Let him smash Bisping and then do TUF against Silva! America vs. Brazil maybe or some other garbage.

I actually disagree i think Bisping would make better TV and for Sonnen doesn't deserve a rematch as of yet IMO.

He did tweet to Ed Soares:
"Ed, pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you."
Ed is an American of Brazilian descent who manages a bunch of Brazillian fighters, including Anderson Silva. If that's not racist, I'm not sure what exactly to call it.

Im sorry but that to me is not racism.............its actually quite hilarious  Racism to me is when you go out of your way to make someone who is different to you have a hard time. By saying vague tongue in cheek humour over a social network site in my book hardly is racism, if he were to become more personal towards Ed then yea , but just saying prance and dance to a demon is quite amusing and should be taken with a pinch of salt and its nothing Hollywood hasnt already done in a few comedies.
This is the problem with the world, people are so scared to speak now because the PC brigade is always watching them.

Some like Chael. Some like Jones. And some don't like either. Is it really something to make a big stink over?

Perfectly reasonable, at the end fo the day people can cheer for whoever they want 
However, i will disagree a little bit on the Jon Jones part - in the buildup to the Shogun fight he was literally getting torn to shreds on here.

Well, if Hollywood has done it in a few comedies, have at it then.
It's hardly being a member of the PC brigade to think that his continuous mocking of Brazilians as savages, makes him a racist prick.

Or referring to Portuguese as "just a half step up from Pig Latin." That last one was on TV, so I guess it isn't okay, since it's not on a social networking site...
Seriously, I don't get your attitude that this is okay since it's on the internet. Do you turn into someone you're not whenever you post on here? Or are you just burying your head in the sand to his obvious racism/xenophobia because you like the guy and can't deal with the reality that he's a bad guy? If you like him even though he's a bad guy, just say that. Don't come up with lame excuses for his behavior.

Dont waste your breath the fact that he stonchly denies sonnen's questionably antics & even trivialises it kind of gives you a window into where his views may lie
