Anderson Silva says Chael Sonnen should shut up and train, wrestles with Indigenous Tribesmen

With the long awaited rematch now set, it appears UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva has had enough talking out of Chael Sonnen.

Speaking during an appearance on Fuel TV's "UFC Tonight" show, Silva offered his adversary a word of advice ahead of their showdown, suggesting that Sonnen spends more time training and less time hurling insults.

"Chael talks too much," said Silva. "Chael needs to train. No more talk, train. Going to Brazil? Big problem."

Sonnen's trash-talking campaign predates their initial meeting back at UFC 117. Utilizing a wrestling-heavy gameplan, the Team Quest fighter dominated the Brazilian from top control for much of the five-round affair, only to be submitted with a hailmary triangle-choke in the waning moments of the bout.

Although an instant rematch had been penciled in following Sonnen's oh-so-close defeat, a series of mishaps involving both a failed drug test and legal troubles forced the Oregon native out of action for more than a year.

Interestingly enough, following Silva's unsolicited words of wisdom, a video showing "The Spider" engaging in some unconventional training methods of his own has surfaced. Featured on the TV Globo program "Esporte Espetacular," the Middleweight champ exchanges combat tactics with the indigenous peoples of Brazil:

    If Anderson improves his wrestling, Chael will be in trouble...

    Anderson will never out wrestle Chael. His striking and submissions are what he needs to sharpen up, if anything. Of course, the Thai Plum didn't work last time, why should anything be different this time?

    I think he did this video to give arguments to Chael, so Chael starts to Make fun of brazilian ppl again ,(sayin that they are not civilized etc.) ,And when he will get to brazil ,he will get assault even before the fight. and Anderson wont even have to fight him

    I got a better chance of getting an up-kick KO in UFC 09 than Chael does of beating Anderson in Brazil.

    Training never had much to do with his success, that's why his motto is "If you're not cheating, you're not trying"



    And his t-shirt should be "cheating,"because you just suck without it"

    It's when someone jumps on a hype train purely because they think that it's cool to do, and start giving a fighter compliments THEY DON'T DESERVE, or abilities THEY DON'T HAVE, and look at things from a skewed and completely unrealistic point of view.



    Training really didn't have anything to do with his success. Omg his most impressive night "just happened" to be when his testosterone levels were 4 times normal? Who's dumb enough to forget that besides a nuthugger?



    Sorry if you don't like being called that hunter, but i bet i hate having to deal with people deserving of that name even more.

    you dont have to deal with them, you obligate yourself to do so, when all actuality you are a nuthugger to certain fighters as well, its hypocrisy. you are a nuthating fan as well if that makes sense.

    No retard. Noone needs to nuthug fighters that are actually good, that's why you're butthurt and couldn't actually name anyone.

    I mean - schedule it for an "actual" date, and make it sooner than this summer. Neither of these guys need that much more time and the UFC has been putting out a lot of lackluster cards of late anyways.

    I honestly believe Silva will hit Chael this time, hard, and unlike Bisping who Chael said rocked him, Anderson's blow will K.O. him.

    I'm a big Chael fan but I believe you are correct. I don't know why Silva didn't hit him the first time around but I think Chael will get knocked senseless. I hope I wrong but I doubt it.

    Chael effectivley neutralized Anderson for 4.5 rds in the first fight. Chael is a wrestler, Anderson is a striker. Anderson gets taken down and it will be a repeat of the first fight. Hopefully Chael will learn how to be more than a 1 dimensional fighter this time around and submit him. All in all though Chael is the stronger man, and if he gets the TD's - and we all know he will - he may end up taking this.

    Chael outstruck Anderson 89-29 in their first fight. That's an astounding 50 more punches! Let's not count Chael out here. He's a tough dude with some serious ability. And yes, talking smack is ONE ability, but he can actually back up his words much of the time.

    It's really amazing how good one guy can look when the other guy is letting himself get hit, i mean look at nick diaz.



    But,chael has been attracting the "brainy"posters ever since fedor lost his nuthugger charm.
