Chael Sonnen interview with UFC Connected

Chael Sonnen recently did a sitdown interview with UFC Connected. He talked about Fedor vs Hendo, Womens MMA, Brian Stann, Rampage Jackson and more.

[@SuparyeN]

Here we are 7 years later... they just fought a few days ago in HW division just not in the octagon. The 2 funniest fighters of all time and my favorites! I've went funny videos spree of these guys!

[@turtles6610]

Chael is a genius. The way he flips stuff from nothing is phenomenal.

[@WashedCoachWith3Chips]

I loved this version of Chael!!! The real MMA fans will agree with me when I say before Conor McGregor we had Chael P. Sonnen.

[@ziggler1991]

chael sonnen is the funniest man on the planet

[@sylar323]

Chael is the best entertainer in the UFC before the Silva fight he was not known by the majority of MMA fans, but now he is one of the most talked about fighters, incredible talker and fighter.

[@jamesglory1]

Thank you for the enjoyment and your professional drive Chael. I think it is only a matter of time before YOUR belt is back on your waist again! God bless you and yours, from the UK

[@meatitarian]

Chael brings the expression "brutally honest" to a whole new level!

[@Glgudmundson]

Chael's right. Fedor's fights in japan were faked. Thats the reason Dan Henderson KOed him in the first round

[@paleo704]

Derik Alexander So were Dan Henderson’s fights in Japan also fake?

[@nhdarling2]

chael needs his own tv show, cause he is awesome

[@MrSomename89]

Canadian: I guess you do not agree or consider him (Fedor) to be the greatest Heavyweight of all time? Chael: I don't have anymore to comment, it's just silly. HE'S 3-2 GUYS, if that makes you the greatest of all time...ok. I'm not gonna...(sigh) HE'S 3-2. Canadian: What about his battles with the likes of Mirko Cro Cop, Nogueira, Randleman, Mark Coleman? You have to respect those performances, & those comebacks & those victories. Chael: Look guys, HE'S 3-2... ROFL take that Fedor's bitch

[@MetalTampon]

Chael is the greatest human being to ever have lived.

[@weefeatures]

'notice how I can give my opinion without insulting you, you should try this one day if you IQ allows you to' You say you won't insult him, the instantly insult his intelligence lol!

[@MrCole0309]

only one person in the world can call out anderson,wanderlei,fedor and the entire 205 div in one interview.... rock on Chael!!!

[@lightningsmokerXx]

That fight should totally happen. NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

[@JM1993951]

The highlight of this video is his rant about Fedor. Not that I believe that all of his fights were cash influenced, but it's funny how he wins all of his fights in Japan and Russia then goes 3-3 in the U.S.

[@Steveyoung47]

Sonnen = LEGEND.

[@freakman707]

By the way Chael clarifies his thesis Japan ( he never said "Pride") fighting in the ufc Fight club Q and A interview...

[@FuckNorm]

and a general comment on the video...to all the chael haters...he talks and says what he says to get attention in the media......if you were in his spot you would realize it would be the smart thing to do as well...but every time theres people pulling out of fights or negotiations, this guy is always at the front of the pack with his hand raised and ready to fight...wheres silva and machida? avoiding fights at all costs

[@SharkyssMachine]

this guy is everywhere

[@Kingtoma423]

Chael is a genius and a warrior and he trains with hendo! Enuff said.

[@Newton240sx]

I think he is honest other than about the upcoming silva fight. if you watch the first fight between silva and okami you will see that silva was dominating him even before the illegal kick

[@imhungry4444]

"yushi okami is gonna beat anderson"? this is coming from the guy that said jake shields is gonna beat GSP? gimme a break

[@TheBrokenCage]

I like that Fedor's Pride fights don't count, but Henderson's title win at 183 pounds does. Chael's schtick can be confusing sometimes.

[@DecaMMM]

the interviewer is so Robotic

[@MattitudeStatus]

Chael Sonnen is the best personality in MMA. Take Notes Pro Wrestling.

[@Tommy9834]

Cahel vs Rampage, imagine that, two comedic trash talkers. I'm more interested in the pre-fight talk more then the fight itself.

[@17wildoutt17]

Tommy9834 it happened

[@mr2nut123]

At least he makes fun of his triangle defense. If it wasn't for this Silva would have been stomped soooooo bad. I think he's gonna have a hard time with Stann at 136 but hope he wins. Good luck Sonnen

[@sm0keyMcP0t420]

Damn, never afraid to tell it like it is.

[@XcessiveZ]

The best.

[@SirPraiseSun]

its beautiful here in oregon ill send u a postcard ROFL AHAHAH freakin hilarious

[@JeffPenaify]

no it was because he was out of his prime. Fights with Nog Hunt Cro Cop Tim Sylvia etc. werent fixed

[@WrestlingPhenom800]

@Fazotronic I actually did go back to my WWE and pro wrestling. alot can change from a comment made 4 months ago my friend. God bless :)

[@STEVEPOKE]

Chael should run for office..for real.

[@sonnybrown4758]

I'd like to see Fedor and Chael meet and see if he has the same trash talking mouth then.

[@17wildoutt17]

Sonny Brown it's happening

[@jonathandodd1167]

And he lost unfortunately

[@martinjamesglasgow]

I can barely understand what Rampage is saying

[@TheFlanker47]

Chael = TAAAP!!! TAAAAAAP!!!! lol

[@St_Brelade]

Sonnen doesn't think PRIDE was fake he thinks it was fixed. His argument is that Wanderlai, Cro Cop Fedor and others did so well in PRIDE and have struggled on American soil under the Zuffa Bandwagon. I like PRIDE and Sonnen it's just Sonnen being himself to get people talking about him.

[@Tommy9834]

@COPEandMMA But there is a difference between passing the drug test administered by the commission, and just accusation. Chael had more then accusation against him.

[@vulcanman64]

Chael can be irritating and arrogant but he is brutally honest.

[@WrestlingPhenom800]

Robespierr is not joking. Anderson Silva has the belt but Chael Sonnen is the real champ. Chael sonnen asked a math teacher to watch his belt for him like only 15 mins and when chael came back he found the math teacher got beat up by anderson silva and the noguira bros and they took his belt and ran off in a limosine. thats why the champ doesnt have his belt with him. because in the Ufc you dont settle things with words you settle them in the octogon. Sonnen will get his belt back in the rematch

[@erns928]

@Tommy9834 that would be a sick fight lets see how good eachother is mentally phycially and verbally

[@philipmcauley]

@villian728 Showdown Joe is pretty decent, was probably just the delay.

[@TommyRay2222]

I only agree with half of what Chael says and im a huge fan LOL! I am a fan of Chael because he is a great fighter not because of what he says. I dont blame chael for talking because it puts eyes on him. But I dont like when he talks down on Fedor and Wanderlei. Chael makes great points then says something ridiculous the next sentence lol. I like he admits to needing work on triangle defense lol. If Chael had sub defense he would kill everyone!

[@WrestlingPhenom800]

Chael was right about Fedor Vs Hendo. except now Fedors 3-3 Now hahahaha! But ya know I dont like the guy whos interviewing him. Seriusly Chaels being a real nice honest man during the interview and the interviewer is just trying to stir up beef with him. thats real disrespectful Chael Sonnen is the greatest fighter in his division and hes real honest about everything he does and just states the facts. Brian Stann is tough but I know chael will overcome him. CHAEL SONNEN IS THE MAN!!!!

[@Letinsh19]

@Robespierr He didnt beat Silva. Silva submitted Sonnen but the fight was completely one sided (Sonnen knocked him around for 4 rounds)

[@ufcman119]

dan henderson vs chael sonnen i think it would be a good match

[@fivestarz3s]

Sonnen is telling the truth. YES PRIDE WAS A FUCKING JOKE. I SEEN OVER 80 MATCHS AND AT LEAST 30-35 WAS TOTAL BULLSHIT. THE REF HAVE A MICRO AND A SPEAKER IN THE EAR AND SOME MATCH WAS BULLSHIT. (Mainly because they bet alot of $ on some fighters and promoters want certain fighter to win.) Why do you think Dana purchased Pride and almost shutted it down so the sport can keep his good reputation. The truth hurts? ... if not... why do you dislike Sonnen he is just telling the truth!

[@TheReaperBrandon]

id love 2 see sonnen vs jones

[@Suntro]

I hope Okami beats Silva.

[@SkillinIt25]

There is not even a commrnt i can put.....The ones above say it all

[@BJtheDC1937]

I love Chael but he he contradicts himself after saying Fedor had fake fights in Pride he goes on to mention Dan Henderson's accomplishments in Pride...

[@thedonpetrucci]

I love Fedor... but Chael is such a master troll...

[@Letinsh19]

@Tommy9834 Sonnen would own him big time...50% of what Rampage says "You know what im sayin?!"

[@Letinsh19]

@valor992 Thats the next senator over here :D

[@porkncoke4833]

Chael is the man i feel sorry for Stann hes going to get an ass whooping

[@villian728]

That interviewer is pretty awkward, or maybe it`s just the delay.. chael ftw

[@gnsumas]

@Vicodeez Sonnen walks around at 230lbs, so he would actually have a size advantage over Rashad.

[@SullenMorbius]

Yeah, I think I need an interpretor to understand Rampage, as well. That dude doesn't speak any English I understand. Cheers, Chael ...

[@deepdnfawb]

Chael Sonnen is more in denial than Vanilla Ice when he thought he had talent. He talks about how people don't finish fights yet he has more decision victories than KO/Submission victories. The only time he finish fights is when he gets submitted himself. His back looks like the surface of the moon with all the craters he has from taking steroids yet he couldn't even put a mark on Anderson Silva's face. He can't deliver in a fight any more than Rosanne trying to deliver a Pepperoni Pizza

[@chewbaccacro8712]

Cheal confused Fedor with Brock Lesnar ^^

[@dt089]

Chael would get smoked at 205 lmao. Jones, Rampage, Rashad, and even Machida. Chael always says Machida sucks, but lets look at the Rashad fight. Rashad is a better and stronger wrestler than Chael and way better standing up. Rashad couldn't get close enough to Machida to shoot in and Machida took him to school stand up. Same thing would happen vs Chael.

[@bkellum89]

@Robespierr He didn't beat Silva...

[@helicaldota]

@MrCole0309 :D

[@DBonaldi]

@TommyRay2222 Completely agree 1000%. Chael hates the world he lives in, so he has decided to make up his own world and live in it. While some of what he says is just damn right ignorent and stupid, he sure as hell brings up some meaningful points noone has ever thought of or wanted to bring up.

[@cartoonsfut]

@Robespierr lol

[@wevertonDotA]

Anderson Silva is the best in MMA.

[@OSSRedemption]

@butofcourse22 Hell ya

[@richlewis86]

What the fuck is he talking about, Fedor is ten times the fighter he is or is ever likely to be!

[@OfficialTroy2K]

3-2 lol

[@KD-3.7]

5:09

[@codeman95291]

chael's right fedor isn't that good

[@TheTeddytrix]

chael is funny but hes repeating himself now i herd basically the same interview with areial hawanni

[@codeman95291]

@Lrdvltr so do i but he probably won't

[@tysswe1]

like stann and sonnen. but i must go whit sonnen, because d pure entertainment value and d fact that he is d only one that has whopped andersons ass.

[@Villanforsome]

@BJtheDC1937 come on this guy contradicts himself all the time because he is a biggest troll and a hypocrite. I have too many examples of that.

[@rmelgar9]

@Letinsh19 hahahahaha chael is more eloquent indeed "ya know what i'm sayin"

[@guneytepe3]

@Robespierr LOOOOL i rate that and agree with you complete chael sonnen fucked him up

[@WrestlingPhenom800]

@Robespierr He will be defending his belt untill his last breath! Anderson Silva got what he deserved :)

[@Modaragamage7]

WE ARE STILL NOT WORTHY!!!

[@rasecz333]

in your opinion hes the champ thats worth... hmmm.... 0 he lost thats it no but i just want to hear his next excuse after 147

[@TreyMMA]

This all seems very scripted in questions and remarks by the interviewer.

[@MALIRIPPA]

Hahaha hé landed over 200 shots to Anderson yet Anderson came out without a scrath ón his face but chael face was

[@John_17x]

lol@ okami beating silva! lol i love chael man! hes awesome! but that was the most ridiculous comment ever! chael is the only one who has a chance of beating silva! although i do think silva would win if they fought again!

[@chewbaccacro8712]

Fedor 34-4. ^^

[@shaggytwodope666]

@deepdnfawb sorry, only chael can pull off witty commentary, nice try though.

[@scootaymildo]

@vulcanman64 Really though? He calls Pride fake fighting, yet it was in this organisation that Silva was handed 2 of his 3 legit losses, whilst in America where the "real fighting takes place", he's completely dominated. I like Sonnen for the fact he's a good chharacter but half of what comes out his mouth is over-opinionated garbage which he just does to get noticed. If LW is such a joke division why doesn't he join, being 6 ft+ it's not like he's too small to compete or challenge for the title

[@Oils83]

war chael!!!!!!!

[@KrazyVideoMan]

@Robespierr aaaaaaaahahahahaahhahaha good joke man...

[@CPGHenrique]

Well, Sonnen lose again...

[@henryhenry1100]

Y r people even talking Sonnen vs Jones. Jones will shit on him then his mom. Really this guy is shit. And wasn't he on some kind of roids when he fought Silva?

[@007alagah]

sonnen your record is 0-1 buddy go watch your self in mirror

[@jronzani]

Chael Sonnen is not the champ and never will be.

[@beatrisgertrudetv]

Yushin Okami stands no chance its such a waste of time for anderson to fight him. Yushin Okami has always sucked!
