My granny punches harder than chael
Yeah, but we all know she on steroids
Quick, all people cheering for chael bet ALL your money on this one! Don't want to hear from you again
Kinda ironic that the video is sponsored by "CheaterVille: Don't go down without a fight!" and that perfectly describes Silva Sonnen 1.
Anderson Silva
2.Round
Gogoplata!
Silva will take the fight. He's had too much time to adapt to Sonnen's game.
Randy picked Chael to win so it's probably a lock that Anderson is winning
I think you're right, Silva has a bigger edge this time around.
Silva 1st rd. tko
Silva by way of brutal KO in the first round... i can't believe how many ignorant fools really think Chael stands a chance of repeating his 2010 performance against an injured Silva. Not to make any excuses for Silva but at the end of the day he caught Chael and whatever hole there was in Silva's game (talking wrestling) if u really think Silva didn't "correct" that flaw after 1.5 year, you're as stupid as Chael for signing on the dotted line for the rematch in Brazil....
Also i got surprise on the though of the fighters on this match..
no one really says what they really think but just pose with a "nice answer"..
Anderson is going to "DANCE" front of Chael!!
Silva dances in front of Chael, then Silva gets taken down.
Its weird how people get ****y just because they back the best striker in MMA.
Styles make fights and Sonnen is Silva's kryptonite...at least the closest someone can be to that.
Silva by the death of a thousand cuts (lynch mob )
Silva by DQ due to a rampaging brazilian mob
This is the first time a ufc fighter is going to be lowered from the ceiling in a protective harness, because there is no way in hell Chael's walking through the crowd.
Sonnen by getting triangle choked and for some reason still claiming victory...again.
I think a lot the fighters want Anderson to lose because of their own records in the UFC. It would make him more human and make their legacies look better. Then they can say ''see, he lost too.''. I don't think there is a single contender or former champ who wants to admit anyone else as the best ever and will usually point the finger at the number 2 or 3 guy as the best ever to keep things contraversial.
Couldn't agree more.
Silva already lost before. 4 times.
In otherwords, he has a ton of haters.
Silva to lose by way of bad karma for having so many fans who think making jokes about lynching people is acceptable.
Go ahead, 'weak' me and increase Anderson's karmic burden!
Respect. Chael says ridiculous things about most fighters and everybody thinks he's funny. Silva does most of his talking in the cage, and everybody hated him. Bias...
Everyone hated Silva? When did that happen?
I wish all silvas fans could just beat down his haters...which is really the only reason anyone would ever become a sonnen "fan"
Only 39 "weaks"? That's a bit disappointing. The Spider needs more karmic debt!
Im so burn out on this crap, I dont care who wins. I dont care for either of them. And if the crowd actually attacks Chael, I would say, stay away from that uncivilized group.
got 2 go with AS. CS`s only chance is to play it safe and LnP.
On another note Rampage was as funny as ever. lol
Sonnen better perform a lot better against Silva than he did against Bisping to have any chance of winning.
In all fairness, if there is a skill set that Bisping might have better than Silva, it is his wrestling. Who would've thought before the Sonnen fight that they'd look about even in that category?
Chael throws pillows and barely marked up Andersons face last fight despite having every opportunity to do it. So that tells me his only chance to win is to hold Anderson on the ground for 5 rounds and play safe which is the least entertaining outcome I can think of.
Go Silva!
Cant opent the video at work...what is Randy Saying? Hope he is not picking Anderson....
Randy would never go against a wrestler, so I hope I answered your question.
Cung Le needs to get a frigging clue, has no idea who Paulo Filho is. WTF?
Yep, the 'Wrestlers' are picking Anderson to lose to Chael, big surprise. I have Anderson Via TKO - round 2
Anderson Silva 3rd round TKO elbow's
1; Anderson is going to destroy Sonnen in under two rounds.
2; Has anyone else noticed that Kongo looks like a college professor outside of the cage/gym.
