Den 15 maj släpps Chael Sonnens bok ”The Voice of Reason: A VIP Pass to Enlightenment” och det är Sonnen i egen hög person som skrivit det 320 sidor långa verket.
På baksidan av boken framkommer det att meningen med verket är att vara en guide till att bli som han. Sonnen är känd som en bråkmakare som gärna ställer till det och bland annat har han en dom gällande pengatvätt i bagaget.
Sonnen var väldigt mycket på tapeten inför UFC 117 när han skulle möta Anderson Silva. Det var väldigt mycket psykningar från amerikanens sida om att han skulle pensionera Silva. Trots snacket förlorade Sonnen matchen på en armbar i slutfasen av femte ronden. Sonnen har fått ihop 27 vinster och 11 förluster under sin professionella MMA-karriär och de flesta av hans vinster har kommit via domslut efter full tid. Till sommaren kommer Sonnen få ytterligare en match mot Silva och en ännu chans på mellanviktstiteln.
Nedan kan ni läsa baksidestexten från boken.
”Presence. Tenacity. Insight. Omniscience. No need to look these words up. They are defined by yours truly. Who am I? I’m the one who needs no introduction, the walking thesaurus, the UFC’s most infamous and feared destroyer of men. I am Chael P. Sonnen, and you want to be just like me.
It’s your lucky day. What you are holding in your hands is nothing short of a V.I.P pass to enlightenment. In the coming pages my humor and tales of heroic adventure will baptize you in superhuman greatness. Allow me to carry you like a frail damsel as I make a nightmarish decent into the bowels of Sao Paulo. Sit before me as a student as I teach you about my plans of creating a Chaelocracy, which translates to ”A Better Earth.” Shower me with praise as I take you into my manly mitts like a lump of seemingly worthless clay and craft you into something far better than yourself—me.
Like all great men of myth and legend, I strive for the betterment of the human race. Prometheus brought us fire; Dana White brought us the modern day gladiator; and I bring you a step-by-step guide to being just like me. Do you have what it takes? Is there truly a chance that one day you will be able to walk in my shoes? Purchase this book and find out. There is no better day to stop being you and starttrying to be me.
You’re welcome civilization.”
”Inside this book I offer you my knowledge of physics, politics, linguistics, history, and physiology. Unless you are currently standing in the checkout line or speeding home, wanting to save my brilliance for when you are curled up in a recliner sipping on some tea, you have already failed at becoming something similar to me. Chael P. Sonnen knows what he wants and buys it. He doesn’t need a dust jacket to tell him a book is good. He can feel it.”
