"When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this ‘Hey, poor me, let's find a cure for cancer' campaign instead of just coming clean and saying, ‘Look, here's what I did, I screwed myself up, and I hope people learn from my mistakes.' You just watch these guys and can't help but think, God, what a fraud. You got the whole Michael Phelps being a pothead thing too. I'm just glad I'm in the business I'm in so I can get them in the cage and kick the crap out of them."

-Chael Sonnen takes his pre-fight vitriol out of the sport of MMA, attacking cyclist Lance Armstrong on ProMMA Radio (transcribed by MMAMania.com).

Penick's Analysis: How to react to this one... Well, I'm sure Sonnen's not the only one that feels this way, but it's simply funny to hear the things that come out of his mouth. It's hard to believe he actually believes half of the things he says, as some of these comments he's made are beyond ridiculous, but after hearing him on the pre-fight teleconference last week it sure seems like he does. He's at least making people care about an Anderson Silva fight, even if most are now just hoping his comments get enough of a rise out of "The Spider" to make him destroy Chael. We'll see what happens on Saturday.
