“I’m done with the guy. He and I have no business. He’s cold product. He’s like jheri curls and Pepsi Clear. He’s yesterday’s news. I destroyed this guy back when he was tough. That was years ago. He’s so far over the hill and so far past his prime that it’s not worth talking about.

I’m going to become the No. 1 contender on January 28th and despite what you may think, I’m not going to use that voucher to fight Anderson Silva. I’ll be looking at (Jon) Jones, (Junior) dos Santos and possibly (Georges) St. Pierre. I will take that voucher to Dana White and pick one of those three guys. My time with Anderson is done.”

In a recent interview on TSN’s Off The Record with Michael Landsberg, Chael Sonnen proclaims that he is no longer interested in fighting Anderson Silva for the UFCs middleweight title.

This is just more trash talk from Sonnen. Dude has no chance making Heavyweight or Welterweight and Rashad Evans/Dan Henderson are ahead of him if he moves back up to LHW.

I think he's using his mouth and his almost win against Silva to get more money and a title shot. Although if you think about it, GSP is not an option because he will be out as much as Silva, if not more, plus he's got the winner of Diaz/Condit pending, Dos Santos is injured and Jones has the winner of Davis/Evans. So he should just shut up and go with the original plan which is to fight Munoz and if he wins then Silva in Brazil in June.

And about any ducking, I think he comes out looking better even if he loses against any of the other champions than if he loses twice to Silva. Plus the event would be in Brazil so his safety might be an issue.

He's probably ducking Brazil more than Silva

Dude really needs to shut the hell up. I'm not a big Silva fan, but he has Sonnen has no leg to stand on. Yeah dude, you won 4 rounds, and then got caught in a triangle. You didn't destroy him at all, you fucking lost, deal with it.

Sonnen's got the style that matches up well with Silva.. He will keep the distance close and put Silva on his back at will.. Don't get me wrong, Silva is a devasting strikers who could easily catch him with one of his eight points coming in.. Or he could dust off his bjj black belt like.he did in the first fight..

Just saying that Sonnen's style is the most threatening to Silva ATM..

So people don't realize that he's actually Rowdy Roddy Piper and get upset with what he says. I was there once, but seriously it's all schtick. He'll take his title shot when he gets it. He's just playing heel. And yeah, I'd favour him over Silva.
