What the deal is??? I mean do you really think this guy has nothing but an admission of guilt to release? tell me this guy didn't break the rules and I'll tell you how he did....

Chael Sonnen is as guilty as Oj simpson, I wonder what the hell is his reasoning tho. That appeal would be entertaining though to see wtf he can possible say. However as of right now Chael sonnen is an after though, this is the first time i have though of Chael sonnen name since he got busted, I wrote him off a while back. He was a joke before the AS fight, he won my respect during the fight and became an instant star. And like a Hollywood movie he managed to ****it all up in the end.

This about sums up Chael Sonnen, as far as I am conserved when he returns after his ban he is back to the mid core level going nowhere fighter he was going into the Nate fight never mind the Silva fight.

In fact I hope he gets a ban reduction and comes back in 6 months and they feed him to Palhares so we can watch him chew up and spit that fcuker out, Sonnen could cheat all he wants Steroids or not and still Palhares would rip Sonnen a new asshole

See here is my issue a healthy silva vs a clean or dirty sonnen would equal a First round knock out anderson. I'm starting to believe silva wanted to finish the fight on the ground and did not look to stand up. Please don't tell me Chael sonnen is a better striker than a HEALTHY silva.

Palhares would eat Sonnen alive, with or without PEDs. Sonnen's BJJ game is virtually nonexistant.

Just look at how Maia handled Sonnen, and then watch Sonnen in his fights against Okami and Nate. Okami and Nate, and Palhares are the physically strongest guys in the MW division, and yet Sonnen couldn't even really handle Demian Maia? Just seems fishy. Granted Okami has always been very timid to engage (he should have beaten Rich Franklin) and Marquardt is the Middleweight Kenny Florian, but I was still amazed at how much Sonnen improved.

However,

Chael with or without roids is a TERRIBLE matchup for Silva who has suspect TDD and wrestling. I think Silva has had some pretty lucky circumstances, as Lutter and Henderson were both winning before they decided to fight stupid, and Chael has nonexistant BJJ. A guy like Gerald Harris would wreck Silva.

yea it makes me laugh when people talk about Sonnen as been one of the best ground fighters in the division, he has good take downs and thats it, his skill on the ground is virtually non-existent, decent ground fighters dont just sit inside the guard and instead try to advance position, and they do that for a reason, and that reason is because there is a think called Jujitsu and there are a large majority of fighters who have the skills now days to hurt you from the guard.

fcuk it skill wise Sonnen is not even top 5 barley even top 10 never mind No.1 contender.

He will beat Anderson PEDs or not barring a lucky sub.
So you're saying Anderson without an injury and Chael with no PEDS in his training camp would still get outstruck like that?

And his shots wouldn't be hard enough to put Chael away?

And by the way... any sub on Chael isnt lucky. Chaels sub defense truely sucks.
