Relax people, know your opponent. He is from Croatia, where grey is the national color and mediocrity is the highest achievement possible.

Wrong!!! Way wrong!!! He's a entertainer selling tickets!!! Love or hate him it don't matter he's selling tickets! When you become the biggest entertainer you make the most money! Champion or NOT you make more money! Chael is great at it too. Bad or Good publicity sells. Muhammad Ali did the same thing in boxing and nobody talks bad about him now for it. He wants you to hate him, he's better off financially in the long run....he's just a shock jock. When they stop talking about you...that's when your career is over!
Fuck that!!!! Way Fuck that!!!! He is a joke, he is the joke, his career as a MMA fighter is a joke. He is the butt end of his own jokes. People talked about Ali because he backed it up. He was the greatest as he put it.
You right about one thing, and not much else. He is an entertainer, and he isn't acting like a fighter. Just about every fighter hypes fights, but no one else acts like a idiot like he does. He is a fake ass joke. The business is fighting, not making a mockery of everything that comes out of your mouth. His methods are a joke. That is the problem. You outlined things that are good for you pocket book, but there are ways of going about it and ways to not. His avenue is other than that of a fighter.
Liking Chael Sonnen is as silly as liking Steve Martin because he saved a Mexican Village from El Guapo with his cowboy skills. I like Steve Martin because he is a funny acting comedian and I hate Chael Sonnen because he is a fighter trying to be a comedy act.
Entertainers that sell tickets in that manner work for WWE and comedy clubs, and in my opinion shouldn't work for the UFC.
All fighters are entertainers. I'm not talking about WWE entertainment. I'm very entertained when I watch fights! Why do you think the UFC left Junie Browning on the Ultimate Fighter????Entertainment, Ratings, its a business. #1 priority of a business is to make money! UFC wants people talking. They want ESPN people talking, Entertainment tonight talking, all the media talking. The more buzz the bigger the events. They all talk when there's news worthy sound bites. Chael is the MMA Champion of sound bites and yes Chael is funny...But not to you I understand because there are certain ways a person should act and we don't live up to your high morals!
Now we should go to where you said something Retarded!!! Your Qoute "his career as a MMA fighter is a joke" Really, Chael fought for the UFC Title! Did you or anybody else on this forum fight for the UFC title? Against the so-called p4p champion and he beat him all 5 rounds until a triangle choke. In my book he's a pretty good fighter. If Chael is a joke fighter well we all suck. Most fighters never get a chance at making the UFC let alone fight for a title and almost wining the title. Champion or not he backed his shit up as fighter! Against one of the best fighters.
I'm still undecided. One minute he seems like a douche bag that adds nothing to the sport with his trash talk. Then he comes out with new material that gets me laughing again.
I love the drama. If Sonnen was a quiet dude no one would have cared that he got triangled at the last minute against Anderson. Now that he still won't stop talking it will be an even better fight to watch when they rematch (if it comes up down the road). Love him or hate him, he gets people emotionally involved in the fight and makes everything more interesting.
I didn't say he wasn't a good fighter. Read closely next time. I said his career as a MMA fighter is a joke. As in everytime he dogs on BJJ and how he insinuates that it is gay he gets submitted, thus making him the joke in my eyes. He doesn't back up his talk but one time, the last fight against Filho in which case it was not Filhos best mental fight. Either way, if I remember correct Junie Browning was cut from the UFC after a tirad that landed him in the press. That new right.
[QUOTE=Jack LaBarge;87069]But not to you I understand because there are certain ways a person should act and we don't live up to your high morals!
I never mentioned how people are supposed to act and I didn't bring my morals into this. I talked about how he is crossing lines in how to promote and what sport he is in. Yes he is an entertainer, but as I also said, he is in the UFC not in a comedy club or bar. He uses methods I don't like. So Fuck him.
Its stupid to say that I can't be judgmental of how someone carries himself because I have not fought for a UFC title. As far as him beating Silva for 5 rounds, yes he did, than he decided to say that he didn't lose because of it. Newsflash nuthugger, it doesn't matter, you lost, and you were doped up. So he can fuck himself and all the entertainment he has blown up your ass, its worthless to me and not apart of the fight game. I would rather listen to a fighter hype it up differently, say how any of the other actual Champions do.
Also notice, I never said I thought the UFC should fire him for being neither a bad fighter or dumb ass. I just think he is a dumb ass and sited reasons for such opinion. I know he is good and that he sells tickets and for that the UFC will keep him, but don't get it twisted he'll stay in the UFC until he isn't winning again or until he isn't an entertainer in the cage, not because he is a joker outside of the cage. Look at Wanderlei, he stays in the UFC because he is entertaining in the cage and doesn't act a fool.
Hahaha...you are ridiculous sir. He's not acting like a fighter? Give me a break,
he IS a fighter, and that's how he acts....everyone doesn't subscribe to your high
horse bullshit. We don't all have to act in the manner you deem appropriate to do
the things we want to do. And you still don't get it. Look how much you're losing
by continuing this conversation. This part of your day is built around Chael Sonnen.
Chael Sonnen has entered your mind multiple times today. You can't stop thinking
about Chael Sonnen. Chael Sonnen needs to be stopped. I can't believe anyone
respects Chael Sonnen. Why won't people listen to me about Chael Sonnen. Chael
Sonnen doesn't act like a fighter. Chael Sonnen isn't even a good comedian. Liking
Chael Sonnen is as silly as liking Steve Martin.....
Chael Sonnen
your still ranting about this troll shit. He is a figure in the spotlight of a sport that I watch very closely. Of course he is in my thoughts. Get over this troll kick. If everyone thought about not being trolled as much as your making it apart of the game then nobody would be able to follow the UFC. He is a douche bag plan and simple.
oh and I'm a multi-tasker.
