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
