chael also got subbed three times by Jeremy horn as well as subbed by Forrest ect. I agree he not a can but he has several other loses on his record then what you named. Also the tear he went on completely coincides with TRT abuse in which he had 17 times the testosterone levels of a normal male during his initial fight with ANderson, he would not even have gotten the belt if he had won that how badly he was cheating.........






Wanderlei is a can? That pretty gross exaggeration. Because we all kn ow Bispen did such a great job when he tried to game plan Wanderlei right?

Chael Sonnen is an excellent fighter, even so, Chael Sonnen is highly overrated. 

Nobody here is a can

Digging a little deep for those losses, and being subbed by Jeremy Horn and Forrest Griffin are understandable. Wanderlei lost twice to Forrest. (Forrest Franklin that is)

Wandy is 5-7 all time in the UFC and that's probably his biggest win in the UFC. Against a 185er who has problems beating top 10 guys in that division. His last two wins have come against guys who were more than happy to stand and trade with him. Chael won't do that, and Wanderlei is zero threat of a sub. Wandy better hit him hard and hit him fast or he's going to find himself wearing a Chael Sonnen suit for the entire fight.

As far as Chael's hot streak coinciding with his TRT abuse. It's convenient you left out Wandy's Pride run, ya know the Pride run when he was juiced to the gills on more than Testosterone. I'm sorry but Wandy is nothing more than a mediocre fighter in the UFC who happens to be exciting, and happens to be a massive draw in both Japan and Brazil.

Is this fight still on? I read about Chael saying that he simply can't compete if TRT isn't allowed. I didn't read the whole article though.

7 times. Anyone who says Wand is a can is an idiot. I dislike Chael Sonnen, but I'd never call him a can.. cause he's not. That being said; Can't wait till Wandy crushes Chael. It'll make a whole lot of people look real stupid.

****, no Wand didn't lose to Forrest Griffin, I have a problem of Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin morphing into the same person in my head.

Chael without TRT and roids will be garbage. 

He said he will likely retire if TRT is banned everywhere.

And he'll STILL beat Wanderlei. There might be something to this no steroids = suck thing though. Just look at PRIDE Wandy vs. UFC Wandy. Somewhere in between suck happened.

It is sad Chael might not compete again because of TRT ban. But he almost has to because of how hyped this fight is. Maybe they can fight at 185 instead that would help. I don't understand why Wand is saying he's doing this because Chael mocked Brazil when Wand is trying to get a green card to be a US citizen

...Because Wand lives in America now...You can still love the place you came from and still feel disrespected when they talk about where you came from.

The funniest thing about this thread, is if you go back through any sport ESPECIALLY pro-wrestling, and I see a lot of pro-wrestling fans are also Sonnen fans, everyone was doing steroids, cocaine, etc in wrestling. How many ******* pro-wrestlers have died now, how many have been addicted to steroids and hard drugs? 

Fun FACT. Chael Sonnen has tested positive for steroids in a title fight
Fun FACT. Chael Sonnen says he NEEDS TRT to compete and may retire without it

Fun FACT. Wanderlei Silva has never tested positive for steroids, and he doesn't use TRT. Fights on heart and will, not steroids/TRT. 

Sorry Chael Sonnen fans, but if you're gonna be the fan of a fighter who uses TRT and cheats, don't try and deny it. 


Example, I am a fan of Vitor Belfort, Despite this, I know he shouldn't be allowed to use TRT and I am against it.
