Quote of the Day: Chael Sonnen Says Anderson Silva’s PMS is Losing Him Fans

(Sonnen not impressed by Anderson’s choice of blouse.)

Paul Lazenby caught up with Chael Sonnen, who is preparing for an October 8 showdown with Brian Stann at UFC 136 recently and, as usual, the UFC middleweight didn’t disappoint when the subject of the interview turned to Anderson Silva. “The American Gangster,” who was suspended earlier this year for non-approved testosterone replacement therapy says that “The Spider” is guilty of treatment for his own hormone issues.

“I don’t think that treatment for Anderson’s problems is prohibited by the UFC, even right before a match. Some medications are limited, as you know, but Anderson is in a state of medical legitimacy because I don’t think that Midol is prohibited, nor are chocolate or Gerard Butler movies. I have never personally had to deal with his sort of condition, but I feel for him and I really want to see what his top fighting form actually is, since we apparently haven’t seen it yet,” Sonnen said.

Chael went on to say that Silva’s recent numerous claims that he fought while injured, specifically in his come-from-behind win over Sonnen at UFC 117 last August, is not winning him the favor of MMA fans.

“I can’t remember the last time that he didn’t say he was hurt for a match, and it’s starting to alienate the fight fans,” Sonnen explained. “So he should take care of himself when he’s suffering, or else the public will be stuck with the same unengaging fights and lackluster victories until he either dies or finally hits menopause.”
