Chael Sonnen on Fox & Friends (Update)

Chael-sonnen-fox_medium

Chael Sonnen will be on Fox and Friends Thursday morning at 7:45am ET/ 4:45pm ET.

Chael recently launched his campaign for State Representative in Oregon.

Sonnen, a Republican (who hates Jiu-Jitsu because of said political affiliation), is following in the footsteps of fellow Team Quest fighter, Matt Lindland. Lindland ran for office in Oregon but lost to Suzanne VanOrman who ran an attack ad pointing to Lindland's career as a "cage fighter."

Sonnen recently defeated Nate Marquardt at UFC 109 to earn the status of #1 contender in the middleweight division.

Will he have time to fight if he gets elected?

by Chris Shanks on Feb 10, 2010 4:56 PM EST reply actions  

He’s gone to great lengths to explain how he only works out 1-3 hours a day. So I’ve gotta imagine he’ll be able to squeeze in a little time for wacky political hi-jinks between house closings.

Besides which, I’m pretty sure the elections are gonna go down like his buddy Lindlands run for office/fight with Vitor Belfort. Badly.

Pee-pee money is not an employment history.

…so no CNN or MSNBC for him in the near future

He's a Republican

CNN and MSNBC aren’t fair and balanced enough for your average Republican.

I’m sure they’re far too liberal. They’d pull closed guard.

Thanks, but I meant the link to actually see the vid as he has some interesting interviews. I’m not a fan of facebook BTW, MYSPACE 4life.

Thanks. Also, he heals pretty fast, you could hardly notice he was in a fight last saturday or it could be the makeup. Good lookin’ Zak.

Well at least now

when they talk to Chael, the combined IQ of the people on the show will be over 100.

I love the exposure on Fox News yessssss

The more and more exposer this sports gets, the more it becomes acceptable in society IMO.

I mentioned that earlier I thought

I didn't see that anywhere.

Sadly I think most of the blog posters have probably neglected going back and watching old fight events.

I mentioned him in a comment somewhere saying that (paraphrasing),

“I couldn’t remember the guy’s name (I don’t really watch Fox News) but I know he introduced Dana when White won an award and he worked for the UFC back in the day”

If I recall correctly he only did UFC 1.

And it is probably a job he looks down on now, paying his dues while trying to make it big.

Like singing at a honkeydonk bar while you’re trying to break into the rock business.
