The Brazilian Tap and the Need for a Rematch
After he spent four rounds dominating the consensus pound-for-pound king, Chael Sonnen (24-11-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC, #2 IWMMAR) made a mistake. He let an arm slip out of the guard and got caught in a triangle. It happens to plenty of great fighters, and doesn’t diminish the dominance he had earlier in the fight, which [...]

Chael Sonnen, Please Stop Talking
For the most part, I like Chael Sonnen (25-10-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC, #3 IWMMAR). He’s a nice guy, very fan-friendly and very charismatic. He trains with a great camp and has a good mind for MMA. But as he waits for a title shot, he should really, really stop talking. In announcing (again) that he’s [...]
