Sonnen being Sonnen

Quote :

"They have not given me a date but I'm pretty sure it's going to be
very soon. I think he wants to get me in there as soon as possible. The
director has been very stern with me. He was stern with me face-to-face.
But he's also been very fair with me. He leveled with me, I would love
to play poker with director Kizer, I'd clean him out. He's got no poker
face. He'll tell you it straight, he'll tell you exactly how it is. And
he told me I could come before his body as soon as I got done with the
federal thing and look forward for a second chance. I think it will
happen right away. I think it could happen as soon as this Friday. ...
I'm real confident that we'll be in there within the month of April and
we'll have resolution ... I had contact with the UFC, I reached out to
them. I said, 'Guys, give me the worst guy you've got under contract'
and you've got to understand, my focus has been in a lot of different
directions. Dealing with the federal government is a tough thing. Losing
a title fight that you put everything into is a tough thing ... I
called them up and I leveled with them, I said, 'Give me the worst guy
you've got under contract.' They said, 'Chael, Wanderlei won't fight
you.' I said, 'Alright, give me the second worst guy you've got under
contract.' They said, 'Chael, how many times do we have to tell you --
Cro Cop's a heavyweight.' I said, 'Alright, is there anybody available?
How about Bisping? Is his dance card open? And they said, 'That might be
a possibility.' That's where we left off. That just isn't my focus. My
focus is making things right with Director Kizer."

"The thing about Chael is when he does all these interviews, and he sounds crazy when he says ‘I'll fight any man God ever created.' He's telling the truth. When Rampage's initial opponent went down before all this fiasco was going on, before Hamill stepped in to take the fight, when that went down I was with Chael and he was like ‘I'd love to fight Rampage.' And I was like, ‘but you're a 185-pounder' and he was like, ‘I'd fight him in a heartbeat.' Fighting big fights at 205 would not be a problem for him."

"You have to find the best people to train with, and I think (Okami)
chose wrong. I’d never align myself with a loser, a loser in every
sense... He didn’t win the fight (between us), got caught doping, is
being sued for various things, and is suspended from the UFC. You want
to be a champion? Get with good people, with winners."
"Moreover, Sonnen wasn’t a tough opponent for me. I was injured with
cracked ribs and fought five rounds. If I hadn’t been injured, the
fight would have been different."

Machida is a gentleman. MMA is very cutthroat, and it's sweet that
Lyoto promised to never fight his girlfriend Anderson. That's
devotion... I'd beat up Machida on the way to the ring to beat up
Anderson, and I'll kick Nogeria's ass in the parking lot on the way to
my after party..." -Chael Sonnen

"It's like this annoying Jose Aldo that they've got number three
pound-for-pound. Hey guys, excuse me, but there's no such weight class
as pound-for-pound. There's no such title. The pound-for-pound does not
exist but just in this pretend world. Jose Aldo has made it all the way
to number three? Really? The same guy that was anointed UFC champion.
The same guy that was given the UFC championship belt before he ever
fought in the UFC. The only thing more absurd than that was the night
they woke Matt Hughes up and informed him that he was champion."

Wanderlei tells me that he's going to send me to the dentist. And
I'm thinking, 'the receptionist generally sets those appointments, but
if you know the phone number to my local dentist, I guess you could.'
Then I'm thinking, 'Is he threatening me? I'm an American gangster, you
are an immigrant from Brazil. Are you sure you want to go down this road
with me? That's a threat? It's funny when Wanderlei says he's got to
defend Brazil. Wanderlei's not popular in Brazil. Wanderlei, you are
from Brazil stupid, you left it. You pay taxes in America. You started a
business in America. You send your kids to an American school. You
employ Americans. You were made a millionaire by an American company. If
you love Brazil so much, why'd you leave it. It's cause he doesn't and
the Brazilian people know that. So this big gimmick that all these guys
like Anderson and all these guys that talk Portuguese and pretend
they're from there, what they like to do is act like, 'Oh, we're not
Americanized, we haven't even learned English, but then they run they're
businesses in complete English as they're taking your dollar and your
Mastercard. But on video they act like they haven't taken the time to
learn English and it's phony. Those Brazilians are all phony and they
suck."
"Hey Wanderlei, let me give you a threat. I will cut the power to
your house and do a home invasion. You will hear me climbing up the
stairs in a pair of night vision goggles I bought in the back of 'Solder
of Fortune' magazine. The next thing you'll hear is me picking the lock
of your bedroom door and taking a photograph of you in bed with the
Nogueira brothers working on your jiu-jitsu. I will post said photograph
at www.DorksFromBrazil.com with password: not required, username: not
required."

"I should be the reigning champion. I punch a guy 300 times, he
punches me a couple and they call him the champion? In what parallel
universe does that make you the winner? I am the champion. I've been the
champion. Anderson's ribs have the exact same problem that his hands
and his feet have, they're attached to a cowardly person. For Anderson
to say that he wasn't 100-percent, I completely believe him. Who cares?
But yeah, do I think his ribs where hurt? Sure. Why would I think they
weren't? He's the only one who could tell if they were hurt."
