Sonnen: UFC 134 trip to support Okami canceled due to threats of arrest

http://mmajunkie.com/news/24937/sonn...ice-threat.mma

basically, for what chael said bashing on the country of brazil, people are gonna beat him up or arrest him for his BIG MOUTH

worst part

its a POWERPLAY to keep OKAMI from WINNING the belt in RIO and thats just sad, cheating to win :(

im disappointed in you brazil! but mostly CHAEL even tho its just entertainment purposes

Boooooooooo

If video surfaced of him getting murdered in the streets of rio, I would cherish it forever. It would be the most exciting end to one of his fights ever.

Yikes sry to hear that.....I guess at the end of the day certain things u're better off playing it back on (discretion as the better part of valor). Should be a good fight regardless!

Are you saying that Brazilians are treating Chael in an unreasonable and unnecessary way? That they are being irrational and making bullshit threats to him? Because it sounds to me like he is getting a taste of his own medicine, now that he is not on his own turf for once. I think, like most people who talk big, he is really a coward. What does he think, that some Brazilian is going to break into Okami's training room before the fight and arrest him? What really happened, btw, is that Okami's sponsor asked him not to come because his big mouth would cause too much bad PR and hurt its Brazilian customer base. Then, he either made up the police threat or pretended that he was worried some small-town police chief would be able to walk into a UFC event and arrest him.

Uhh, yes it is unreasonable. He's a fighter and an entertainer.
One of those two things you are talking about can't be true-
either he is getting a taste of his own medicine because the
threats are real, or Okami's corner asked him not to come.
It's gotta be one or the other right?

It is ridiculous for a COUNTRY to feel threatened by one man,
if that is the case. Or even a city or a police force. Reminds
me of the US trying to get rid of John Lennon...irrational.

And a coward? Give me a break, or go step in the cage with Silva.

You have done some fucking WORLD CLASS trolling when a country denies you entry.

But they love him in Brazil! lol

I cant stand Sonnen.
He makes Americans look like fucking tools...and if I remember correctly...
UFC IS NOT THE FUCKING WWE!!!
Grow the fuck up, be respectful to other competitors!
