Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall and 205 pounds, boy, until I met you, I didn’t know they could stack crap that high,
-- Chael Sonnen -
As an athlete, you'll never feel bad about losing, but what you will feel bad about is underperforming. That's a real thing and it happens a lot when we don't live up to our potential. And that keeps you up at night and can give you years and years of regret. It could be a relationship, it could be a homework assignment, or it could be an athletic competition. If you don't go out and perform to the best of your ability, it will really bother you.
-- Chael Sonnen -
They'll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous, failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times. But it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.
-- Chael Sonnen -
You know, these guys want to talk about God; 'Oh, I want to thank God. I want to thank God.' Listen, I'm a God-fearing man, go to church every Sunday and have since I was a boy. But if I ever found out that God cared one way or another about a borderline illegal fist-fight on Saturday night, I would be so greatly disappointed that it would make rethink my entire belief system.
-- Chael Sonnen -
You're looking at the reflection of perfection. You're looking at the man who gets all your attention. You're looking at the man with the biggest arm. At the man, with the greatest charm, the man in Chicago who will do harm to the guy three doors down. Whatcha gonna do, when you know who? How ya gonna deal, with the man of steel? How ya gonna react to Sonnen's attack?
-- Chael Sonnen -
Even if I thought I could get a submission I'm not laying underneath a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide TV. Some guys subscribe to that theory but I am a Republican and we don't do that.
-- Chael Sonnen -
My hands are heavy and most importantly they are very fast. I have been called the fastest white man alive. I don't work submissions and not because I am trying to prove something I'm just frankly not very good at 'em. I am very good at getting away. I've never fought anybody whether it was in practice or competition who could hold me down. Even if I thought I could get a submission I'm not laying underneath a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide T.V. Some guys subscribe to that theory but I am a Republican and we don't do that
-- Chael Sonnen -
Listen Wanderlei, I will do a home invasion on you. I will cut the power to your house and the next thing you'll hear is me climbing up your stairs in a pair of night vision goggles I bought in the back of Soldier of Fortune magazine. I'll pick the lock to the master room door, take a picture of you in bed with the Nogueira brothers working on your 'jiu-jitsu'. I'll take said quote unquote photograph, post it at dorksfrombrazil.com, password - not required, username - not required. That, Wanderlei, is how you threaten someone. Dummy.
-- Chael Sonnen -
Machida is not a bad guy; he's a victim of the brazilian education system. There are better ways to get electrolytes than drinking piss.
-- Chael Sonnen -
If you're not willing to go too far, you'll never go far enough in life.
-- Chael Sonnen -
When you’re the best fighter in the world today, they don’t call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen.
-- Chael Sonnen -
You tell Anderson Silva that I'm coming over and I'm kicking down his backdoor and patting his little lady on the ***** and I'm telling her to make me a steak, medium-rare just how I like it.
-- Chael Sonnen -

-- Chael Sonnen -
They say if somebody has done something you want to do, all you need to do is go out and copy them.
-- Chael Sonnen -
Say what you want before the fight but when it's done, you accept the result.
-- Chael Sonnen -
I found that to build mental toughness, you need to inconvenience yourself. The early morning runs, if you hate early mornings. The late night runs, if you hate late nights. The snowy cold, the worst conditions you can get, put yourself in those and really make it inconvenient and you start to get a genuine expectation of winning for the price you have to pay.
-- Chael Sonnen -
If Michael Bisping ever addresses me in a public comment again, I will bury him where he stands.
-- Chael Sonnen -
My phone rings, they call me up and say, 'Chael, your testosterone level is too high.' I say, 'Well, how high was it?' They say, '0.7.' I said, 'What's normal?' They say, '0.6.'; I said, 'One-tenth? You're telling me I'm one-tenth higher than the average man? Re-test that - you must have caught me on a low day.'
-- Chael Sonnen -
When I was young they used to call me 'The Foreman,' not because I was in charge but because I did the work of four men.
-- Chael Sonnen -
I should be the reigning champion. I punch a guy 300 times, he punches me a couple and they call him the champion? In what parallel universe does that make you the winner? I am the champion. I’ve been the champion. Anderson’s ribs have the exact same problem that his hands and his feet have, they’re attached to a cowardly person.
-- Chael Sonnen -
As soon as you start to get tired, as soon as you start to get behind, as soon as your coach starts yelling at you, a lot of doors open up to quit; you got to find that one reason to stay in that battle, one reason to stay in the fire and fight.
-- Chael Sonnen -
I was in Las Vegas when the Nogueira brothers first touched down in America. There was a bus, this is a true story. There was a bus that pulled up to a red light, and Little Nog tried to feed it a carrot, while Big Nog was petting it. He thought it was a horse. This really happened. He tried to feed a bus a carrot, and now you're telling me this country has computers? I didn't know that.
-- Chael Sonnen -
For me, and people like me, fighting isn't what we do; it's who we are.
-- Chael Sonnen -
Somebody is going to win & somebody is not, and that's fine... But we will never refuse to participate because we're scared to fail.
-- Chael Sonnen -
There's always pressure and that pressure is earned.
-- Chael Sonnen -
If Brock Lesnar was here right now, I'd take my boot off and throw it at him, and he'd better polish it up before he brings it back to me. Talking about he's the baddest guy in the UFC? Brock, quit eating so many raw eggs and doing push-ups because it's affecting your realm of reality. Are you kidding me? I'd slap you in your face, and you wouldn't do anything. 'I'm Brock Lesnar. I've got this $5 haircut and a knife tattooed on my chest.' I'll shove it up your face if you get in Chael Sonnen's way.
-- Chael Sonnen -
Fighting is an expression. It's a form of speech, and that's why they call it martial arts. It's an art.
-- Chael Sonnen -
As a professional athlete, I can tell you I feel every single emotion and not one of them ever helped me in a fist-fight before. And not one of them has ever hurt me in a fist-fight, either. The only thing that has helped me is my skills and the only thing that hurt me is my opponent's skills.
-- Chael Sonnen -
As a professional athlete I can tell you I feel every single emotion and not one of them ever helped me in a fist-fight before.
-- Chael Sonnen -
If you can talk the talk but cant walk the walk youll look like a fool. That's the risk but with great risk comes great reward.
-- Chael Sonnen -
Whether I want to be at practice or not, I show up every day. Whether I'm healthy or I'm sick or hurt or tired, I show up every day.
