Lance Armstrong gave himself cancer says Sonnen**UPDATE** Sonnen Denies

"When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this ‘Hey, poor me, let's find a cure for cancer' campaign instead of just coming clean and saying, ‘Look, here's what I did, I screwed myself up, and I hope people learn from my mistakes.' You just watch these guys and can't help but think, God, what a fraud. You got the whole Michael Phelps being a pothead thing too. I'm just glad I'm in the business I'm in so I can get them in the cage and kick the crap out of them."

Well, I gotta say I didn't see this twist coming. Chael Sonnen has turned his focus away from Anderson Silva and onto Lance Armstrong. Yes, the guy who rides bicycles. When asked by Larry Pepe on Pro MMA Radio what really bothers Sonnnen, Chael all of a sudden went on this rant about the seven-time Tour de France victor. The number one middleweight contender alleges that Lance actually gave himself cancer by blood-doping and taking performance enhancing drugs. Once again, Mr. Sonnen didn't let a little thing like facts get in the way of spewing hot air. A quick Lance Armstrong search on Google reveals that the cyclist was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996, but won his first Tour de France while first being accused of using PED's in 1999. I'm surely not one to nitpick on facts when it comes to pre-fight trash talk, but in this case, the Oregon native has officially crossed the line. And who knows where he was going with Michael Phelps hitting the bong a couple years back. Where do you come out on this nonsense? Any cycling fans, or virtually anybody else for that matter, take offense to this garbage?
Odd rant.

I swear the more Chael opens his mouth the more I want to see Andy just smash him.

Sorry Mods, please delete this post, as the same topic was posted right around the same time.

I like this! Did you think of it?!


If Sonnen still talks trash AFTER the fight, then I will not like him, but for now he's not doing much different than any of the trash talkers of old. (Except Chael says things that are somewhat articulate, or at the very least funny.) He's getting a ton of interviews, and interviews = $. I would never hold a grudge against a low-income athlete for wanting more hard earned $.

It´s not like he´s not saying the true.
Ciclism it´s probably the sport with more "X-factor" involved.

Besides, only a slower person would believe that Lance was climbing 7 miles hills, non stop at full gas only on natutar ability...

p.s. Im a fan of Lance, i wish he had achieved his 8th win at the Tour, but come on, you gotta see behind the curtain sometines!

I was thinking the same thing.

That's like saying, "you f*cking prick! You just died, you motherf*cking prick! What kind of a bitch dies!"

Its really distasteful, his rants are getting so bad to the point where he's going to start to lose his hardcore fanbase(since he doesn't have a casual one). And when you lose all your fans, AND you can't KO anyone, that's when you get fired. Come on Chael keep being a jackass, get yourself fired!

Yeah, he just revealed the mean bitch that he is.
Im looking forward to see if he keeps many fans after being this evil. Cancer is a no-go for sure no matter the situation.

Chael is to the mma world what santa claus is to children: the absolute truth

he's also a hardcore conservative, which means when something goes wrong, deny, deny, and then deny some more. not that hardcore liberals dont do that as well :)
i forget what site i saw the interview on, but today he not only denies making the comment he also denies being on the radio all together

Exactly, and you have people promoting this guy like he's a great talker. He really isnt, he runs his mouth a lot, but nothing of substance comes out of it.

Joe Rogan had the audacity to compare him to Muhammed Ali....

Like...really? Are you serious?

Atleast then he'll shut his mouth and go back to the Chael that no one cared about because he didn't trash talk or say stupid shit, rather he was just a cornbread nerd..and that's who he'll go back to after this one, thus no one caring about him.

Anyone with a tight submission game will beat him.

So tired of his 15 minutes of fame. He's only in the main event because he's fighting Anderson Silva, not because he's "Chael Sonnen". No one ever looked forward to any of his fight until now and he acts like he's the biggest threat to the MW division since Dan Henderson. Even when he fought Nate, people were looking forward to Nate winning and earning a second shot at Anderson. After he looses Saturday, hope he goes back to doing what he does best, tapping out on the undercard.

See ya Chael.
