UFC 148: Countdown to Silva-Sonnen 2

[757Hokie83]

As in Tito Ortiz?! Guy needs to retire.

i actually thought he had retired, retired from beating other grown men anyways, i thought he was past that, and into beating on women now

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

At the time of that fight, Sonnen hadn't finished an opponent since Oct 27, 2007.

Thanks for the fight links, I'll watch them. Anyway his taunting and running left a bad taste in my mouth, and he's someone I've started to love to hate, every sport needs someone like that, and now that I feel bad for Lesner there is is noone else...

Oh wow. Chael: "I've got one tremendous problem... I am exactly 20 pounds overweight. That gives me about 27 hours to lose 20 pounds."

Building in an excuse for if/when the Spider floors his ass in round 1?

now, i'm not saying its not true, but do we know where the quote was taken from? the tweeter doesnt say

Chael: "I pooped in my bed last night...on purpose"

Anderson: "I cleaned Chael's bed....with my tongue"

it's in quotes, so they must have said it.

 

[757Hokie83]

anyone know for sure what happens if he doesnt make weight? i've been looking around and a few things i've seen have said if it is a title fight, the belt is no longer on the line, but they still fight...others have said the title fights simply dont take place if a fighter cant make weight...anyone know?

He says it in an interview. I can look up the video of him saying it

I haven't looked it up but I'm pretty sure they can still fight if the fighter who made weight still wants to but it's no longer a title fight.
