Anderson certainly hyped up this fight with these fighting words because Chael hasn't actually said that much with regards to this fight. He laid down all the groundwork pre UFC 117 to now.

At the end of the day, Chael is not Yushin Okami and he will not let Anderson dictate the pace and get all comfy. Chael will come forward, he will try (and probably succeed) in double legging Anderson to the ground with Anderson trying to take his head off with strikes before that, and then Anderson will either have to submit Chael or try and get up. No real secrets here.

One thing the UFC messed up was not having a Primetime for this, but I don't know if it's the fighters just didn't agree or what.

I strongly hope he's going to REALLY do it on Chael!

I can't disagree with anything you said, but I'm just convinced in my mind that his rib[s] were giving him a lot of trouble in their first fight.

It's just my opinion and I actually didn't believe it initially, but looking at all of Anderson's fights in the UFC... in my mind it's not a stretch to believe his ribs were not allowing him to have an extra spring in his step to at least prevent some of Chael's takedowns. Credit where credit is due to Chael, but I think it will look different this time around.

Apparently not too long after that, Silva hung up, then Sonnen and Dana cut the conference call short, even though he had Tito and Forrest available.

For Silva to show that much anger ... wow. Chael obviously has done what he set out to do, now he's just go to finish the job.

I think it's safe to say Chael Sonnen's execution date has been set.
