    Sonnen Throws Out Challenge To Machida

    Sonnen Throws Out Challenge To Machida
    "I don't know what the future holds, there are plenty of guys out there to fight. There's a karate guy at 205 pounds, I might stop there on my way back to 185 for a tuneup fight and take out Machida."

    In a ringside interview with mmafighting.com, one-time middleweight title challenger, Chael Sonnen calls out the former light-heavyweight champion for a “tune-up” fight.

    After trash talking almost any fighter with Brazilian heritage, the stand-out wrestler takes his challenges to a new medium when talking to the press at last weekend’s UFC 132 event in Las Vegas.

    Is he biting off more than he can chew here or can Chael really contend with the likes of Lyoto Machida at 205 pounds?

    I heard that this fall they will likely fight. I think it's a bad fight for Sonnen. Machida will be hard for him to get a hold of....and Machida is better on the feet

      Here it is:

      A fight between Chael Sonnen and Lyoto Machida is all but a done deal.

      Sources close to the situation tell Fighters Only that Sonnen will be making his UFC return at light-heavyweight and is almost certain to face the Brazilian former champion.

      The fight is apparently being considered for UFC 136, which takes place on October 8th in Houston, Texas. No fights have been announced for that card but Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian are expected to headline.

      Machida is a fighter that Sonnen has long had his eye on, and not just because he is a training partner and friend of Sonnen’s favourite smack-talk target Anderson Silva.

      Sonnen made comments at the weekend about possibly fighting Machida when he returns to action, and has been taking potshots at him via Twitter (although that is nothing new).

      The latest - “Of course your sport should be taken seriously. Everybody would like to be able to workout in their bathrobe” - is a dig at Machida’s background in Shotokan Karate.

      He also slammed the recent spate of videos depicting Black House fighters training with Steven Segal. “I don't seek training advice from actors for the same reason I don't seek health advice from strippers.”

      Today Machida told Brazilian website Tatame that he will sign for the fight immediately if Sonnen really wants it, but sources say that verbal agreements are already in place at this point.

        Sonnen will get ahold of a greased pig and take the pig down he'll do the same with machida. He's always got everyone down

          I don't think he has fought anyone with the footwork of Machida though. Machida has excellent TDD

            agree but sonnen has a deep brutal double. if he gets him down and eventually he will. he can grind on top.

            i will go for machida for sure.

            sonnen has made himself the villian

              That's true. But Machida has a fairly aggressive guard....that has been an issue for Sonnen. I actually think Machida finishes Sonnen, but we will see.

              He has made himself the villain but there is something about him that makes me like him. I don't know if it's his way with words when in the war of words with fighters, his brashness, or what.....
