    To knock him out?

    “This isn’t going to be a war,” Sonnen said of the bout with Silva. “It’s going to be a one-sided pounding and I’m swinging the hammer.”

    .” He belittled the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu that Silva earned under the Nogueira brothers, Antonio Rodrigo and Antonio Rogerio.

    “He has a black belt from the Nogueira brothers, but to me, a black belt from the Nogueira brothers is like a free toy in a Happy Meal.

    Doesnt matter.

    Heres a fact: Sonnen will take him down at will.

    Heres an opinion: Silva may sub Sonnen.

    it's possible but for the past couple of fights when silva is fighting a submission artist. He usually keep the fight standing. I just hope he doesn't clown around this time and KTFO sonnen.

    Sonnen is not a submission artist, he will take you down and he has an aggressive top game. He was manhandling a huge MW in Nate, Silva would be easy.

    There's nothing easy about fighting silva. Even travis lutter who took silva down and gave him a good fight end up getting submitted. Silva's bjj is very good so i expect him to be comfortable on the ground.

    I do hope this could be a ground game cuz if this end up being a striker match then silva might clown around for 5 rounds again.

    **** it.. ufc has cut many fighter for not performing well according to white. Silva has bored as to death at least 3 times by clowning around..
    cote-leites-maia....

    White should do what he said.. put silva on the undercard instead of being a main event even though he is a champion. Maybe this time silva would try to fight instead of clowning around.

    I have seen a lot of boxing and a fair amount of MMA.
    Anderson Silva is the most naturally skilled fighter I have EVER seen that includes Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather, Fedor Emelianenko and George St. Pierre.

    Its too bad that he is so bored with the UFC. He needs a big challenge.

    Instead of making a James Toney vs Randy Couture match he should have matched Silva vs Toney in an octogon boxing match first.
     
  13. I don't think Anderson will be affected by Sonnen's trash talk at all. Sonnen is a piece of ****. His trash talking consists of, "A champion doesn't wear pink and wear his hat sideways. He wouldn't last two minutes walking down the street in my neighborhood (West Linn, Oregon :rofl).

    That being said....IF Sonnen can get him down, Silva MIGHT be in for some trouble. Unfortunately, it appears Sonnen is the only legitimate contest for Silva. After that, I don't see anybody standing a chance, or deserving of a title shot.

    I think he will. Anderson is set in his ways he refuses to come to a guy and not be the counter striker. Chael is a guy who brings the fight right to you even in the standup he likes to put pressure on his guy and throw hard punches. Anderson if gave the time will exploit the wholes Chael has in his game and destroy him like he did better strikers like Hendo, Rich, Forrest and Marquardt.
