Chael Sonnen He is truly a controversial fighter. Famous for his arrogance, the American, who is one of the TUF 17 coaches, stated that humility is one of the secrets to success as a team commander. The speech doesn't even remotely resemble his statements before the duel against Anderson Silva, mocked and criticized several times due to disaffection.
“The first thing I need to do is be humble because I know I'm not capable of doing much. I can create a positive environment for athletes to look to the future, encourage, motivate and inspire. Nothing is more important than motivation, it is ahead of technique and knowledge”, said the controversial Sonnen.
Despite the humble speech, Sonnen did not lose practice in promoting his fights. Just as he did in the clashes against Anderson Silva, the North American says that a duel against Jon Jones, a rival coach in TUF, will be the greatest in Ultimate history.
“Next year, I have a big event, the biggest fight in UFC history. Sonnen vs. Jones, in New Jersey. You will hear a lot about this, but not now. The Ultimate Fighter 17 is coming”, concluded Chael, who at the end of the reality show will face Jones, on April 27, for the organization's light heavyweight belt.

this chael sonnen is very cool. It is certainly one of the most controversial merch, I watched some interviews with this American citizen and those who know him say that he is a unique person due to his character and obscurity.
But when it comes to bragging: – it's up to him.
Also right! After taking a beating from the spider, all he can do is remain piano, haha..
great post…….
He thinks this fight will be the biggest of all time.....(just his idea) because in my opinion he doesn't even have the record to challenge Jones, he's far below, how can Dana give him this chance, because he has better people in the category………fight of the century would be jones vs spider…………they are the 2 biggest names in MMA!!! chael is a fake!!!
