Tyler,

Thank you so much for your insightful question.  It is nice to see young men with a conservative mindset who are into mixed martial arts the way that you are.  I mean, I’m just a wrestler, so I’m not a real MMA fighter like those guys in Japan who go for long shot submissions against over-matched opponents.  That’s where the real glory lies; all I do is take one of the most consistently successful disciplines for fighting and ride it as far as it will take me — which usually is to victory.

It is definitely a shame that Vitor Belfort had to pull out of his scheduled title fight with Anderson Silva due to injury.  As the proclaimed number-one contender to the UFC middleweight title, I obviously had a vested interest in the outcome of that fight.  Could you imagine what would have happened if Belfort had won?  I certainly hope that Bruce Buffer would have been practicing saying “You Eff Shee Middleweight Champion of the World, Chael Sonnen” on a daily basis, because Randy Couture has shown us on more than one occasion what an old wrestler who has no chance of beating Belfort can do.

Thanks,

Chael Sonnen

The actual form letter e-mail I received from Mr. Sonnen after the jump.

Tyler,

I want to thank you for your kind words and for your support. I love my
home state of Oregon, and if I did not feel like my back was against the
wall I would not be doing this. Oregon and our Federal Gov. need change,
and not the kind promised to voters in 2008.

Please be sure to stay in touch. You can follow my campaign on both my
website and facebook.

All the best,

Chael

Now that I’ve basically outed myself as the second coming of Matt Hughes (minus the talent), it would have been much more awesome to receive the fabricated e-mail.  Bless you, Chael Sonnen.
