...whelp, that was awesome! Healy choked Miller out in the 3rd!
 
Great performance by Healy!

As for West Linn's Chael Sonnen...
 
Chael Sonnen is a waste of human life. What an amazing racist. How far UFC has fallen...
 
"He's a grown man with earrings," he said of Silva. "He's a grown man with saggy pants, pink t-shirts and crooked hats. Go join a gang."

Another time, he scoffed at how Silva "prances and dances, and does his little jigs."

Perhaps fearing that this just wasn't getting the point across, he described Portuguese as "half a step up from pig Latin," which was at least an advance on previous claims that Silva only wanted to "se habla Español" when it was time to talk to the press. He (or at least the guy who fight people say writes his material) even suggested on Twitter that Silva's manager Ed Soares should "pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you."

...

During his enforced vacation, which lasted until October 2011, Sonnen found plenty of time to work on his ugly American act, taking to Twitter to talk about the Brazilian fighter Wanderlei Silva "thrashing around the jungle w/a blowgun trying' [sic] to catch breakfast" and "sellin' barbecued monkey on the street in Manaus."

...

When I was a little kid, I'd go outside with my friends and we'd talk about the latest technology, in medicine, gaming and American ingenuity," he said. "Anderson and the Brazilian kids are sitting outside playing in the mud."

Sonnen is for sure a piece of shit.

It's a shame that he's famous and enjoyed so much success.
 
He's an interesting cat. He plays the bad guy role like a WWE villain. I have heard him on the joe rogan podcast and if I recall, he seemed like a good guy. I think he has realized it's much more profitable to be controversial and interesting then honest and boring. [video]
 
That Deadspin article might've been called "We Don't Get Irony."
 
Now that I think about it, speeds, none of that shit is ironic. I would fully expect that the Republican con-artist from fucking West Linn is a racist. Not at all shocking.

a little judgemental that you would expect a republican from west Linn to be a racist, no?
 
Sonnen says what he says to promote and hype up his fights... make more money! It's all an act. Smart man.

I agree he is a smart businessman. Who knows if sonnen actually believes the crap he spews. other ufc fighters have said sonnen puts on an act and is a nice guy.

Does it make what he said right? No, but what he says hypes the fight and puts more money in his pocket.
 
and by the way, a lot more money in his pocket. He would not be getting all these title shots if not for being controversial and entertaining. we are talking about hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Not that it's right for him to act this way, but that I understand it and I don't think it means he really believes what he says.

I'd hardly call him a smart businessman (he's had some terrible business decisions). But he is smart in his approach to UFC. I mean, if you're going to get destroyed, the only way to stay in the spotlight and remain relevant is to talk smack so people will want to fight you, and continue to want to see you get beaten.
