The UFC will return to FOX on Saturday night wen they present UFC on FOX 2 from Chicago’s United Center and while the main event between Rashad Evans and Phil Davis has been highly anticipated, it seems the co-main event may be more anticipated. 

The co-main event will feature middleweight fighter Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping squaring off for a shot at Anderson Silva’s UFC Middleweight crown. To the chagrin of some and he relief to others, the trash talk between the two never reached the epic proportions that some had expected.  That’s not to say the two did not have their exchanges. In fact, the two went back and forth today in a brief interview with Fuel TV’s Ariel Helwani.

    Chael looks REALLY PISSED in this interview he looks like he was to knock Bisping out right now and right there. Yeah him saying he is undefeated and undisputed doesn't really make sense now does it?

    I like Chael's antics, but he's overdoing them of late and comes across as a real lunatic. That said, he'll be dead serious tonight to smother Bisping and win a new shot at his arche-nemesis, Da spider Silver...

    Sonnen is on a mission, period. I have never seen a fighter look so intense. He wants Silva, and Bisping is not going to stop that from happening.

    Again CageRage you say this with such certainty? What makes you think Bisping is not as, if not more motivated for this fight? I suspect Sonnen may win via decision, but I wouldn't put money on it.

    I gotta say, normally Chael destroys people in the trash talkking, but I feel Bisping has got the better of him this time. Chael just sounds mental, claiming to be undefeated and the champion! Gonna be a good fight

    The best of him?? Bisping replied to every word of Chael, while Chael was not being so personal he was more relaxed. I think Bisping got really angry and nervous

    Oh look, Slick Dick came out of the wood work to defend his Brit-Boy-Buddy Bisping. Bisping sounds just as ignorant as he always does, is never witty or funny, and gets the best of no-one in these verbal exchanges.

    I dont mean in just this 1 video, I mean generally throughout the build up to this fight. Chael has come across as a lunatic, while Bisping has been relatively funny and confident in his remarks. imo

    Bisping IS nervous, and for a good reason.

    I agree with slickrick. Chael has gone off the deep end as of late. His banter was tolerable before, but the whole fake belt thing was ridiculous. To claim to be undefeated and undisputed champion, even as a joke, is just asinine at this point. He has the spotlight. No need for these childish tirades.

    Yup but Nick.mich is right. Chael is spouting his attempt at crazy banter and Bisping is responding to each thing Sonnen says. Chael doesn't care what Bisping says but Bisping is hanging on every word Chael says. Bisping seems anxious. Chael could care less. I hope he isn't looking past Bisping.

    Good point Bruce. If Chael is only doing this to get into Bispings head, he is succeding. I dont like either of them. The best outcome of this would be a vicious KO by either one, then the winner gets thrashed by Anderson.

    And that's why Chael is so smart this time. He is distracting Bisping with goofy things to think about has hasn't made it personal like Rivera did. That fired Bisping up. Bisping likes to get fired up with the attacks on him and Sonnen hasn't given him any of that. Just distractions

    Chael said he didn't watch pro wrestling when he was younger, he might not have, but he has defintely stolen all his little catchprases from pro wrestling and just tweaked them a little bit.

    Chael starts trash talking strong in the interview, but then fades badly .



    Bisping's court jester/fool comment scores big and the judges award him the split decision.

    Yeh court jester did score big with me too but as each day goes by and another line comes out of Chael Sonnen's mouth with his ability to really back it up, I move steps closer toward being on the Chael bandwagon.... not completely there but after bisping fight I think I will.



    Sonnen FTW
