he already said it’s not that bad
Dont worry chael, you can still jack off after he puts his foot in your ass.
Getting his excuse ready like last time w/the broken rib….
Yeah, you mean after he won right?
didn’t Anderson Silva announce his rib injury at the post fight conference ? But, don’t worry Chael, he’ll still show up on July 7 to kick your ass… on one leg … I have no doubts that Sonnen will cry and whine like a pro ***** that he is, after the fight . My bad, there won’t be a fight. It’s the Anderson Silva One Legged Man in an Ass Kicking contest. Sonnen, do us all a favor and join Brock in the WWE. McMahon will probably like your shitty attitude.
lol! Yeah WWE fits him well with all of his scripted trash talk.
People who are educated in fighting like/respect Anderson Silva. Uneducated/Idiots LOVE Chael Sonnen!
actually i like them both.they both get up there and put it on the line unlike some Patrick.and ive forgotten more about mma than youll ever know.dont knowck someone for respecting the fighters THAT is the sign of an idiot.tell ya waht walk up into a gym and saying anything about someone being an idiot for liking Chael but please get it on camera before you do.
Him talking about injuries is alright considering Chael only has one testicle and not enough testosterone to produce a beard (fact) w/o TRT. 1-ball vs. 1-knee sounds fair.
Sounds like you had a BALL on your knees! =D
Until the test comeback as a acl tear or somin else the should put wandy vs chael only two healthy guys left
Has his excuse ready just in case he loses or so he won’t have to fight lolol What’s up with all the ‘champs’ ducking people?
What’s with all these people acting like pro athletes don’t really get injured in training?
+1
lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
Watching tv…. Or training in a gym … Doesn’t make u educated in fighting … Competing in a arena of sport combat … Doesn’t make u educated in fighting.. Their are no rules in fighting… No third man to save u…… This is sport combat…. Idiot…. Stay nside .. On your computers… Where it’s safe…. Wimps…. Try that UFC shit on the concrete ladies…. It’s a whole new experience….. No fences to help u get back up…. No rules against small joint manipulation ….. U people betr wake the fuq up….. B4 …. It’s to late…. I’n a reAl fight…. Tapping means what?….. LmaO…. It means you are about to die…. Their ain’t no round 2… No second chances…… Just life… And death…. Get real ladies….
I’m the kinda guy… ThAt will chew your throat…. And laugh…. And spit the chunks in your face rite b4 I stomp your head flat… Yank your nuts off like I’m starting a lawn mower…. Eat your eyeball…. Bite your nose off…. U don’t know shit about fighting for real….U fight for your life…. Idiot … Not a belt…Sport combat is not fighting it’s competing…..
what a big talker…pure tough guy…u make me laugh bud…
ohhhh big man mike..what brough this talk up?? why are u trying tell everyone hhow bad yo are and what a dangerous man yo are? your a fukin joke,,the real bad tough guys dont soo much talking…u do wayy too much to be real…u prob never even been in a street fight…you tuck tail bitch
Stay nside……
Your sweet….
See what I mean… Clueless…. As to the real dangers of this world…..
Sure you are Mike, you are such the badass Cyber Warrior. I know fighting I’ve been fighting in the ring for 3 years and on the streets for 10 years. You’re just some sad gym rat with zero talent and know nothing about fighting. You probably know all your fighting knowledge from action movies. You talk a mean game and its just to act like a tough guy, you’re no different than the shit Sonnen says. I’m not going to say I’m going to kick your ass because I can, I let my fists and legs do the talking for me.
daayum you must be homies with Nick Diaz you talk that same shit like you’re from the hood or have to deal with intergang wars. kinda sounds like you spent some time in the pen to. because that’s the only people i hear talk like that….p.s. watch out devo is coming for your ass
I’m your huckleberry….
big bad mikey. oh oh Im scared. You know that real tough guys never mention it, and fake tough guys have to scream it to everyone. I lol at ur lame attempt to scare people
He’s most likely not even injured is the point moron
When has Anderson ducked anyone? He fights who the UFC puts in front of him.. Just cause Chael thinks he deserves to fight Anderson every time he fights and Anderson fights someone else doesnt mean he is ducking.. UFC gave Chael his shot and he lost! HE had to work for another one, dont see Anderson ducking him cause guess what he is fighting him AGAIN in july! Also keep listening to Chael talking about Anderson ducking him for 6 years when Chael has only been in the UFC for 3.. hahaha
IF he can’t fight… Wandy vs chael
does this mean I’m off the hook?
I haven’t heard this whole one nut thing b4.. Is that true….. Or just a joke?…
I am just a healed rib… I have no clue..
I got anderson winning early in the third round via tko
nooo clay 2nd roound tko
Lol that was actually my gut feeling at first. But then I can picture the refs letting it go for awhile since its a grudge match.
If he cant fight, let Belcher beat Sonnen’s ass.
Damn dude, GSP, Cruz, and now possibly Andy Silva are seriously injured. Love this sport. Next Generation right here!
the acl plague is hitting because it hit D Rose also at the same time as Cruz.
I’m an American and I will always support my fellow American over any other country…I have American pride! I hope Chael Sonnen finally knocks the Brazilian off the top so an American can be a champion! USA USA USA!!!
Sure you are , and you listen to Ted Nuggent crapping his shorts
Hope is what you Americans need. Cause… ya… U’re all hopeless!
He is trying to play games now. He needs every advantage he can get. Just like Chael.
Damn I was about to get worried if he gets injured and pull out of that fight sheeeet I would sell or return my ring side tickets. Had to give up my first kid for them
MOVE THE FIGHT TO HAWAII IF ITS POSTPONED . THERE,S
PLENTY OF GI JOES TO SUPPORT OR BOO THE HANDICAPPED
FELON . CANADA DON,T ALLOW FELONS TO CROSS THE BORDER
