Directed at Wandy

You're lucky your brother Joe's the matchmaker or you'd be sellin' barbecued monkey on the street in Manaus.

If it wasn't for me, you would be thrashing around the jungle w/a blowgun trying' to catch breakfast.

You look like Lisa Rinna w/a Leprechaun beard, you fool.

Ya looked like Tammy Faye Baker. I went easy so that new face of yours wouldn't fall off.

All broken pieces of Wand will be half off on Greenlightdaily.com. Where ya at little guy, worried that I'll understand you this time?

Listen punk. If you see me out onna "stroll" keep your eyes to the curb, or I'll take my boot off and beat you with it like Ike did Tina.

[Mr. IWS]

Maybe I'll wait outside your Physical Therapist's office and throw you in the dumpster for laughs..

Kinda dumb, but it had me laughing.

Just yesterday, Sonnen pled guilty to money laundering in connection with mortgage fraud -- and now UFC president Dana White tells us Sonnen's contract has been temporarily "frozen."

But White isn't turning his back on one of his most famous fighters -- Dana tells us, "Chael Sonnen has gone through a lot in the last few months and we think it's important for him to focus on getting his personal life together before focusing on his career in the UFC."

White adds, "I spoke with Chael earlier today and he agrees that setting priorities in his life is the best thing for him right now. I sincerely hope Chael is able to straighten out his personal life."

Sonnen has reportedly struck a plea deal in his money laundering case -- and is expected to receive two years probation and a $10,000 fine.

Not sure how reliable TMZ is with MMA news, but whatev.......

I saw this yesterday ,hell I thought I posted it .......god I'm losing it lately

[Mr. IWS]

I love this guy

Fighters Only spoke to Chael Sonnen today to confirm that his suspension is now expired. The recent middleweight title contender confirmed that it is, and that he is now able to compete in mixed martial arts under any athletic commission.

The conversation also touched on this past weekend’s fight between Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera, and of course the post-fight aftermath which left Bisping facing disciplinary measures at the hands of the UFC.

“I did see Michael Bisping's fight, and I was very disappointed in his behaviour. Spitting on Jorge Riviera's cornermen brought disgrace to himself, to the sport, and to all fighters, me included. That's why, first and foremost, Michael Bisping owes ME an apology,” Sonnen said.

“As someone with much more experience than him, at a much higher level of competition, I am his superior and his behavior warrants an apology to me. Now you might say that's a bit of abstract reasoning... but there's another reason he better apologize to me first, and it has to do with his own self-interest.

“I happen to know, from one of my very highly-placed sources at the UFC, that Michael Bisping's ‘goodwill account’ is seriously overdrawn with the company. He's on very thin ice wearing really sharp skates, if you know what I mean. So, there are only TWO possible outcomes for him: He can fight ME, or he can get released.

“He needs to fight me to keep his job. But...and this is a big but...I don't HAVE to fight Michael Bisping to keep MY job. If I decide not to fight him, they'll set me up with some other contender I can ridicule, then pound into fine powder. But Bisping's got me, or he's GONE. I hold the "whip hand" in this deal; so if he wants to feed his family without going on the ‘dole’ (UK slang for welfare -ed.), he better apologize.

“Once he agrees to do that, I'll decide what form his apology should take. I may want a singing apology. I may want him to choreograph and perform a little "apology dance". I may make him kiss my ring like I'm the Pope, or kneel before me like I'm the King and he's being knighted. I'm not sure what I'll decide on...but he does owe me an apology.”

I actually think Bisping would have a good chance at beating Sonnen, so I would like to see that fight. I despise them both, but I despise Sonnen more. Since he is obviously scared that the UFC is going to match him with Belfort or Maia, he is trying to hype his way into a fight he thinks he can win. But I think Bisping would give him trouble personally.

[Svino]

Really? I think Sonnen might have an easier time with Belfort than with Bisping. He beats both, though.

On the other hand, I'd love to see Belfort smash Bisping's face in.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Belfort would kill Sonnen in Linland like fashion. But I still don't think Sonnen is massively overrated.

[SPX]

On the other hand, I'd love to see Belfort smash Bisping's face in.

Me too.

We'll see what happens. There's like 12 people calling out Bisping and 32 calling out Tito.

[edman5555]

Sonnen easily beats Bisping. Sonnen has a good chin and Bisping isn't exactly a big power hitter. Sonnen/Belfort is a lot harder to judge.

[edman5555]

Sonnen would take him down easy because of the power/chin thing I mentioned.

[Mr. IWS]

[SPX]

LOL

I seriously want to know what he weighs right now, because he does look straight huge in that picture.

[poopoo333]

[edman5555]

Bisping has good takedown D but I don't think it's enough to stop Sonnen.
