If you have a camera or a microphone and Chael Sonnen is in the room, you better hide it because he will do whatever he can to create more buzz about his upcoming fight, simply because that&#8217;s what he does best. Whether you love him or hate him, every time he has a media appearance he has the uncanny ability to make people want to pay to see him get dominated or walk away with the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Chael Sonnen recently appeared on Joe Rogan&#8217;s podcast &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; and chatted away with the UFC commentator and stand-up comedian for almost three straight hours. While some may stay away form the podcast in fear of having to hear Chael Sonnen in character for three hours, it&#8217;s interesting to note that the Sonnen that showed up was not looking to increase the PPV buy-rate for his upcoming bout, nor did he cut any professional wrestling promos. Joe Rogan brought out the best of his interviewee, and Sonnen sounded like a real person. The interview between the two was very candid and addressed a number of serious topics (as well as a few silly ones) including how Chael Sonnen overcame the mental block that allowed him to be the trash talker he is today.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/42174849\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They approached the subject of what Chael Sonnen really would have thought went down if his rematch with Anderson Silva took place in Brazil in front of 80,000 to 100,000 screaming natives as originally planned, and Sonnen responded very honestly:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It would\u2019ve been a scene. I don\u2019t think they could\u2019ve controlled it. They swore that they could, they\u2019d have presidential security there, they were planning on having the President of Brazil there, so they\u2019d have their secret service. It\u2019s like, \u2018guys, you can\u2019t do it.\u2019 There was just a soccer game and 73 were trampled to death. You can\u2019t control a crowd when they decide to storm, you just can\u2019t. It\u2019s displaced responsibility. You can\u2019t control that, especially when I\u2019m the main event. And the relevance to that is, it means the beer started pouring five hours earlier. So now your not only talking about an insightful crowd, you\u2019re talking about a drunk crowd.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rogan continued on and asked him what he thought would have happened if Chael Sonnen beat Anderson Silva in his native country:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I think it would have been very, very bad. And I would not have backed off one bit. Because I\u2019m not gonna change; I\u2019m gonna dance with the one that brought me. I\u2019m going to be aggressive, I\u2019m going to be in your face\u2026I\u2019m going to do my job as soon as Bruce Buffer gets out of my way. And I can\u2019t change, I don\u2019t know how to change. This is what I\u2019m programmed to do. I hate to talk like one of those maniacs, \u2018I\u2019d have given my life blah blah blah,\u2019 but Joe, I swear to you, hand to God, I\u2019d have given my life to win that championship if I had to.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Let\u2019s not forget, this isn\u2019t tough guy talk. I signed the contract to go to Brazil to do the fight, and in my heart I thought, \u2018I don\u2019t know how this is gonna go.\u2019 I made my mother promise she wouldn\u2019t go. My mother doesn\u2019t get it, she\u2019s an older woman. She\u2019s got a ruby or a diamond on every finger, you know, you don\u2019t go into South America like that, let alone a fight. It was just one of those deals, but look, this is what I\u2019m gonna do.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva are set to headline UFC 148 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Chael Sonnen talks, people tend to listen.
