Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

I hate his voice and the way he talks for some reason... annoys the crap out of me. I want to see KILL MODE Silva but it would be a cool upset too because Chael is a gigantic douche and would make a nice "heel" type champion that everyone just wants to destroy. Win-win IMO... if Silva wins there's also that possibility of going up or down in weight classes to get more belts, which is REALLY a win.

Silva aint going down or up. He's staying at MW and thats a problem because after Sonnen and Belfort he has practically cleaned out the division.

Yep, he's staying @ 185. Perhaps Okami can win another fight or two and get a shot?

If he wins one more fight, he would desreve the shot.

Looking forward to seeing Fail Sonnen get destroyed this weekend.

Yep. Sonnen could win the fight, but only by Decision. Silva can wreck him like he used too, submit him when he gets taken down, or be a stupid clown and dance for 25 minutes.

Yeah, I really hope he doesn't pull the ish he did against Maia in Round 2-5. I know, and everyone else knows, that Silva could easily destroy most guys if he wanted to. It's just a matter of him actually wanting to do that.

The problem is, if he does that against Sonnen, sonnen could take him down and decision him.

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

Sonnen is acting like your typical douche....I am all for trash talking, but Sonnen taking it to some WWE type crap. And Sonnen is really over stating his ground game....

I mean obvviosuly he never seen Anderson's career outside of the UFC. Anderson had 2 professional boxing fights 1-1. In Brazil MMA he was 9-1, with 6 of those wins by submission. In Shooto he beat Sakuria, who up to do that point hadn't lost a fight in 20 matches. In Pride he beat Carlos Newton in his prime. He beat Jeremy Horn. Beat Dan Henderson.....

So come saturday......I believe Sonnen just awaken a dragon and going to get destroyed.

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

The preview show was really entertaining. The UFC should be thankful Sonnen is doing his best to sell the fight because Silva doesn't do anything. Nothing beats his line about how Silva's 15 minutes of fame are almost up

I feel like the Nelson/JDS isn't getting the hype it deserves. Considering the winner of this match will face the winner of Lesnar/Cain, this should be the co-main event. If Nelson pulls off the upset, I hope he rubs his belly and does the double point at the camera again.

I agree, this is one of my most anticipated fights of the year.

As much as I love JDS and want to see him as the champ some day, he still has a long career ahead of him so I'll be pulling for Nelson in this one. I really don't know how to call this one, it will be Roy's experience against the athleticism of JDS.

I have a feeling Roy will strike with JDS long enough for him to get comfortable and then look to take him down. If Roy can get the fight to the ground early in the first, I think that he could end it pretty quickly.

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

He really doesn't stop.

"When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this ‘Hey, poor me, let's find a cure for cancer' campaign instead of just coming clean and saying, ‘Look, here's what I did, I screwed myself up, and I hope people learn from my mistakes.' You just watch these guys and can't help but think, God, what a fraud. You got the whole Michael Phelps being a pothead thing too. I'm just glad I'm in the business I'm in so I can get them in the cage and kick the crap out of them."

Sonnen vs. Armstrong and Phelps handicap match!
