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

)

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.

Jail Sonnen for the win!

Chael is intelligent and very brash ... and I dig it.

Guy's like the Honey Badger of MMA.

My best wishes to the man come Saturday night.

Nice comparison, seems accurate.
Chael gives no fucks.

Im rooting for Chael, but not holding my breath.
That said, its only a matter of time until Silva goes down.

Correct, 3 days and 8 hrs to be more precise.

Silva will finish him brutally

if Silva does lose, which I hope he does. If he loses there will be some lame excuse such as age or granted a injury.

Hopefully Chael "The Goat" Sonnen will win!

Will be a fight not to be missed!

Alex23 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2012, 01:59:49 PM »

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

King Shizzo · « **Reply #22 on:** July 04, 2012, 02:53:22 PM »

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.
