What kind of dirt can American Gangster possibly have over Zuffa.

[FIGHTING TALK]

Without doubt the most powerful fighter in the UFC.

Political gangster. Businessman. One of the smartest if not thee smartest guy in the sport.

Consecutive title shots despite being crushed at mw.

His own tv show, more or less.

2nd highest paid fighter in the company, despite not even being top 10 p4p or having ever been champion.

Multiple appearances and endless airtime seemingly at ever opportunity.

Any idea what he knows, that he shouldn't?

 

[GusBrooks]

Nothing. He just gets people hyped to see him fight due to his WWE antics which in turn makes more money for Dana/UFC so they are more inclined to give him high profile fights. Also LOL at Sonnen being the smartest guy, anyone with half a brain knows his gimmick and if he was as smart as you say maybe he could have avoided his mortgage fraud...

 

[Kingofdubbs]

What???

 

[Face Stab]

He knows how to promote a fight. He knows how to do media. He knows how to get people to watch the fights.


It's not fucking complicated. Use the TS as an example kiddos. Stay in school.

 

[EJRMAN513]

The gift of gab.

 

[315MMAFighter]

Its the whole, he was a politician thing, he talks alot, that is what politics is mainly about, he gets peoples attention with his face and talk

 

[315MMAFighter]

No doubt that Chael is one hell of a fighter though, guys got tons of heart

 

[ShoelessRye]

He has a fanbase and the ability to sell PPV's. He's very likely done now though, no road to the titles UNLESS Anderson drops his title after beating Wiedman to fight Jones in December or January.

If Silva vacated it to go after superfights, the UFC could set up a four man tournament to crown the new champion - And Sonnen could maybe get a spot in that set-up, along with Machida, Mousasi and one other.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

Chael is the heir apparent to the presidency.

 

[Vargsang]

"crushed at mw."

Haha, he got the consecutive title shots because he completely destroyed the champion for 6 rounds before unfortunately slipping.

No matter how much I like chael, but does it really matter? He lost with a busted face. He looked like a women full of makeup after their first fight.

you mean his half a Robin Hood

 

[hto63]

he might not be the best fighter. But his talents extend far beyond his physical ability. And that's very valuable in the entertainment industry.

I find it hilarious that GSP gets so much shit but grinding your way to a decision if youre chael sonnen is completely destroying someone.

Its amusing what an 80s pro wrestler shtick can convince people of

 

[wlu29]

I really doubt he is the second highest paid fighter

Yeah you're way smarter, that's why you're living in a mansion counting your millions of dollars not wasting your time posting on Internet forums..oh wait

 

[Furious George]

he could have avoided his mortgage fraud...

He took that to get his mom out of trouble. Chael was not actually involved I heard.

 

[Shaky Bones]

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he was going for Dana's job or something similar once Dana retires. But clearly the guy has the gift of the gab and hype fights, guys like that are worth their weight in gold.

I mean look at Tito honestly he wasn't in many 'exciting' fights except the ones he got beaten in but man that guy could sell a fight and I always wanted to see him fight.

 

[ShootFighter09**]

Chael is the 10 million man. He promotes the hell out of all his fights. I doubt you will hear Ed/Anderson bad mouth Chael. He made them both alot of money.

There are still big money fights for Chael. Chael vs Belfort, Chael vs Forest 2.

 

[VAfan]

well if the pattern holds, we can expect to see chael get a shot at winner of cain - bigfoot in a few months.
