Its reported by Jonathan Snowden who writes articles for Bleacher Report which means he has zero creditability. Apparently it's to do with the knee strike and it's intent behind it. I'm sorry, but I really don't think Chael is THAT stupid. How do you prove someones intent in a situation like this? :l Didn't Rashad use a similar knee on Tito? Then Mr Snowden said Sonnens COACH has planned the appeal and that they demand a rematch.

What do you guys think? I really respected Chael after the post-fight conference and I don't think he said it. If he did, WEAAAAAAAAAAK. Anyways, don't rip him to shreds! Its a rumour and could be a load of horse****. Still, I thought I'd open a thread to see if you guys think there's a chance its true and if it is, how successful he'd be.

Yeah hopefully it turns out false, I mean from what I saw it was a clean shot to the body and there is no way you can prove he was trying to knee him in the face

The MMA Show ‏@themmashow

On @themmashow w/ @mauroranallo@mmaencyclopedia says@sonnench's camp believes @spideranderson's thigh hit him in the face


Apparently it's for the INTENT and the fact the thigh hit him. But thats ridiculous. It's so ******* stupid I just don't believe it. Chael is not that dumb.

That would be totally lame.  I suspect it's not true, given the source, but with Chael, you never really know, do you?

@SK so you think it was in illegal shot? Or you think he was going for the face?

@Soccerkick You can't take what everyone says literally! After all, Chael said he was gonna beat Anderson up and that went well :P I think Andy definitely wanted to break his face but I've said worse stuff I'd never do.

Chael himself said "it was a good knee" in the post-fight interview.

It could have been premediated that Anderson had in his head if he got the chance he'd throw a knee/kick to the head of Sonnen on the ground, but he's extremely accurate with his strikes and decided to go to the body...Does anyone believe Bisping didn't intend to throw a knee to the face of Rivera in their fight

who cares if he was trying to hit him in the face? does intent matter if you don't actually break the rules?

I understand the story is shocking @Die, but do you need a toffee milkshake that bad?

this is absurd , he would have a better shot at apealing the fence grab or the shorts grab but the NSAC isnt going to overturn a fight for that . hes just trying to stay relevant . I like chael and i think all his trash talk is funny but this has to be garbage that his manager is putting in his head.

http://vigilantemma.com/2012/07/09/coach-says-knee-connected-with-sonnens-face-demands-re-match/

“We believe the knee that Anderson Silva threw was illegal with the clear intent to strike the face. And it did in fact connect with the face. Chael bit his tongue and needed eight stitches.”

I really think it was a legal knee but maybe his thigh or something did bump Sonnen's face I dunno though

this needs to be retitled  to say Chael Sonnen's coach or Scott McQuarry to file appeal...I have yet to see any where say Chael Sonnen is filing the appeal
