Sonnen Blames Media For Distractions And Losing Silva Fight | UFC NEWS
By Evan Stoumbelis
Never at a loss for words, Chael Sonnen spoke to Fuel TV’s “UFC Tonight” about the question burning in everyone’s minds: What happened in his fight against Anderson Silva?
“Listen, you wanna really know what happened? Everything’s going fine. I’m minding my own business. I’m out there, in the middle of a fist fight. I look up–in between rounds–and this is a true story–I see Kenny Florian and he’s got like a buffet style [dinner] in front of him. He’s stuffing his face. And I get completely distracted. Next thing I know, the ref says ‘are you ready?’ And I’m thinking, ‘no I’m not’. And I’ve gotta walk out there anyway.”
Sonnen lost to Anderson Silva after a spinning backfist attempt went bad and he found himself stumbling to the ground. Silva finished the fight shortly after via TKO due to strikes.

Eat shit you lost tramp
He was joking buddy but I’m sure you noticed that.
Yup! I don’t even know why this article was written without mentioning the sarcasm.
Shit! Omg I have to get on here and defend chael. He’s soo awsome. He’s my hero. Omg I love him so much. Like, he was totally joking u idiots. Like he wasn’t serious.
Lol fags…
OH NO! Chael Sonnen has fans, I have to criticize anyone that likes a fighter that I don’t.
****ing faggot. (;
Man that’s bullshit. Chael is a crybaby and when he loses he wants to make excuses and blame other people. He’s a liar he needs to go to WWE and leave MMA, expectially UFC alone.
He was trolling you idiots. Look up that interview, you can clearly tell he was ****ing around. He didn’t really mean that. You people take everything to the heart
+1
thank you. it is amazing at the number of people that don’t realize this
yeah i feel bad for idiots who don’t understand sarcasm (mike and jfallen i’m looking at you) …seriously guys how dumb are you? i realize not too many people like chael for his actions outside of the ring, but i mean come on! it’s like reading a 3 year olds response to sarcasm.
my god mochael and jfalllen you 2 need to wrap some big ass rubber bands around your nads really tight before you go to bed your ****ing up our gene pool
Chael is more media than fighter
I seriously feel sorry for Chael. Helluva a fighter, but he’s not a man. He’s just a crying baby that can’t accept defeat.
He was trolling. He admitted defeat and called Anderson a true champion after he lost. This was a joke.
clearly a joke. He lost, but in my opinion he can beat Anderson it just wasn’t his night. He has taken 5 out of 7 rounds from him but has yet to win. I really hope Anderson retires, Sonnen wins the middleweight strap and then Anderson comes back and they fight one last time.
You people kill me with this 5 out of 7 rounds mentality. The man lost twice. If the first fight took place in a dark alley on the street somewhere and Sonnen beat on him for 23 minutes but then got caught in a triangle choke then guess what? There would be a investigation team searching for Silva because they found some dead chump in an alleyway choked to death. Such is the art of fighting.
Ya All this on the street shit means nothing. On the street there are no rules u can’t wear a cup unless u wear one all the time like a fag and no reff and no rounds to regroup so u r a retard
In a dark alley, THERE IS NO 23 MINUTES !!! There are no rules, no referee, no nothing! You’re such a dumbass, and I hate repeating myself, but you’re such a dumbass!
That’s exactly my point you jackass!!! No ref means no one to stop you from getting choked to death you ****ing idiot. SO if it were on the street, Sonnen would be dead. I hate repeating myself but obviously you are too stupid to understand this concept so I guess I must. Anyone who disputes the fact that sonnen lost twice is retarded. That sounds like you buddy.
You’re contradicting yourself you ****ing moron. If they were on the streets Silva also wouldn’t have a ref to come pull Chael off of him every 5 minutes.
I hate repeating myself, but you really are a dumbass. When there is no 23 minutes, there is no stoppage after 5 minutes! There is no 60 second recovery! And, also, it’s not art on the streets, dumbass. It’s survival. I really do hate repeating myself, so I won’t….this time.
This has to be a joke, I need to see the clip of him saying this cuz there’s no way this can be a serious statement from anybody as a legit excuse lol.. if so, it’s definitely the most original excuse I’ve ever heard. Idiotic, but original lol.. have to see the clip tho
Chael Sonnen is a sore loser and a shit talkin *****. He lost because all he does is run his mouth. Ur job is to fight not talk. You say your selling fights? Leave that to Joe and Dana and do your job. You didn’t lose for any reason other than karma, you called out a whole nation and they’re baddest fighter stomped all over your shit. You deserved it.
their
and you’re dumb
Hilarious! Damn, you Kenflo!! Lol
No shit he is joking, every time in an interview when he says “this is a true story” he is joking around. Everyone needs to lighten up
hope chael comes back strong.it would be interesting if he moved up to 205.he said before it might be a possibility.
Maybe the title of this article is misleading. Could have read “sonnen finds humor in crushing defeat.”
Just shut up already Chael please! Noone wanted to hear your mouth before the first Silva fight. Just be glad you even got the second chance you did since the UFC handed you the win over Bisping(who i can’t stand) cus the rematch vs. Silva would sell like crazy. Idk which is worse the fact that Sonnen has won 6 consecutive rounds over Anderson minus the 30secs of the triangle or the fact that a guy that clearly lost to Bisping has given Silva more than a run for his money. You can blame noone but yourself for even throwing that dumbass backfist against one of the most elusive strikers in the UFC like you have any stand up at all. You claim to be an intelligent guy but go and do stupid shit like that. Instead of taking him down after your actually caught him pretty good with a straight. Give up all hopes of having UFC gold man cus your obviously cursed to choke everytime! Bisping will probably earn the next shot and will get KO’d. Then Silva should retire cus after what I’ve seen what Chael was able to do to him If Jones moves up to fight him SILVA WILL LOSE. Go out while your still on top Silva cus i hate to say it but I honestly don’t know if you would of got by Chael if not for his 2 mistakes!
You are truly retarded.
How am i retarded??? I guess Chael lost all the rounds of the first fight. Then lost the first round and of the second fight and didnt get beat off of throwing a dumb technique? Which of those statements were wrong? I guess your gonna say Chael beat Bisping too? After seeing what Chael did to Silva how can you not say Jones doesnt have a good chance of beating Silva? When Jones is far more well rounded than Chael. Getting a clue you ****ing moron. Have you even watched these fights? I would bet not. Then again what would I expect some homo with an RPG character as his avatar to know about fighting? Come back and reply when you have the slightest clue what your talking about cus until then anything you say is absolutely useless
the fact you believe what chael says. that makes you dumb. you think he’s serious? ****ing idiot.
Agreed. I dont understand how ppl can be this dumb..
In any post did I say I believe anything Chael says?? NO!! I said noone wanted hear his shit since the first Silva fight. It’s called “reading comprehension” and you should really brush up on it…and you SIMPLE ****S are calling me retarded?? HaHaHa learn how to read<<
grow a brain sounds butt hurt better leave him alone before he goes ape shit and kills himself…wouldn’t want that on your conscience would you?
” You can blame noone but yourself for even throwing that dumbass backfist” although this quote is very correct it shows you believed him. nice try though
How does that show i believed that kenny florian eating a buffet cost him the fight?? Man you mother****ers are stupid. Just leave the forum and never come back cus you idiots make MMA look bad! Some of you people have no clue what in the **** you are talking about.
are you serious? you claimed he blamed someone else for his loss but really it was his fault. which means u believe he was serious about blaming kenflo’s meal. there is no shame to admit that you’re wrong everyone has to do it sometime in life and this is one of those times for you pal.
All u guys need to get a ****ing life.Lol…
Okay, I’ll point out another reason you are retarded. You said ” If Jones moves up to fight him SILVA WILL LOSE.” Jones would have to move down to fight Silva ****tard.
Sorry i made a mistake in the moment of arguing with these dumbasses ok your highness? I swear all you fags have nothing better to do but try to pick an argument over anything. Get a life or a hobby plus i know it might be impossible for some of you but get a girlfriend. Considering you idiots are arguing about UFC when i bet you half of you have never even been to an event before or probably never even trained a day in your life.
Actually not really, Silva has moved up to LHW twice and won in convincing fashion. He should be fine but he knows he’d lose that’s why he’s dodging it
Of course we know hes joking. I am starting to get sick of his jokes. Hes getting to the point of being really annoying now. Certain things you just dont joke about. I lost the little respect I had for him and I use to be a fan.
I agree, sonnen jokes are retarded. I really don’t undertsand why ppl say he is so funny. Ppl need to get a life I mean his jokes are dumb and not even funny. If you laugh you must be a retarded redneck
Silva should retire while hes still on top. As much as i hate Chael he’s made it by him by the skin of his teeth only due to Chaels own mistakes. Chael basically has won every round he has had with Silva other than those 2 mishaps. Hate to say it but Silva’s days are numbered and Jones should bump up and wipe him out<<
Hahaha are you ****ing idiots honestly taking it serious? Come on you guys can’t be that ****ing retarded
damnit kenny i knew this was ur fault go in the corner and no dinner
Chael is a media whore. The shit he says isn’t funny it’s just plain stupid. Silvia ****ed up chaels whole life. If sonnen would have won he would have been talking so much shit right now but he lost badly and lost his only thing in life “shit talking”. Now he’s trying to be funny. Your supposed to be a fighter chael not a comedian that’s why you got your asked kicked to a real fighter who lets his taking be done in the cage with his skills.
For a “True MMA” fan you would think you could get Silva’s name right.
What happened with no excuses….****ing joke this guy is
Sarcasm u nuttsack
Wow a lot of ignorant fans here… Clearly he was joking and 90% of the guys in here take everything he says to heart. He said in his interview after the fight that Silva is a great champion and he was the better fighter that night… And people still create drama what Chael says? I mean common Chael will always be Chael.
HAHAHA wow you really can’t tell the man is joking? It’s a joke people.
This headline is inaccurate. Sonnen was joking here. And the closing of the piece is wrong as well. Sonnen lost by illegal knee to the head. But yeah, the spinning backfist was a terrible idea.
Hahahaha that was funny! Chael is the master of trolling.
My God, half of you are complete ****ing idiots. He’s clearly joking, and is trying to add some humor to a shitty loss.
clearly thats an answer from somebody who keeps on asking the SAME ****ING QUESTIONS about!! i ****ing hate the media, thats what they do, and Chael gave an answer jokingly, AND THIS HEADLINE IS ****ING INACURRATE, EVAN STOUMBULIS. The person who headlined this article sounds like hes just trying to stir up shit, Chael already said Anderson won fair and square so stop bitching, jesus christ u guys are worse than my son and maybe more sensitive.
Thats funny shit sonnen is the man!
LMAO WHY IS THIS AN ARTICLE?! THIS WEBSITE IS A JOKE
Please just quit as you promise in your last fight that you lost.
Man people are stupid and have no sense of humor…..
Geeze…Sonnen makes gay bullshit excuses,flat out.And the his nut suckin dumb fans still defend his bullshit and say he was joking.Hilarious!!!Before I wasn’t sure,Now I’m positive. Sonnen’s fans are more heard headed ignorant ****s than he is
I was rotfl when i saw this mess!
The headlines for these articles are very misleading. Im about to stop going to this site. He’s obviously kidding around. I love Bj Penn but this site is becoming a joke.
HAHAHAHA that’s ****ing funny. Amazing how many people actually take him so serious. If that was the real case it would still be pretty ****ing funny.
Hahaha! OK now THAT was funny! I just pictured him looking at Florian stuffing his face hahahah!
Hes going back to middle weight lol!
THAT’s why! hahaha!
Wow if I hear one more person defending chael about this 5 of 7 rounds bs I’m gonna scream he lost and silva won. Stop making excuses and take this for what it is. A joke. Silvas the best and JJ and him are boys and wouldn’t fight Anderson anyway. Every name people mention ends up getting destroyed and hall jump to the next bandwagon of who can beat him lol
Trollauthor wins.
And **** you bjpenn.com for letting me post one comment every 15 minutes.
wtf///ur so gay!!!what a shitty excuse .. loserrrrrr
LOL Chael ****in trolled the shit out of everyone again.
The guy is on a roll.
He could say he blames Martians for his loss and kids would still reply with the same old “OMFG WTF U CHEATER U LOST ACCEPT IT LOSER!”
Chael is laughing all the way to the bank
dong kim is laughing harder, he made more than chael and he barely speaks english.
This **** s ****ed in the head… Cancer
I was wondering how long it would take Phael to start throwing around the excuses. I will give him some credit, I thought he would make this crap up sooner. So what now, is he going to hype up the another rematch for two years, and lose AGAIN?
It is the moron writers that title these articles to mislead people purposely. It is obvious that the BJ Penn writers (if you can even call them that) dislike Sonnen so they try to sway the people to their liking. “Journalism”; however, is NOT bias. It is an objective review of events, people, situations. These wanna be garbage writers have no idea how to do real journalism.
As for the article; Sonnen is obviously joking. Stop getting worked up. Dumbasses.
If you took this serious, you’re a ****ing idiot. Go watch the damn show and see for yourself
Everyone who comments based on this sarcasm, other than stating that’s it is witty and down right funny should have their head checked. And to each guy on here that is saying that Sonnen is a better fighter because he was won 5 out of 7 rounds is also a slow thinker. Come one guys you are better then that. The simple fact that most fights are won or lost based on the opponents mistakes is very real. Sonnen makes more mistakes then the Champion Silva. And that is why Silva is 2 – 0 and Sonnen, and undefeated in the UFC. He does not make fight ending mistakes ever. He is the better fighter for that reason alone. So stop dreaming of Sonnens **** in your mouth, he is married and not gay.
He smelled that steak yo
And STILL the ULTIMATE TROLLING CHAMP! Chael Sonnen!
classic chael!
I think sonnen is a disrespectful piece of shit but he had me on this one funny comment
