Chael Sonnen Post-Fight Interview on UFC on Fox 2

I don’t know about you, but I love this stuff. As a former pro wrestling fan, this is the kind of stuff that makes things interesting. I don’t think all the fighters have the same talent on the mic as Chael Sonnen, but you have got to admit — people want to watch him talk, whether you like him or not. He has personality. He has charisma. And more importantly, he has the skills to back it up. What more do you want?

Full Transcript:

Joe Rogan: Alright, I’m here with the winner, Chael Sonnen. First of all Chael, congratulations — a very tough fight. Michael Bisping showed he some great takedown defense. Did he surprise you at all in this fight?

Chael Sonnen: Joe Rogan, tonight is not for questions for me — this is your night brother! I want to know how you feel being inches away from greatness! I want you to tell everybody how it feels.

Are you not mesmerized? Do you not have chills going up your spine for the first time on Fox for you to be here?

In Chael’s octagon. On Chael’s channel. Holding Chael’s microphone. Interviewing Chael.

Joe Rogan: I’m pretty excited.

Chael Sonnen: While you’re thinking about that. Remember this. When you’re the greatest fighter in the world today, they got a name for yah.

They don’t call you a great fighter, they call you Chael Sonnen.

BEAT ME, IF YOU CAN!

Joe Rogan: Chael Sonnen ladies and gentleman!

Mike Goldberg: I think Joe, he just said it all. He is certainly entertaining and he will have his rematch against Anderson Silva.

5 Great Photos from UFC on Fox 2 Prelims

The prelim fights brought more excitement than the main card on UFC on Fox 2. This is where you witnessed Fight of the Night between Evan Dunham and Nick Lentz, Knockout of the Night by Lavar Johnson, and Submission of the Night by Charles Oliveira. Also, I didn’t even mention the mouthpiece knockout from Cub Swanson, which I felt should have won KOTN.

If they only had time to show one of these during the main card, it would have made it a ton better for the new fans watching it on Fox.

5 Great Photos from Evans vs. Davis (UFC on Fox 2)

Rashad Evans looked like a guy who didn’t want to be in there with Phil Davis. Not because he felt he was going to be beat him, but because he didn’t think the Penn State National Champion was on his level. Throughout the fight, he was able to control it where ever the fight went. On top of that, he was able to display a dynamic wrestling game fit for MMA. With this win, we finally get to see him fight for the title against Jon Jones.

5 Great Photos from Sonnen vs. Bisping (UFC on Fox 2)

In a controversial end to a fought well fight, Chael Sonnen takes the victory in a split decision against Michael Bisping. Sonnen claims he was rocked in the first round against Bisping, and never really recovered. With that said, he was able to pull it out winning the first and third round according to two judges.

Bisping came out of the first with a moral win where many doubted him. He was able to bring it against the best, and many folks thought he won the fight, but the ones you need to convince are the judges. That’s why Sonnen is heading to Brazil this summer to rematch his nemesis Anderson Silva.
