Chael Sonnen asked to fight Rampage at 205

The thing about Chael is when he does all these interviews, and he sounds crazy when he says ‘I’ll fight any man God ever created.’ He’s telling the truth, Chael Sonnen’s manager, Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., told MMAWeekly Radio recently.
When Rampage’s initial opponent went down before all this fiasco was going on, before Hamill stepped in to take the fight, when that went down I was with Chael and he was like ‘I’d love to fight Rampage.’ And I was like, ‘but you’re at 185-pounder’ and he was like, ‘I’d fight him in a heartbea.”
Sonnen actually spent a part of his career fighting at 205 pounds, and even told his management that if current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva decided to test the waters at light heavyweight again, he’d be just as happy to have their rematch at that weight.
Fighting big fights at 205 would not be a problem for him, Roberts commented.
(Chael said) whoever they think is the toughest guy, that’s the guy I want, Roberts said.
