Soares: Anderson Silva "doesn't feel" Chael Sonnen deserves a rematch

I don't see many options for Silva, he's cleared out the MW now regardless of how the fight went with Chael he beat him. PI just hope Dana gives us some super fights. Silva v Shogun is way more appealing than Silva v GSP.

No Shogun is too big, Silva rather fight a small guy like GSP.



Ed.



I dont know why this guy is talking, he's making his client look bad by reporting his opinion. He's gonna have to fight Chael, Dana is not going to let that big money opportunity fly away just because Silva feels Chael doesn't deserve it. Hey, He beat you up for five rounds minus two minutes dude, he deserves it !!!! I will wish that you pull a nice sub like last time but man up or GOAT my ass !!

exactly , he wants to be best fighter yet he is scared to fight Chael Sonnen? many may not like GSP anymore because he has not finish a few of his last fights.

But you will never see GSP ducking fighters or making excuses about being hurt during a fight specially such a dumb excuse as being sore! being sore doesnt even mean you have bruises never mind a ****ing broke bone or a real injury.

imagine what people would say about GSP not wanting to fight Bj in a rematch in case Bj beats Diaz hu? GSP already beat BJ up and down until the point BJ quit , yet i bet everything i got GSP would fight Bj again with out bitching about it or any other guy he already beat like Fitch or Koscheck.

and Silva wants the Can of Bisping? he wants GSP a Welterweight?

imagine GSP wanting to fight Frankie Edgar instead someone his own size or at leats his own division?

Your joking right???

ok?! wait wait wait......I ask the guy above me if he's joking bc of his comment that everybody weaked and the mine gets weaked lol? It's offical this should be the haters_ball.com or Nutswiggners.com thats all everyone does. GTFOH....hahahaha take that to the bank

The difference between a ChaelRoid fan & Stevie Wonder is that Mr. Wonder has been blind since birth.



CAN YOU SMEEEELL WHAT THE ROIDS IS COOKING......people's chump

hey Anderson dont be scaired homie!!

Yeah anderson don't be scared...wait you beat sonnen already?

And he was on Roids?

What?

So since he was on roids he must have beat you in the first or second round right?? Sorry for your loss...



Wait ..what??? He punched you over 200 times and he still couldn't finish the fight???

Haha that IS funny!



Sonnen don't be bitter homie!

reading the morons on this site, is like taking a poll at a wwe event. too stupid to understand and too ignorant to care. silva hasn't avoided anyone. sonnen is not a worthy opponent, only by talk. sonnen is a two time cheat, liar, bigot, hypocrite, choke artist, and convicted felon. the fact that he cheated and couldn't finish the fight from his best position after he got a lucky strike in on a guy with bruised ribs is not making his case any better. then he gets choked out, which proves way more skill then a lucky punch at the end of a fight. he did that hurt and after four rds of mostly being defending from the bottom. obviously, the morons don't train so they don't understand how difficult that is, but really at no point in their life has their opinion ever mattered. just for crossing the line, silva should make him fight on his terms. in brazil and after he fights gsp, conduit, mayhem, or jones. silva is just shitting on chael in public by not responding, because it's funny and sonnen gets mad, because like a little bitchy **** that he is, he gets upset when no one pays attention to him. sonnen's record is terrible and when you look at how bad he has choked his entire life, you realize that all he has is ignorant and hype talk. his best fight to date is one where he choked. too funny.

I don't think there's anyone left in the division to pose a challenge to Silva. The GSP thing in my opinion doesn't make sense(smaller guy in a lower division). The only thing that makes sense TO ME is the Chael rematch and some top 205 pounders. However, I think they may be playing mind games with Chael. The fight is inevitable and I think they just want to make it happen on the champion's terms and time. That's cool and all, but I'd prefer to hear him say how gungho he is about kicking Chael's a$$ and shutting him up once and for all WHEN OR IF HE EARNS HIS REMATCH ;-) .... That fight will be a classic regardless of what happens though.

Silva vs GSP is the best fight to do at the moment...reasons:



1. GSP walks around at 190 and is a great wrestler.

2. Anderson has fought at Welterweight therefore a catchweight of 177.5/180 would make sense.

3. The fans have wanted to see this for years.

4. Both fighters have completely cleared their divisions.



Also this "lowkickdodger" beneath me needs to know that Chael was getting busted up from the bottom by a way superior fighter - end of.

Thank God it doesn't matter what the fighter OR "manager" feels regarding who to fight next.



And since when did Anderson stop talking and let another man continuously talk for him? He used to release statements through other translators, and his english is good enough for rebuttal now, Ed Soares is trash and dampers Anderson's potential pr tremendously.

Silva just keeps proving to be a coward. who's path has been build over the years in a weak division, years go by and still nothing not a single sign of him moving to a real division like the LHW's.

Lets see you Silva prove yourself yo be as great as you claim to be

fight Shogun, fight Rampage , Fight Rashad , fight Jones

He will continue to duck until he retires! He knows how close he was to losing the belt last time and wants no part of the beat down that he will get!! Silva and his fans can make all the excuses they want but it's funny how I'm a huge GSP fan and wants nothin more than true tests for him like a true champ should! Silva wants nothin to do with Bones or Sonnen and everybody knows why.

what if he knocks out sonnen? then will you racist dumb asses say he's the best? no, you'll make up some other reason, or that he is ducking someone else. gsp ducked fitch, but silva has fought everyone and beat them. fitch hasn't lost since his decision loss to gsp. sonnen hasn't even fought a main contender in the weight class. he should have to fight vitor before silva. I would love to see vitor put sonnen in a coma or worse like he did to linland his criminal buttbuddy

Of any fight for AS I think it should be Chael. Chael is the only one who made you go, "oh s*it, Silva is gonna lose!" But we all know how the ended. But still, I think in all honesty Chael is the numero uno contender.



Best thing about this article is Soares saying he is, "just expressing what Anderson has talked to me about." So lets get this GSP v AS super-fight going.

Silva and Mayweather must have learned how to duck tough opponents from the same coach. I guess there's more of a crossover between MMA and boxing after all.

More like MMA and pro wrestling with the half-wits not recognizing that chael cheated last time and calling him "peoples champ"

I STILL find it sad that people buy into his WWE styled BS. So much for the "MMA fans are smarter than Pro wrestling fans" idea.

they aren't fans of mma, they're racists trying to find a douche bag in this sport to latch onto.

they're actually called bigots.

Doesn't deserve a rematch my A**. I smell a scaredy cat. Silva tasted that Sonnen strength and doesn't want another A** pounding, because he knows this time he won't get so lucky.



So, who is more deserving of a title shot, Mr. Silva?? Bisping? Munoz? I don't think so....

Are you talking about his testosterone elevated strength he lied about getting cleared for? Fans love to forget about the drugs.

Yea yea. It's really hard to be civil when you have to keep arguing with brainiacs like you who don't realize steroids make a difference. Or who don't remember how terrified silva was to fight belfort,who's MUCH more of an actual threat,or henderson who was an ACTUAL olympic wrestler, or marquardt who's far more unpredictable.



Next time chael will show up juiced,to fight a healthy silva who no longer wants to win only by BJJ submission. There's a reason none of you point out how badly chael got destroyed by demian maia who you now pretend is a joke.

Does sonnen get to use a bat in the next fight??or brass knuckles??? Maybe both?? I mean we all know he doesn't do anything in life legitlly , mma, real estate ,even when he was money laundering he cheated by ratting out the others involved. Wow. Only sonnen can make an illegal act even worse

And those pillow punches he delivered to silva were in no way close to finishing him, even with his drug ridden body.

The Chael Sonnen's fans believe he was drowsy during the fight, not on ROIDS.

just make the fight happen, f*ck it... just let Anderson be 100% and hope Chael Sonnen won't take any drugs next time, then there should'nt be any excuses.

even though I think only fights that come to a close DECISION should deserve a rematch, like Shogun and Machida, Penn and Edgar, which was not the case for Sonnen, he had the chance to FINISH the fight for 4 AND A HALF ROUNDS, and he got submitted...



haha.

Chael has a free pass to take drugs. If you abuse steroids enough your testicles stop making testosterone and you have to do replacement therapy to be "safe", so now because he abused it so badly he's got a free pass to use them for the rest of his career.

The kick in the ass there: Chael now has Low T. That means TRT is SUPPOSED supplement his inability to produce testosterone. There is a HUGE variability in how much testosterone any given person produces. Some people produce WAY more than others. So the limits by Athletic Commissions have to take into account that some guys are just natural testosterone producing freaks of nature.



Now if a guy who has unacceptably low testosterone production from his own body shows up for a fight with more testosterone than one of those freak of nature types, what does that tell you about how Chael is using the "treatment"? Hope to hell they address that in some way shape of fashion BEFORE any rematch is agreed to. Chael should not be walking into the fight a tiny fraction below the legal limit, he should be walking in at the median average for his age or lower.

I was hoping Silva wouldn't give Chael another shot. Nothing will piss Sonnen off more than getting his challenge denied. He had his chance & blew it worse than anyone else ever has. After tapping that close to winning the belt, Sonnen should have left town then.

MAMBA24ILL Your wrong about how pissed Chael would be if Silva denies him a fight. Sonnen is trying to prove 2 things that he can beat Anderson and that he is a coward. (Not my opinion stating Chael's opinion) This fight will more than likely happen so as much as Silva denies it, that will play into Sonnens hands better. The best thing Anderson could have done in this whole thing was just say yeah I'll fight him again right away.

Doesn't matter what anderson says.....unless you're a pro-wrestling fan.

It'll play into Chael's hands again up until he losses again. Then it's back to where he started in the land of irrelevance before he started talking about Silva to get attention.

Stann who??? Are you talking about the fellow who defeated???? Then he beat???? before beating??????

Say what? You can't be serious. I hope Chael doesn't get the shot. He doesn't deserve it. Like the guy said somewhere up there, rematches are for close decisions. It sucks that people can talk their way to a title shot. Chael didn't prove anything except the fact that he can hold Silva down. He didn't dominate for 4 and a half rounds like everyone said. 200+ strikes and no finish. If a grown man hits me that many times, I should be in a casket or at the very least in the hospital in a coma. The win was clear. AS by sub. If and when Chael loses again, I'm sure he will try to talk himself into another title shot. And when AS finally retires, Chael will probably go up in weight and talk himself into a title shot with Bones. Sonnen doesn't want to climb the ladder like everyone else. He just wants as many shots he can get against the best so he can say he did something. I'm sure he can beat one of the champs if he fights them 10 times right?

@japanegro - just stop talking kid, do you realise how bad your making yourself look? there's no sense in what you say from start to finish, he held him down and didn't dominate for four and a half rounds, LMFAO.......COME ON!!! DID YOU SEE THIS FIGHT??????...

silva is scared he should be chael will kick his ass and not get cought again

First of all it's "caught'. Are you talking about getting caught juicing up again?

Ed Soares seriously needs to stop talking for Anderson about the Sonnen rematch

Starting to think soares is working like a reverse hype man, trying to make people want to see the fight more by continuously implying that the fight may not happen

Ed Soares makes his fighter look like a pussy ; & he doesnt want him to fight top guys so he doesnt get beat and blow his legacy.

I mean, look, is anyone surprised. This guy will never stop ducking me. He ducked me for four years, I layed a beating on him for 23 minutes, he tapped me out for 23 seconds and now he's still ducking me. IF he can beat me why is he afraid?

Just like with everyone else he fought, he won. Ryo Chonen should be trying to pick a fight with AS. Not Chael. Right? I mean if he doesn't want to fight Chael, he's scared? I mean I could go up to Anderson and say fight me. And then say if you say you can beat me, why won't you fight me. It's a retarded argument. Chael laid on Anderson. He didn't lay a beating on him. It would take the bell for Chael to beat him. He would never finish him.

@japanegro - have you got shit for brains or what?? did you even see the fight? cos it doesn't sound like it to me, Sonnen beat the shit out of Silva for four and a half rounds, he hardly "lay" on him at all, he knocked Silva on his ass multiple times, he outstruck him by something like 4 to 1, he took him down at will, come on man get real, lol.....Oh, can i have some of whatever it is your smoking? cos it must be damn good!!!..

Chael beat Anderson so bad that the ref stopped the fight.... when Chael had his face between Anderson's thighs....

You can really see how dumb people are for hating on brock for COMING from WWE,but not for buddy because he's trying to lower the IQ of this sport to that level.



He already beat hm...then we found out that he was hit 200+ times without even bleeding,was fighting injured,wanted to get a ground submission, and was up against a guy who pumped 4 times a real mans testosterone level into himself just to stand a chance.



You really need to see a professional if you think that's scary compared to fighting legitimate champions who win fairly.

Theres no rationale for believing Silva is ducking Chael at all apart from Sonnens take on it.Only a delusional one-eyed naysayer would think Silvas afraid of Sonnen especially when he could have in reality killed Chael and the fact that Cheal quit.A miss is as good as a mile and miss Chael did.

Silva is not afraid of him. He's probably just getting back at Chael for all the smack he's been talking.

How do you say "PUSSY" in brazillian...



Unfortunately Anderson & Ed Sores dont have a word out of their coward mouths to say about who they will fight next.



I hope the more they talk, the more they will piss off Dana and the UFC.

That rematch might come alot faster than we think.....

"Pussy" as in pussy cat is "Bichano" - yup, that fits.



"Pussy" as in vagina is "Xana" - yup, that fits.



Another slang for vagina is "Boceta" - yup

LOL, you do realize that "getting your ass kicked" in laymen's terms should involve at least winning the fight, right?



There's a very good reason 8 seconds with his legs around Sonnen's neck trumps the living hell outa 300 punches: If it had been a life or death street fight, Chael Sonnen's dead right now and Anderson Silva isn't.



I think the fight happens. I do think that Anderson might be pushing for more money (Tito Ortiz made more money in his last fight than Anderson did against Okami, how screwed up is THAT??) I think more than anything Anderson Silva is sitting back and laughing at Sonnen making an idiot of himself. Odds are, Anderson has every intention of fighting Sonnen. Seriously, name for me a list of people Anderson has EVER dodged! And for source material, the words of a raving lunatic name Chael Sonnen are not credible proof and a damned thing, so do a little research and come back with an intelligent answer.



And please note, Brazilian fighters are seriously badass. They don't tell people they were injured until after the fight in almost all cases because if it leaks that they're injured the fight might be cancelled. Think about that. They conceal injury because they want to fight so bad. That is what we call a true warrior!

Chael doesn't deserve a rematch yet Rich Franklin did--someone Silva beat the hell out of in their first fight. Right. Who's fooling who?

Ya, if Chael dont deserve the fight.... Who does ?



Everyone says he shouldent get a rematch... Well then who the hell should ? What MW deserves a title shot ?



I cant think of anyone else other then Chael... Untill Bisping vs Miller and Munoz vs Leben play out... Chael is the only guy ready to go !

Rich was an actual champion though, and i bet rich could hurt silva if he hit him over 100 times. And rich doesnt need to take steroids to be equal to a real man....and he doesn't need an army of keyboard warriors to get attention either.

Rich Franklin lost his belt to Silva and Cheatael Sonnen is just "a guy" who lost to Silva. That's the difference.

End of the day, NOBODY at Middleweight really deserves it, so you gotta go with what you have. Chael is a complete prick, but he's in the best position to fight Anderson.



But no, after cheating, losing anyways, and then winning one fight, that isn't enough to say Chael DESERVES the rematch. Only reason he gets it is because he's the best bad option they have.

i hope Dana make this fight!!!!!

they are ducking Chael!!for sure!

Chael almost put Anderson away. He dominated every round. Chael is the only guy in the UFC to ever give Silva trouble, and a lot of it! Excuses about waiting for the sub don't mean sh*t!, Chael still very nearly won the fight.



Your goddam right Chael deserves the rematch!!, and the fans want to see it.

did you guys see this:



Chael Sonnen to host 2011 World MMA Awards, ceremony airs on FSN and FUEL TV



http://mmajunkie.com/news/25755/chael-sonnen-to-host-2011-world-mma-awards-ceremony-airs-on-fsn-and-fuel-tv.mma



What is he gonna do when Anderson wins an award?

I think we'll get at least a staredown from Anderson if he goes up on stage, that for sure is going to heat things up and get the fight more publicity, I think we should know by then if the fight is gonna happen.

Really you guys make me laugh saying Anderson is Ducking Chael just to piss Chael off I would say know and laugh at him every time I see his Disrepcetful butt he beat him already what dose he have to prove this was not the only fight won this way and everybody was cool with it Chael him self is look for a payday. And for the record I would love to see this fight again

Nevertheless it will be fun seeing feather fisted Chael trying his limited best and falling short again,only this time in far quicker time-perhaps 2nd round.He had a good crack first time out but his best wasnt good enough as it wont be a second time around.It aint fun when you dont have Silva-like talent.

if it went to decision i think he would deserve a rematch, but the dude got finished doesnt matter if its in the first round or the 5th the guy got finished

They need to get a number one contender. Four MW have lost to Silva in the last year. they should have a match to determine who's the #1 contender. They all lost , so how is one loser better than another and if so prove it In the ring

Let the sealing begin

I think you do a tournament

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/885883-with-ufc-136-edgar-vs-maynard-iii-done-its-time-for-a-tournament

The weaking

Read Doofus' words carefully- he's not saying they'd take the fight; he never comes out and says it. It think they'll duck him if they can.

Silva is not doing himself, or his legacy, any favours by trying to get out of this rematch. At the end of the day Dana White made it crystal clear BEFORE the Sonnen vs Stann match up that the winner would be declared the number one contender and be the next in line for a shot at the MW belt. Why didn't they speak up then, i'll tell you why, because they thought Sonnen was likely to lose to Brian Stann, that's why. The way Stann was running through the MW division they figured Stann would beat Sonnen......WRONG! Sonnen deserves another shot at the belt on two counts, he is the only guy to EVER beat down Silva' in such dominant fashion, for 95% of that fight, also, he beat Stann for the number one contender spot, end of subject really. Since when is it up to Silva and his ****head manager, Ed "shittalker" Soares, to decide who is the number one contender and who is or isn't deserving of a shot at the belt. I REALLY do hope that Dana puts his foot down here and tells Silva he doesn't have a choice because HE decides who gets a shot at whatever belt, not any fighter, nor any manager, and if he wont take the fight then vacate the belt. I bet Dana WILL make him take this fight, and so he should. As the champion, he's supposed to fight all comers, not pick his opponents, he's going to lose a lot of fans this way......

I tried to tell you this on the wall. Beating someone on the scorecards for 4 rounds does not earn you a rematch. Yes Chael maybe the biggest threat to Silva's title but guess what? If they fight again and AS beats Chael, Chael will still be the biggest threat to Anderson's title! Does that mean he gets to fight him over and over?! Yea he beat Anderson for 4 rounds but that's what you want him to hang his hat on? Really?! All the Sonnen supporters have for an argument is he beat AS for 4 rounds and there is no one else. But... everyone ignores the fact that it wasn't a controversial decision or quick stoppage. It was a sub! Chael tapped! Said uncle! Whatever you want to say! The only reason he stays near that title shot is his mouth! The winner of Brock and Overeem gets a title shot. Say Brock wins and Cain still has the belt, do you see Brock as the biggest threat? Uh no! I'm sick of people like Fitch earning his shot while people say he is boring and don't want to see that matchup and Sonnen has one fight and people are up in arms defending his right to fight for the title. That's garbage! And for the last time, Rich Franklin is my favorite fighter. I'm not a fan of the guy who broke my guys nose and took his title but I do respect AS as the best p4p. You guys are crazy to say otherwise!

It seems to me that the only reason people are so keen to see Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen II is because they hate Anderson Silva and want someone to kick is ass. Tends to cloud your judgement.



If Anderson Silva retired tomorrow, he's still the greatest champion in UFC history. He even announced that he wanted to retire in 2009 but didn't. Anderson Silva has absolutely nothing left to prove and Chael Sonnen has everything to prove. He got submitted by the same guy -- Jeremy Horn -- three times! He's 5 wins and 4 losses in the UFC! The guy is a joke, but people are somehow blind to the fact. How many fighters who are one fight over .500 truly deserve a title shot?



And your entire diatribe of angry words is utter nonsense on so many levels. Chael did not have a better fight against Anderson than anyone ever before. That honor belongs to the men who actually beat Silva: Luiz Azeredo, Daiju Takase, Ryo Chonan.



The problem as I see it with Sonnen is he's decided he's in charge and gets to make demands. Who the hell put him in charge? He cheated, he's a career quitter, and he's a prick. Why should he get any say whatsoever in who Anderson fights next?



The trouble Anderson has is he's not an American nor is he a favorite among the really gullible dumbass fans. Nick Diaz went to all sorts of trouble to dodge a title fight with Jay Hieron, but MMA fans never called him on the carpet for it. But they're calling Anderson a coward for pointing out valid reasons that Chael shouldn't get another title shot yet? Why are there so many gullible idiot fans among MMA fans??

Guys..Didnt you see the picture with Ed and Chael joking with each other and having a great time (black house)....this is all a big act to get us hyped up for the figth that will happen for sure. In the end it will be Anderson by Destruction anyway.

Anderson Silva is a dominant champion in a historically weak division.



Silva's dominance and the weakness of the division make the fight with Chael Sonnen a 'must'--unless Silva retires or moves up a weight class. Sonnen is legally allowed to continue TRT as long as he fills out the proper forms and shows up at fight time with legal levels of testosterone.



It's not fair, but that's life for you. I think Vitor or Hendo could get another crack at AS--but they must prove themselves a bit more. I really don't see Bisping or Munoz as being worthy competitors for the MW crown--so the pickin's are slim at MW.



It is my guess that Silva and Soares know that Dana White calls the shots, but if they put up enough resistance, White might sweeten the purse to get Silva on board.

He should ask for Anderson Silva money!

Here's a thought. Chael Sonnen theoretically has been diagnosed with Low T (low testosterone). There is an acceptable range of testosterone based on your age that is considered healthy. So apparently, Chael's natural production is somewhere below that. Now Chael Sonnen destroyed that his own damn self. So how about a special contingency (since Sonnen seems to love throwing such things out there.) Sonnen must test out as being just barely over the lowest level that is considered healthy -- both before and after the fight. Put it in writing, if he wins the win is stripped if his T levels are too high.



This creates a lot of fun actually: I'm of the opinion that Chael's Low T diagnosis is a bunch of BS to begin with. I don't think he CAN show up barely above healthy levels because I don't think he has Low T. But let's just say he does have Low T -- well in that case he would be able to pull it off and show up barely within normal on the low end. Then, we'd see how well Chael Sonnen fights with on the low side of normal testosterone levels. If Chael does have Low T it's his own damn fault for abusing his body as an athlete, so fighting Anderson with low end of normal T would still be letting him off the hook for accepting responsibility for his own actions -- but at least we wouldn't have a raging ball T via injection. If Chael can win the fight with low side of normal T, then I bow to his superiority as a fighter. High end of normal, he's a fake champion who abused a "prescription" he probably never needed to begin with.

First off I am a people. PLEASE DO NOT INSULT ME BY SAYING THIS LUNATIC IS MY CHAMPION!! Chael's a good fighter, sure. He's also a stereotypical schoolyard bully, a racist, a bigot, a convicted criminal, a cheater and the biggest **** in UFC history. How in the world is he "the people's champion"???



Thusfar, the UFC has managed to only rematch Anderson Silva once -- and the rematch was just embarrassing for Rich Franklin. Like most fighting organizations, you tend to want to give everyone deserving a shot before you start handing out second chances at the champ. Anderson Silva is an interesting problem -- it's looking like the most compelling matchup for him is a guy he already beat, but who looked more impressive in the process of getting beat by Anderson Silva than anyone has before. That is a testament to how dominant Anderson Silva has been more than anything else. There are very good fighters at Middleweight, but Anderson is just so much better than the rest, it makes them look like terrible fighters. LHW is DEEP but Anderson did the same thing to a consensus top 10 LHW in Forrest Griffin.



Chael doesn't deserve the rematch because: A.) He cheated. B.) He can't admit that he lost -- even though if the ref let the fight continue, Chael would be a deadman right now! I think if Chael can publicly admit he lost and offer solid reassurances he won't cheat again, and agrees to fight Anderson in Brazil, then go ahead and green-light Sonnen vs Silva II.

LOL, I now have this soundbyte in my head of Bruce Buffer saying those words. Thanks for that, too funny!

In the words of Nick Diaz, Edd sores... "Dont be scared homie"

Hey, no fair quoting Nick Diaz -- a guy NOTORIOUS for ducking Jay Hieron! Besides, it was Caesar Gracie that said that, not Nick. Nick is also ducking Jason Miller and will probably never fight him cuz he's scared of Miller.

As far as Nick vs Jay ... Nick said many things. The fight never happened. Jay Hieron finally just gave up and left for Bellator -- SPECIFICALLY because of Bellator's tournament format. You can't jerk people around with Bellator's format. You win the tournament, you get a title shot.



Guess who's already got the next shot at the WW title at Bellator, something that SF failed to deliver and refused to promise Jay. Obviously, Jay is making weight just fine.



Nick has beaten some great fighters, but either he or Coker -- probably both -- were dead set against Nick EVER fighting Jay Hieron, a guy who on paper should be very beatable for Nick.

It doesn't even matter who beat who. The fight is controversial as hell, and silva has beat everyone else in the division, it's time to ****ing fight cheal again.

Which fight is controversial, the one where Chael Sonnen signaled to the ref, "Stop the fight! I quit! I quit! Make the bad man stop hurting me!!" Is that the fight you're saying is controversial?



I guess you're right if that's the case. Chael Sonnen did get caught cheating after all. But karma's a bitch that way and Sonnen lost cheating notwithstanding, so the guy that wasn't cheating won the day.

are they even sure silva understands what chael sonnen wants? i mean i've heard silvas english its not the best, i don't think he's afraid of chael.i just think he doesn't know what the hell he's saying. can someone get this man a decent translator?

Jon Jones versus Silva! No question ask

I ****ing knew it,, they are ducking this fight.. **** the Count they know this fight will be a cake walk Bisping cant hang with Silva,, I have been saying that this re match is not going to happen

he better fight him again. i know he already beat him, but we all saw how easy chael was wupping him. i want to see if he can do it again this time the way he beat paulo filho the second time. it may be a style clash for silva, and maybe that submission wont be there this time. if so, we may have a new champ against the number 1 fighter in the world.

anderson will never forget the beating he took from chael....A true champion would want revenge, but anderson knows he is outclassed in ground n pound and wrestling..



After watching chael man handle Stann there is no other option....If Dana doesn;t put on that fight he will become worst than don king as a promoter

Of course Silva is scared.

He's scared that Sonnen uses better drugs now.

wow!! after chael destroys him for 4 1/2 rounds he definitely deserves it!!!
