The highlight of the show were Chael Sonnen’s (likely scripted) one-liners. From poking fun at himself, to taking shots at Wand and Anderson, “The Gangster from America” was on his game.
The highlight of the show were Chael Sonnen’s (likely scripted) one-liners. From poking fun at himself, to taking shots at Wand and Anderson, “The Gangster from America” was on his game.
What we learned from the show:
• Frankie Munoz and Arianny Celeste make a creepy couple
• Athletes aren’t very good readers
• Dana White was too busy eating sushi in Japan to attend the awards
• Our invite still hasn’t arrived (must have gone to the wrong address)
• Shawn Tompkins was a beloved coach in the sport and deserved the lifetime achievement award and to have the “Coach of the Year” award named after him
• There are a lot of “celebrities” we’ve never heard of
• Leonard Garcia is a good sport for accepting the award for “Submission of the Year” on behalf of “The Korean Zombie”
• Arianny had no idea she would win, but she just happened to prepare a prop for Chael “just in case”
• Chael was right, Anderson Silva DOES speak perfect English
• Roy Nelson’s mullet is fantastic
• Jon Jones doesn’t see anything wrong with saying “you guyses champion”
It’s not exactly breaking news that Chael Sonnen has the biggest mouth in the UFC and won’t hesitate to talk trash to anyone. But it was a little surprising when he made Arianny Celeste the topic of one recent salvo.
Sonnen said in an interview with Las Vegas Weekly that Celeste, one of the UFC’s Octagon Girls, should be called “the IQ card girl” because, as Sonnen sees it, Celeste is holding up her IQ when she walks around the cage holding up the round number during fights.
“Arianny kind of walks around and holds up her latest test score,” Sonnen said. “One time when there was a title fight, she got all the way up to five and we were very proud of her.”
The UFC Octagon Girls aren’t accustomed to getting into spats with UFC fighters, but Celeste found herself in the midst of such a spat when she heard about Sonnen’s comments. And so Celeste shot back at Sonnen on Twitter.
“Hey what’s ur name.. after @spideranderson kicks your ass..u won’t even be able to count to 5!!” Celeste wrote. “Get ready to kiss brazils ass! Talking crap about me In interviews is like when a boy picks on a girl he likes in 1st grade…GROW UP! Doesn’t work anymore sir! “
That was a surprising exchange, but during an appearance on The MMA Hour, Celeste said the way she hit back at him on Twitter prompted Sonnen to say he was sorry.
“I actually got an apology afterwards,” she said. “The beef has been squashed, until he talks again.”
And Celeste does expect Sonnen to talk again.
“I’m sure he’ll say something again, I don’t doubt it, but I’m the kind of girl who will always fight back,” Celeste said. “I’m not a little prissy girl. If someone says something about me I’m going to say something back. I don’t care who you are.”
