Facts are facts and wins are wins no matter how they occur
IF Chael just had a little more heart and a lot less bad luck. He would have joined BJ Penn and Randy Couture as the 3rd two division champion. At the same time having a W over the two current GOATS.
BEATING THE WEC CHAMPION PAULO FILHO: Chael Sonnen would have been WEC MW champion after he defeated the then undefeated WEC MW champion Paulo Filho, but couldn't get the belt upon winning because Filho missed weight making it a non-title fight.
NEARLY DEFEATING THE MW GOAT ANDERSON SILVA: For 5 rounds he put on a clinic actually rocking Silva a couple times with punches and beat him up on the ground, unfortunately Sonnen got too over confident....gave up in the last minute when he thought he'd had done enough to win on the cards and coast until the buzzer to become the new UFC MW champion......................and got submitted.
NEARLY DEFEATING JON JONES: Yep, it may be the most outrageous of them all, but its a fact. IF Chael just could have weathered the storm making it out of the first round, the doctor would have most definitely had stopped the fight due to Jones's big toe having been broken completely off hanging on by skin and Sonnen would have won by Dr. stoppage becoming LHW champion
