f**k Anderson Silva.

[ej_EXtasy]

By far the most dissapointing ufc I've watched. Not just Silva but pretty much most of the fights were lame. I hate Silva with a passion. I would love to see GSP tear him apart. After the fights me and my buddy boxed in 40 degree weather. I'm about 5'11" 200lbs and he's like 6'5" 300lbs. Wish we could've video taped it, after about 4 minutes he was done, I think a couple more hits would've knocked him out.

GSP will get in his face and knock him out, especially if silva gets as cocky again. But yea my friends dad bart lane trains fighters for lower devisions, fighters going into pride and whatnot, we have mats and s**t and spar in his shed, b-b-b-b-b-balla! free training ftw!

silva is a douche. it was funny to watch at times but it did make a mockery of ufc. Exactly what Dana said in the first interview linked earlier in this thread "I'd rather have Silva knock him out than toy with him." It wasn't right what silva did. With that said, silva is a monster when he wants to be. Silva vs Gsp would be an interesting fight... Gsp will take silva to the floor so silva had better start working on either his takedown defense (good luck with that) or he had better figure out how he is going to beat Gsp on the floor.

hey nice rice - are you even old enough to drive that civic that you claim to have in your garage?

While I'd love to rip on him for his 'car', I'd appreciate it if this stayed on topic. Unlike most threads in the OT area, this has been pretty mannered and actual discussion.

orly?

YA RLY

And to answer your earlier question, O'blarneys in Lacey charges $5, so I usually end up there. If not, I usually just read about the fight after.

 

[knightxrider1]

mma-core.com i watch all the s**t i didnt watch there. for boxing as well.

the whole night was sad, the bj was boring, the matt fight was boring and the silva fight was ridiculous.

like dana said, show boating is one thing, doing what he did is over the top. definitely not the best PFP fighter, he'll get an off night one day and he'll pay for acting like a fool in front of the right guy.

 

[House Special]

I didn't see the fight so I can't comment on the fight itself. I am a fan of Anderson Silva and I do feel he is a great fighter. Whatever he did in the octagon to piss people off is irrelevant. There are people out there that can beat him, and he has been beaten before. This won't be his last fight and naysayers will see. There are a ton of new mma fans here who don't much of s**t and there are others who know what they're talking about. I won't discredit a person off of one fight, but I don't condone stupid s**t either. He's still badass.

Just my 2cents.

I just watched the fight. It was like watching a cat toy with a ball of yarn....then it got silly. There may be another day where he is defeated and then the haters will be even more gratified. He'll still be good. Some will say it's classless but for Maia's sake I'd rather not see him knocked out. I have a heart

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Kick Silva out, and make him go to WWE where his acting skills can be put to good use

 

[House Special]

where he can come out to music of his choice, with a lightshow and occasional fireworks.....and even have his own t-shirts and action figures.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

At least then he can act however he wants.

You won’t see Anderson Silva in a super-fight against GSP or even another jump to light heavyweight anytime soon. Anderson Silva’s next fight will be a UFC middleweight title defense and it won’t be against Vitor Belfort no matter how bad he wants it. Dana White revealed Chael Sonnen is next for Anderson Silva on Rome is Burning earlier today.

“We’ll find out in his next fight if I got through to him or not. He’s got a real tough fight coming up because his next fight is going to be against Chael Sonnen. And Chael Sonnen is one of these guys who’s not going to lay back, not going to do what these other guys did. When he’s been in this position when these types of fights have happened, he’s been against real good jiu jitsu guys, guys who want to get the fight to the ground. Well, Chael Sonnen is going to want to take this fight to the ground, but he’s going to double-leg him and bring him down.”

That’s not all Dana had to say about Anderson on ESPN. Dana claims he won’t hesitate to cut Anderson if he ever pulls that crap in the Octagon again.

“Personally I think he was embarrassed by what he did that night,” White said. “Maybe he had a mental breakdown — I don’t know what happened in the ring. All I can say is I know his next opponent isn’t going to be a guy who’s going to lay back. Chael Sonnen is going to take it to him, and hopefully we never see that again. If we do, I’ll tell you this: If he ever acts like that again in the ring, I will cut him. I don’t care if he’s the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, I don’t care if he is the middleweight champion. I will cut him, absolutely.”

It’s pretty clear where Dana White stands on the subject, but what about Chael Sonnen? He’s seen the fight, or at least as much as he could get through knowing the outcome. What if Anderson “disrespects” him?

Look, I’m not a gang banger. I don’t talk about “respect.” That term is for street thugs, not me…I expect him to hit me, and I expect it to hurt. I just don’t care.

Classic Chael Sonnen… Chael says you can expect one thing when he steps in the cage with Anderson…”A fight. There is nothing in my background to make you think I will run, dance, or hide.”

As for when and where this middleweight showdown will occur, nothing is official yet, but MMA Junkie is hearing it could go down at UFC 117 on August 7 in Salt Lake City.

Update: More must-read comments from Chael Sonnen from interview on Hardcore Sports Radio with Mauro Ranallo (.mp3) via BE:

It was hard to watch…I didn’t watch the whole thing, but I tried. I saw the beginning and I saw the end. I was having plenty of conversations during it, I’m in the same boat as the rest of the world. Who cares? Nobody cares about Anderson Silva.

He talked about retiring and nobody cared. He talked about going heavyweight and nobody cared. Now he talks about going to 205, and nobody cares! I did an autograph signing with Anderson Silva, there was a line around the building to get to my room. You could have heard a rat piss on cotton in his room! Nobody was in there. Nobody cares about Anderson Silva, it’s the hardest sell in the world. Nobody shows up to see him. If BJ Penn wasn’t on that card that building’s empty Saturday night.

I’ve stuck my finger in this guy’s chest for 3 and a half years and he’s fought everyone in the world that isn’t named Chael Sonnen. I can’t tell you what a nuisance he is. This isn’t like some exciting thing to get to fight him, it’s just truly an annoyance, and I’m looking forward to it being over with just so I can move on and be done with the jerk.

[Mr. Jollypants]

I might watch that fight just to see Anderson get his ass kicked.

 

[JDMJNKY]

He's still the s**t!

 

[JiuJitsu_greg]

Sonnen has little to no chance vs Anderson. I think the Ufc is getting what they deserve. When your star fighter tells you he only want big legendary fights you don't make him fight thales leitas and Patrick Cote. They need to match him against bigger names.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

If he wants what he wants, then he should start his own company doing this. He's under contract, and he'll do what they want.

 

[House Special]

i got a nice box of kleenex for you

 

[House Special]

i think that's the objective that his last I don't remember how many opponents had. Chael Sonnen is no different.

 

[bizoneoeh]

they should rename the UFC to WWF

[JiuJitsu_greg]

He is under contract to show for the fight and to win. He did both, During the fight the fighter doesn't have to please anyone. They always have the choice to release anderson if they no linger want him around. That is zuffas choice. The promotion and fighter should work together to have a great event. They should have gave silva Liddell at 205 as opposed to Maia at 185.
