I think the thread is going overboard with fighter bashing. Why not keep it civil and intelligent. Let's not all get worked up.

@BodyModifier agreed....there is many fighters in the UFC i don't really care for but to get to that level they are very skilled and I wouldn't really say any of them sucked because all of them could destroy me!!

I think this guy could beat Anderson Silva,
you know, because he has no takedown defense and stuff

Steve Cantwell should be on that list too brotha, cuz Massenzio destroyed him, putting his record at an incredible  3-4 in his last 7 fights since entering the WEC in 2008!!!!

@jesus it just amazes me how you continuously provide no facts to back up your argument.  You say that Anderson sucks.. Why does he suck? All of Anderson's previous opponents would disagree with the exception of Chael Sonnen.  You get behind a guy who makes the sport look bad.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good trash talk when it is revolved around FIGHTING.  If Chael wants drama he can call up Vince McMahon and maybe catch a spot at the next Wrestlemania.  When you start bashing your opponents heritage and country of origin, that's when I stop laughing.  Trash talk is supposed to be all in good fun, Chael destroys that just to market himself.

Don't forget about how he said he's going to pat Silva's wife's backside @Crumx7.... Chael definately crossed the line on that one. Getting an entire country to hate you is pretty bad, when you talk about a guys wife after you've already done that.... now something needs to be said to him.....

IMO, this is where Dana White needs to step up and have a conversation with this guy and let him know it's gone to far, and if a new fan with morals were to hear this **** he'd never keep watching the sport. Imagine if Chael had said some of that **** live on Fox, i wonder how it'd go over?

He set Lesnar straight after UFC 100, what's he waiting for with Sonnen.....

I think the reason why Chael keeps antagonizing Silva is because he refuses to respond. I think that if Anderson would just speak for himself instead of having Soares do it for him, it would be different.

I think it's pretty funny when you have Chael Sonnen nuthugger's calling other people Anderson Silva nuthuggers.  Obviously Anderson Silva is going to have fans, he's the consensus best fighter in the world.  What has Chael Sonnen ever done besides spout a ton of macho ******** that he's thus far been unable to ever back up?  
Sonnen is a proven cheater and a liar, and all around loser.  His fans are losers too.  Anyone who would be a fan of a guy like that is a loser.  Period.

of which Chael Sonnen "the fighter" do you speak? The one who uses hormone replacement therapy or the one who could never crack the top ten without cheating?

only 4 fights left? it will be a terrible day when we lose anderson silva. I'd love to see him retire on top and so far its looking like he will.
Whats the over/under on him actually ever fighting sonnen again?

@jody Personally, I'm not a fan of Chael Sonnen.  But you can't make generalizations like that about people.  Everyone has their reasons for being a fan of a fighter, and just because a fighter might have an undesirable personality doesn't mean that the fans of that fighter share the same personality.

I just don't personally understand why anyone would be a Chael Sonnen fan.  I think his fans must be fans of macho posturing more than they are of fighting because he's far better at the former than he is at the latter.  
As far as him getting a title shot?  He's lucky to even be allowed to continue his career.  Do people not realize that he cheated?  He used hormone replacement therapy to increase his testosterone and give himself an unfair advantage over his opponents.  He's probably still doing it.
He cheated, and Silva still won.  Bottom line.
