Chael Sonnen: Wrestler Avoidance

“For me, anything can change. The landscape changes all the time. But, currently, if we were to ask Dana White what’s going to happen, I’m going to take on the winner of Anderson and Maia. So I’m on standby.”

“Not ever has he locked up with a wrestler. I’ve been challenging with the guy for three and a half years, I’ve stuck my finger in this guy’s chest and he’s fought everybody in the world that isn’t named Chael Sonnen. So there’s something that he sees in my style that he’s just flat just staying away from… He has looked good, but it’s not hard to look good against some of those guys that he’s competing with. So you know I’m not here to put these guys down, but, from my standpoint, it’s a different style than he’s ever faced. People tell me how dangerous he is on his feet – he’s not going to be on his feet against me.”

Chael Sonnen on ESPN’s MMA Live continues the war of words towards UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva. After Sonnen’s dominant victory over previous #1 contender Nate Marquardt at UFC 109, Sonnen has been openly pining for his shot at Silva’s crown while simultaneously initiating his unique brand of pre-fight hype and psychological warfare.
