“Whether I want to be at practice or not, I show up every day. Whether I'm healthy or I'm sick or hurt or tired, I show up every day.” WantShowsHurtPracticeHealthySickTiredMma Author:Chael Sonnen
“My hands are heavy and most importantly they are very fast. I have been called the fastest white man alive. I don't work submissions and not because I am trying to prove something I'm just frankly not very good at 'em. I am very good at getting away. I've never fought anybody whether it was in practice or competition who could hold me down. Even if I thought I could get a submission I'm not laying underneath a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide T.V. Some guys subscribe to that theory but I am a Republican and we don't do that” IfsMenTryingHas BeensHandsGuyWhitePracticeAliveTheoryRepublicanProveCompetitionVery GoodHeavyLegsSpreadEmsGet AwayWhite ManSubmissionHold MeGrown Man Author:Chael Sonnen
“I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.” WorldGuyFightingNextBreakPracticeTrainingRingsBoxingCampsSweatAbsolutely NothingTraining Camp Author:Chael Sonnen
“I go to practice each and every day, but my intensity is not the same. If I get tired, I'll go sit down. If I want some water, I'll go drink it. When I'm in training camp, I don't. I've got to push through being tired. I've got to push through being uncomfortable. That's really it. It's largely a mentality. You kind of flip that switch and turn your intensity up. Your heart rate goes up. Your reps go up. And you start to get in the frame of mind.” IfsWantMindHeartKindTurnsWaterPracticeDrinkTrainingTiredRateUncomfortableCampsIntensityMentalityFlipFrame Of MindHeart RateTraining Camp Author:Chael Sonnen
