Fighting.dk erfarede i går, at Dominance FC vil have Chael Sonnen i kommentatorboksen, når DFC 02 finder sted i KB Hallen den 11. januar. Et massivt scoop for Mark O. Madsen og co. hvis det lykkes.
Skulle du ikke være bekendt med den selvbestaltede ‘American Gangster’, så er han en af de bedste ‘snakkere’ i UFC’s historie. Chael Sonnen har leveret bunkevis af citater, som de færreste kæmpere var kommet på. Det er de retoriske evner, han forhåbentlig dukker op med, hvis altså det lykkedes Dominance FC at få en aftale på plads.
Hvis du ikke er bekendt med Chael Sonnens talegaver, som kommer her fem fede citater fra den selvbestaltede ‘Bad Guy’:
1. Om kæmpere, der taler om Gud i deres vinderinterview:
“You know, these guys want to talk about God. ‘Oh, I want to thank God. I want to thank God.’ Listen, I’m a God-fearing man, go to church every Sunday and have since I was a boy. But if I ever found out that God cared one way or another about a borderline illegal fist-fight on Saturday night, I would be so greatly disappointed that it would make rethink my entire belief system.”
2. Om sin mangeårige rival Anderson Silva:
“I’m sore, tired, under the weather, overtrained, under-motivated and still tough enough to beat this guy.”
3. Om sin fejlede dopingtests efternederlaget til Anderson Silva:
“My phone rings, they call me up and say, ‘Chael, your testosterone level is too high.’ I say, ‘Well, how high was it?’ They say, ‘0.7.’ I said, ‘What’s normal?’ They say, ‘0.6.’; I said, ‘One-tenth? You’re telling me I’m one-tenth higher than the average man? Re-test that – you must have caught me on a low day.’”
4. Fra dengang hvor han lobbyede for en kamp mod Jon Jones:
“I’m better than Jon Jones. I’m better than Sean Combs. I am even better than John Holmes.”
5. Fra før kampen mod Michael Bisping i 2012 :
“I don’t walk around looking into cameras and telling people I’m the best fighter in the world just to hear myself talk. I say it for the same reason they put warnings on packages of cigarettes, and fighting Chael Sonnen may be hazardous to one’s health.”
Hvis det lykkes Mark O. Madsen at lave en aftale med Sonnen, får vi se om han kan levere et par citater om de danske kæmpere, som vil blive husket i mange år.
