"I'd rather have Anderson who's big and tall and those long legs that I can come out and run over than Vitor." - Chael Sonnen, on who he'd rather fight for the UFC middleweight championship after securing his title shot with a dominating victory over Nate Marquardt at UFC 109. (AOL)
"That guy’s no more the top fighter out there than Bigfoot is roaming the woods." - Sonnen (Yahoo)
Either he'll beat Andersen, which would result in the biggest MMA pwnage we've seen in some time, or he'll get KTFO and we'll still see the biggest MMA pwnage we've seen in some time. Here are some of his most recent quotes regarding the Spider
"This guy is no more real than the Loch Ness Monster. And if he needs me to expose him then I will." - Sonnen
"Look, [Anderson Silva's] not my kind of a guy. This is a grown man that’s got earrings. This is a grown man who wears his hat sideways. This is a guy who wears pink T-shirts. This guy wouldn’t make it 12 minutes in my neighborhood." - Sonnen
"I live in a nice neighborhood and we’d still run him out." - Sonnen, running with a rough posse in suburban Oregon.
"That is an absolute myth, and all these guys can buy into it, but there’s a young man out in Portland, Oregon, that is not signing up on that bandwagon." - Sonnen. That man is Greg "Dong" Oden. (MMA Weekly)
"If Anderson ever signed to fight me, which is highly unlikely, he’ll be getting a verbal beating like you’ve never seen." - Sonnen
