With his manager, MMA INC’s Mike Roberts with me in studio last night, Chael Sonnen called in. I had never spoken to Chael, and I’m kicking myself for it. Some highlights:
-Was already slated to fight Silva next anyway
-To Dana: “I don’t know what’s going to happen (with his fight with Silva), but I promise there will be a fight”
– “I compare Anderson to Britney Spears. She shaved her head to get headlines. Britney Silva went up to 205, retired, etc. Nobody cares”-“Watch him walk in a room. People come up to me with a pen and a pad, no one cares about him. BJ Penn sold out the Dubai fight, nobody cares about Anderson”
– “When my music hits and the doors close, the fight’s on. I’m not going to dance, juke or jive. I will find him”
– “You know what you’re getting (with SIlva). A guy who pretends he doesnt speak English, is a fantastic athlete, and acts like a fool. If you like that, go buy his t-shirt with the other two guys who like him.”
-“staph infection seems to be the new rave, everybody whining they cant fight because they have staph, Id be embarassed if i didnt get a staph infection”
– “I’ve beaten every champion of every company out there. I’ve lost ten seconds total of my fights combined. You ask me how I’m going to beat him, ask the other 25 guys in my way.
