Chael Sonnen Follows Blueprint of Trash Talk, Cage Success to Title Shot
By MMAEdition on Feb 09, 2010 with Comments 0
Just days ago, Chael Sonnen was ripping Anderson Silva for wearing earrings and pink shirts, and “pretending that he doesn’t speak English.” He was calling him “a bum” and saying he’d really rip into the champ after he beat Nate Marquardt after UFC 109.
The rest of us couldn’t help but ask if the guy was crazy. Not only was he trash-talking the man who many consider the pound-for-pound MMA king (Sonnen also takes exception to that), but he also basically promised a win over Marquardt?
Ridiculous, some thought. But the man with the golden mouth has the last word. He’s had plenty to say about Silva, and now — as the sudden and surprising No. 1 contender for the belt that Silva has owned since 2006 — he’ll have plenty of time to think about possibly fighting him.
