Ed Soares Says Chael Sonnen Should Fight Demian Maia First
Posted on Feb 10, 2010
Prior to UFC 109, UFC President Dana White told fans and media that the middleweight matchup between Chael Sonnen and Nate Marquardt would decide who would be the number one contender to the middleweight title. Sonnen dominated the bout on route to a three round unanimous decision victory. Now, following Sonnens verbal tirade at Anderson Silva prior to UFC 109 and the win over Marquardt, Silvas manager and mouth piece Ed Soares comes to the forefront to play UFC match maker again and says Sonnen doesn't deserve a shot: "We've spoken with Chael on many occasions and have the utmost respect for him. He's never really come across in this manner, and it's obvious he's just drumming up hype in hopes to get a bout with Anderson. We are fine if this is what the UFC wants, but if you look at this logistically, Sonnen should fight Demian Maia first. Demian beat up easily, by submission, so why not make them fight first, to determine who gets a shot at the title? It's funny, but really, who actually listens to what Chael Sonnen has to say? The only time people listen is when he talks about Anderson. Who is he, really? If you walk down the street and you mention his name, does anyone really know who this guy is? Likely not, but if you mention Anderson Silva, people know the name. Chael's also said a few things about Anderson's choice of clothes and that he wears earrings, didn't he? Sounds to us like he may have a crush on Anderson." |

I guess do see your point where one wont believe in luck vs mistake but thats a debate that will probably never end, kinda like the console wars. As far as fights in other organizations, credit is always given where its due but just imagine it would be another lesnar incident, now grant I am a fan of Lesnar, I like the guy, I think he has extremely good potential but I dont think he deserved the title shot so fast, but he managed to beat the people in front of him.
but you know they can always have silva get another fight in LHW to keep him busy you know.
but all in all i get your point though, Was it my luck for swinging a right haymaker at a desperate time, or was it his mistake for blocking it with his face?
Man I miss the chat function lol i think it would of been a faster conversation lol

Sonnen might be 4and 3 in the UFC but how long ago were 3 of thoughs fights? 4 years ago? I guess if Fedor came to the UFC none of his previous fights in MMA would count either? Or any other fighters fights in other organizations?
But like I said before and like I said when I messaged Ringo back. I too think Cheal would lose a rematch to Nate and Demian, but. Chael won this last fight. period. So Nates gotta wait... Also I'll say this, like I said to Ringo. Instead of letting Anderson sit back for even longer, why not throw him back in another stepup weight class fight, and let the middle weight division play out a bit longer for a better number 1 contender. Like giving Demian a couple more fights if he does beat Chael in a rematch.

I also think Chale and damien should fight, if chael wins, he gets a shot, if he damien wins, he gets to fight one more time.
P.S had the 5 rounds been implemented in contention fights marq would of ended on top.
those are my 2 cents...

As far as Ed Sore-ass goes. Who is he? Who is he to be match making? Chael Sonnen is a well known fighter,(didn't anyone watch WEC?) not as well known as Anderson for sure, but hell. How many fighters in the history of ANY fighting sport have MADE their name by beating someone who already has a big name theirselves? Alot... Upsets happen, it's a fact. Do I think Sonnen will beat Anderson? No I do not. But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserver the fight. Is Ed saying Demian should get the title shot if he beats Sonnen? If so that's just stupid, Demian's only won one of his last 2 fights. He surely doesn't deserve any special treatment like that. Shouldn't he prove himself in atleast a COUPLE more fights?.. I don't care if Sonnen had lost to him 5 times in the past. Sonnen HAS the better record right now. I might of agreed to him saying Demian and Chael should fight first IF Demian had at least one more win in his 'one fight' win streak...heh... Too bad that isn't the case though.
That's my 3 cents...
