"When I get a fight, when they call me and say 'Hey you wanna fight so and so?' The answer is yes, but, behind the scenes, I call my mom, I call my sister. I tell them what's going on. I call my brother-in-law in Clifton. I sit down with my coaches. Even if it's over the phone, we just have a quick 'Hey we wanna do this, right? We can come p with something and have success out there.' It was different with Brian. I drew his name out, I said 'Oh, gosh no!' I couldn't sleep. I went to Brian Stann. I never contact an opponent. Nobody contacts an opponent. That breaks every unwritten rule there is. I contacted Brian. I said 'Hey listen I can't sleep. I'm so bothered by this news and it caught me out of left field I don't know what to do here.' And Brian Stann wrote me back and he said 'Chael, yeah it did come out of nowhere, but, with all the things going on in the world today, us fighting for up to 15 minute just doesn't matter. It's just not a big deal.' Brian. That's a very private email, but I'm sharing it because of the message there. He's a leader, he's a leader of men. He's led men into battle. He's now leading his own opponent into battle. It's the right thing to do. It's what the company asks us to do. It's what the division needs. We're two of the top guys. I am the world champion. He is my number one contender. I'm going to defend my championship for the 1st time against Brian Stann. And I'm doing it because he told me it's the right thing to do. I think that's very interesting. I've never been in that spot before."

Well, you already broke most of the written ones so what's left?

Chael sonnen is a true champion.

Chael is easy to understand when you're on some kind of hallucinogen, or just plain insane.

Captain Chael felt the need to contact The All American, Brian Stann, because he is upset they have been pitted against each other by the forces of evil, even though they are both battling for all righteousness and good of mankind. He didn't want to have to battle someone who is on the same team, however, The All American told him the lives of the innocent are more important than them and that it must be done. Captain Chael was touched by that and will now fight with a glint in his eye as if he is serving some unseen, higher purpose.

Anyone ever think Chael may be a bit schizophrenic?

Chael obviously doesn't want to fight Stann. Who would? Beating Brian Stann doesn't come with all the perks that it sounds like. His fanbase will hate you.
