I agree with that Jay, if he found a loop hole and in fact does not need it then I do have a problem.

But TRT is a real thing, people actually do need it. My teammate is 21 years old and needs it. Never did steroids always had a pretty healthy life. But like I said for so long was he always tired, always fatique quick and had horrible memory loss. He went to the doctor and got him on TRT.

He fights in MMA, has fought in different commissions and his TRT is accepted. He doesnt use it to cheat he uses it to be on a level playing field.

That’s what I meant by talking out of your ass. You have absolutely no clue.

What are the side effects of testosterone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy is associated with some side effects, including:

- acne or oily skin
- mild fluid retention
- stimulation of prostate tissue, with perhaps some increased urination symptoms such as decreased stream or frequency
- worsening of sleep apnea (a sleep disorder that results in frequent night time awakenings and daytime sleepiness)
- decreased testicular size
- decrease in sperm count, producing infertility (especially in younger men)

Alright great you looked it up, thats good to know your stuff. But honestly your missing the point here. You make testesterone all day long in your own body, some people have a problem producing it.

Steroids such as anabolics are taking for enhancement, TRT is done as replacement. Much different.

And also, those side effects come from the abuse of TRT not when its regulated medically. Because when its done to achieve normal levels it is just like you and I producing it on our own.

I dont mind you saying that to me because at the end of the day I see first hand the effects of TRT. It has become a very common topic in the gym.

The side effects go hand in hand with anything of the sort, when you abuse it. Pain killers have side effects if abused. TRT done correctly is very low risk in terms of side effects. I have seen it for almost a year now and never has any of those side effects flared.

AA was on a 5 fight win streak before he lost to Fedor and went on his getting KO'd spree

Tim’s fight with Fedor was the last time he made the 265 lbs weight limit for HW. I’d say he broke them.

Rich was a the LONG TIME #2 MW. And he was crushed twice. Also Rich has made for a nice career afterwards including a win over Okami. Hendo grappled as well with Anderson and when Hendo knocks Fedor out it will be funny to see what you have to say then. Haha..

W/e jay, like beating Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Vitor Belfort etc.. is/was never an accomplishment for anyone after Randy beat them just cause it was Randy. That’s some grade A trolling.

And Tim is getting shit for coming into fights at 300+ lbs, not training and in general purposefully being a joke. Fedor was the last serious fight he had, where he made weight.

Tim wasn't disinterested in the sport

He was getting paid 800k to fight the #1 ranked HW in the world, when he lost he was no longer welcome in the UFC and Affliction went under after 1 more event. I’d say he was kicking himself in the ass pretty hard after that fight.

To be fair, how many years has he fought in America vs how many years he fought in Japan?

All these guys mentioned got here in their 30’s and they’d all seen better days before coming over. Fedor was the only one who hadn’t started to decline yet, but it’s inevitable, you can’t fight nature.

Say what you want about Chael

the guy is funny as fuck, and very entertaining

that interview was 20 minutes and i wish it was longer

by Newfie3 on Jul 7, 2011 12:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Agreed Newfie

Chael is funny as fuck and tough as fuck. Who would you rather listen to get interviewed, Anderson or Chael? Sure, Chael does spew some bullshit and exaggerations but a lot of what he says is true and he doesn’t pull any punches or attempt to be politically correct.
Probably, the part I dislike least has to do with his loss to Anderson and him continuing to say he didn’t lose the fight. But the parts about Wand/Brazil, Hughes, Pride Fighters and p4p are pretty good assessments.

by Adam T. on Jul 7, 2011 12:44 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah that bothers me too

he says that all Anderson did was wrap his legs around his head, but in this sport, thats all you need to do

His assessment of Wandy is pretty good

by Newfie3 on Jul 7, 2011 12:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeap, regardless of some of his delusions

such as potentially being put to sleep by Anderson’s legs, Chael is refreshing and absolutely hilarious. And he tells more truth than bullshit. Can’t wait to see him fight. I normally wouldn’t root against a solid dude like Stann but I want to see Chael back in title contention.

by Adam T. on Jul 7, 2011 1:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

He says he didn't really lose because he threw the fight

He knew he was gonna get popped for those “procedural violations” and that if he won and was stripped of the belt it would be such a PR nightmare for the UFC that they’d never let him fight there again (see Josh Barnett). But if he LOST and got popped…then he’d get another chance. Simple matter of covering his ass and keeping his career. He knew there was no way he could lose a decision. He had completely made good on his promise to make the fight a “one sided pounding with me swingin’ the hammer”. And he knew the Commish was giving him funny looks regarding his notification of his TRT, so he had a choice, either win, get publicly stripped of the title and banned from the UFC, or lose and be remembered as the most exciting challenger in history and make a glorious comeback.

I dunno, can't decide, but you have to admit it's very plausible.

I love Sonnen’s dry wit and love him even more for making good on his promise to beat Silva’s diva ass. But even during that fight, in the fifth round before Silva threw up the triangle, I was saying to the guys at my table “What the hell’s Sonnen doing leaving his arm laying on Silva’s chest like that?!? Is he getting tired and lazy or just overconfident? He better watch himself or he’ll screw this up!” 30 seconds later, my worst fears were realized and all my dreams shattered. And when the news came out that he’d gotten popped in the post-fight drug test, the above scenario naturally came to mind. You hate to think anyone would throw a fight, but if the Commish was already making an issue of the TRT when Sonnen “disclosed” at the weigh-ins, and Sonnen knew it was gonna blow up in his face, this would be his only way of saving his career in the UFC. With the UFC struggling to gain legitimacy in the mainstream sports media world, they can’t afford a PR nightmare like having a Champion stripped for “performance enhancing.”

"Who's da MASTA?!!!"

I think it's definitely plausible. I hadn't even thought of it before now though.

It was strange the way he was owning Silva for 23 minutes than let him slap the triangle on. I mean, he’s known for horrible sub defense, but that sub was gift wrapped.

You just don't get it.

He says Fedor sucks. He says JMMA is fake.

Then he tells a story about the Noguiera bros confusing a bus for a horse, and acts surprised that Brazilians own computers.

He might as well hold up a sign that says: “I’m kidding. All of it. It’s exaggerated, and I’m kidding.”

It doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want when you’re kidding though, so I understand why some people are offended.

I just don’t see how anyone could watch this and not laugh out loud at any point.

The only reason why chael bashes japanese mma is because american mma favors wrestling and lay n pray fighting. In japan they would stand you up. Also he says he landed 300 punches on Silva. Maybe iam stupid but if you hit a man 300 times in a dominant position and didn’t finish the fight that means you suck.

No Newfie

Saying “I wouldn’t care if he were murdered” and “I wouldn’t shed a tear if they were” are different statements. I would care but I wouldn’t weep and cry about it. The latter statement also doesn’t imply that they “want” that person murdered.

Look, I’m not trying to be argumentative, but the statement was both ironic AND hypocritical. The definition of “verbal irony” is: “a figure of speech in which what is said is the opposite of what is meant.” While he was probably not using verbal irony on purpose, he did nonetheless. I’d have left it alone, but you (mainly OJR) said I was wrong, and…well…I wasn’t.

I dunno about racist, but definitely biased.

Rampage has talked about his love/hate thing with PRIDE and the Japanese fans. They loved him as a character, as a sort of embodied stereotype, so long as he played into that role. But he’s also said he felt they didn’t treat him fairly from an employer/employee standpoint. And he also had a big problem with the judging, even going so far as to openly disagree with some decisions that went his way and apologize to the fans when he felt he had been “given” a decision that he hadn’t really won, and offering his “robbed” opponent an immediate rematch.

by (shonuff) on Jul 7, 2011 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

PRIDE was definitely biased

It wasn’t scripted, but a lot of those refs were crooked as hell. The fight Newfie mentioned is a classic example. Rampaged his ass off to get the fight where he wanted it and then the ref immediately stood him up, giving Wandy a yellow card for stalling, but giving him a get-out-of-jail-free card at the same time. The refs, judges, (and their Yakuza bosses) definitely favored certain fighters, and gave unfair advantages in a lot of situations, but Wandy still knocked the shit out of most of those guys.

I think the big difference between the performance of the PRIDE legends then and now is due to 1) Enforcement of substance rules. 2) Cages favor wrestlers, ring ropes handicap them. 3) Wear-n-tear. The epic wars in PRIDE (and the substances that inspired them) take a cumulative toll on the body.

Chael, you really think you beat Silva?

Chael claims that the fact that he hit Anderson 300 times means he won the fight vs. the 8 seconds Anderson had his legs around his neck. He even said that in his home town, he would be considered the winner.
That’s absurd! In a real fight, Silva would have killed him (literally) as he was chocked unconscious. I’m not arguing for death matches, but to say a leg choke is an undeserving way to win is ridiculous. He lost. I was rooting for him, but he lost. He tapped.
In a real fight, no matter how many times he hit him, he would have died from asphyxiation.
