    I don't know that I can cross over to the dark side, and become a fan, because Sonnen has done so much bull****. The real estate thing, talking **** about Lance Armstrong and getting busted for cheating himself, refusal to give Anderson respect after the first fight, etc... But he is starting to grow on me a little.

    I thought he showed a lot of character in the way he conducted himself after the 2nd Silva fight. I also like how he was willing to step up and fight Jones on a week's notice.

    Another thing I liked was when he showed a bit of his human side when he broke character while at a press conference in one of scenes of the Anderson Silva documentary Like Water.

    I'll probably keep rooting against him, but I can't hate him anymore.

    I honestly think people need to try separate Chael the character and Chael the competitor/athlete. I became a fan due to his **** talking which is weird because usually I hate people who do it but he never came across as arrogant to me. Agree with you tho, I became a bigger fan after his last fight, the way he handled himself in defeat was amazing.........good to see he's back to his old self haha

    I am the same, I'm starting to come around to him. Especially once you realize he doesn't even really believe the stuff he says, he's like a pro wrasslin character. At least I hope so :lol:

    I'm surprised jones turned down the fight in the first place. I really don't think Sonnen has much to offer Jones in a fight....but Greg Jackson wouldn't of had time for his "gameplan" on Sonnen.

    This is why it's all very strange.

    Sonnen would hardly be a drastic change in gameplanning from Henderson and is a pretty easy fight for Jones. Why turn it down when just days before he said he wanted to make money(which he certainly would with Sonnen) and weeks before that had said he'd "fight Sonnen in a heartbeat".

    Offering to help King Mo and Mark Munoz with their medical expenses while they were out injured was pretty classy. Also that he himself didn't publicize that he he did that to look like a good guy.
