Anyone been keeping track of Chael Sonnen's latest feud? Its with Arianny Celeste.

 

Basically it all started last year before the Silva/Sonnen fight, when Arianny said she'd love to see Silva beat the hell out of Sonnen - which as someone who should be impartial in the public due to her job, was fucking stupid of her to do (she talks like she has a mental problem in any case).

 

 

But in an interview regarding the MMA Awards, Sonnen (who is hosting) was asked about which Ring Girl will win:

 

We only had one and that was Chandella [Powell]. The other was the IQ card girl. Arianny [Celeste] kind of walks around and holds up her latest test score. One time when there was a title fight, she got all the way up to five and we were very proud of her.

 

 

Arianny responded with an almost nobel laureate winning poetic reply:

 

Hey what's ur name.. after @spideranderson kicks your ass..u won't even be able to count to 5!! Get ready to kiss brazils ass!

 

 

Sonnen then replied with:

 

Seems easy to wear a bikini and seems easy to walk in a circle, but try walking in a circle while wearing a bikini. Talented girl.

Leben has fought in Birmingham twice now, both times he's failed a drug test.

 

 

Theres something in the water down there I tells ya, I bet Wandshogun is on all kinds of performance enhancing meds as we speak! ;)

 

Just to clarify I don't need viagra if that's the PED you're on about. I do however have balls the size of baked beans, a spotty back and suffer bouts of rage. It's only a matter of time before I'm texting the whereabouts of my dogs.

 

Nah seriously, I'm Leben's supplier actually. He always gives me a ring when he's down this way.

nice to see Ryan Jimmo has been picked up the UFC, i imagine Mark Pavelich is pissed but Jimmo's a dude that's definitly earned his shot.

 

Yeah I was pleased with that signing aswell. Jimmo's had a great streak of wins and beat some names. I'm looking forward to seeing him mix it up in the big leagues.

Agreed, I think Vemola will be a tough first test for him - should be an entertaining fight though.
