    im gunna go with him fights, he comes to scrap, but the trash talk makes it all better in my opinion, like anderson silva he said everything in the book.
    me personally i thought anderson was gunna beat sonnen in 2 mins with a KO.but Sonnen backed it up....wonder if he will talk or respect stann.

    The guy is a compulsive liar. He cant even tell the truth about the situation around him being caught lying about putting it out in the open that he had low test and had it okayed with the ptb.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he tests dirty, or comes back and gasses in two rounds. Will be interesting to see how well he fairs when he's off the juice.

    His trash talk. I don't recall seeing him fight before Silva. I had to look up his fights against Maia and Marquardt.

    Well, he dominated Silva for 4 and 3/4 rounds. Nobody has done that.

    He treated Okami and Nate like a ragdoll, no one has done that. Not that Okami and Nate are the greatest but they are both powerful sturdy fighters and Chael threw them around and thats not how you visualize them getting beaten.

    Well, considering he hasn't fought since the Silva fight yet we still hear about him all the time because of the things he says, I'd say he's more famous for his trash talking.

    Trash talking, hands down. I'd never heard of Chael Sonnen before his verbal blitzkrieg of Anderson Silva. Of course, since then, it's just been more of the same.

    Was he always such a loudmouth? Or did he discover what an effective marketing ploy it is during the build up to the Silva fight?


    Edit: I'm admittedly a transient MMA fan

    He talked trash for the biggest fight of his career against Anderson ****ing Silva, was expected to be crucified in the first round and backed it up.

    Obviously he was subbed, obviously Anderson was injured and obviously he was on PEDs (no worse than what Carwin was on which was for an injury), but he still backed it up. His best asset is his motor mouth, and his trash talking. Foolishly, they took that element away from his next fight, which is a very bad idea.
