The sonnen shirt is cool, but i don't want his name on my back.
I was thinking the same thing, give me the Tapout shirt without Sonnen's name on it.
I can put it on a stuff animal, throw it in the back yard & let my dog GSP it, to death
it should be a collared shirt bc sonnen is a office worker
Hey, looking the card this seems USA vs Brazil.
Definetly, to bad in Brazil's favor though lol
It looks like a CLEAN SWEEP forr Brazil. These fighters are no JOKE!
I do got to take Jon Fitch though so maybe the USA can take take one,
Amazing card!
I want Silva to win. By all right Silva should own Sonnen in the cage. And I'd hate it if Sonnen won.
But I've just got a real bad feeling about this fight.
My head says pick Silva but my gut says go with Sonnen.
I don't know what to do.
Its called marketing... Thats why there are commercials. Even tho people are generally displeased with commercials or even their content, on a subconscious level, even if you are not consciously open to accepting what the advertisement entails, your mind is absorbing that information... So the reason you have that feeling is likely from hearing Sonnen sell his victory over the last several months!! In my opinion, he brings nothing new to the table and is a concussion waiting to happen.
Dude you are tottaly right, and worst of all I work in advertising so I should know better.
That said, i need the points, so I'm going with my gut in the hope that Sonnen performs a mirrical!
Same hear I'm picking A.Silva but i gotta a funny feeling too.
Can't wait to see Thiago Silva back can't believe he's on the prelims
They both could have done better with their shirts. Silva's leaves something to be desired. I would most likely pick Chael's shirt then.
The best card ever and it's in my city
morecraft is gonna knock out struve in the 1st round
Dustin Hazelett and Rick Story could be fight of the night
USA vs Brazil
