Lyoto Machida calls out Chael Sonnen after a successful left elbow surgery
by Hubert Lau on January 03, 2012

Lyoto Machida wasted no time in calling out professional smack-talker and UFC middleweight, Chael Sonnen, shortly after he underwent successful elbow surgery according to fightersonlymagazine.co.uk.

"Chael Sonnen, I just got out of surgery, but I can give you your return gift inside the Octagon - with one arm. All you have to do is accept the fight," Machida said.

The animosity might stem from Sonnen's FUEL TV promo clip where he suggested mouth wash for Machida, referencing his use of urine therapy. Alternatively, Sonnen's consistent bashing of Brazil/Brazilian fighters, like Anderson Silva, might've finally hit the breaking point with Machida who just wants to silence Sonnen.

"I don't have time for 'pee pee' mouth. All the time I can spare him is enough to cold cock him and walk away," Sonnen replied on his twitter account.

A matchup between Machida and Sonnen is unlikely since Sonnen is set to face Mark Munoz at UFC on Fox 2. If he wins that bout it's assumed that he would contest for the middleweight championship, despite being "done" with Silva. Should he lose, a matchup with Machida is possible since Sonnen has already expressed interest in the light heavyweight division, a fight with Jon Jones.

As for Machida's surgery, "The Dragon" says that he is feeling very well.

 

 |  (16) Comments Giada Esposito: OK, this left me feeling...weak in the knees. :o Chael, please accept this offer. Since you apparently feel you are too good for Silva. Lady Dragon 420: Machida:) GO HARD: lets be real.... Chael wants no part of 205 The Hitman: This fight would be awesome. I hope Chael goes for it. WAR SONNEN GO HARD: Chael feels and believes and should believe that he can beat Anderson Silva and be a long time force at 185. He wants to be a champion more than anything in this world.... he promised it to his father. He isnt going to lose his best shot at doing that to get in the same division as Jon Jones. aint happening. maybe if he loses to A Silva in the rematch, but dont let this clowns gift of gab fool ya. SicJits: Machida likes to punch and get out, his style will give Chael all the time he needs to make it a tough fight. What in your face wrestler has he faced? Please don't say RC @ 46yo and standing flat-footed in front of him, cause Chael won't do that. Chael talks way TOO MUCH CRAP, but imho he'd be a tough match up for the Dragon who is WAY overated imo arlovskiviako: chael sonnen, funny as shit Wandering_Minstrel: "Pee-pee mouth". Love it. :D JujitsWho: That could have played a part, no doubt. Honestly, I happen to think Sonnan is just a bad match-up for Andy, stylistically. I can see him doing what he did again. He's just very good at one of the few things that Silva isn't. nygiant: Yeah but wasn't Andy fighting injured in their first bout?
