OH: UFC On Fox 2 Fighters Are Saying Fun Things

by KatGirl on Jan 18, 2012 9:01 AM EST in OH: Overheard

Tuesday was a crazy day of fighter swapping, event canceling and positive steroid testing for Zuffa organizations Strikeforce and the UFC. It was hard to keep up with it all - every time I tried to do work at my real job, I missed something else. The best thing to come from all of yesterday's news is that new brand new fights are now happening at UFC on Fox 2 on January 28 - a mere 10 days from now! We will now be seeing (for free!), Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping and Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman in the main card. Each of these fighters have been chatty since the announcements were made and this is some of what they were saying:

Chael Sonnen:

@ufc
UFC Chael: "I am going to knock the teeth out of this snot nosed Brit who calls himself royalty, who calls himself a Count. I am MMA royalty and America will tune into the Chael Sonnen show next Saturday on FOX"

UFC Bisping: "Chael Sonnen’s best weapon is his mouth, and that’s something that’s going to be absolutely useless in this fight. I see a very bright future for Chael Sonnen as a used car salesman very soon."

@ufc
UFC Bisping: "He's been kicked out of politics, kicked out of real estate, and I am going to kick him out of the middleweight division."
