Title: Chael Sonnen Tribulation thread
Post by: Alex23 on July 04, 2012, 07:24:19 AM
I haven't really followed UFC since 1995.. caught Chael on Rogan's podcast, didn't know much about the guy but sounded like a pretty smart guy, picked up his book and I have to say I'm truly amazed.

Worth listening:


Definitely worth Kindleing that shit, and awesome read:

I'm definitely watching on Saturday, really hope he wins.

Another charismatic lil' mofo is Urijah Faber... seems like a good guy, down to earth with a head on his shoulders. Coincidentally has a book out too (Dana White, 'see what you did there ;D)

He's in Silva's head...that's for sure.  Remains to be seen if this results in Silva hulking up and killing him or coming out and gassing or getting caught by Sonnen early.  Silva could end the fight at any point by KO or sub...Sonnen lacks KO power and mainly has to hope to pin him down and take enough out of him to negate his power and win a decision.  I think Silva will win...but I really admire Sonnen's willingness to call him out.  Sonnen's funny as hell...

This will be a GREAT fight.

I give it to Silva, just based off the fact that he is going into this fight healthy and with more determination that ever to destroy the guy.

I also do think Sonnen is good for the sport, as he brings the level of excitement that makes the wwe fun to watch for kids and developmentally challenged adults alike.

Even if Sonnen loses, he should stick to the UFC and make big on his fame.  He is probably the best draw at the moment, besides Junior Dos Santos.

Just watched the press conference on XBox live. Silva looks worried and uncomfortable.

Let's not forget that he looked like complete shit against Bisping people.  If he fights like that against Silva, he will end up on life support.

 anderson can say he was injuried that last fight all he wants.. but the fact is that sonnen kicked andersons ass all the way top the last round where he screwed up.. but that has to weigh on andersons mind a bit.. that being said..i think anderson is gonna pull this off.. but i said that last time and sonnen was killing him.. dont care who wins but would like to see anderson challenged again

He got a head start on his injury talk this time, he's been talking about a bad shoulder for months now.

Sonnen never complains. A true American with cores values that made this country great.

Silva = opportunistic Macumbeiro who doesn't give two shits about UFC or this country.

Luckily Sonnen wrecked him at the press conference for that illogical behavior. Anderson has nowhere to flee and seeks refugee in the brazilian identity.

My God!  What's with Silva's voice? His voice is higher than getbiggers on a Friday night.  Please don't ever speak again!
Title: Re: Chael Sonnen Tribulation thread
Post by: shootfighter1 on July 06, 2012, 10:57:56 AM
haha, his voice is so high but the dude is so damn tough.  Worse than Tyson.
I think this will be an uphill battle for Chael but his style may be tougher than others for Silva.  No doubt he owned Silva until end of the 4th round last time.  I was shocked watching it.  Chael is a workhorse & his relentless style poses issues for Silva but he really has only 1 way to beat Silva, whereas Silva could beat Chael with a variety of strikes & submissions.

He did kick his ass, but supposedly Silva was complaining about his injury in his "like water" doc before the fight.

Chael already fought his perfect fight (supposedly against an injured Silva) and still lost.  Assuming that Silva is 100% healthy, do you really think he can dominate like that again?

We'll see. Chael has the big psychological advantage thanks to his shit talk and smacking Silva around last time, and I think that will play an important role in this fight.

I just hope it's a good fight.  I am not pulling for either.  Silva has already had the belt for 5+ years and has cemented his hall of fame status.

from years of following mma and talking to different fighters i dont think any fighter ever enters the cage 100% injury free, i remember tito telling me when he fought wanderlie in japan for the ufc lhw title that his foot was fractured. these guys have to train so hard day in and day out that they are gonna be hurt going into a fight, the severity of the injuries can be anything from just plain old banged up toes or fingers to alot worse things like ribs, neck or back injuries. i did hear andersons ribs where banged up before he fought sonnen also, as far as i heard both fighters dont seem to have any major sprains or injuries going into this fight so it should be a great one.

For some reason I just hate Silva and I dont know why. But if anyone is gonna do it, It's Chael. He already made Silva realize he isn't invincible, and I think its really going to bother Silva. He wont be nearly as confident as he normally is. Hopefully it will make timid and scared of Chael, but it may also make him fight smarter. We'll see.

true, i will always be a tito fan but i lost alot of respect for him when he ducked chuck. i remember my buddy,tom defazio who writes for full contact fighter magazine telling me that chuck used to get the better of tito when they trained back in 98-99. tom said he witnessed chuck dropping tito with a bodyshot in training and tito wouldnt get up off the floor and called it a day :o

his last fight with bisping exposed him for the average fighter he is

There are plenty of guys at 185 who could have finished Bisping and done so in a dominating fashion.
