Quote :

We got lots of guys that are animals, you know what I mean," Dana asked Mauro Ranallo on The Fight Show. "Like (Chris) Leben. Leben wanted the fight. Leben wanted to take the fight, Chael Sonnen wanted the fight. But those guys are 185-pounders. And I appreciate their desire, their fire but no, we want guys that are 205-pounders that are real fights at 205."

DAMN! Sonnen vs Evans would have been off the hook! But you gotta love Leben, the Motherfucker just fought and he wantsto fight again...

Fucking brown nosers.

Sounds like some real men to me.

Jon Fitch should have called up Dana to pretend he wanted to fill in too, could have got some brownie points for sucking up when he knew he wasn't a realistic option. Might have put him in line for a title shot. What a suck up move.

Chael would've whooped Rashad's ass

I don't think you really believe that. Gun to your head, doubt you pick Sonnen.

Leben would have received a pimp beatdown from Shad, Sonnen on the other hand gives Shad an extremely tough fight.

You said to Bobbitt that he overrates his boy. You overrate your boy much worse.

LOL OK

Sonnen can be a tough fight for anyone who doesn't understand how to clamp on a triangle choke well...

Better wrestler, way better cardio and tough as fuck to finish on the feet. I'd have zero problem picking him to beat Rashad who I feel is one of the most overrated fighters in the game today

Way better cardio? I seem to remember Chael being pretty beat up and tired after 3 rounds with Mrs.Marquardt. Even though Rashad is a LHW and Chael is a MW I think Rashad is the quicker and more explosive fighter and I think he would be able to avoid the Sonnen wrestle fuck. I don't like Rashad anymore then I like Chael but I just don't see Chael winning that battle.

Sonnen has the size and wrestling pedigree to give Shad the fits.

Personally I like the story lines that either of these fights would have provided. Why not roll with the 2 "animals" who are willing to fight in a higher weight class?
