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 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.

UFC on FOX 2 Weigh-in Photos

This is the official beginning of UFC on Fox and I can’t wait to see what happens. For some reason, it feels like a ton of more airplay is going to Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping. The trash talking between these two have been amazing, I only wished it was longer than just a couple of weeks. With that said, both Rashad Evans and Phil Davis have already upped their game to pre-fight hype to shine the spot light back on them. It’s going to be a night of great fights.

Main Card (Televised):

  • Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
  • Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping
  • Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman
