What a year it's been for Chael Sonnen. Forty-eight hours after his suspension in California expired, MMA Fighting sat down with the controversial middleweight in the latest installment of our "Backstage" series.

Sonnen talked candidly about his return to MMA, testosterone replacement therapy, the Nate Marquardt situation, what's next, PRIDE FC, Brazilian fighters and so much more.

Noel, Chael is solid, but I think he is further from being champion then you might think. It remains to be seen whether or not Chael can compete with Anderson on a level playing field.

Great stuff....... like him or not, hes entertaining. And he did do to A. Silva what no one else has been able to even think about doing. Now as far as performance enhancing drugs, from the interview you get the idea THAT HE CAME FORTH and told the fight commision (or whoever) what was up, then they turned on him and/or penalized him. As far as the Brazillian comments, hes just talking smack, and it was funny lol. I hope he gets to fight in the UFC soon!!!!

Didn't Silva use to fight at 205 in pride?

Starting at 6:45, the best and most entertaining interview I've ever seen. Chael shows no respect because he's in a sport where the promoters would pay the fighters $3g if they could get away with it. If I was tough enough to be in that crooked sport, I would lie, cheat, and goof-off too. Carry on Chael

Chael Sonnen is a complete nut job.

@Frank The Tank Leben and Wanderlei don't fight in 205, and Couture is retired... keep your facts straight! And @anon, learn how to spell the names of the people you fanboy over.

Chael!! Your the man!!!!!

agree with alot of what you say about fights in Japan. I am sure some guys are paid to take a dive. But Chael you are nuts when you lump Fedor in there!!! He has lost recently because he is old and his time has passed. But he was a stud. I have watched many of his fights. A few years back he was THE BEST and I would take him over anyone. He can strike, he can wrestle, he can submit. If you think his thirty-some wins are phoney then you are nuts!! Come to think of it, after watching this interview, you are nuts no matter what you think!

So glad you guys posted this, absolutely hilarious. . . Gotta Love Chael. . . "I swear I didn't know they had computers in that country."

freakin idiot 2 years ago

he needs to put that drink down and realize what he is saying.

Frank The Tank 2 years ago

lol it's funny how most of the guys on here are hating...straight up Chael says it like it is! Did he pound the living crap out of silva for 4 1/2 rounds? Damn sure he did..whens the last time you've ever seen silva get the crap beat outta him like that? Idk about you guys but chael looked like clearly the better fighter in that fight you silva fanboys..and umm 205 is literally thee weakest weightclass in the UFC...not to take anything away from the fighters themselves, they're great athletes but when you have everyone beating each other for the title, a karate guy winning the title, Rashad evans whos suppose to be the champ looking like he doesn't know what he's doing in a title defense, CHRIS LEBEN KNOCKING OUT SILVA, randy couture's old a** still being a legitamate contender..etc..then yeah comoe and tell me 205 is not the weakest weightclass in the nation

Please, Chael got his ass handed to him on 3 separate occassions against Jeremy Horn. Got choked out by Maia, sub'ed out by Silva, Filho, Sobral, Griffin, Prangley. The guy is OK. W/O roids he will slowly fade away into obsurity. He is obviously milking his 15 minutes of fame for all it is worth. Machida would knock Sonnen's ass out. So would Wanderlai, Nogeura and any number of guys.

DLV-NorCalD1 2 years ago

Yea, @adam. He is tough though, 3-2 with one of those loses to Silva for the title after winning 4 rounds isn't bad.

Anonymous Coward 2 years ago

Relax with the toughest guy in the UFC talk there Adam. They guy is a whooping 3-2 in the UFC. There are many who are probably tougher

Coach Y 2 years ago

Hilarious! Funnier than Wes Wesley!!

Adam C 2 years ago

I must admit Chael does complain and whine a lot and his voice is annoying but he is one of the toughest in the ufc, an outstanding record with national titles, and he's the funniest ufc fighter currently in the ufc. "take a snap shot of you and the Nolguera brothers in bed, working on you're "jiu-jitsu"" freaking hilarious.
