Chael Sonnen admits heartbreak over latest loss to Fedor

[David Liebe Hart]

Is there really no fight where he lost the stand up? I find that hard to believe. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any though lol

 

[Vil7]

If he had watched recent tape on Fedor & re watched his fight against Rampage he would have realized Fedor's punches are nearly 3x faster than his.

This man has fought Fedor, Anderson, and Jones.

Crazy to think.

Think: Spinning back fuckup.

 

[Drain Bamage]

The fighters I'm a fan of have never said anything like that about anyone

You can be a fan of that, I'm not.

It's just business

 

[MPD-Psycho]

This is a Star Wars tournament. The Emperor just beat Jabba and is fighting Vader next.

 

[Vikassi]

it was a pathetic performance. he looked like an amatuer and shouldn't be fighting anymore.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

this is what it means to be a fighter. Somewhere over time that word became corrupted. It became about the punches and the kicks. But I’ve always believed it’s feeling like I’m feeling right now and getting out of bed anyway and facing the media and getting back on it. So now I have to be a fighter. I prefer to be a winner, I prefer to be on top of the world and looking down on everybody else. But today I’ve got to fight.”

Facts.

Still undefeated Chael...

WTF? He has lost about half his matches I believe. Some of them arent even debatable like the Silva fight and this one and the maia. Are you sublime?

 

[BBMN]

I mean... it is Fedor.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Chael usually does this after losing. Gave a lot of props to Silva, Jones and Evans after losing to them when he wasn't in hype mode. Nothing new here.

 

[grimballer]

There’s no shame in losing to someone like fedor, especially if you bring it to him

This however:

 

[UFC=Pride]

Still undisputed and undefeated

 

[ChoKuRei]

Chael’s so damn well spoken

When you always quit before taking serious damage you can stay pretty articulate late in the game

I don't recall how the stand up portion of the Jones fight went but that's the only one I can think of as a possibility.

 

[PancraseForever]

Very honest assessment from Chael. Its interesting how powerful Fedor is and how hard he punches. His hits dont even look that hard but guys crumble regardless.

The first one that cleaned his clock looked visibly hard as fuck tbh. Same as the first grounded strike Sonnen took after his somersault.

But he didn’t really lose the stand up . He fell down and then got demolished

[VinceArch]

Chael will be able to use what he learned when he faces Ryan Bader for the LHW title.

 

[Evenflow80]

Indeed, although I do think his hits look hard as well. He jumps his whole body into his punches when he's going full power. Shit is scary.

The Timmeh Sylvia fight is the greatest example of this. The look of shock on his face afterwards says it all.

Thats exactly the fight I had in mind when I said that!

The only time I remember seeing Fedor hit someone and it LOOKED hard was against Bret Rogers. That looked savage.
