Is Sonnen scared of Wanderlei Silva?

Spin it however you have to. The fact is the biggest mouth in MMA didn't have anything to say when Wanderlei confronted him. And Wanderlei was far far away before Chael was able to find his voice again.


So, so, succinct.


 Chael always wins guys.  Face it.

Just seemed like chael didn't give a fuck. Wandy would have no chance of beating chael, anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.


1. Chael shoots the double
2. Wand grabs his neck and squeezes
3. Chael shrieks in agony, tapping twice, then asks "What?" when the fight is stopped.

It was not exactly the right time or place to get in a fist fight while riding in a van together to represent the UFC in front of the Texas State legislature or whereever they were going.

Chael was clearly trying to be respectful and friendly towards Vanderlei.

wanderlei has one submission win thats not due to punches...

Wasn't Wand on crutches from
knee surgery when this happened? I really doubt Chael felt that threatened. Phone Post

I love Wanderlei but Chael would destroy him... Phone Post

Hell yeah fael was scared.......no ref to save him

Charel already commented his side of the story. Wanderlei was super friendly then they turned on the cameras and basically flipped a switch and said he started being mean and this is why he really doesn't like wanderlei. Phone Post

Not a fan of Chael, but this is my opinion on what's going on..

Chael puts on an act. Like it or not, it's an act. This is a situation where he has a camera on him for UFC promotional purposes and Wandy confronts him about his comments on Brazil.

Chael is in a situation where he can't say "Sorry man, it's for the show" and back down or else he blows his whole act. He's also not about to go arguing with Wandy about how all Brazilians are thugs and live in the dirt.

He looks uncomfortable because he's really not sure what he can say to avoid a confrontation that he doesn't actually buy into himself, and also keep up his act. This becomes obvious when Chael comments on the video himself, essentially saying "I couldn't even understand what he was saying so I just said 'Thank You'." He's trying to save the face of his character with that comment.

ArtWanderlei -  what's he supposed to do, fight him in a van?

Yeah Silva loves Brazil so much that he left it to live in the US............

It looked to me like this is what went on
Wand: bla bla bla ( monkey language)

Chael: English motherfucker do you speak

Wand : jdudidhdjjdkssksjd Phone Post

He also damn near tore Bispings head clean off.

Chael would, like I said, shriek, tap, and question, in that order.

Whoa. I gotta learn this quote system better.

Why would ANY fighter be scared of Wanderlei in 2011?

Wand hasn't been a guy that fighters are afraid of since Cro Cop and Hendo ruined him back in 2006/07.

Does anybody really think Chael's afraid of Wanderlei? I just don't see it, Wandy might be capable of beating Chael, but I'd think Chael Sonnen would be the favorite to win that fight at this stage. I could see Chael maybe wanting to avoid confrontation, but I have a hard time believing he's afraid of Wand.
