Sonnen v Machida rumoured for UFC 136
Quote:
Good stuff, but was hoping for the Silva rematch :'( |
Sonnen talks shit about Brazilian fighters because they're always choking his ass out. I honestly think Machida will smash him at 205. I'd rather see Sonnen v. Munoz or even a rematch with Maia.
|
If Sonnen wins im sure he'll get his rematch with Silva.
|
Well we should know what kind of a chin Chael has. Chaels gonna shoot once or twice, Machida is going to shrug him aside and then rearrange the features of Mr Sonnens face.
|
It's Brian Stann

Damn..it's a good fight but I don't think we'll get a fullblown Sonnen trashtalk mode. ah well
|
Nah, knowing Sonnen he'll probably say he joined the Taliban or something just to get the heat :lol:
|
fuck it, just turn on America Sgt. Slaughter style, he can have Shieky baby and General Adnan corner him
|
Nah. I think Sonnen will be low key for this fight. He was surprisingly respectful in his interview with Helwani after Wandy got KOed.
|
:lol: he wasnt so nice in his ESPN interview

He definitely says some mean/borderline racist shit in his trash talk, but when he got interviewed literally right after Wanderlei got KOed he was real respectful. I think Chael's just a master at hyping his fights and wearing the black hat when necessary.
Shit Chael Sonnen Tweets: "Machida is not a bad guy; he's a victim of the Brazilian education system. There are better ways to get electrolytes than drinking piss." "Cro Cop is a relic, a reminder from the old days. A museum of ancient victories isn't worth a nickel today, not even in his native currency." "Don't get me wrong; Cro Cop was a good fighter back in the day. I would have told him myself, but I was 2." "If it wasn't for me, you would be thrashing around the jungle w/a blowgun trying' to catch breakfast." |
dunno, Sonnen's trash talking is always so daft/ridiculous/slapstick I don't see how anybody including his opponent would take it remotely serious. Guys like Bisping, Hardy, Mir etc on the other hand seem to truly get under people's skin and generate a buzz with the hyping/trash talking
|
Classic heel vs face.

I can seriously see Stann pummeling Sonnen
|
I see Sonnen having to work his way up and earn that rematch with Silva because of what happened.

The best part is when he appears genuinely amazed that they have computers in Brazil.
|
He started so calmly too.
|
I just watched it again, Chael Sonnen is awesome on a lot of levels.
|
I need some more Chael Sonnen in my life.
|
lol honestly he was outta control in that one..poor Ariel
|
He definitely got into character for that interview. Apparently he's going to take the high road for the fight with Stann:
"I ask Brazil for a fight, and Machida answers. I ask for a REAL fight, and a Marine steps up. I see you hiding Lyoto, and I won't forget this." |
lol the '8 second' stuff in that interview. Not like he tapped out or anything. Guy is slapstick.
|
I know, makes me wonder if he just says it to say it, or if he's truly crazy and believes it.

It's a character me thinks. Think about it, Chael isn't a particularly exciting fighter. The nut medicine he was taking probably helped him make the Marquardt and Silva fights more exciting bouts. Without it, they probably would have been his usual lay on the guy until the bell. The trash talk keeps him relevant and even makes him seem like he's a better middleweight fighter than he really is. What he said in this interview seems like a more genuine Chael, but if he was like that all the time no one would care about him. As ridiculous as his trash talking is, I do like it for the most part. |
He certainly fits the mold of the trash talking wrestler, but he's just taken it all to a new level in MMA.
|
Chael is the fucking best.

So will you be in Rio? Absolutely |
Joe Rogan was the biggest influence in getting sonnen licensed. He cited Job Security as a reason!

UFC 136 Shaping Up Quite Nicely
Edgar v. Maynard
Aldo v. Florian Guillard v. Lauzon On paper this card looks like it could be pretty exciting. Not sure Lauzon moves Guillard closer to a title shot though. |
I'd say he's pretty much there, especially if he wins this but with Henderson/Miller coming up and Clay Guida existing/on a roll, maybe not. Isn't the winner of Henderson/Miller getting the next shot or did I imagine that? Maybe we see the winner of that fight against Maynard/Edgar with Guillard fighting Guida should he beat Lauzon. Not to mention Gilbert Melendez's inevitable UFC move. Lightweight is fun atm.
|
155 is definitely the deepest division right now in my opinion.
If Henderson beats Miller, I think Dana would have to then do Guida/Henderson before Benson gets a title shot considering Guida would hold a win over the last guy to beat Henderson. As a result of an outcome like that, I think Melvin would be given the nod to be number 1 contender if he beat Lauzon. If Miller wins, I wouldn't be surprised if he got an outright title shot. I don't think Dana has much faith in Clay Guida as a legit threat to the champion right now, otherwise he would have named Guida next in line. I feel like a Guida/Siver match up is next with Melvin fighting the winner of that fight assuming Miller beats Henderson and is named number 1 contender. |
It may be the deepest, but is it the most intriguing division?
|
And Jim Miller will wreck Henderson. I don't care about anyone else, Miller derserves the title shot.
The worst thing to happen would be if Miller and Gulliard both lost, we are right back to where we started, unless you really think Guida is a contender. |
I think it's pretty intriguing. GSP and Anderson dominate their divisions. Heavyweight is really thin. LHW seems like it's going to be Jon Jones' for awhile as much as I would love to see Rampage get a win over him. I honestly don't know enough about the rosters at 145 and 135 divisions other than Dustin Poirier being the fucking man to really get amped up for anything but the championship fights in those divisions.
It seems like 155 has six or seven guys who could legitimately beat each other for the title and when you throw in the possibility of Gil making the jump it gets even more exciting. |

This agreeing with each other and shit needs to stop.

I don't want Guida anywhere near my damn ppv main event.
|
Gulliard should be fighting someone with better standing than Lauzon... Don't get me wrong Lauzon is a ta;ented fighter but Gulliard should be fighting in a title eliminator by now.
|
Chael Sonnen vs Brian Stann should be miiiiint
|
I think a Guida/Gulliard fight would be Fight of the Night on any card..

Really intrigued by Sonnen/Stann

this is great

Good ass ad. Dude, Saturday is gonna be sick for me. 4 of us at work are changing jobs on the same day (today) and everyone's throwing us a going away party with part one being the fights. Part 2 is bar hopping, part 3 is a house party. Gonna be hungover as fuck for Thanksgiving dinner.
|
That ad was good..
My boy Vinny is going to this fight, that lucky bastard.. :( |

|
Facebook fights just started, Steve Cantwell, Joey Beltran, Aaron Simpson all fighting
|
If you played a drinking game based on how many times Mike Goldberg repeated the same "fighter bio facts/tidbits" during a fight, you'd probably end up black out drunk two fights into the event.
|
Maia's fights bore me
|
I think Stann might pull it off tonight..have a feeling, although I want Sonnenn to win just for a rematch with Silva
|
holy shitttt Joe Lauzon
|
DAMN!
|
Really hope they do Nate Diaz vs. Joe Lauzon. That would be a good fight.
|
lolll Rashad looking dapper in his expensive suit and we zoom out to reveal Forrest who could have just been working in his garden
|
Come on Nam. Nam is definitely the better fighter, I'd hate to see him go home.
|
Leonard Garcia appears to not believe in putting his hands up
|
I love Leonard Garcia.
|
Neither of these guys should get cut after this one.
|
YES!!!!
|
lol wow..they should just put these two on every card.
|
against each other
|
Quote:
I know it's not a "big fight", but I'd love to see these two main event a show just so they get 5 rounds. I want a 5 round fight between these two. Also, I love JoRo interviewing both of them. |
at a bar watching this the first two main card fights were awesome
|
Chael is looking beastly.
|
Love Chael's pace
|
Stupid crowd was booing so the ref stood em up
|
yeaaaaaaa
|
WOW Sonnen haha
|
lol Sir Charles and Silva sitting together is a before and after tele-ad
|
Come on KenFlo.
Also, Sonnen is trying to turn UFC into WWE, come on bro. |
Sonnen is out of his mind. Fuck Silva/Henderson. After that performance, they need to do Silva/Sonnen. Let the trash talk begin, again.
The whole loser leaves town thing is pro wrestling-ish though. |
It's a one way stipulation on the Sonnen/Silva rematch..I dont think Silva will leave the division but I think Sonnen retires if he loses
|
Quote:
|
Sonnen is brilliant. As ridiculous as a statement that may be, it's going to have every writer and MMA fan talking about him and wanting the fight happen.
|
Exactly
|
Damn missed the Sonnen fight
|
Jesus fucking Christ Florian.
|
Why is it Florian looks great in all his non-title fights (not counting Maynard), and looks like utter shit in title fights? Dear god.
|
in his title fights, he comes up against real world class fighters ;)
|
Quote:
I dunno. |
Anyway, if the cut to featherweight was tough for him, the cut to Bantamweight is going to kill him.
|
Quote:
|
Are they showing a replay of the first fight?
|
Jesus Christ Frankie. If your plan is to break his hand with your nose, it's going to work.
|
if Frankie comes out and turns this around, he is the fucking man
|
he's the fucking man already for getting out of that round but you NAWMEAN
|
HOLY SHIT!!!
|
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
WOW!!! |
FUCKING AV IT
|
Gotta love Frankie Edgar. Edgar/Melendez. Make the fight Dana.
