Watching Chael Sonnen at press conferences was like watching Picasso paint. His resurgence from being an ignored middleweight to one of the biggest-selling stars in the UFC is a lesson to all young fighters on how to build themselves up. Every time a mic was put in front of him, he used it to his advantage and raised his stock. His promos during the first fight against Anderson Silva are still considered one of the best one-person build-ups in sports entertainment history.
While he never won a world title, Sonnen still managed to be the biggest-selling star alongside Anderson Silva, GSP, and Jon Jones. It would be fair to say Sonnen understood the fight business better than anybody. Dana White had similar things to say about Sonnen to MMA on SiriusXM -
“I like Chael a lot, I have a very good relationship with Chael, I like the fact that [the UFC] is the hardest place in the world to stay and make a living. It’s a very hard place. … You have to be one of the best in the world to stick around here. And when guys can’t stick around here anymore, and they go somewhere else and get paid and make money; I love it. Good for them."
“I don’t think Chael was necessarily a bad guy, I think Chael was very good — before Conor McGregor — Chael was the best guy out there to push buttons and not only piss off other fighters, but piss off fans and stuff like that. He was very calculated and very smart in the way he conducted himself in this business.”
