Saying Chael Sonnen is outspoken is like telling someone Roy Nelson is stocky. Both statements are accurate, yes, but at the same time, don’t convey the full reality of the situation. Sonnen has never met a mic he didn’t want to alarm (we’re talking MMA here, not fighter / part time campaigning Republican) while Roy evidently has never met a diet he cared for (and ask Brendan Schaub or Stefan Struve if it matters).
Sonnen’s gift for shocking gab led us to invent our own term for the ‘what did he just say?’ comments he’s infamous for- we call them Sonnens. Now depending on who or what Chael is discussing, some may find Sonnens hilarious, or at other times, infuriating. We’re guessing that if you’re a huge Anderson Silva fan, lately you may be finding the Sonnens less than amusing. Over the last couple of weeks Chael has tweeted a few zingers in Silva’s direction, but more recently, he took aim at the middleweight champ’s manager, Ed Soares.
Ed, pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you.
WTF? With a Sonnen like that where do you begin? (And we’re assuming he’s referring to Soares, otherwise Edwards across the world better retrace their steps) Soares has always rallied to his fighter’s defense, so, participating in verbal warfare would certainly be nothing new…could this have something to do with this past weekend’s reported meeting between Anderson and Chael? UFC 117 here we come..
