Posted by admin On January - 26 - 2012

Chael Sonnen is arguably the most popular fighter in the entire sport of mixed martial arts today.
The reason being, he’s not afraid to say exactly what he’s feeling. Ever.
Whether or not it’s for the publicity or simply because he wants to, Sonnen has caught the eyes of many UFC fans across the globe.
Not only has Sonnen took his comments, remarks and jokes to national television, but his Twitter as well.
The following slides display the 25 most hilarious tweets of Chael Sonnen’s UFC career.
To view all of Sonnen’s tweets, visit his Twitter.
Let’s take a look.

After allegedly testing positive for steroids following his bout with Anderson Silva at UFC 117, Sonnen stated:
“I’d love to talk with you guys about what happened yesterday, but I’m on a bike ride with Floyd Landis so it will have to wait until tomorrow”

In regards to Anderson Silva’s inability to speak English fluently, Sonnen addressed the issue by stating:
“Anderson just fired Ed Soares and replaced him with a Translation App he got on his phone for $14.95.”

Prior to their bout at UFC 117 Sonnen gave Anderson Silva a little forewarning:
“A.S. Your run is T- 70 days. I’m not a math teacher from Ohio, I’m a gangster from Oregon. Talk is cheap, it takes money to buy whiskey.”

Why does Sonnen enjoy watching hockey and rugby? Well, keep reading…
“I watch hockey and rugby. Anything that has a remote chance of breaking out into a fight. Which is exactly why I stopped watching George.”

Sonnen allowed fans to enter a contest to be his cornerman. That is, unless your name is Wanderlei Silva…
“Submit your e-mail at greenlightdaily.com to be entered in contest to be my cornerman. Not you Wand, if requires an ability to type.”

Chael goes a little too far when he addresses Anderson Silva and compares him to a pornstar…
“Anderson, you are going to be on your back more than a pornstar with a mortgage.”

Sonnen took another personal shot at Anderson Silva when he stated:
“Yushin and I are in Brazil to follow in Andy’s ways. Got ballet shoes, a team of has-beens, even brought a fat talentless celeb for trainer.”

Not only does Sonnen despise of Anderson Silva but Michael Bisping as well. In regards to his accent he stated:
“Viewers: Prepare for the first season of TUF where both coaches speak English, and the show still needs subtitles…”

Sonnen once again fired away at a fellow UFC fighter when he addressed Wanderlei Silva’s nickname:
“Axe Murderer, my ASS. I’m more intimidated by Axe Body Spray.”

Chael let the Twitter world know exactly what he thought of Wanderlei Silva’s skills when he stated:
“Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy ringside seats to Wandy’s next humiliating loss, and that’s pretty much the same thing.”

Well, it’s a new day, which means Sonnen will call out a new fighter. This time it’s Antonio Nogueira.
“Watch yourself Antonio.You think I give a dam that you are a HWT? I’ve pushed people your size out of the way looking for somebody to fight.”

Longevity 1/11

Posted by admin On January - 25 - 2012

One of the biggest factors that determines how well you age is not your genes but how well you live. Not convinced? A study published in 2009 in the British Medical Journal of 20,000 British folks shows that you can cut your risk of having a stroke in half by doing the following things: being active for 30 minutes a day, eating five daily servings of fruit and vegetables, and avoiding cigarettes and excess alcohol.

While those are some of the obvious steps you can take to age well, researchers have discovered that centenarians tend to share certain traits in how they eat, move about, and deal with stress—the sorts of things we can emulate to improve our own aging process. Of course, getting to age 100 is enormously more likely if your parents did. Still, Thomas Perls, who studies the century-plus set at Boston University School of Medicine, believes that assuming you’ve sidestepped genes for truly fatal diseases like Huntington’s, “there’s nothing stopping you from living independently well into your 90s.” Heck, if your parents and grandparents were heavy smokers, they might have died prematurely without ever reaching their true potential lifespan, so go ahead and shoot for those triple digits. Follow these 12 habits and check out Perls’ lifetime risk calculator to see how long you can expect to live.
