Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

I know I'm in the minority in this one but I personally find Sonnen hilarious.

I'm just glad he's gone the route he has...without it, it'd be another boring Anderson Silva fight. At least Sonnen has guaranteed us an exciting fight, no doubt AS is motivated and wants to destory this guy now.

I honestly think Sonnen can give AS fits and can beat him...will he? I don't know. Having said that, I didn't give Sonnen much of a chance against Marquardt and he dominated that fight.

He really doesn't stop.



Sonnen vs. Armstrong and Phelps handicap match!

I just finished reading that article, unbelievable. Ive had no problems with him hyping his fight with Silva but why do you suddenly attack Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps, it makes little sense. Im sure someone will say hes trying to play up the villian role but its so bizarre to me right now. How did Armstrong give himself cancer anyways? I'd love to hear his argument on that one.

he seems to have no problem attacking everyone including the Nogueira brothers, machida, rampage jackson, and everyone that silva has fought. he will talk smack about anyone at anytime it seems

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

also i love that in an interview he said that anderson hasn't ever fought a wrestler like him. then what is dan henderson, imo i would say he is a way better wrestler than sonnen especially at the time silva fought him.

Well, Henderson being a better wrestler is debatable.

Well atleast those guys are fighters and can do something about it in the cage. Attacking a guy and claiming he gave himself cancer has nothing to do with the UFC, the guy hes fighting or anything else even remotely associated with the UFC.

very true. that whole gave himself cancer thing is just ridiculous, how could anyone ever say that about someone

Very debatable. Plus Dan was a little in too love with his standup at the time. Actually he still is after the Bisping fight.

Wow they got Sonnen on Sportscenter. Not bad.

He said he beat every MW he fought. Maia put him to sleep with a triangle at UFC 94! (I think.)

Yeah, I have a big problem with Sonnen saying that stuff about Armstrong. But, guys can get wrapped up in talking smack and then crazy ish comes out of their mouth before they think about what they are actually saying. I hope that's the case here.

Just stick to bad-mouthing Silva. He's done a great job so far in building interest for the fight, and for that he should be applauded. Silva can barely bring himself to answer questions from the media and is really a terrible champion outside of the cage.

At least he doesnt bad mouth peoples idols. But i do agree with you, he has done a great job hyping this fight.

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

Sonnen is really starting to sound like your average country backwoods hick who thinks they can beat anybody and that they are better then everybody that don't look like them by birth right.

Sonnen is just FULL of himself. How quickly he forgot how Maia easily submitted him in the 1st round. Also he forgot how poor his BJJ defense is. 8 of his loses came by submission.

ya sonnen said in an interview that he hates bjj and doesn't practice submission defense. also that he doesn't do bjj because he won't ever be seen on his back with a grown man between his legs on national tv lol. he better be practicing his submission defense for this fight

lmao wow. How are you going to be a professional fighter but won't try to defend yourself against a style that a lot of people use?
