Eh, I respect Sonnen's preference for being on top in grappling. But a lack of willingness to cross-train will hinder him, in my opinion.

Chael just dominated one of the divisions toughest fighters. He is definitely a title contender.

He also said this when asked who he thought would win the Fedor vs. Rogers fight; Chael Sonnen: "Two fatties swinging like bums. Yawn, stretch, back to sleep."
Is this and the bjj is gay comment Chael's attempts at humor or is the guy serious? He cannot be serious. I hope not.

Chael is either joking or looking to be the bad guy. Chael has been around was to long, to not be some what aware of the media game.

No. he is not. He beat a very ring rusty Okami. He has looked okay in last two fights but he won't be able to get past Marquart,Maia, Hendo, Frankiln, Vitor and the lis goes on. He'll never be a real contender with his closed mind to incorporating/adapting BJJ techniques that he's been beat with time and time again.

Chael is educated, humble, and professional, and thus, somewhat boring to the common fan. He is clearly trying to sell himself as a heel, because nobody was taking interest in him as a top 10 middle weight fighter otherwise. It's silly and I'm not that interested, but I understand what he's doing.
