It'll never stop amazing me--and I enjoy bringing it up--that people loved all of the ignorant, insulting, and sometimes hateful things that Chael Sonnen said, because everyone agreed he was just playing a character to promote his fights.
He was never playing a character. At best he was occasionally exaggerating his feelings, but the truth is, he really is that aggressively ignorant and always has been. And he should be held accountable for his words and actions because he never has been and they were all clearly genuine.
Steroids.
Fraud.
Racism.
Habitual fighter bashing.
Phantom taps against Anderson so that maybe the ref won't stop the fight.
Unapologetic for being a complete crook.
These comments about Judo, while stupid, aren't that big of a deal but just remind me of what kind of guy he is.
