Worth a read, if only for nice paragraphs like this:

Sonnen has been trying hard to defend UFC pay, and his recent efforts included making dubious claims and inflating the non-disclosed bonuses that he got from the promotion. He claimed to have earned $8,800,000 in the rematch against Anderson Silva, when in reality, lawsuit documents showed that Silva got just $2.5 million while Sonnen got $1.05 million — over eight times less than his claim.

Chael is an epic bootlicker. I think he wants a job with the UFC down the road.

I think he wants to take over for Dana if Dana ever leaves.

Yeah, I think you're right.
