Rebellion Roundtable: What Was The First UFC You Saw?
Twenty years ago today a bunch of dudes ? big dudes, scary dudes, martial arts dudes ? climbed into a cage, and in a never-before-seen pay-per-view competition that was more ?fall of the Roman Empire? than real athletic endeavor, they beat the ever-loving crap out of each other. That?s right, on November 12, 1993, in […]

Chael Sonnen fears for safety as coach on TUF: Brazil, requested extra security from UFC
UFC moneyweight Chael Sonnen fights next week against Rashad Evans but already has his following two engagements set. Sonnen will fly to South America after UFC 167 to be coach opposite rival Wanderlei Silva on the next Brazilian edition of The Ultimate Fighter.
Over the years, Sonnen has lobbed many xenophobic insults at Brazilian fighters as well as the nation itself. In a recent interview with Brazilian news outlet Folha de Sao Paulo, Sonnen admitted to not feeling safe as a future TUF coach in Brazil and said that he requested extra security for his time filming the reality competition series.
Asked simply if he felt safe in Brazil, Sonnen replied, "no."

The interviewer then asked Sonnen specifically if he worried that an offended Brazilian citizen might shoot him while he was in the country. Sonnen paused before saying, "I had not thought of shots...I was more concerned with the possibility of a lynching, perhaps a knife attack. But I think it is possible, yes."
Sonnen confirmed asking UFC President Dana White and the UFC to take extra measures to keep him safe while he coached against Silva on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil. "Major steps are being taken," he said.
"Dana White takes care of that sort of thing. The measures he suggested are very sophisticated, more than I would suggest. But I understand that I'm not totally safe in the U.S., either."
Do you think Sonnen will face any problems while a temporary resident of Brazil and how do you think the Brazilian fighters on his team will react to "The American Gangster?" Let us know in the comments section.

UFC champ Georges St-Pierre may retire after November fight
On Nov. 16, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will defend his belt against Johny Hendricks. According to GSP?s head coach, Firas Zahabi, the champ is hungry and motivated right now but there is no guarantee that he will be back for more after this next fight.
?It takes a special mind to do MMA,? Zahabi said in a recent interview.
?We need to train every day, do not go out and do not do things you love. Train all day long. It is not easy. It?s really something.?
The TriStar coach says that St. Pierre has yet to determine if he?ll be interested in going through all that again after the Hendricks fight. If the French Canadian does not feel the same desire to sacrifice and train hard, Zahabi says St. Pierre will retire after the next fight.
?Georges told me?if he still has the motivation for another training camp, he will continue. Otherwise, he will retire,? Zahabi said.
?Motivation is the most important thing. When you do not have it, you have nothing. Georges is motivated for this camp. He?s trained well.?
St. Pierre is over eleven years into his MMA career, most of which has been in the UFC. Though the 32 year-old has looked sharp in his most recent fights, with wins over Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz since returning from ACL replacement surgery, it may be that he?s nearing the end of the road by his own choice.
What do you think? Is St. Pierre talking privately about retirement a sign that he?s not completely focused on beating Johny Hendricks next month at UFC 167 or will a sense of finality add to his motivation to go out on a high note?
