Chael Sonnen TRASH TALK GOES TOO FAR: UFC SHOCKER

By Sean Farrell

Well everyone I am back, sorry for the absence I was very sick and it wasn’t pretty. But I return with everyone’s favorite loudmouth Chael Sonnen. Whether he is claiming that he let Anderson Silva win because he felt bad for him, or whatever other garbage he chooses to speak, Chael Sonnen recently continued his downward spiral away from reality at the UFC 133 Q&A session.

Sonnen managed to call out damn near any and everyone at the Q&A, most of whom were Blackhouse fighters from Brazil where Anderson Silva trains. Lyoto Machida, the legendary Nogueira brothers, Rich Franklin (who fights with Team Extreme), and Anderson Silva himself, were all brought up by Sonnen. He even went as far as saying the Nevada State Athletics Commission reinstated him “as a public service” and he will “burn Blackhouse down.”

At one point Sonnen was asked a question regarding the recent rise in the number of injuries in the UFC, and Sonnen got fired up and was once again in attack mode. Sonnen took particular exception with Lil ‘Nog and Rich Franklin, both of whom were scheduled to fight at UFC 133 but were dropped due to injury or simply pulling out. Sonnen told the audience that dropping out of a fight was like calling into work a month early and vowed that neither Brian Stann or himself would drop out of their fight for sickness or injury.

Sonnen returns to the cage to face Stann at UFC 136 on October 8th in Houston and I have never been more excited to see Stann’s right hand hit somebody in my life.
I understand there is a demand for Chael Sonnen because of his off the wall mindset, but does it really amuse people this much? It is just childish trash talking, this is exactly how I lost respect for Rampage and Rashad.
