With UFC Tonight set to debut Tuesday on Fuel, one of the most outspoken fighters in the sport -- Chael Sonnen -- will debut a segment on the show called 'Chael's Corner'.
The video clip below features Sonnen giving his famous opinions on several fighters including Wanderlei Silva, Lyoto Machida and Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, reiterating his recent claims that his next title shot will not be against Silva.
Sonnen will fight Mark Munoz in the co-main event of UFC on Fox 2 on Saturday, January 28, with the winner expected to earn a shot at Silva's 185-pound title. The 34-year-old was dominant in an October submission win over Brian Stann, his first since famously tapping to Silva in August 2010.
UFC Tonight is Fuel's new weekly news-style show, done in a similar vein to ESPN MMA Live. It features WEC play-by-play announcer Todd Harris and Kenny Florian as co-anchors with Jay Glazer and Ariel Helwani contributing as well. The show will air at 10 PM EST.
See the video after the jump.

gspmademegay - January 1, 2012
I’d rather see him “fight” John Cena.

I just saw a commercial for Punk Payback with Bas Rutten
Must watch this show..
Chris Hall - January 1, 2012
You figured out my fapping substitute. No porn available? Just go watch Bas.
mountaineers101 - January 1, 2012
there’s always porn available
tigerlee - January 1, 2012

Chael's Corner = Piper's Pit
Jon Fitch was right!
John Nash - January 1, 2012
Jon Fitch has his own gimmick:
“If I could be serious for a minute …”

I love the mean mug at the very end. My top 3 P4P mean muggers are: 1-Nick Diaz, 2-Chael Sonnen, 3-Rampage Jackson.

I think you gotta squeeze Diego in there somewhere.
GirlsBeatMeUp - January 1, 2012
Diego’s seems forced and fake to me.

No love for Thiago Silva?
775assassin - January 1, 2012 via mobile
He does have a good one. Solid top ten!! I actually prefer his post-fight win throat slit over his mean mug.
ANance - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Number 1 Goes To Thiago
Chael’s looks like a joke he looks like a nerd trying to be tough
AfroSamurai - January 1, 2012
Condit
Chris Hall - January 1, 2012
The man is going to be a great broadcaster when he retires
No question about it, the few times I’ve seen him talk dispassionately about the sport (as opposed to promoing himself) he kills it.
Scott Whitaker - January 1, 2012
I think this might be a bridge too far for my Chael love.
Rundownloser - January 1, 2012
That pic of Stan and Sonnen is a great picture.
J_Maddux - January 1, 2012
His best bet would be to go after GSP and save himself the ass whooping. Jones submission game is too much for “Uncle Chael”.
Meek Mill - January 1, 2012
Is Sportsnet going to cover this? I have no idea how to to get this channel in Canuckistan.
DirtyML - January 1, 2012
no way he can make 170
as for a Jones fight, I really really hope that happens. But he’s actually better off fighting Silva than Jones.
