Sonnen's loss to Rashad is the worst way to go out IMO

[Arrrrgh]

It's good Sonnen is undefeated.

 

[PanicWrassler]

Chael Sonnen is garbage.

Rashad wasn’t at that point so obviously he battered Chael like the loser he is.

 

[DoctorDeelon]

Chael had a hell of a career and made the most with the least. Obviously he was a very good fighter but he had an incredibly boring style, a tendency towards mental lapses that saw him get caught in subs or shell up when hurt, and he could never win the big one. But despite all that he'll go down as one of the biggest names and most financially successful MMA fighters.

I liked how he flailed his legs around all spastic like he was swimming.
That's how you know he was really trying to escape because that's a normal technique to escape back-mount.

He was tapping out with his feet. There's levels to this shit

 

[Kdup]

I rewatched the fight and it was kinda rough to watch Chael end his last UFC fight ever like this. He was always a trash talker and was good at selling fights by saying things to annoy everyone but I expected more fight from him

Rashad took control and basically had his way with Chael. Look closer at the finish, Chael got mounted and pretty much gave up his back without resistance. He got pounded and you hear him saying: "ow, ow, stop, ow, please stop". Terrible to hear that coming from a so called elite mixed martial artist. Poor Chael couldn't even stand up and walk straight after that

The most awkward thing was that Chael and Rashad were regularly doing the Fox broadcast segment together both before AND after the fight. Not sure who's decision that was but it's not something I would have done that's for sure

At least chael didn’t tap to strikes like a bitch. Went out on his shield with more CTE like a true prize fighter.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Chael never claimed to be a martial artist. In fact he stated he didn't even know what martial arts is. He was a FIGHTER.

His words not mine.

That fight was a fix. I don’t think Rashad knew that but Sonnen did. Watch how he doesn’t even try to defend the takedown and at one point even falls on his back and pulls Rashad on top of him. The only one worse was the Tito fix.

 

[ThePunisher]

It seems whenever Chael finds himself in tough positions, he never really fights back, just like BJ Penn didn't.

You say that like people have something to gain out of fixing those two fights.

 

[kimocomplex]

was this after testing positive for PEDs?

he probably had negative levels of testosterone

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Chael has quite a few awful losses in his career.. Mouth bigger than his career..

 

[ShorterThanLeprechauns]

I remember hearing Chael screaming for the ref to step in as well.

And I’ve definitely noticed that awkward energy when Rashad and Chael are seated together, it’s almost like Rashad sticks his chest out more knowing the vicious beat down he was responsible for

Chael says a lot of shit. You shouldn't listen to his shit.

Chael was a wrestler and a choke artist.

Asking for a fight to be stopped is the same as tapping.

Wrong the act of tapping makes you look like a bitch. Whining in real life, doesn’t show up on a gif.

 

[grimballer]

chael was mentally weak

as soon as the fight doesn't go his wsy he checks out.

thats why he was a trash talker. he was just trying to hide his insecurities

He’s a bum who could talk

 

[Prince Nephilim]

The way his feet were just flopping in the air while getting t’d off on....nobody needs to go out like that
