Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight number one contender Chael Sonnen is making the media rounds this week to help hype his UFC 148 title fight against Anderson Silva at the MGM Grand Garden Casino on July 7, 2012.

While I appreciate his efforts, this main event grudge match pretty much sells itself.

That hasn't stopped Sonnen from revisionist history, telling the gang at TMZ pretty much the same thing he told The Jim Rome Show earlier this week in that he only lost to "The Spider" at UFC 117 back in August 2010 because he didn't understand the unified rules of mixed martial arts (MMA) or how they were applied.

Uh huh.

He also touches on his past money laundering charges, his feud with Brazil, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), his new book and why he loves former President Richard Nixon.
