    Chael is much more popular here than I thought, according to the poll. :think

    Maybe the haters are just more vocal than the fans. :conf

    :hat

    He is an entertainer and does have balls. That much is true. But a fan of Chael Sonnen?

    MMA isn't Sunday school. Sonnen is entertaining and he can fight. At the same time I have very little respect for him. His entertainment value is higher than how much I dislike him.

    Chael is a lot more popular on here than I thought. :think

    I guess the haters just tend to make a disproportionate amount of noise with their crying and bitching. :conf

    Chael is good for the sport, and will have much to offer for this coming season of TUF.

    He knows how to sell a fight, I think a lot of fighters will follow in his footsteps.

    I reckon he'll be a really good coach for TUF as well. He strikes me as the kind of fighter who will care about his guys.

    I'd sure as hell be hoping I ended up on his team rather than Jones', anyway. He's vastly more experienced, has found a lot of success with ordinary natural athletic ability, and he seems much more of a relateable, engaging, "real" person to spend time with on a personal level. Jones carries himself like a prince who was born to be the king, and who wants to be a great king. Sonnen carries himself like a regular guy made good, who works very hard and is grateful for the life he's made. :good

    I don't think Jones quite understands what it's like to fight on an even or inferior footing physically. Sonnen, on the other hand, is all heart, sweat and guts. I reckon no-name hopeful fighters will connect with that a lot easier than they connect with the freak-athlete. :yep

    :hat

    I'm a fan because he is entertaining but he is a drug cheat and has managed to talk himself into the one of the biggest prizes in MMA.

    I didn't even mind him talking himself into the Silva fight though he deserved his shots. That was an intriguing style match up. He'll struggle to get strike or grapple with Jones. The only fun will be his intensity because he'll give it a go.
