Except we have completely different outlooks on what happened in their previous fight. I saw Anderson Silva get his ass beat for 23minutes and then pull of a miracle sub. YES Anderson would want to avoid that and keep his legacy intact. listen to how you praised him. Thats certainly worth keeping.
And btw i said "Im starting to think" because i wasnt that serious with the comment. Otherwise i would have said that i believe Anderson did it to get disqualified.

Above all things in this argument is the most important thing everyone is overlooking. Think of yourselves in Anderson's shoes. He has an enormous amount of pressure on himself just for being who he is, then you have a guy who finally brought a fight too you the first time around disrespect everything you grow up around after you bowed to him after the match. Silva is human. Alot of people make mistakes when their emotions get the best of them. It wasn't a great thing to do but to say he's trying to be DQ'd because of it or he should be cut/fined are being very untrue their own ability to do wrong.

You are crying over a side comment way more then you should. Cant believe you are so upset about it.
I was half joking with the comment. I dont actually think Anderson wants to get himself disqualified or he WOULD have.

I used it as an example. My entire point in that post is about something much bigger then that comment. Maybe that part went over your head, if so I apologize and would gladly clear it up with you over PM if you need so. |

Somebody's getting awfully hostile over me pointing out something I disagree with. It's your opinion, your entitled to it and I'm just as entitled to mine.
Anyway, people really like to forget how respectful Anderson was after the first fight with Chael. He bowed, hugged, and talked him up in his post fight interview. The trash talk could have stopped there (though I understand it is for promotional purposes) but Chael actually got even more personal with it and attacked Silva's wife. That's why I don't see why anyone else here wouldn't feel as pissed as Anderson clearly is. If anyone were to do that around my wife I'd probably be very upset myself. Especially since Chael really can't know her very well. |

yeah im the hostile one...
Chael Sonnen was very respectful to Anderson after the fight also. Did you already forget the stuff he said in the post fight conference???

You arnt allowed to strike someone in any way. ESPECIALLY because Anderson knows Chael is going to be bound by the rules to not strike him back. Had Chael been allowed to strike Anderson back then id be perfectly fine with what Anderson did. But dont do a cheap shot knowing the guy wont do anything back due to the situation. Thats down right bitch shit.
Id have more respect for Anderson had he done it away from the UFC where Chael can retaliate.

If anything this just further proves how pissed off Anderson really is and how much he really wants to murder Sonnen. It's easy for us to sit here and say he deserves a fine and it's a bitch move yada yada yada...but at the end of the day how would one of us react if in the same situation dealing with as much pressure? Considering all of the circumstances and the history these guys have, I am really not too surprised or upset that it happened. I doubt there will be a fine for this. |

Even so, he got right back to his old ways shortly thereafter. Saying good things about somebody and then turning around to talk even more s**t about them later doesn't make you a respectable person. It makes you two-faced. I like Chael, but if I were put in Anderson's position I would be chomping at the bit to do something about it. |

Im not upset or surprised it just makes me think less of Anderson. Its easy to cheap shot someone knowing you are going to be protected right after. Thats the part i find pathetic and thats why i think Anderson should be fined. Chael was struck then having no way to defend himself against it EXCEPT risking the fight falling out by swinging at Anderson. Even then the people were in there so fast that Chael would not have had a chance to swing. So i do believe cheap shotting a (IN THIS SITUATION) defenseless guy is fine worthy.

Anderson Silva shortly after also talked crap about chael and his TRT problem. Same with Ed Soares.
Chael was certainly disrespectful and way more then Anderson BUT it doesnt give Anderson the right to shoulder shrug someone in the jaw when they are not going to be in a position to defend themselves.
