Ever since he was defeated by Anderson Silva in the fifth and final round at UFC 117, Chael Sonnen has become arguably the most popular man in all of sports.
In fact, Sonnen’s been seen just about everywhere calling out Silva for a potential rematch.
His Twitter, The Jim Rome Show and even National pay-per-view television have all been platforms for his opinions.
One thing’s for sure: Sonnen’s put forth his best effort in doing everything he can possibly do to make the rematch happen.
And, while Sonnen may be at the top of the trash talking totem pole, he recently had some competition approach his thrown.
That man is none other than Nick Diaz.
Diaz, who’s always been considered one of the top trash talkers in sport of mixed martial arts, took it to a whole new level following his win against BJ Penn at UFC 137.
In his post fight interview Diaz addressed the highly talked about knee injury that George St-Pierre endured in training leading up to his bout at UFC 137.
Diaz stated,
“I don’t think Georges is hurt. I think he’s scared.”
Diaz went on to add,
“He’s scared to fight everyone right now.”
After trash talking one of the greatest fighters of all time, fans across the UFC began to compare Diaz with Sonnen.
Which leads us to one question, who is the better trash talker?
In order to determine this we broke the trash talking down into three main categories.
Length of trash talking
While Sonnen’s made it known to the world how he feels about Silva since his loss at UFC 117, Diaz has been trash talking for a long time, despite flying under the radar for most of it.
Advantage: Diaz
More humorous
While some UFC fans may find Diaz quite funny, it’s hard to compare to the remarks made by Sonnen. Not only are Sonnen’s statements down right hilarious, he says them with a straight face.
Advantage: Sonnen
Makes it personal
There’s no denying that St-Pierre probably took Diaz’s comments to heart in his post fight interview at UFC 137. But, it’s hard to compare Diaz’s statements to that of Sonnen’s, as he’s gone as far to insult Silva’s wife.
Advantage: Sonnen
And the winner by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) and still the greatest trash talker of all time, Chael Sonnen .
