Chael Sonnen : (5) " It doesn’t matter if I’m a rival of Anderson Silva’s or not; I’m also very objective. And I’m not going to take something from a guy that he earned. Anderson Silva earned the right to be called the greatest of all time. And those are just the facts. " - Chael Sonnen " As fighters, the stark reality is, there’s times in that cage when we want out. There’s times when we’ve had enough and we want out, and we’re able to recognize defeat. " - Chael Sonnen " I’m candy-coated poison, and you should not believe anything else. " - Chael Sonnen " Wrestlers tend to do good in MMA because they tend to be just some tough guys. It’s not a karate situation where they grew up their whole life punching the air; in a wrestling situation, you grab a hold of another human being every day. " - Chael Sonnen " I would never discredit the sport or my opponent by reading my injury list before or after the fight. I’ve always thought it’s a very underhanded thing to do, and it’s a very cowardly thing to do, to come out and say, ‘I’m hurt,’ particularly if you win a fight. " - Chael Sonnen
