Chael Sonnen: Full Time Fighters are Lazy

Chael Sonnen is not only a fighter, he's a real estate agent and a Republican with political aspirations.  These fine endeavors keep the UFC title contender busy, and he has no patience for fighters who say they train full time.

In an interview with Brawl Sports, Sonnen said:

Look, anybody who is a full time fighter is a full time lazy guy. There's no way. What do we work out for, three hours a day? I've got a two hour session with Team Quest and a one hour session on my own each day. That's three hours a day. I've got friends who spend more time playing golf. That leaves you 21 hours a day. You can either contribute to society or you can play Playstation. There is no such thing as a full time fighter. You can say that all you want, but unless you're working out 40 hours a week -- which you are not -- it's just not full time. That's just the truth.

Hmm, Playstation or contributing to society?  That's a toughie! Is it Playstation 3?

And speaking of toughies, Sonnen will have one on his hands in a couple of weeks when he takes on Anderson Silva, a man who many believe is the top pound for pound fighter in the world.  In that fight, Chael will definitely have his work cut out for him.
