Chael Sonnen Opens 'Mean Street' Pizza Joint In Oregon


By Jamie McAllister:
What do Chael Sonnen & Pizza have in common ? Well the Middleweight number one contender has recently took out partnership on a pizza shop and will be named ‘Mean Street’ the business was formerly known as ‘Pizza Schmizza’ and closed down in January. The business located Sonnen’s home town of West Linn, Oregon and here are comments from Lee Gamble co-owner & Chael Sonnen himself.

“I came up here the day after it was closed and I saw the “For Lease” sign. I made contact with the leasing agent and he and I had a great conversation over the phone,” Lee Gamble, co-owner of ‘Mean Street Pizza’, told the local newspaper.

“He liked the motivation and direction I was going in, so all that was left to do was for me to get my ducks in a row… Chael and I are equal partners. I basically brought the idea to him and he funded it. We have been good friends for a couple years now.”

“I was in Chicago for a fight and I got a call. I’ve always liked the place and didn’t want to see it close. It will be the same concept with an addition of a few menu items and video games,” said Sonnen, who was also responsible for the name – Gamble was going to call it the decidedly un-gangster ‘Slices’.

  1. Khanny says:

    Great! At least he’s got another job after A.Silva rips him to shreds or makes him tap. Wonder if he’ll need trt to work there..

    • Richard says:

      YUUUP cause Anderson really tore him to shreds in their first fight.
      I don’t how anyone thinks one fighter is just gonna destroy the other in this fight. The first fight was close in a sense. Why wouldn’t this one be?

      • CMolina says:

        Because the Champion isn’t injured this time and hopefully he won’t get injured on the first takedown again and Chael will be at the legal levels of testosterone this time.

    • Nick says:

      That is so funny dude. I can’t wait for this fight. If sonnen comes in with the legal levels of TRT, and performs how he did against Bisping this fight should be over in a matter of seconds

  2. There will be extra cheese on his pizza. The spider will take a pizza him.

  3. KStinkyboy says:
