“It’s one of those things where, something stinks here. He’s talking more than ever. He’s saying things like \u2018Chael better not get hurt’ and \u2018Chael better not fall out.’ I’ve never pulled out, ever. If I’m hurt or I’m sick, I just show up. Never do I complain or I pull out. What that’s telling me, he’s going to claim he’s hurt. He’s just doing all these things to tip his hand here, and something stinks and I don’t know what it is, but something’s going on.”

\n“I was with him on the set of The Ultimate Fighter, and I watched him every day not practice. It seemed like he watched me every day twice a day practice. I’d see him in the hallway and he’d see me covered in five or six pounds of sweat and he’d be walking in with fruit, he was always eating pears. He’d be walking around with a pear in his hand as dry as can be and I thought ‘you don’t look like a guy who’s getting ready to fight,’ not a five round fight, particularly not when you’ve been out of the ring for a year. This just doesn’t make sense.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In a recent interview with MMAFighting.com<\/a>, Chael P. Sonnen, discussed his thoughts on his May 31st main event against Wanderlei Silva.<\/p>\n

In fairness, Sonnen also stated that as far as he can remember, Silva has never cancelled a fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
