Chael Sonnen To USA Today, "I'm The Best Fighter In The World"

Photo

Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping? I'm almost glad that Mark Munoz was injured (not true)! More so even than the actual fight, I can't wait for all of the smalk talk we have to look forward too. Take two of the biggest smack talkers in MMA and face them off, and we have the perfect storm of headline worth quotes! Sonnen was recently interviewed by USA Today, and he had some pretty classic quotes. Chael managed to insult various fighters in a fairly short interview, while managing to find the time to call himself , "...the best fighter in the world," Some of his better quotes are below.

"When I started on the Nogueira brothers -- and of course, I leave them alone now; I don't take any pleasure in them falling from grace, or certainly the big one having to go through an injury; that brings me no pleasure at all. But when I started on them, they were supposedly this untouchable pair, fighters of fighters, men's men. And I'm looking at it going, "No, you're not.""

(on Wanderlei Silva) "A guy puts a tattoo on the back of his skull, puts his beady eyes on you and rolls his wrists around, and all of a sudden the whole world thinks that's scary. That doesn't do anything for me. I'll slap you right on your face while you're rolling your wrists around."

Oh, Chael, I always forget how much fun it is to have you around!

....bisping v. sonnen?

I’ve been workin too much. What about more maia? Who does he get to submit now???

The bottom line is Georges is being a little bitch. He didn’t step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you’re told, but why wouldn’t you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn’t say anything at all, just like he’s not going to say anything about me calling him a bitch now. If I saw BJ Penn walking down the street and called him a bitch, we would be fighting right there on the spot. — Nick Diaz

That's pretty crazy.
