People forget that Sonnen was almost a fringe journey man after the Maia fight. Underdog wins against Okami and Marquardt, got him on back on track. And he was never that known until he trashed talked 117. that fight wasn't that sellable until he started talking... and then the flood gates opened.

That's exactly how it was for me. I didn't really even notice Sonnen until the Dan Miller fight. I'm not even sure if I could have told you anything about him prior to that.
He's milking every drop from his 15 minutes of fame now though. I think he's a a funny guy...he's got big balls....and he fights his *** off win or lose.
He's a cheater like Hendo and a felon to boot, but he gave me my favorite fight of all time against Anderson and I can't f**king wait to see it again, even if it ends the same.
A few weeks ago he tore up my favorite fighter calling him Grease St Pierre and he disrespected Canada, but I'll still be a fan for life. the guy is an MMA comedy gold.

Ya the s--- he said about Canada in the landsberg interview kinda ticked me off. But it's Chael and I can't hate on the guy for what he's doing anymore. The only reason it bothers me is cause if somebody said something bad about the US he'd probably s--- a brick
