"Sonnen is a great fighter. I've been in the trenches against Sonnen several times and seen what he is capable of when he is on, and [I've seen] what he does well. I would never disrespect Sonnen by saying, ‘Jon will roll right over this guy. That's a gimme fight.' Those fights don't exist. I've been a veteran of this sport for 20 years. I've done more corners than anybody, by far. I've seen examples of things that we should have 100-percent won -- just walked over people -- and it's either a tough fight, or we lose. [Sonnen is] a heavy pressure fighter. He gets inside your range really well. Sonnen is a guy who is left-handed, and he brings a different kind of style than what Jon has faced before, which is exciting for both myself and Jon. [Sonnen's] grinding, in-your-face style can be nullified. There's no doubt we can nullify it, but it is a little bit different than everybody thinks it is. Losing to Anderson Silva twice doesn't mean that [Sonnen] is washed up or that he's not effective as a fighter. He's actually a very good fighter, and he deserves a lot of respect."

Dana, Bones, Sonnen, Greg Jackson. They couldn't have put together 4 bigger douchebags if they tried.

I don't see what Greg said there that was moronic.

The part about this actually being a legit fight. The part about Chael deserving even an ounce of respect from anyone. It's pretty comical/delusional.

Saying the fight is legit is bullshit on Greg's part not moronic.

I may dislike Sonnen but I do respect the guy he's a fighter after all.

It's moronic because he actually expects us to beleive him.

Chael is many things, a fighter is pretty far down the list. Certainly not what he is best known for. It's absolutely not what got him this fight. Being a fighter had no factor in it. I don't respect him for so many reasons. No one should.

It's Greg's job to sell the fight.

Actually that responsibility is not his. His is to train fighters who hire him. The promoters job is to promote and sell the sport to interested parties.

Chael doesn't deserve anyone's respect and this is a gimme fight. Pretty easy to see.

Yeah that would be a great attitude to have as a professional trainer

Why is he even coming out with this anyways? It's an attempt to convince people this matchup isn't a combo of LOL and facepalm. But we know better.

He was being interviewed by Breen and Savage and they asked him about it
