In the UFC, who would you consider the best trash talkers and who would you declare the king of trash talk?
I think that the answer is going to change as the sport goes on.
However, if I had to declare someone the “King”, I would have to go with the guy that started it for me, and that is the recently retired Chael Sonnen. The reason I chose him is that I was a mark back when he did his thing in the UFC before I even realized he was helping the sport grow.
I was at his last fight when he announced his retirement and wrote about it, you can check it out here:
Chael Sonnen Defined Why Bad Guys Are Necessary in MMA
Something he said when addressing the media stuck out to me when they asked him what he thought his legacy would be, he said, “I think I had a hand in the entertainment era we’re in now.”
I think he did and anyone that didn’t get it was and still is a mark.
