You gotta love this guy no matter what the media say about him. He really is the Mohammad Ali of mma. His main problem though is - he is too good. He's so efficient he'll only do as much as he needs to, to win. The only way to get him to preform better, is to throw better guys at him. So I dont think its fair to blame him if there's nobody good enough to push him. I really hope sonnen can give him a good fight, so he shows everyone why hes the best.
Hah, good stuff. I doubt Chael will be intimidated enough to let that happen though. Anderson had more than 5 inches of reach on Maia, the striking was all balanced so heavily in his favor. Maia was smart for not being suckered in like Forest was. Chael is not going to stand there and watch Anderson dance though.
Whenever Anderson fights non-Brazilians he opens up a can of whoop ass, and this time will be no different. He likes to dance with his fellow countrymen and play with them a little bit. However, when he goes against a gringo he doesn't screw around, and Chael is the ultimate gringo. It's gonna be a good fight for sure. We won't see much dancing, and Silva is going to finish Sonnen in the 2nd round. Mark my words.
"Clearly the champ is stressed beyond ALLLL belief!! Chael is REALLY getting to his head! :S"
Forget it, im gonna start posting videos of the great white hype myself since the guys im aiming it at don't have the intelligence to do ANY research before they put their money on chael.
Chael crushed Nate like nobody has, Anderson had his hands full with Nate until he caught him. If you don't think Chael is a legitimate contender, then you're simply oblivious.
Explain to me again how Anderson allowed Maia and Leites to go the distance because he's so smart that he didn't want to dominate his opponents. It's good comic relief.
this video (if current) reeks confidence. I hope the ref for this fight let's Anderson get a few more than usual head strikes in to end Sonnen's 15 minutes of fame and more importantly, as an MMA fighter. Somebody out here on Low Kick had the best description of Chael. "He talks like a nerd with a cold" - priceless!!!
he didn't crush him. he got a great judo throw and submitted him. he's not better at standup. and i'm sure they will fight again. how bout how bad maia got dropped by nate. and look what chael did to nate. you can't use one loss and use that funky mma math to say that means chael is not as good as maia and will get beaten worse.
Theres no use trying to explain things to simple minded Silva fans..... Even though Silva and Sonnen have opposite fighting styles they will continue to think if u finish opponents faster that means they are better, ironically Silva didnt finish Maia while Marquardt KO'd him with one punch but they wont follow their logic and say Marquardt is better then Silva. Nate Marquardt would rather go through a first round tko loss where he was doing fine until getting caught then a grueling 15 minute fight where you are fighting off ur back........Silly Silva fans i hope Chael smashes Silva cuz thats the only way you guys will stfu, probably wont happen but chances are he will give Silva some trouble.
Nothing Chael has said is racist....you idiots just try to come up with anything to hate the guy for disliking Silva. Majority of Silva fans hate on people that dislike or arent fans of Silva so there you go. Your name is HATEOCRACY so i guess its safe to say you hate yourself and anyone that doesnt think the way you do....which is pretty much anyone with a brain
Yea, tito took down rashad like noone has, anyone with an IQ above 70 doesn't think he would win in a rematch. Chael is the number 1 contender..by DEFAULT.
Funny you mention comic relief, the fights were just that, and that's why it's so great even to someone who doesn't like fighting, like the people i show it to. Now explain how he was serious in those fights
No, they weren't comedic fights, they were title fights at the highest level of Anderson's chosen profession. You think they were comedic fights, because you're too dumb to understand the difference between a real MMA bout, and a retarded street-fight. It's the same reason you compare an amatuer being pulled out of retirement, to Chael who earned his shot. You do it because you're stupid. Oxygen deprived at birth is my guess.
maia was there by default. chael earned it by beating marquardt. the fight would have been his but it was too soon and he had to heal up. if you paid attention you'd know they offered chael the silva fight before they gave it to maia.
If they couldnt even offer Anderson a challenge, how are they the "highest level of Andersons profession"?
Anderson was willing to go up 2 weight classes for the "highest level of competition" and he was forced to fight Maia - a guy who earned a title shot off beating Dan Miller - a man nowhere near top contender who is on 3 consecutive loss streak
then maybe he should vacate his belt if he is unhappy with the level of competition there?? Hmmm.......its crazy but it makes absolutely perfect sense!!! wow!!
You know Dana White wont let him do that. Hes said it many of times "He has to clear out everyone in a division before he can move up", he claimed after Belfort the division would be clear, but apparently hes holding off on that fight until after Chael.
Hey come down pony, i'm not the WWE fan here. I just know that certain things don't happen when a fighter is taking a fight seriously.
Spiderman poses, air guitars, hiding behind the ref, doing the run like dan the streetfighter character(whos a joke character btw) stretching DURING the fight, knee punches, slapping the ground....
Even rogan was saying he wasn't taking the fight seriously...but maybe you're deaf and they didn't have captioning, so you might not know. Hey man if you think that was serious, i dunno what else to tell you, but bret hart is still the champ in your world.
Yes, and when Rogan said that, like everyone was, it was a criticism. Do you know what that word means twit? Keep blabbering about WWF, you've got nothing else.
Anderson chose to allow two weak helpless strikers take him the distance. Because he's not an idiot. And, you're really smart too. Like him.
No no ponyboy, smart fighters would have dived into the guard trying to finish the fight, because the object of a fight is NOT to win, it's to entertain idiots who want blood!
Remember your illiterate blabbering about strawmen? Your comment there was another example, of your many. Get a dictionary or just try not to use words that you don't understand.
Muffin did you rate me weak? I thought people only did that when they can't handle what the other person is saying. Atleast...that's what you claimed. Did you completely give up posting ontopic or something? You can't just recycle insults at will, you have to actually make a point.
Me feeb? Yeah I did. And if you had the reading comprehension of an orangutan you'd understand that I've made comments about people who click weak INSTEAD of responding. It's a simple and clear and easy to understand distinction, it only escapes you because you're such a... special case.
And to anyone who wants to do some research and has watched or is planning to watch the great white hype, i swear dana has copied this thing perfectly.
The sultan=dana- recognizes that a fight needs to be hyped so that he can cash in on a fighter who makes his opponents look foolish
Roper=Silva- fighter that doesn't take his opponents seriously,overwhelming talent
Cheech=Ed soares
shabazz=Vitor belfort- the REAL challenge to the belt
Conklin=sonnen- a fighter who suddenly appears out of NOWHERE and is hyped up to be a threat to the champ, and people by into it based on prejudice and not actual facts.
Still making that hilariously retarded comparison? You must be a race obsessed dumb-ass or something.
Chael has had many pro fights, and has worked his way up the ladder. You think he came out of nowhere because you don't watch anything but WWF. Just because you're an idiot who only just heard about Sonnen the other day, doesn't mean other people are somehow surprised by his imaginary sudden appearance.
Do you see that there's a difference? Are you just pretending to be retarded or is it genuine?
Happy 13th bday ponyboy. Once again, i'm sure everyone can understand that but you. the downside of you posting in here is that it's unlikely your comments will be erased if you want to post offtopic BS to boost your postcount.
No idea what my post count is, or where to look that up feeb. But, thanks for the random braindead gibberish, your specialty. At least you've highlighted your retardation here by posting that laughable zero-merit comparison.
I'm starting to think that maybe you are genuinely dumb enough to think that it's a reasonable comparison. All you do is explain that you're ignorant and that you think Sonnen just appeared out of nowhere. There's no basis for the comparison. No half intelligent person would make the comparison
Um...yea ok, dude. What you see here is the difference between a miserable republican like Chael who probably sits around and grinds his teeth about race , money, religion etc. while anderson is dancing around and couldn't care less. BTW enjoy using that n word online, I guess its the only place you can huh?
What I think would be pretty funny, would be if Anderson came out and then "moon walked" away from Sonnen as he (Sonnen) was either setting up or shooting in; just to see the look on Chael's face. It would be pretty funny and I'm sure the fans would go nuts.
...after which, I'd like to see the dancing stop and an actual fight, happen.
if you notice, if spider fights a non-brazilian fighter he finishes the fighter and almost killed them...but if spider faces a brazilian fighter spider tends to be playful not not finish then as TKO / KO
the only submission Silva has ever used and is capable of is Triangle choke (against some asian dude) and a rear naked choke(Hendo). I dont see Silva getting Chaels back, so if i were to guess Sonnen loses by Triangle which is his kryptonite. Other then that Sonnen will win via decision
Yeah. Right. Because Chael can get him to the ground without taking any big hits, and he could just LnP on someone who is better at BJJ than he is for 5 rounds.
Hendo took him down without taking too many big hits? then he stood up with Silva cuz he wanted to knock him out and got floored then choked. Chael doesnt practice BJJ,or so he claims...so hes training mostly wrestling so i wouldnt doubt Chael could take him down. Also Chael doesnt LnP.....the guy is always working and throwing punches, go watch his fights my friend cuz this LnP you speak of doesnt go with Chael. I hope he actually does LnP Silva for a decision just to see you Silva fans get mad =]
Chael Sonnen and LnP dont go together at all.....Seriously that term is being coined around too much.....anyone that doesnt stand up is a LnP these days..... the fruitcakes that constantly bring that up should go watch K-1, and nothing but that
So much arguing. God I can't wait for this fight. I'm pulling for Chael. And I know he can take him down if he doesn't get ko'd first. I'm just glad there's someone that can make silva fight. If Silva doesn't finish this fight, he will lose. That's why they call it the biggest test. That's why there's a lotta hype on Sonnen. Jeez, it's not the great white hype. That is funny though. If Silva can knock him out then sure, he's still great and he's the champ. But the whole point of the promoting so much and the way they talk about Chael being dangerous is cuz his style will force Silva to try and finish. Whether it's a ko or a submission. Anderson will not have the option of playing with him. Chael only fights one way, relentless. That's why he's got my respect, and deserves a lot of it. He's not gonna come into this fight already beaten and terrified like so many of Silva's opponents.
Are you people sonnen lover, or just Silva haters,because i been on LOWKICK for a while & chael have NEVER been a factor on this site, but now after 2 months of trash talk he's "THE MAN"
Ive been disliking Silva for a while now. The way he carries himself around like hes the most respectful guy in the world and how his antics in the cage with the taunts and giving a "helping hand" to a grounded opponent out of pity is beyond reason. Sonnen is the first guy to speak his mind about what he thinks about Silva, and how hes been saying Silva doesnt respect the fans is true, which Silva displayed in Abu Dhabi...well anyway people woke up from the nuthugging and realized Silva really is a punk.....Great fighter but hes a douche
oh but i didnt even answer ur question sorry. Theres a lot of people that like Sonnen cuz hes Silva's opponent. But there are many who just like him because of all the funny crap hes been saying. I like him because hes tough as nails, just goes out there and is always working in peoples guards. Last but not least hes the most honest fighter in MMA, doesnt sugarcoat stuff, just openly says it
Comments
he's gonna dance all over chael
yea he's gonna crack chael with the stanky leg
You gotta love this guy no matter what the media say about him. He really is the Mohammad Ali of mma. His main problem though is - he is too good. He's so efficient he'll only do as much as he needs to, to win. The only way to get him to preform better, is to throw better guys at him. So I dont think its fair to blame him if there's nobody good enough to push him. I really hope sonnen can give him a good fight, so he shows everyone why hes the best.
Could not agree more with you Azzer12. this is funny as sh*t!!
UFC really should have had Anderson Silva do "Dancing With the Stars" ... he would have won it for sure.
I really hope Anderson beats Chael so hard he becomes a DEMOCRAT!
There are some serious republicans in here.... sorry I thought it was funny Mohawk.
Hah, good stuff. I doubt Chael will be intimidated enough to let that happen though. Anderson had more than 5 inches of reach on Maia, the striking was all balanced so heavily in his favor. Maia was smart for not being suckered in like Forest was. Chael is not going to stand there and watch Anderson dance though.

There, that's EXACTLY what's happening.

So, AS tko Marquadt in the 1st round and you're impressed by Sonnens humping on Marquadt for 3 rounds?
Chael crushed Nate like nobody has?
Chael couldnt even finish Nate.
At the end of Silva vs Marquardt, Nate was in the fetal position curled up like a child getting jumped at middle school.
How is Chael not being able to finish him, "crushing him like nobody has"?
I swear I dont know why I respond to you, such an obvious troll lol
Is delusional just like his stupid ass. If you're trying 2 down play Silva so much, why keep bringing up fights HE DIDNT LOSE
Theres no use trying to explain things to simple minded Silva fans..... Even though Silva and Sonnen have opposite fighting styles they will continue to think if u finish opponents faster that means they are better, ironically Silva didnt finish Maia while Marquardt KO'd him with one punch but they wont follow their logic and say Marquardt is better then Silva.

Let me guess.....your black?????
Certainly
Who was talking about chael before he started bashing anderson?
lol funny how ston3 is arguing that Chael did not come out of nowhere.
Dana White himself said in the pre-fight hype that "Chael came out of nowhere".
Uh, was that random jumble of words there supposed to distract from how obviously retarded your stupid comparison is?

Stoney, I dont want to hear one more word about someone disagreeing with me. You and Madness have single handedly blown up this thread.
got sand in your vaj?
Madnessstill VS ston3pony...J Silva and Dana, please make this fight happen.
no please, ive already seen too many dry humping matchs
@UG and colktfo
Hilarious!!! That made for some entertaining reading though! Btw there are some lowkick matchups I would definitely like to see.
Um...yea ok, dude. What you see here is the difference between a miserable republican like Chael who probably sits around and grinds his teeth about race , money, religion etc. while anderson is dancing around and couldn't care less. BTW enjoy using that n word online, I guess its the only place you can huh?
*Sorry, my post was a response to a racist one made earlier, its been removed, *
"america got talent" auditions are here!
What I think would be pretty funny, would be if Anderson came out and then "moon walked" away from Sonnen as he (Sonnen) was either setting up or shooting in; just to see the look on Chael's face. It would be pretty funny and I'm sure the fans would go nuts.
...after which, I'd like to see the dancing stop and an actual fight, happen.
im actually going to buy ufc 117 so if this mother****er starts to dance again im gonna kill him
if you notice, if spider fights a non-brazilian fighter he finishes the fighter and almost killed them...but if spider faces a brazilian fighter spider tends to be playful not not finish then as TKO / KO
With this moves he definetley gona get kicked out of UFC or Sonnen gona rape him ot the ground.I dont see Anderson KO'ing Sonnen
sonnen will rape silva
Silva's ego is so inflated, it's beyond belief and why the f*ck does he sound like a 13 yr old boy?
It makes his opponents feel all the more humiliated. How would you feel if a 13 year old boy beat the s**t out of you while dancing?
^ Madness and pony thread. Good stuff haha.
hahahahha .Awesome...
F that. I hope he makes a huge statement in this fight. Take Sonnen's arm home with him.
the only submission Silva has ever used and is capable of is Triangle choke (against some asian dude) and a rear naked choke(Hendo). I dont see Silva getting Chaels back, so if i were to guess Sonnen loses by Triangle which is his kryptonite. Other then that Sonnen will win via decision
Yeah. Right. Because Chael can get him to the ground without taking any big hits, and he could just LnP on someone who is better at BJJ than he is for 5 rounds.
Suuuuure.
Yea I don't see Chael doing much when he takes Silva to the ground.
Hendo took him down without taking too many big hits? then he stood up with Silva cuz he wanted to knock him out and got floored then choked. Chael doesnt practice BJJ,or so he claims...so hes training mostly wrestling so i wouldnt doubt Chael could take him down. Also Chael doesnt LnP.....the guy is always working and throwing punches, go watch his fights my friend cuz this LnP you speak of doesnt go with Chael. I hope he actually does LnP Silva for a decision just to see you Silva fans get mad =]
I think he meant Chael can only LnP because once those arms start flailing, he will get submitted....
Chael Sonnen and LnP dont go together at all.....Seriously that term is being coined around too much.....anyone that doesnt stand up is a LnP these days..... the fruitcakes that constantly bring that up should go watch K-1, and nothing but that
PONY VS MADNESS ...I'd pay for that fight. lol
I bet the house house on Pony via TKO despite Madnesss summoning his retard powers
So much arguing. God I can't wait for this fight. I'm pulling for Chael. And I know he can take him down if he doesn't get ko'd first. I'm just glad there's someone that can make silva fight.
