Gonna be a good'un.

 

[bchampy]

Yes sir.

I'm leaving a good friend's wedding just to see this fight. While the actual fight will probably take place after the reception is over (its a night wedding, romantic ain't it?) I'm not risking it.

Two dudes beating the shit out of each other > Love

Now, with the rematch just a few days away, Silva decides to play timid once more at the press conference until the staredown which resulted in Silva getting rather close to Sonnen and apparently whispering, “You’re gonna die”, in Chael’s ear.

To neg, or not to neg...

man, i'm getting pumped for this shit....cant wait

 

[757Hokie83]

the more preview/countdown stuff i watch, the more i am leaning towards rooting for Sonnen....yeah he's cocky...but he did beat the shit out of Silva for 4.5 rounds, he has earned the right to be cocky.

 

[757Hokie83]

with all the hype about Silva/Sonnen, i forgot Griffin/Ortiz was the same night

Used to be a fan, but in his last couple fights he's been a little bitch...

 

[bchampy]

Sonnen takes it beyond cocky though. Insulting your opponents family, heritage, etc is more than just hyping the fight.

As in Tito Ortiz?! Guy needs to retire.

????

Knocking out Griffin, Belfort, and Okami is being a little bitch? Not to mention he made them look like they had no business being in the octagon.

Pulling out a win against Sonnen late in the fight is being a little bitch?

People need to get over the Maia fight, that was about 36 numbered UFC cards ago. Silva has made up for that performance and then some.

 

[NDHoosier101]

He got lucky against Sonnen, and I haven't watched him fight since then(the Maia fight), so I'm not over it...only one other time have I saw a fighter run around the ring from his opponent, and that guy has never stepped foot in the octagon again.

That was over two years ago. You're judging a guy based on 1 fight.

Also there was nothing "lucky" about Silva's win against Sonnen. Pulling off a sub like that after getting beat on for 4.5 rounds takes skill.

Here's the Silva-Belfort fight

If you can find the Silva-Griffin and Silva-Okami II fights they are good ones too.

maybe he meant he was lucky to survive long enough to get that submission?
