Sonnen: Wand the most terrible guy in the UFC ever
Chael Sonnen: “He’s won his last two fights, so that means at one point he had three wins and eight losses. There’s never been a guy that terrible in UFC.”
Some seasons of the Ultimate Fighter features coaches who have no real animosity, and others have coaches who truly don’t like each other. The upcoming season of TUF Brazil 3 will be the latter, and according to Sonnen, his opposing coach Wanderlei Silva was a struggle to work with:
“As far as the incident with Wanderlei, there were many incidents,” Sonnen said. “One of them has garnered more attention than the others. The guy was a complete struggle on a daily basis to work alongside.”
Dana White noted that putting together a video was more deciding what to leave out than put in.
“We have a treasure chest of s*** from this show,” said White via text message.
Ever the master at building a fight, Sonnen’s tact with Silva is to say his Japanese success wasn’t close to how it looked, and his UFC record is among the worst ever.
“Wanderlei’s record is the single worst in the history of the UFC,” he claimed. “That’s not just the Zuffa owned UFC, but the SEG UFC as well. He currently has five wins and eight losses. That is the record. He’s won his last two fights, so that means at one point he had three wins and eight losses. There’s never been a guy that terrible in UFC.”
