UFC 117 - Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen

[MC Fatigue]

I have to say this about Silva fighting.

I don't care.

I'll check out the results of the fights the next day, and if people say it was amazing, or if Sonnen won, then I'll probably watch it just because a good fight it worth watching. But I won't watching anything leading up to it, and I won't make any effort to watch it the night of.

It was only 1 bad fight that he had and that was only half of the fight. the first 2 and a half rounds of the Maia fight were very entertaining to me.

He's had several bad fights. The problem with silva is that the fight relies on his opponent. He doesn't go out and put on great fights, his opponent has to, but then they get ko'd because all he does is counter.

The only other bad fights I can think of is vs. Leites(literally layed on his back for no reason everytime he got hit by anything) and vs. Cote(both guys circled each other Machida vs. Evans style for 2 rounds until Cote blew out his knee early in the 3rd). Other than those he hasn't been past the 2nd round.

No surprise........people can say what they want to say, but at the end of the day it all comes down to MONEY. Silva is a cash cow. His name fills seats.

Sure Sonnen will push the pace and get his butt KO'ed or subbed by the 2nd round. I mean seriously.........

Silva stand up is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better then Sonnen. Plus Silva is a BJJ black belt that won a handful of his fights by submission already.

Sonnen's BJJ defense SUCKS.

its been more than 1 fight. Silva's fights haven't been entertaining in a while. Some of that is the opponents, some of that is him just not closing the show. The last fight had sparks of excitement but never developed into flames.

I won't pay for a Silva fight and i'm sure a lot of others wont pay for this fight after his last performance. I think Dana owes it to the fans to put this one on for free on Spike.
