I’ll say this for Chael Sonnen – the guy knows how to follow through on a plan. Even when the plan calls for him to be completely obnoxious – perhaps especially then – Sonnen sticks to it. He sees it through to the end. Maybe he even enjoys it.
Consider his successful bid for a title fight at UFC 117 with middleweight champ Anderson Silva. The plan called for winning some tough fights (beating Yushin Okami and Nate Marquardt in the span of about four months is more than most men could do), but it also called for a campaign of verbal warfare that would make Apollo Creed blush.
