Sonnen to Dana - "I want extra security around me when I go to Brazil to film TUF"

[Mikeyz]

UFC moneyweight Chael Sonnen fights next week against Rashad Evans but already has his following two engagements set. Sonnen will fly to South America after UFC 167 to be coach opposite rival Wanderlei Silva on the next Brazilian edition of The Ultimate Fighter.

Over the years, Sonnen has lobbed many xenophobic insults at Brazilian fighters as well as the nation itself. In a recent interview with Brazilian news outlet Folha de Sao Paulo, Sonnen admitted to not feeling safe as a future TUF coach in Brazil and said that he requested extra security for his time filming the reality competition series.

I still can't believe Dana is allowing Chael to go there in the first place

Paranoids gonna paranoid


Xenophobic sherdoggers in 3,2,1....

No shame in that. Not sure if he's just hyping up TUF or he really means it.

Possibly both. Dude has balls. Ya gotta give him that.

 

[mason jar]

You know, they really should put this TUF Finale on PPV. People will buy it just to see if Chael makes it from the dressing room to the cage to actually fight.

Chael's got balls. I'll give him that. But he's not stupid.

A lot of Brazillians are extremely nationalistic/patriotic, and lord knows Chael has talked enough shit about the country and its heroes.

its' not like he's going to be strolling around the beaches at night, wandering in to favelas.

but hey he's playing on the stupidity and xenophobia of ufc fans - at least he knows what he's doing in that respect.

 

[Cygnus-X]

Chael's got balls.

Actually, doesn't he have a doctor's prescription that says he doesn't?

 

[Azathoth]

Tha gangsta is afraid? Oh poor thing... kind of funny seeing all the shiit you say backfires now uh?

 

[TatesBeauty**]

Lol Chael is gonna get shanked. Possibly by one of the contestants.

 

[jayBMX]

The security is for the Brazilian people.

Chael would be proud.

 

[maddwarf]

Chael wants extra security? then he should pay for it himself. he made the situation what it is
