I'll fight him for $5.99.
take a pay cut and get a A$$ whoping what a great deal!!! sign me up
LOL So very true @Silvaisking2321
Yeah, this is nothing but the Chael Sonnen syndrom Or I should say these guys have all caught the Sonnen fever. At the end of the day, they will continue to fail one after the other.
Ya it's funny everyone is coming out from under their rock now and " I want to fight AS"
Amazing the job Sonnen did taking all the fear away - but didn't Sonnen get beat down? Why does every think AS is a free lunch all of the sudden?
This guy didn't say anything disrespectful - that reporter was "leading the witness" - can't blame him for wanting to fight the best tho - why else would he try.
he is FREE LUNCH! after he whoops your ass he invite u over to a BBQ
Haha well played sir
Andy is already a legend. He has 3 fights left and everyone is clamoring for an opportunity to fight the goat. I would be honored to have him steal my soul too.
IDK if Andy really only has three fights. The way he was talking at the post fight presser it sounded like he is thinking of taking the Randy Couture route.
they all want a chance to lay n pray now
I don't think Rockhold or Weidman could beat Sonnen they should be worried about him first, before calling Silva out...just saying.
Why would someone trying to reach the top level of their sport, be worried about what the champion brings to the table. "Aware" would be a better term used.
Kind of ironic just about the only guy not talking smack, Chris Weidman, is looking like the only guy who could actually challenge Silva.
Rockhold is good but no way near good enough
Someone needs to tell this guy he fights for strikeforce, taking a pay cut would mean he has to pay to fight.
This is why the ufc should do some Bellator style tourney's every now and then.
I think there are a few guys who should get a shot but they should fight each other first .
Weidman needs a few more fights to give him the best chance against Silva , I say this because I don't think he is anywhere near his peak yet and and a tourney would quickly give him that extra experience though lets not forget the unknown factor in this mix that is definitely Lombard .
luke would get killed by silva...
MW division is already pretty weak not talking about the Strikeforce MW division...
luke said sonnen is a Very Well rounded guy....nice joke there luke!!
To have a good chanse against silva you need to be a good wrestler and put silva on his back. then you need some power to execute something or some crazy submissions. Weidman could maybe be the the guy right now, he has crazy wrestling and seem to have some power in those hands to... and then he rolled around with Maia on the ground so he has good submission defence...
What? What? I can't read or hear anything over these Oakley ads!
Of all the guy's calling him out, this one made me laugh for real.
Sonnen got a shot because he was outspoken... so now everybody thinks they can too. Everybody wants their 15 min of fame, even when they know they dont have a shot at all
Sonnen got a shot because he backed it up after first fight.
Look at this clown asking for his deathwish.
