Vinny Magalhaes guarantees a submission victory for Chael Sonnen against Anderson Silva
Posted on June 1, 2012, 02:56 PM by Mike SearsonVinny Magalhães has been helping Chael Sonnen on his jujitsu techniques prior to Sonnen's rematch against Anderson Silva at UFC 148 which takes place on July 7, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Magalhães believes Sonnen will submit Silva in the fight. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, the former M-1 champion said: "I am guaranteeing a submission. Chael is going to do what he did in their first fight, but this time he is going to finish."
The ever-outspoken Sonnen has in the past,openly made fun of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. According to Magalhães via fightlinker.com: "Chael makes fun of a lot of things. But he picks stuff up really fast. And the stuff that we worked on, I can guarantee you if he has the chance to use it in the fight, he will do it. If it’s a submission, if it’s a guard pass, whatever, I guarantee you he can do it. If he gets the chance, he can catch Anderson with something. Chael’s a pretty good grappler. Even though he’s made mistakes in his fights, overall Chael’s a good grappler. He just makes mistakes in submission defense, so pretty much that’s what we worked on. And of course some attacks, control, some of that basic stuff. Basically what we worked on was top game. We did work some submission defense, of course. But the best thing is not to get caught in a submission in the first place. If you’re just working submission defense, you have to first be in a submission. You don’t want to get that far. A lot of people ask me when they hear I was training Chael, ‘Why don’t you just work triangle defense?’ No! For me to teach you triangle defense, first I have to teach you how to be in a triangle. And I don’t want him to be there in the first place.”
When asked about Anderson Silva’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu credentials, Magalhães had this to say via BJPenn.com: “Here’s another point. A lot of people hype Anderson’s Jiu-Jitsu game because he got his black belt from the Nogueiras. But not every black belt is a high-level black belt. You just happened to have got a black belt under that guy. It’s not like he has great sweeps. It’s not like he has great submissions. How many submissions has he gotten? He submitted Henderson. He submitted Chael; that’s two guys. And he submitted Travis Lutter. So that’s three guys. He’s even got a couple submission losses. They may be eight years ago, but they’re still losses. So I feel like this whole thing about Anderson being a black belt doesn’t make much of a difference in the fight. I’m not saying he’s not good, he just might not be as good as people think he is.”
Magalhães made it very clear that Sonnen paid him handsomely for his training: “I don’t want to talk about amounts, because my management was the one dealing with the whole money situation. But he did pay more than my management asked. We asked for a certain amount, and he came up with much more. We asked for an amount for two weeks of training, and he came up with an amount which would’ve entitled him to four weeks of training. So how can I not respect the guy? He paid me double. On Chael’s check … you know how they have a line for what the check is for? He wrote ‘Defeat Silva.’ So I kept a copy, because I thought that was pretty funny.”

Great, cash those checks while the guy shits on your country. Douche.
How's he shitting on his country?
+1 Evan
The UFC is about being the best in the world, it isnt the phucking Olympics douchebag. I dont think Ive ever once heard an American praising the USA or getting all offended about the USA. Its called little mind complex. Hopefully you guys can get past that some decade.
"I dont think Ive ever once heard an American praising the USA or getting all offended about the USA."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Really? This is one of the most nationalistic countries in the world.
Fans yes, fighters no. Give me an example instead of messing up the page with over run laughing type.
Chael Sonnen.
LIke I said, give me an example of where he says "Americas the best, Im doing this for all the American fans, America deserves respect ect.....
Is Chael allowed to write cheques yet? or are his accounts still froze?
Helping someone from another country makes him a douche? Are you American and supporting a victory Anderson and not Chael? I guess that makes you a double douche then, yes?
you idiotic fool Vinny is an American.. and besides even if he was from Brazil do you see Americans getting worked up when black house brings in American wrestlers.. of course not because its not logical fighters trainer every where thats why its MIXED Martial arts
crispy, he has a citizenship, but was born in Brazil i believe, I could be way wrong. But im pretty sure thats the case
**** you Vinny.
Aww did you get your tiny feelings hurt?
Going to be hard for Chael to submit The Champ when he's knocked out.
Chael fans REACT 2 ME!!!
Trolling doesn't usually envolve begging.
1) The word is " involve' 2) I'm just having a lil laugh while chill'n @ work 3) As a lowkick staff member, what's up with those sassy ass comments you're always making? Damn contributor be cool, try not to come off as an uptight sassy male.
Matter of fact meet me @ Hooters around 11 in Vegas after Chael gets knocked out, drinks on me & that goes 4 anybody who is going to be in The V
I was making fun of the way you trolled people, and begged them to react to you. Not calling you a troll in any particular way.
Thank you for the spelling correction though. I'm at work, and have no immediate spell check through this program. Couldn't edit it after I saw it either. Had no idea I was being "sassy" though hahaha.
I would gladly. Just on the other end of the country. Have fun. Hooters + Vegas = epic.
I'll be your huckleberry.
Hateocracy, ill take you up on those drinks one of these days, im sure you really arent as bad as you portray yourself to be on here.
It's a sport, not a war. I'm an American but I'm behind Machida, Dos Santos, Fedor and so on
I'm a skinny white man and bob sapp is my idol. jk
Im guessing your a fat sumo wrestler? jk
Vinny is still mad at Nog "and Co" since his days in TUF i guess.
Maybe hes telling the truth as he sees it, that ever cross your mind? Probably not.
Why would anybody weak the first comment? Dude is training the same asshole whose been making nasty degrading comments about his people & the country he's from. Dude is a BONAFIDE SELL-OUT.
I called this a long time ago, Sonnen by Arm Triangle
I was actually thinking "Sonnen's has a good chance to transition to an arm triangle" while reading the article. He has great top control and is quite strong. If he submits Silva, I would bet on an arm triangle.
Really don't see it. Yes Silva has been subbed before but in this fight his submission grappling skills are like 10x better than Sonnen's.
That being said, Barboza has a lot better striking than Jamie Varner...
Maybe Barboza has better striking, but not striking defense? I've noticed that Barboza prefers a slower striking game, Jamie pressed the action hard and Barboza did not handle the pressure well.
Vinny Magalhaes is either mentally ill or he just needs to put the bong down as quickly as he can because he is starting to talk out of his A hole right now. Wow - I needed that laugh. Anderson Silva will put that loser to sleep in round 2.
Yeah, Anderson only submitted 3 people, thats cuz he knocked the f*ck outta most of his opponents first... Chael on the other hand, was on drugs and couldn't finish the fight in 5 rounds.
Chael should be getting his pink belt from Vinny really soon.
How many people have knocked out Chael? How many times has Anderson knocked out Chael?
"They maybe eight years ago but they were still losses". Sorry Vinny, but I think you're not helping you're own argument here.
So Chael by flying heel hook?
Don't discount Silva's submission of Lutter, Vinny. Michael-Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter.
Travis Lutter fight showed that a great grappler can out grapple Anderson. Lutter submitted to the strikes not the triangle. If only TL actually got himself in shape for that fight, it would have been a different story. Anderson's strength is his striking and stamina, his wrestling is O.K. and submission game is decent but nothing to brag about.
Can Vinny guarantee Chael doesn't get KO'd in the 1st?
sonnen submitting silva....
HA HA!!!
really funny...
"first I have to teach you how to be in a triangle" damn Vinny Magalhaes really know how to be in armbar... Someone remember abu dhabi?
Chael decided to pay Vinny double the amount he asked ?
At this rate, Chael is going to have alot of new brazilian friends.
Sonnen has zero chance at a sub victory. If he wins via sub I will stop watching MMA because it is clearly rigged.
If Sonnen wins Im sure a lot oi Silva fans will hide.
Not if Sonnen wins, only if he wins via sub. It is possible that he could lay and pray to victory.
Sonnen will overextend himself and be caught with a shot like Forrest never saw.
The follow up will be epic; the only question that remains is will Sonnen run out of the cage like a little bitch or stand and bow to the victor like a man.
