Chael Sonnen talked to Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting about his recent comments regarding Anderson Silva and Mark Coleman. and Sonnen wants you to know that he spoke the "truth" and anything controversial was "taken out of context."
Chael Sonnen didn't comment on his recent stance towards Jiu-Jitsu....
Update: Dana White had this to say about Sonnen's recent comments:
I didn't agree with 90% of the stuff he said. He said that there's no such thing as a game plan. Really? So who are all of these guys who pretend to know what they're doing in your corner? Are you telling me that you don't want any cornermen?
Tell Randy Couture that there's no such thing as a game plan. Randy Couture has won most of his fights based on incredible game plans.
Pretty much everything he said was dumb. It was crazy and made no sense. I like Chael and he's a good guy, but I don't agree with 90% of what he said in that interview.

No bullshit? So you think he’s telling the truth when he basically says that Anderson Silva hasn’t beaten anyone in the top 10? Or when he says he’s beaten guys that have beaten Silva? The one guy Silva has lost to that Sonnen beat was Okami, and that was a DQ, not a real loss.
Although he’s certainly telling the truth when he says he doesn’t want to finish fights.
theres plenty of guys not in the top 10 that anderson has fought and beaten in the ufc. fatty lutter, cote, leitas, irvin and leban. so he thinks hes overrated, get over it.

It seems like “No Bullshit” referred to his style, Mr. Smith. Not the content of his words, but the style of them. He’s acting so nonchalant about the shit-talking while totally riling up the marks. Even my favorite Jackals are getting caught-up in it …
It’s all an act, and a pretty funny one at that. The guy never had a word to say back in WEC, now all of a sudden he’s shooting promos on guys? Someone must’ve wised him up that he’s a 200lb sleeping pill in the ring, so he needs to do something to get attention.
Pee-pee money is not an employment history.
“…if I’m wrong, if that doesn’t work, this is going to be a very unpleasant experience for me.”
I can’t fault the guy, he’s slowly starting to grow on me. Sure he says a lot of stuff that is pure bullshit, but it’s all funny. He acts like Mir does when talking about Brock… but towards everyone.
