Chuck Liddell Says He Can't Stand When Chael Sonnen Talks Trash

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell can't stand people who trash talk in the great sport of MMA. So with Chael Sonnen being the example of how its done, "The Iceman" had a few words to say about Sonnen and his trash talking ways.

“Chael’s a nice guy. I’ve met him and hung out with him. I like him, and he’s a nice guy. I can’t stand the way he promotes fights," Liddell recently told MMA Junkie.

“I understand what he’s doing; he wasn’t the most exciting fighter, so he made himself exciting by promoting the fight really well, and he got himself a couple of title shots for it. It works, but that whole crazy WWE-type stuff, that over-the-top stuff when you’re fighting a guy, doesn’t make sense to me, and I don’t like it.

“But it is what it is. Some of the fans like it, and it gets people to watch fights, that’s fine...Some of the things he said, as far as I’m concerned, are over the line.

"Unless you’re known as an actor or being a WWE guy, you can get away with some of that stuff because everybody knows it’s fake.”

Sonnen is set to face Wanderlei Silva on July 5, 2014 at UFC 175.
