20 Questions with Chael Sonnen

Chael Sonnen

Friday was a first for us at Gals Guide, as we got a thank you email from Chael Sonnen for his Pantydropper of the Week mention.  While we have been thanked by honorees in the past, this is our first thank you from someone who earned a 1.   (Perhaps he thought we were working on a backwards scale?)  

Feeling emboldened by Chael's email, we decided to throw the dice and ask him if he'd answer our "silly little questions".  Never one to turn down a chance to talk about himself, he said yes.  Love him or hate him, it's impossible to read the answers to these questions and not realize that Chael Sonnen knows EXACTLY how to cultivate his persona and push people's buttons.  He's gotta be one of the savviest men in MMA, and, while I'm still not a fan, I've got to admit that he's damn entertaining.

1.     When you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to stay 10 years old, AND be President. Still want both. Want to play with that pretty red button on my new desk....... 

2.     If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

The ability to make my e-mail address invisible to Hack journalists 

3.     What is the worst way you can think of to have to spend an evening?

Answering inane questions sent to me by strangers

4.     Better for your ego: A big-boobed hot blond on your arm or a Ferrari in the garage?

What is your theoretical Blonde doing "on my arm"? Hanging on it? Biting it? Sleeping under it? Tieing it off, and shooting dope into it? And what model Ferrari? What year? What condition? 

5.     What song is currently playing on your iPod?

 I only listen to vinyl albums. Favorite song is "Cowgirl in the Sand" by Neil Young.

6.     What is your favorite curse word?

"Commissioner"

7.     Why do you thing wrestling is the Achilles heel of so many MMA fighters?

  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

8.     What is your favorite movie?

"APOCALYPTO". I'm babysitting my two neices, age 5 & 7. We're watching it right now.

9.     Do these jeans make my butt look big?

See answer #7 above

10.  If you could only listen to one band/musician for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Husker Du

11.  Do you ever get in touch with your feminine side?  If so, how?

I've got my "Feminine side" upstairs right now. And my "Feminine Front", and maybe, if I play my cards right, my "Feminine Back". I'll let you know how things turn out.

12.  Which actor would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

Charles Dutton

13.  What would the title of that movie be?

"Inherit the Wind" 

14.  Who would you rather humiliate in the Ocatgon?  Michael Bisping or Anderson Silva?

Not really into the whole humiliation thing. You may need to go get some counseling. You're starting to freak me out. Are you wearing a pink dog-collar right now?

15.  Will you be my boyfriend?         

You’re proving my point. 

16.  What was your first job?

Slaughterhouse work. 14 years old. Blood, filth, fear. Like now.

17.  Would you rather be President of the United States or the lead singer of a rock band?

Your themes are becoming depressingly redundant. If you're out of gas, pull over. Don't wait in the middle lane for me to save you. You're gonna get wrecked.

18.  You just won $50 million in the lottery.  What’s the first thing you buy?

I would buy the website you work for and make you the Janitor for a week, then fire you.

19.  What is your worst habit?

Being patient with unimaginative people 

20.  Before you take us to bed or lose us forever, what would you like to say to the gals who are fans of MMA?

      Hi, Ladies. Enjoy yourselves. Life is short.

Now you should be a nice person and increase his panty dropper rating to 1.2 or something..

And less of everything else.

I didn't really find him funny at all.

More annoying. I chugged through his responses without a smile on my face.

And yet...

You and I both joined Gals Guide to MMA for the very purpose of commenting about him today now didn’t we?

Chaels winning, bro.

Lyoto Machida will literally kick your teeth out.

Quite honestly

I’ve always read the content…big fan of Panty Droppers. I don’t even know if that’s supposed to be my demo…but I find that shit hilarious.

Chael just has the magic to get me to make the jump, hit the join button, and say something. Which I can only assume to be the case with Jonathan. as well.

Lyoto Machida will literally kick your teeth out.

and share it with his father.

Anderson Silva would never fight "Bones". He is too scared to fight the real P4P champion. Nick Diaz, the man who will prove to the MMA world that he is the best WW in the world. Whenever some new guy comes to Mania and thinks he knows it all they take on the Wolfman and proceed to make fools of themselves. Still public enemy #1 and enjoying every minute of it. Oswalds smack is weaker than the alcohol content of Utah beer.

I joined so I could make a comment about him trying to sneak-fuck girls up the ass!

We're ok with that.

Joining just to make that comment, that is. Not the Sneaky Pete.

Don’t worry, if and when I do a Sneaky Pete, you won’t know about it. Wouldn’t be very sneaky otherwise, duuh!

by umbalata on May 24, 2011 4:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

if you didn't find him funny why force yourself to finish it?

I seriously don’t understand that.

when I’m watching tv and the show sucks, I change the channel, I don’t try to push through it and finish the show. the same goes for movies, books, newspapers, magazines, just about everything. I guess I could understand if you were starving and had a plate of some nasty food in front of you, yeah there you are going to plow through and finish. but this?

I have always loved Chael

Thank you GALS for getting Chael on 20 questions. He is very literal isn’t he. Others found the humor in your questions….. not Chael! I would definitely have given him a 5, but don’t think I would have tried bantering with him…not many signs of a sense of humor. Oh well, silence will be OK!

by cougar2 on May 23, 2011 10:37 AM EDT reply actions  

I really want Chael back doing analysis like he did on MMA Live. He is so good at it. He has the dry, deadpan humor backed by knowledge and insight. He’s probably my favorite fighter who does analysis.

Honey badger don't care.

LOVE THIS

This was hilarious! I like this guy. Leave the panty dropper ratings where they are or move them up… I bet he says the craziest shit in bed. I can dig it. Ill take one for the team if I ever get the chance and let you guys all know how it goes down… literally…. Ha. KIDDING.

by erinmcd on May 23, 2011 11:29 AM EDT reply actions  

You say you’re just kidding NOW, but it’ll be different when you meet Chael and he sweeps you off your feet with his killer “I’m told not emptying my sack increases my risk of getting cancer, so don’t just sit there like a retard” line.

by umbalata on May 23, 2011 12:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

LOL.

Some of it I was laughing, some of it I went “come on, play along already!”

Hi Chael! wave

by freesia39 on May 23, 2011 1:25 PM EDT reply actions  

That's the thing!

He was playing along the whole time. He knows exactly what he’s doing. This guy belongs in professional wresting!!!

the music comments give me pause

I love Neil Young and Husker Du! I wonder if he knows Bob Mould is gay (and so is Grant Hart for that matter.)

 #13 gave me a giggle tho.

Also, this (scroll down to “linked comment”).

Chael Sonnen is a liar and a criminal

But these questions are the Worst and I can’t blame Sonnen for trolling the hell out of every 2 bit hack ‘journalist’ out there.

I love how Donna ripped him a new assopening in the PDOTW yet now she's a tad smitten.

Women, give ‘em a little attention and they’re putty in yo’ hands. ;P

I really am not smitten, I promise.

I am impressed with how well he handles the fans, the press and his career. In that way, we are all putty in his hands.
