"It's kind of out of order. Nowadays, the UFC is prioritizing those fights which will sell well. A prime example of this was Chael Sonnen, who sold his fight very well. Overeem has followed the same path," hr told Brazilian radio station Beat 98.
"But, for me, bring it on. I do not run from any challenge, I know I can beat anyone whatsoever. Come whoever comes, I will do my best to go out with a win in the Octagon."

From Inside MMA last night:
“His mouth gets his him fights. What’s his name? How do you say his name? ‘Chael?’ His mouth gets his ass in trouble. The dude is exciting for like two minutes, but then you just wanna turn down the volume, like, ‘What the hell you talkin’ about?’ He sounds like he practices his stuff in the mirror, and then he goes out and says it. He’s a great wrestler. That’s all I’m gonna say, ‘cuz everything else sucks. He can’t punch hard. Look what he did to Anderson Silva. He did a great job holding him down, making a boring fighter out of a decorated champion, for five rounds. After the fight, I see that Anderson Silva didn’t have a mark on him. Not a mark.” “I talk trash, but I talk trash about people I’m actually gonna fight — people in my weight class. This guy, he talks trash about ring girls. He talks trash about the President. Now, that’s a little bit too much. He’s very disrespectful. I don’t like the guy. For real. The stuff he says about me. I like to joke around as much as anybody, but, for real, if I see Chael Sonnen, and he says anything to my face, I don’t know if I’m gonna smack him or not. I don’t know. I don’t like the guy.”
“Losing to a guy like Ryan Bader has lit a fire under my ass. I’m getting back in the gym and working on my new skills. My main focus is to destroy Glover Teixeira. It’s the last fight on my contract, and I’m gonna destroy Glover, then I’m gonna put my deuces up. There’s no love lost with the UFC. They’re a great company. They’re doing great things for the sport, but I just don’t think they’re doing great things for me.”
“Glover’s a tough guy. I like his fighting style. He’s a jiu jitsu guy, but he throws it. I respect fighters like him. I think the UFC and MMA needs more fighters like him. Fighters like Chael Sonnen are just ruining the sport, taking people down and just humping on them. Fighters like Glover can save MMA. I don’t understand why these guys are coming up with these elaborate game plans to win by decision. It’s like boxing.”

to be fair about the one finish in the last 11 fights, the guys he fought in those 11 fights haven't made a habit of being finished. Those 9 guys have been finished a combined 14 times in 252 fights, which is 5.555555%. I'm not saying he couldn't have tried harder to finish them, but some of those guys are extremely tough to put down.
True, but Chael is not about finishing fights. He controls, he grinds. He's not out there laying huge amounts of punishment. Hard to argue otherwise.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying it's not like those same guys are out there getting put away by just anyone is all. Chael did ragdoll Marquardt and Okami in impressive fashion, though.

"I absolutely think it was a bad decision for the sport," he said on Wednesday's edition of The MMA Hour. "It just makes the sport lose a little bit of integrity."
To be fair, Henderson said he didn't begrudge Sonnen taking the opportunity -- "Someone offers him a fight and great opportunity like that, why wouldn’t he take it?" he said -- and even said that he'd be happy to help Sonnen train for the bout, but said from a pure sporting standpoint, the fight makes no sense. Which leads him, like most, to the conclusion that the decision was made for entertainment reasons.
"I understand that [Dana White] does what he does for the UFC and always has, first and foremost," he said. "He tries to accommodate the fighters as he can, but it’s more about saving the ratings on The Ultimate Fighter show, and I understand that."

Guess who's going to be Chael's assistant coach yup Hendo.
Hendo, possibly Couture, and Vinny too. Jonesy is in trouble!

Shit like this makes me sick. The thinking that more MMA fighters need to be like Chael is a sad,sad thought and makes me worry for the future of this "sport".
