Can't wait to see the reaction Chael gets when he walks out to the cage.

Holyshit @ the stadium where it is gonna be

NICE

It's like that Abu Dabi shit..

Jesus Christ, I hope they got enough security for that shit.

That's what I'm saying. After all the things Sonnen has said about Silva/Brazil and all the trash he will talk in the build up, there's no way those fans won't raise hell 10 feet if Silva loses. It's not just American vs. Brazilian; it's American who has said some borderline racist shit vs. beloved Brazilian fighter and legend of the sport.

Either way, I think this is going to be one of the most memorable events in all of sports, not just MMA.

I think it would be awesome if Sonnen had his own Popemobile surrounded by Marines to escort him to and from the Octagon.

Dude, have you ever seen soccer rivalries boil over? We're talking brawls across the stands to the point that fires break out and so many people in one place to brawl that fucking concrete stands start collapsing. This could get ugly.

That actually reminds me. I wonder if the Brazilian fans will react to Dana White saying last week that soccer requires no skill at all.

You see that video of the soccer player reading the open letter to Dana White??

Really? Dana is such a fucking twat.

The quote is in the video..

:lol: Awesome. Dana will probably be a little bitch about it like he was with Tito.

He is an arrogant wannabe bitch. What do you expect?

LOL

What does he wannabe exactly??

He thinks he is some badass mother fucker when he is nothing but a failed boxer who got to ride the coattail of his friend all the way to the top of the MMA world. He has done amazing things for UFC and MMA, but he is such an over-the-top arrogant piece of shit that he is holding UFC and MMA from going to the next level of mainstream acceptance. Goodell, Selig, etc. don't act like Dana White does and it would be completely unacceptable for them to because when you are the top authority figure for a major professional sports league, you fucking act like it.

Cant defend Dana sometimes. He does go out of bounds alot.

When did you get into MMA Steele? Are you becoming a big fan like Jabba did after Lesnar drew him in.

Not gonna lie, I like reading your posts even when I disagree or think you don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's always fun when hardcore, but still intelligent wrestling fans get into MMA because they bring the same enthusiasm they have for wrasslin'. That's assuming you don't find a fighter who becomes your Triple H of MMA of course.

I started watching during the peak of Liddell/Couture and really got into it with TUF Season 1, but I don't watch it religiously. I enjoy the big fights and Diego Sanchez is still my favorite fighter even though he's been through some shit.

EDIT: I'll be the first to admit that I do not know all the finer points of MMA or study the different fighting styles and techniques, but I know enough to know Dana is a massive twat.

uggghhhhh

Sanchez??

Really??

I don't do flavors of the month. I loved him on TUF1 and as such I will continue to be a fan.

Same reason I will always hate Chris Leben, I suppose.

See I hated Diego on TUF 1 and loved Leban..

Still do..

I loved MMA during TUF 1. Still do. Not being a cunt, but none of the season 1 guys stuck out to me. Season two however....well we won't get into all of that here :)

Fighter wise, season two is superior but personality wise I think Season 1 still has the best assortment of fighters you either get behind or hate.

I don't understand how anyone can like Chris Leben.

Back on topic, what is the over/under on a riot in Brazil?

I seriously think the PPV is worth the buy just to hear the reaction Sonnen gets when he is introduced and the crowd chaos that will result if he wins. You know he's going to come out to "America the Beautiful" or something to serve as fuel to the fire too.

If I had the money, I'd pay whatever amount it took for him to come out to "America, Fuck Yeah!".

The over under is set at the opening credits.... I'm going with UNDER. This may be the ppv that starts with the backstage riot.

He should come out to Living In America Apollo Creed style.

Fuck it, throw the costume on too. That would be worth the PPV price alone.

He should def wear the Apollo/Rampage American flag trunks..

I want this shirt..

$30?!?!?

is that expensive?

The walkout shirts are always around that price but it's just kinda ridiculous to me.. I'll just wait until after the fight and get it for half price..

Gayyyyyy

It will not be nearly as great if it's not in Brazil..

Does the UN really book shit that late or did nobody in Brazil fucking look at the schedule of events when UFC came to them?

Sonnen is gonna beat that ass....for four and half rounds -_-'

I swear if he brutalizes silva the way he did the first time and still manages to lose...well, I'll.....I'll cry.

What will be amazing is if Silva comes out with something to prove and absolutely destroys him ala Forrest Griffin..

:'(

More likely it'll be like what he did to Yushin Okami. Did you see how he was leading the offence? Tripped me right out.

The possibility of a riot greatly interests me, cant be dealing with Anderson winning this....

I think Atlanta would be a great venue for this fight.

I want the UFC to do a super fight in NOLA at the Superdome on the Saturday before Mardi Gras. The promotional opportunities would be sick and the city would work with the UFC in terms of planning. Especially if you have the fighters on a float with one of the Krewes during the week. That would be epic.

That would be awesome, until every fighter misses weight, and pisses hot with 4 different std's!


I say go for it, all we got here is...gay pride:-\

I'm actually surprised they have never done a "big" show down here.. They did the one "fight night" and sold out, but it was only like 5k seats at the Convention Center, and not at the Arena or the Dome..

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey now! I got out of NOLA after four years at Tulane STD free baby! Uptown girls are clean and classy. Especially Pi Phis... but I digress. I'm a Georgia boy through and through, but as a city, the fans and scene in Atlanta is too uptight at times and most people are out to be seen, not to have a good time.

In NOLA during Mardi Gras (hell anytime), you can go to the parades or game, get wasted off of daiquiris by the levees, hit up Bourbon Street for some hand grenades and tourist floozies, take said floozies to a dive bar like Ms. Mae's, take her home and send her out in a cab. Add a major UFC event to the mix and the amount of epic goes up. You can't do anything like that in Atlanta because of the city's size, laws and too a lesser extent culture.

YOu're one fingerbang away from a Herpes outbreak in NOLA. :)

Yes, a UFC in NOLA sounds like an epic sandwich with a side of awesome and a holy shit shake to wash everything down with. I'm bummed about UFC 145 now. my tickets which I covet and this weekend has been ruined by the untimely death of a very close childhood friend. I'm heading to south carolina tomorrow afternoon to be with his family and attend the funeral.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Be well.

Thanks bro. I'm def gonna be watching at a bar. I wouldn't miss this fight for anything else.

Sonnen does Thuganomics on Silva..not the flow that Cena has but he did pretty good

Sonnen + Stone Cold = win

lol Sonnen loves his wrestling

I love Chael Sonnen.

If Anderson Silva say's he's going to break Chael's legs and teeth. I believe him.

Sonnen is gonna whoop that ass, RP. Right after he comes back from the dentist and rides into the ring in a wheelchair.

I hope Silva goes all matrix on him like he did against Forrest.

On a serious note, I honestly think Sonnen might win this fight. I see a third fight between the two in the cards, regardless. Still wish it would have been able to happen in Brazil, though.

I'm sad because the atmosphere would have been sick in Brazil, but I think it's for the best that the fight isn't happening in Brazil. For the sake of safety and security.

sonnen is going to receive an ass kicking. Can't wait .

not so fast my friend. I've got the sneaking suspicion that Anderson has not worked on his wrestling, and is still succeptable to being taken down. If he can't stop the Sonnen Double leg, then he is going to have to go all matrix off his back, again.

I think Sonnen's TRT gives him a bigger advantage than his wrestling. I'm sorry but if you give a guy synthetic testosterone that he can inject at his discretion and cycle on and off of before the period of random testing starts, that's a pretty big advantage.

As far as the Sonnen Double Leg, I think Anderson's injured rib also impacted his ability to sprawl and fight that off.

Watch "Anderson Silva Like Water" and it documents his life and training before, during and after the Sonnen fight and he did hurt his ribs it seems.

I still want one of those Sonner shirts that is mocking Uncle Sam. Gotta find a picture of it again.

It's on sale. Chael-Sonnen-%22I-Want-You-Anderson-Silva

Im pumped for this fight. Truly hope it delivers..unlike stupid ass boxing. Silva has actually talked trash now for the first time. He might go in there motivated as hell..bad news for Sonnen I thinkbut im hoping for an upset

Anderson Silva is going to murder this guy

UFC is probably praying for a Sonnen upset, if this was WWE Dana would turn on Saturday.

I think Silva will destroy this guy, but if Sonnen some how wins, I'll be the biggest Sonnen fan.

Sonnen is gonna be back on Dan LeBatard is Highly Questionable on ESPN2 tomorrow at 3:30 eastern

It's hyped to the max! This fuckin bout will not go the distance, someone is getting their shit kicked in.

I'm gonna laugh if Sonnen beats on him again only to get choked out in the last round. Would be epically hilarious.

Rofl this guy.

These guys are twins, AND THEY HAD TO SHARE A MERCEDES!

Vince needs to hire this guys writers.

omfg this is like 8hrs away

So ready for this fight.

Sonnen loses points in creativity now that I know dude trained at the WCW Power Plant and wanted to become a pro wrestler. I always thought he was a fighter with pro wrestling level mic skills. Now I know he's just a pro wrestler with a wicked double leg. Always a sad day when heroes are exposed.

I"ll be honest. I've got a goddam chubby right now waiting on this fight.

Chael may have gone to the power plant, but that charisma, and heel ability is purely chael. I would imagine that the instruction he received was 'we'll get out of your way with the microphone, but you need to learn how to take a bump.

Wannabe pro wrestler.

Just ordered it. Firing up the grill. Summer Shandy, Sunset Wheat and Dos Equis in ice.

In Tahoe and no bar is showing this. Kind of pissed. Man.

That's fucking stupid.

Hit me with a stream somebody.

Not very good thus far.

Chad Mendes w/ KO otn sewn up.

Cung lee

Guy is legit considering he's old as fuck.

Stream anyone?

Will forrest submit to strikes again?

Tito got jobbed by judges again.

Forrest is weird.
