Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

Anderson had the stare of death going on and Chael looked scared as hell.

Oh hell yes!!

If I actually had money to spend, I would seriously buy this PPV just from that "Spider Stare of Death". That was ****ing awesome. Chael is done. This makes me happy.

EDIT: I wonder if Chael thought Anderson didn't understand English and he would get away with all that big talk because as soon as he seen Silva face to face, dude was shook.

I disagree, he looks like he has a smirk on his face because he actually believes hes gotten inside Silva's head. I seriously doubt thats the case but the following picture sure makes me believe that thats exactly what Chael thinks atleast.

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

Chael says that Anderson understands English, it's just that he doesn't care to speak it.

He also roasted Ed Soares when he incorrectly translated Anderson.. haha.

That .gif to me means that:

1) Anderson means serious business come Saturday.
2) Anderson is annoyed by Chael, which is exactly what Chael wanted.

I still stand by the idea that Chael will dump Anderson on his head, and he will put up a good fight before succumbing to the Spider. We'll see.

Come on Chael, pull the upset of the century just so Silva has to start fighting people again!

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

I think the head games have just gone up a couple levels. Chael already has that look in his eye like, "What in the **** have I gotten myself into."

I will be rooting for him, but he is going to have a short night. I doubt it will last longer than 90 seconds.

I actually think that he has gotten in his head. When have you EVER seen Anderson do that. He's usually bowing and **** at the press conference. Sonnen turned away not because he was scared but because after they do the stareoff, they are supposed to turn to the photographers for straight ahead shots. Silva was so angry/focused that he refused..

Good work Sonnen! It looks like Silva is ticked off and will be looking to actually finish the fight. I just hope Sonnen gets in some offense and makes it a fight for 1-2 rounds ... I'd like to see him win, but unless he manages to take Silva down early every round and control him on the ground, there's going to come a point in time where Silva and Sonnen are both on their feet and Silva is just way too fast for Sonnen.

I'll be rooting for Sonnen against Silva. Against anyone else is another story but, I definitely hope Sonnen gets the upset in this one.

Highlights of the Pre-Fight Press Conference. Hilarious stuff, including the aforementioned stare down.

Just hoping Silva doesn't do anything stupid like charge into a haymaker or something

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

Well I would be pissed off too if somebody constantly disses my native country. Everytime Sonnen fights somebody from Brazil he disses the country as a whole. He did it against Filho, Maia, Sobral and now Silva.

I see this happening like the Carlos Newton fight from many years ago. Silva just going to tie him and force a stand up with his long limbs. Then when it gets backs up, Sonnen going to automatically look to shoot in and get knee'ed in the face like Newton did.

Haha a little more talk from Sonnen here, I'm really disappointed that I'll be out camping this weekend instead of watching this:

"I expect to win. I will be shocked and extremely disappointed in myself if I lose this fight. If I lose this fight, that doesn't mean Anderson's a good fighter; it just means I'm that bad. I'm not looking to do anything but run right through this guy. If this guy makes me burn a bunch of calories and burn a good deep sweat I'd be surprised."

Re: UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

That press conference was funny was hell.

Chael:"I received 99.6% of the vote."
Questioner: "Was that the one where you ran unopposed?"
Chael: "Yes."
