FIRST *facepolm* :-) =
Do you ejaculate every time you post this mediocre joke developed by Special Ed students from the YMCA in San Francisco?
Predict Silva ko 2st round.Sonan cant take Silvas game ha! Will sleep or tap ha! Go home Origon boy back to little leeges baby Sonan ha! When he sleep tap or ha! u lovers Sonan cry all go home ha!
whats wrong with you???
What's wrong YOU, Kackvogel?? Love Sonan or some thing? *sticks tonge out* weaked you! ha!
Kackvogel...
No need to chat with illiterate people...
sry dude, not a fan of sonnen or silva!!!!
you sound retarded!
At first I thought you might be a foreigner but now I am thinking that you are Bruce Lee or maybe Hunter B. He has a lot of time right now.
Choke - I can assure you he isn't me. I TRY to be funny. DG isn't funny at all. To me the language sounds more like Brasil. The only other guy on this site who doesn't seem to care how people rank him or what people think is Hateocracy. Hate either has very strong self esteem or he doesn't look back to see what people thought of his comments.
I am hoping that this huuuuge weight cut that sonnen has to undergo doesn't take away from the fight, such big cuts through dehydration often leave fighters sluggish and tired, chaels style of fighting is to grind n grind some more, if his stamina takes a hit because of huge last minute weight cutting, it could really take away from the promise of this fight.
Yeah, I hope Dolce wasn't responsible for Sonnen's stamina in the Bisping fight.
this isnt Cahel's first weight cut....
He does this all the time...
Silva doesnt have the power to knock out Chael.
Its hard to call the fight from evaluating the last one. Chael kicked his ass and got caught on the last 30seconds. The only reasonable conclusion is that Chael will kick his ass again and eother get caught or not....
This weight cut story is fake, I mean after all the bull shit Sonnen has spout off, you really think he is telling the truth here. NO. It is a tactic for him to tout himself even higher if he beats Silva. Perhaps have an excuse if he loses. Come on people.
Its a fair point, i never thought of it that way, i have also been thinking about how much sh.it he has said the last 2 years, everyone is saying he has got in silvas head and its gonna effect how he fights, (even GSP is saying this) however, the amount of sh.it sonnen has spoken has become sooo huge and such apart of his personality that if he does not back it up, even if he loses he has to put up a big fight, with what he did last time almost defeating the immortal silva he has to go one step further, he has put himself under huge amounts of pressure and i wanna see how he handles it. Its not like he has just said, i believe i am a better fighter than silva and by July 7th i will be champ....he has really put his foot in it....
if it is ...its no different than Silva complaining about his rib being injured from their last fight
Exactly! Geez everyone is like aw come on man you don't have to hate Sonnen.... it's just an act guys. Then he comes out and says he has to cut at least 20 lbs in 24 hrs?! I'm sure it could be done but who really knows with this guy. I'm starting to question the whole father story and everything else. The guy is probably a really nice guy off camera but it's hard to tell what's real with Sonnen. I just tend to discredit everything when it comes to people like him. Damn. I really just like to watch the fights and I don't understand the people around here who really get enjoyment out of the drama and show.
Dude, the guy was a crooked real estate agent and a republican politician. He is not a nice guy. He is putting on an act and most of what he says comes out of his arse but the bad guy aspect of the persona is real. This dude would sell his mom to the murahaleen.
STFU
tomorrow cant come soon enough :(
...and now its here. Amazing
THe shoulder strike is the secret move Seagal has been talking about!!
Yeah SIlva's secret gameplan was to knock Sonnen out when he wasn't ready at the weigh ins, wonder if Silva shows up tomorrow now.
KF:
I know they are in different weight classes, but I would have loved to see Silva shoullder strike someone like rampage jackson at a weigh in. Sonnen acted as if nothing happened but you could tell he was pissed.
WEAK !!!!!!!!
Chael looked exhausted during the weigh-in. Dolce helped him manage the weight cut, it'll be interesting to see how much energy he has tomorrow...
I can't believe Silva just did that...
I'm sh!tting a brick just watching the weigh-ins... don't know how I'll be able to sit through this fight haha
hahahahah i am the same, can't remember the last time i was this excited for a fight.
Take a few valiums Nick...! Chris Leben can help you out
Shit is real now!! Cant beleive this will go down tomorrow....epic, legendary moment for MMA.
Brasil:
have you got any painkillers in case Anderson loses?
Too bad about the video problems during Cung Le's weigh-in, he was one of the guys who's conditioning I wanted to have a look at.
Couldve saved yourself if you said no homo
You know, I considered being more careful with my wording to avoid people making "homo" jokes, but then I thought "dumb juvenile jokes on the internet, that 'll never happen.
Yeah, we used to say that when I was in grade 3 (third grade for the Americans)
Simply ball busting, my intentions are not malicious. Its funny you should say that though, maybe you should take a look at the worlds education index :P
Knock his dumb ass out Anderson!!
Yes, he will.
Its hard to knock a guy out with a punch to the ass. Try a head strike.
**** chael & **** all of his fans. The twat is deluded. I hope silva breaks his neck.
Who else thinks Cody McKenzie reminds you of Josh Blue? from last comic standing? ^_^
