Is this the biggest fight of Anderson's MMA career?

:huh....Haggis, it's hard not to agree with : Henderson is prolly one of the 3 best win of Anderson career...

It's not the kind of thing you can disagree on...

It's easy to agree with you when you say something consistent and that make some kind on sens.

Again I wish you could just stop thinking like a boxing fan...highest selling PPV doesn't mean it's the most important fight of Anderson career...highest PPV means ****. Highest PPV means more marketing, wich IMO kills the sport because, most of the time, more marketing means more WWE like stuff.

Wich is exactly the case in this fight. It's a WWE wet dream...

And he got the back of Henderson and won via RNC if my memory is correct....so yes, the Henderson win was a more dominant then the Sonnen win

What is your point ?:huh
Have you seen me arguing against the rematch ?

The way I understand the construction of your argument is that you still try to say that the first Sonnen win was the more significant of his career and again I can't agree with that...

Who cares how the fight went and how he won...Sonnen is still a B class fighter and until the rematch happen the only thing that we can objectively say is that MAYBE, it was a bad night for Anderson...

If the same thing happen for the rematch then maybe you will have an argument, but it's not the case now.

Yep, and Serra still won via TKO against GSP...:roll:
Anything can happen in MMA

.....:huh

I'm not talking about a better fight but a better win Haggis...2 completely different thing. Yes the Hunt fight would be better that is a no brainer....but Mir would still be a better win for all the reason you keep reminding me that Hunt doesn't deserve a shot at the title...

You do realize that there is a difference between genuinely asking a question and to repeat the same thing over and over again ad noseum ?

I mean, I think my previous post were very clear but you still want to repeat your argument even though I understand perfectly what you meant and I didn't agree with most of it.

It's nice to share different POV I agree with you, but in my definition of argument at least there is some kind of acknowledgement of each other argument and then we can move on to the next level...but it's never seem to be the case here...or is it only a feeling I have ?

There is

No there isn't....you have a case for the most dramatic win but Sonnen will never be Anderson Silva best win, forget about that, it's an insult to everyone else. It's an insult to Maia !

I think the general consensus is : Sonnen is far from being the best win of Anderson Silva, it may be the most dramatic, but not the most significant or important or anything like that. :good

 

:good

 

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) Yes

4) If Fedor can lose 3 in a row, beat 3 bums in a row and still be considered the ATG.. Hell ****in' yeah.

5) If Silva TKO1, his legacy is sealed.

 

1) Is this the biggest fight of Anderson's career?


It's the biggest fight in the history of MMA in my opinion, so yes.

2) Was Sonnen 1 his greatest victory?

No, i would personally say Hendo.


3) Is Chael Sonnen Anderson's greatest rival in his career?

Yes.


4) If he loses a 5-0 decision, does it do much harm to Silva'
s legacy? Or is he too old for it to matter?

It harms it no question, but he still goes down as the GOAT in my opinion.


5) If he wins by KO in the 1st, does it do much good for Silva's legacy? Or is Sonnen too **** of an opponent for it to matter?

Anyone who dominates Anderson Silva for 5 rounds is not a "**** fighter" a first round KO would be a huge win for Silva.

 

why does haggis ride sonnens nuts so much, he is a bellend of the highest order who seems to think he is a WWE star

 

1. No
2. No Hendo was
3. If he wasnt using and Silva not hurting then i would have said yes.
4. He is already on the downslide as one could see in the Okami fight before the punches didnt even touch him now they did even tho he rolled with them.
5. Sonnen is pretty **** to begin with

 

Silva beat Hendo so easy. It breaks my hea heaheahea heaheahea heaheaheaheahea heart hes not given himself tougher challengers throughout his career

Content to pit his other worldly skills with one of the weakest divisions around

Pele called him a coward. He's no BJ or Fedor that's for sure


Sonnen's ****ed. They should allow him to juice if they want this fight to have even the slightest chance of being a little bit competitive

 

Well Beouche you're in luck, they are allowing him to juice.

And Haggis' question(s) reminds me of something GSP said when I interviewed him last week. I asked him what to him was his greatest, most memorable fight and he said it was the second Matt Serra fight. Now no one would claim that Matt Serra is the greatest fighter GSP has defeated...hell you could make a very convincing case that he doesn't really belong in the top five...but the closet you get to a defining moment in GSP's career is in that match.

Silva vs. Sonnen II is like that, right down to the meaning of the match being tied up in the result of the first and the fallout that followed. Silva rescuing the fight showed he wasn't a frontrunner but could battle adversary and was the beginning of a renewed run of excellence. Sonnen's trashtalking and erratic behaviour has clearly angered Silva and helped make this the most anticipated fight of Silva's career in the USA. But don't let that obscure the fact that Sonnen has not done the things in his career that warrant him being ranked above Henderson, Franklin, Griffin or Belfort.

Its also worth being careful not to be too Anglo-centric in all this. When Silva retires as a mainstream celebrity in Brazil with a lifetime of blue chip products to endorse and a chain of martial arts schools to run its not going to be Chael Sonnen him and his management should be thanking. It'll be Vitor Belfort.

Henderson was a career defining win for Spider.

But Sonnen II will have the biggest build-up to an MMA fight in the history of the sport. Hopefully the contest will live up to the hype.

 

seriously ?
