Rampage Jackson has been labeled as a ‘cry baby’ by Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC compatriot Chael Sonnen after Jackson, a former Light Heavyweight Champion in the promotion’s accusation that the promotion had been giving him fights that were too difficult for him. Jackson, over the last few weeks, has blasted the UFC and its President Dana White and asked the UFC board to consider releasing him from his contractual obligations to the promotion as, according to him, the UFC is hell bent on destroying his huge fan base all the world over.

In the eyes of the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, he has been made to fight wrestlers over the last few months that were just made to make him look bad in front of his fans and he also stated Joe Silva, the matchmaker of the UFC should be shot right in his face. Jackson has only one match left on his contract and he will face Mauricio Shogun Rua before leaving the company and Chael Sonnen admits that he couldn’t help but laugh at the stupid accusations made by a former champion.

Speaking to MMA Uncensored, Sonnen admitted of his admiration for Jackson but went on to add that nothing is left oh him now and he is just a ‘cry baby’. But Sonnen also stated that he cannot agree with what Jackson has to say and being paid what he is paid to do what he loves, he should have more respect for the fans.  Fedor Emelianenko also waded in on twitter in agreement.

Sonnen, however, defended Jackson and his Testosterone Replacement Therapy, stating that he could also use that in the future which could add up to 10 years to his career. Chael Sonnen also admitted that unlike doping, it is not cheating and he knows many fighters who would rather go for TRT than dope.

Michael Bisping might have lost is bout with fellow Middleweight Chael Sonnen at the Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC Night on FOX 2, but according to Sonnen, the brawler from Manchester, England would give the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva quite a beating and might even take the belt away from him, if he was given a shot at the title.

The match between Sonnen and Bisping received great reviews on the social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook and although Sonnen won the match via a controversial decision, he acknowledged the fact that the match could have gone either way, particularly in the first two rounds.

Chael Sonnen is now in line for a title shot against Anderson Silva which is scheduled to take place later in 2012 and he revealed that Bisping took him absolutely by surprise during the match and his powerful strikes were hard for him to handle, particularly during the opening exchanges. Sonnen also reckons that even someone like Anderson Silva, who is yet to lose in the UFC, would find it hard against Michael Bisping, who has been a winner of The Ultimate Fighter.

Sonnen also referred to the fact that having fought both Silva and Bisping, he was sure that the 28 year old Brit could get the better of him, if only he had the confidence and focus throughout the match. It also seems that the admiration between the two fighters is mutual with Bisping also showering Chael Sonnen with praise and congratulating him in advance for the fight against Silva.

Bisping also went on to add that the 30-27 score was far from the real score and that the judges got it wrong and he also added that the next time they meet, Sonnen will be the one on the losing side.
