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.
