Chael Sonnen Talks Brian Stann, Anderson Silva, Rampage Jackson, Etc.

Chael Sonnen has become public enemy No. 1 amongst his peers and an entire country, but he isn't losing any sleep over it.

The former UFC middleweight title contender recently sat down with Joe Ferraro on "UFC Connected" to talk about his upcoming UFC 136 bout with Brian Stann and beating up Anderson Silva.

While Sonnen seems to have a lot of respect for Stann, he calls out Silva for "cheating" in his first fight with Yushin Okami, a bout where Silva was disqualified for throwing an illegal up-kick.

There is no love lost between Sonnen and Silva in this highly publicized rivalry. Sonnen's dislike of Silva has gradually grown into a black hole of dissension that now includes the entire country of Brazil and its fighters.

He plans on being in Okami's corner when the Japanese contender travels to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to face Silva on August 27.

It's going to be an incredibly hostile atmosphere when Sonnen walks from the curtains of HSBC Arena. Brazilian fans are some of the most passionate sports fans in the world, and they can't be happy about some of Sonnen's comments.

Still, UFC 134 will be just another day at the office for MMA's biggest supervillain.

"They love me in Brazil," Sonnen says when asked about facing a raucous Brazilian crowd

Sonnen's political career never really panned out, but when he returns to Brazil, he will likely get the presidential treatment as far as security is concerned
