Just watched the trailer for "Once I was a Champion". In the trailer, Sonnen says that Evan was not an intelligent person. Wasn't Tanner a mentor of sorts when Chael was starting out? I'm not trying to stir the pot, I just want to know that story. Any insight, anyone?
I remember reading his posts how he blew his purse money in one night after his events.
He also ate a baby once.
I actually can't wait to see this movie. That clip had me very mad but I would like to see it in context.
TTT
jimbobyeaboy - Chael should just join the WWE and rid the MMA world of his stupidity. Nobody wants to watch a blanket fight a spider anyway.
Yes.
Yes we do.
My God this Chael!
Forrest Gimp - Without reading the question: yes, he did.
Legit LOL
I believe Sonnen was inferring that it was a foolish of Tanner to put himself in the situation that led to his death. From the details I've read it sounds like Evan was ill prepared. Not knocking him for that though.
Only reason as a fan to not want a rematch is if your an Anderson fanboy afraid to see him actually get beat. Why wouldn't you want to see it when he's been the only person to get that close to taking the belt from Silva?
Sonnen doesn't exactly lay n pray, good takedown set-ups and a busy top game. It's a fight any fan should want to see.
I would like to see what Anderson does differently this time. He's the best P4P IMO, maybe GOAT, would be great to see him challenged.
I assumed that it was a quote shown completely out of context, surely that's a big possibility?
Chael chooses strong language to get his point across. Context is important.
Will this movie ever come out? I really want to watch it and it seems like eons ago that the trailer was released and the first viewing occurred.
Wait til you see the UN-edited statement, you never know what topic they were on or what he was referring too. You are a victim of assuming.
1 2 3 ACE - I assumed that it was a quote shown completely out of context, surely that's a big possibility?
I hope so. If not, his whole schtick of playing the heel might not be schtick. That means he's really and truly a prick.
Tanner was a good man and a caring man.
He lost his precious life in a stupid,preventable way.
That wasnt intelligent behavior on Tanners part.
That cant be argued.

If you ask Chael for his opinion, theres a good chance you'll get it whether you like it or not.
He was just saying that Tanner was acting irrationally.
