The guy always steps up when the UFC needs someone, like him or not the fact that he was the only person to step up on 8 days notcie to fight Jon Jones is beyond respectable!

I didn't think it was possible...but my total heterosexual admiration and devotion to the teachings of @SonnenCH has grown immensely.

@p4p i think now was just the perfect time! Love or hate the guy you gotta respect the fact that he stepped up when no one else would! And not only that but Jones and his camp were so worried about losing to Chael that they refused to fight him!

I'll admit it..I used to not like the dude, but now I just can't dislike a guy with the...intestinal fortitude of Mr. Sonnen.

I've never EVER liked Chael, but when I read he stepped up to fight bones I gained a **** ton of respect for him! He could have saved 151

I've never been a Chael fan, but props to him for taking a fight on short notice against one of the best fighter in the world.

Lol so a guy who is switching divisions to get a title is a hero for trying to get his title shot without earning it.Anyone who wants a title would accept this fight.Chael did nothing out of the ordinary.

Future Chael Sonnen Quotes

"We could have saved UFC 151 but no one could've saved Jon Jones." "I will smack Jon Jones around like a telephone pole" "Greg Jackson and Jon Jones should sign an endorsement with Hoover vacuums because they both suck" Huge fan of Chael's quotes. Huge fan of his willingness to fight anyone. Rare you get to see someone with a mouth that back it up. Big ups to you Chael.

@Mike.. you are just wrong. He stepped up to the plate to save a UFC card. He was scheduled to fight Forrest, not Jones. He stepped up for the UFC... like Rich... Lytle... Bisping... and many other fighters have. It's Chael that took the fight on short notice... It's Chael that didn't have a camp... Jones had a full camp training for the same type of fighter (minus the H-bomb)... Jones should have accepted the damn fight to help the business and sport he participates in.

Big chael fan and have been for a long time. I dont always like or agree with what he says but he brings it every time and he does his absolute best to back up everything he says.
