10 Chael Sonnen Controversies We Won't Forget

4. Insulting Anderson Silva's Wife

There are some things that are just plain off limits. Family is one of them. Except when you're Mike Tyson, pondering dining on an opponent's children. And Chael Sonnen, who had this to say in regards to Anderson Silva's wife on the MMA Show in 2011: "You tell Anderson Silva I'm coming over and I'm kicking down his backdoor and patting his little lady on the ass and I'm telling her to make me a steak, medium-rare just how I like it." This eventually got to Silva, with the Spider claiming he was going to "break his face and break every one of the teeth in his mouth" when it came time to fight Sonnen. Oddly enough, in later years they patched things up, with Silva at one point being rumoured as a guest coach of Chael's TUF Brazil gig. So was this just promotion, or was it real?
