#4 Chael Sonnen and his penchant for cutting promos

The rivalry between Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva has been well documented, and so is Sonnen’s penchant for trash talk. The former middleweight title contender is arguably the greatest trash talker in the history of MMA, and after winning his bout against Brian Stann at UFC 136, Sonnen cut one of the most rewatched and replayed promos of all time.

Sonnen fought Silva once before and almost won the fight, only for Silva to submit him in the dying minutes of the last round. The “Bad Guy” didn’t waste any time in calling his arch nemesis out. In a true pro wrestling esque fashion, Sonnen challenged Silva to a “Loser leaves town” fight for the UFC Middleweight title.

The outcome? Sonnen was beaten decisively by arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time.
