Re: Spitsbing & his tainted victory

Joe:

If you get a chance to talk with him, please mention to your idiot-in-residence Michael Spitsbing it’ll be a little tougher to knee ME in the head when I’m charging at him like a runaway train and mincing him through the fence like a boiled potato, should we ever have the pleasure of each other’s company for a few (VERY few) moments in the Octagon.

Oh; and I’d suggest to him being a little careful about spitting on any of MY cornermen, since any one of them can beat him up as badly as I can. Thanks ever so much.
Hope all is well.

-Chael Sonnen

It's on a bunch of sites... I think it's legit.  Damn that guy has got a talent for hyping fights.  As turned off as I was about the testosterone test and the weird mortgage thing, I really want to see this fight now.

i think sonnen takes this easily. bisping doesnt have the subs of maia or even anderson and he has virtually no stand up compared to anderson, but he does have better TDD.
sonnen puts him on his back and pounds on him for a late stoppage or a strong UD.

gregory, I completely agree. I was a chael fan until the anderson fight were he crossed the line while hyping the fight for me personally. But I would love to see him put an ass whooping on Bisben.

Sonnen looking for a very winnable fight to return! I don't see Bisping being able to keep this fight standing.

Sonnens a great fighter, no question, I hate the fact that he is always calling people dirt bags when he him self is the biggest slime ball in mma with his testosterone scandal and mortage fraud, even if he never holds the UFC title he defenetly has a bright career a head of him in politics, he has defenetly demonstrated his ability to say one thing and do another.

Yeah this is definitely a fight Sonnen can win to get him near another title shot.  I still don't think we'll see Sonnen fighting in the UFC anytime soon though.  Bisping would probably fight someone like Vitor first, in which case Sonnen should be calling out the winner of that fight.  I think Sonnen would take a unanimous decision against Bisping, but I think a match with Vitor would be much more interesting.  Sonnen's trash talk would probably be a lot more interesting if he were to fight Bisping though.

Do you think Sonnen's trash talk is going to be as effective given the state of his personal life made public? No doubt he is still extreamly witty but it's going to give his opponents (and his opponents fans) alot more ammunition when he shoots his mouth off promoting his future fights.

even Sonnen's personal emails are promotional gold! I mean hate Sonnen all you want but the guys got charisma you just cant fake, sadly who knows when he'll be back in the cage though.

Sonnen would easily dismantle Bisping, even on the feet. Unless your a spider, i dont see anyone at middleweight being able to withstand him on top.

Yup. He acts the part of a clown, but an entertaining one. Wonder if they'll setup this fight; Sonnen would dominate from start to finish.

Bisping hit a all-time low after he beat Rivera. That knee was intentional and he knew it. I didn't watch all the Rivera video's because i thought some of them were stupid, but did he really bash his family? Spitting at someone is as bad as kicking a guy in the balls on purpose or cheap shotting someone. Suprised he didn't do that too. This ******* guy needs another ass whooping like Hendo gave him, only he needs to be conscious throughout the entire thing. I can't wait to see Sonnen beat him senseless and shove it in his face afterwards. Anyone who makes fun of the deaf (Matt Hammil) or stoops to this level is doing nothing good for the sport.

I don't see any place that Sonnen wouldn't dominate in this fight...including trash talk.  If he thinks Rivera insulted him...
