Wow, 3 days away from one of the biggest MMA fights in history and this thread is all but dead

Well, I'm hype enough for all of you closet MMA fans

HYYYYYPE!


For real!

 

Go Chael...I mean Anderson, I mean Chael...Damn it! lol Chael is gunna get subbed

 

I thought Silva would pretty much woop Chael, then while watching Randy Couture's UFC148 discussion, I started thinking that Silva could have actually lost the 1st match...so this is turning out to be exciting.

...what will definitely be interesting to see is how Silva will take out his aggression out in this match

 

If the the VF evo tourney ends early enough I am going to try and go to this live.

 

The first fight seemed very scripted, Anderson will smash him. Chael. He couldn't even defeat Bisping for F's sake.

 

In awesome news. Not only am I going to EVO, but I just bought tickets to UFC 148. Don't ask how much I paid for them. Whoohoo

 

$500?

 

I'm crazy but not that crazy

 

ah ok, lol.

 

That event is sold out so $500 wouldn't be all that crazy... man, that is so freaking awesome that you're going that I can't even hate
Seriously, congrats! Post some pics

 

Pic, video, and a herpes test from a ring girl!

 

Fackin awesome.

 

Wasn't that knee illegal? Lol. And I only saw a small clip of the finish, but it seemed like the ref stopped it a little early.

 

My view at the fight... side note Brazillians are crazy, but fun as all hell

 

Content did not work!
The knee was 120534% legal. it his Chael's chest.

 

Meh. Silva did not "change the face of MMA" as he said he would do. Sonnen made a mistake, tripped and Silva capitalized on a mistake. Silva won, but was exposed for a second time.

Opponents are afraid of Silva "the Spider"'s BJJ and ground game based on years old performance and choose to stand with him. Silva then pulls the "Matrix dodge" and counter-hits to victory. Sonnen was having none of it, and during the Matrix dodge, put a double on Silva and put his ass on the mat (both in this fight and in 2010). Sonnen then exposed to the world that Silva's 37 year old BJJ is fraud.

Sonnen is an NCAA wrestling champ, but Sonnen is no spring chicken himself, and his spinning back elbow put him off balance. Had Sonnen stuck to his game of putting Silva on his back and working the submission (he had 2 or 3 in the first round), Sonnen could have beat "the Spider". That said, younger fighters need to study this tape and the 2010 tape, and see that Silva is exposed.
