Chael Sonnen is not known for biting his tongue.
I don’t know if he was provoked or not (probably not) but Sonnen decided to throw out his opinion of Georges St. Pierre on his twitter account recently
I watch hockey and rugby. Anything that has a remote chance of breaking out into a fight. Which is exactly why I stopped watching George.
I get it. It is kind of humorous, but Sonnen is quickly becoming more known for his one-liners than his fighting.
A couple of things stand out to me about this.
1. Sonnen criticizing anyone’s inability to finish fights is laughable given the fact that 15 of his 25 wins have gone to a decision. In fact every win he has in the UFC or WEC came by decision.
2. St. Pierre is a champion that actually won the title when he got the opportunity, something Sonnen managed to let slip away.
3. Maybe if Sonnen worried more about his legal issues and steroid usage, he wouldn’t have to throw out punch lines to stay relevant in the eyes of MMA fans.
I respect what Sonnen can do in the octagon, but he is far from the most exciting fighter in MMA and he has yet to hold a championship. His act is starting to grow tiresome and is starting to cause me to laugh at him rather than with him.
