All I can say is Chael better beat Anderson, all his talk for months and now this he better wpe the floor with him because he's going to look like a clown if he doesn't to which i don't think he will beat him myself.

The thing about Sonnen's talk is this - anyone whose briefs aren't a size too small isn't bothered by it. Sonnen knows that he's backed himself into a corner, but he's also out there having fun. If he loses a second time, he'll be the first man to come forth and say that Anderson is the real deal, just like he did last time.

Chael can talk up a storm. But he can also fight. And he'll still be the number two MW, even if he loses a second time. I'd not be shocked if Silva submitted him again, but I will have enjoyed the ride. I don't understand why some fans allow themselves to be so tightly wound up by all of this. Chael can be a pretty genuine person. It's not too difficult to spot when he's being himself, and when he's putting on a show for the crowd. He ran his mouth in this Q&A because that's what these fans wanted. Where's the harm in that? He's a fighter, but he's also an entertainer. And as long as people are showing interest, why not feed off of that?

Guaranteed that if Silva wins their rematch, Chael's true colours will show when he bows and humbly declares that Anderson is simply the better man. Not that that'll need to happen ;)

That Mark Hunt fight might have been the best thing to ever happen to Rothwell. He looks great but I still don't know if he can handle Schaub's pace, it's very good for a Heavyweight although the chances of him getting the KO went up even more imo. Looks in great shape.

Also, John Makdessi is an idiot, can't believe he bitched about Hallman not making weight and then goes and misses a week later isn't he a small Lightweight anyway?

Dude, it's as simple as this. Rounds 1 and 2 were close. Round 3, Sonnen blew Bisping out of the water.

Your opinion is your own. But to say that the only clear cut round in that fight didn't go to Sonnen is just plain, old bias. And to be honest, I have no time for that. I gave Mike full respect for bringing the fight. But round 3 speaks louder than a razor close round 1 and 2. There's really no disputing it.

So, yeah. Number 2. Assuming he smokes Vitor, which I suspect he would/will. Granted, I'm also a Vitor fan, so I'd not mind either man walking away with his hand raised.

not gonna get involved with the Bisping/Sonnen battle... its been done. once the score cards read, thats it. and Chael was the better man that night.

but the reason I signed in in the first place was to say this...
to the OP: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :praise01: :thumbsup: :thumb02: I was actually about to post a thread just to ask if anyone knew where I could watch this. I shall rep the hell outta you! THANKS BRO! :happy01:

Have we not learned that records aren't the end-all, be-all?

Men with worse records than Chael's will go down as some of the greatest fighters of all time. When a man hits his prime, he hits his prime. Who cares what Chael's record is outside of the UFC if he can steamroll 99% of the MWs in the top organization of the world? Come on now, boyo. He's lost a few on his way to the top, but history is precisely that.
