I’m not into trash talking either, I always thought it was dumb. But in Sonnen’s case it’s 100% fake to sell the fight. He’s actually a kind and thoughtful person.
Yeah, I always thought of him as that too, but when he came into Bellator, i was like WTF...
The guy was just behaving in an atrocious manner.
I can’t see how it helps one’s career as a fighter to behave that way and then get decimated in a fight as he did.
If you want to sell a fight, just be a good fighter.
Wins and finishes speak for themselves.
