Silva acted like a clown in that staredown...... Chael has really got to him

This isn't Tyson vs Lewis, what would be pathetic is having a fight with with a guy you know will be broken up when you have 25 mins in the ring alone with him in a few days.

Spot on Ajax.

Anderson seems way out of character. Chael has really gotten under his skin. This isn't selling the fight, this is real hostility on Anderson's side. I didn't think Chael would get to him so badly. It adds an interesting dimension to the fight. Enraged Anderson could just up and wipe him out, or it could negatively impact his fight. It's sure as hell going to be one of the most intense fights the UFC has ever seen. The pre-fight atmosphere is going to be electrifying.

Great buildup. Can't wait til fightnight

one thing Sonnen has going for him is a solid bucket, he can take some shots because against Anderson you will get hit and Sonnen will not do a Forrest. Sonnen will have to weather many storms in order to implement his style.

I still think Sonnen takes this.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. How important is Sonnen's chin in this fight?

Pretty much it seems like he has an iron chin. And even when he gets hurt, he has that wrestler's toughness where his instinct isn't to cover up or retreat, but to fight back, dive for a leg and smother the attacker.

I still think he could certainly just get lit up (he is fighting Anderson Fucking Silva

) but he's going to be tougher to beat with one significant strike than the vast majority of Anderson's opponents.

thats my point exactly, why bother with all that when hes gonna get chael on saturday

it kind of reminded me when someone is acting the big man while he has a load of guys standing between him and his foe, funny thing is there was only one dude holding him back

i dont care what anyone says, silva is ruffled

Deckard · 07-04-2012, 07:30 AM

Guaranteed Chale will get at least tko'ed within two rounds. IF THAT!

davidwatts · 07-04-2012, 07:32 AM

the ref is gonna have to drag silva off of sonnen at the end of the fight, i think he'll just keep hitting him even when the fights over.

i presume you're all talking about the weigh-ins? haven't seen them, probably won't be shown.

no hes not

if you compare how silva was in the staredown against belfort now that was a man that exuded confidence, what happened at the presser was something totally different

I only based it on that little gif and didnt see the whole thing. From that gif who knows if He was just acting or whatever the fuck hes doing. Like you said, He goes towards Chael but hes not wholly committed.

its hard to tell, when silva faced up to belfort i knew there and then silva was on a mission, wasnt convinced from the chael presser

the gif is very decieving, i was on sherdog and the place was going nuts about how silva had just gone crazy on chael i was expecting some serious rage from him, then i watched the vid and was in shock at what i saw

even when anderson went over to chael when he was standing at the podium with the mic on it he seemed to be hesitant and acting a bit funny

weigh in should be good
