UFC Primetime presents UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II Countdown Show
Posted on June 30, 2012, 08:10 PM by Mike SearsonIn advance of their highly anticipated rematch the UFC has made Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva (31-4 MMA, 14-0 UFC) and contender Chael Sonnen (27-11-1 MMA, 6-4 UFC) the focus of a special edition of "UFC Primetime."
Silva, for all his accomplishments and being a world champion comes across as still being humble. Like other celebrities, he cannot go out in public without being mobbed by his fans. In an opening interview he states how he grew up: "watching sports heroes like Muhhamed Ali and Michael Jordan and listening to music from Michael Jackson and James Brown and now I am being compared to them. It's just awesome."
Sonnen on the other hand continues to trash-talk, calling Silva a "cowardly charlatan" among other things: "I don't like this guy, that's not a secret. I want to beat him up and I'm gonna beat him up, again. He was never the best. There wasn't a day of his fake reign where I wasn't here saying I can beat that guy and I smashed him."
For all his bluster, Sonnen legitimately won every round of their last bout and had the fight gone to the judges he would have achieved perhaps the greatest upset in UFC history if not all MMA history.
Silva seems unimpressed and fires back at Sonnen: "He’s going to step out losing again this time. He’s going to have to see a plastic surgeon after the fight. I’m going to beat him the way his parents should have beat him to teach him some manners.”
Aside from all that, the following video gives glimpses into the training and background of both men, including an interview with Sonnen's mother. Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva will finish what they started in the most anticipated rematch in UFC history at UFC 148 next weekend in Las Vegas.

its the weak button next to your own name
I want this narrator to follow me around all day
Sorry, never had that before. Anyways, I am glad this fight will finally be here. As much as I love the hype, it's been 3 years of the same talk now. Let's get it over with. Chael does say some funny ass things though. Just when you think he is going to say one thing, he completely murders your thoughts.
"Of course your ribs hurt, they have the same problem your hands and feet do,"
I thought he was going to say "I beat you senseless for 4+ rounds" or something to that effect. But instead.
"They are attached to that cowardly thing called Anderson Silva." My jaw would have dropped and fallen off if it wasn't for me laughing.
and those arms and legs on a coward mad u tap!!!! lol
still love this! anderson to nog listen to me, im going to make him tap out! nog no you will knock him out silva no I WILL SUBMIT HIM!!!
nice weaks lol!! but sonnen and silva were both right sonnen was ontop for almost 5 hole rds and silva said he would make him tap and he did!
Easy on the nuthugging bro. Its not a good look.
nogueira brothers jiu jitsu!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, Silva is condoning child abuse for impolite kids! Dana should kick him out of the UFC!
Silva "I’m going to beat him the way his parents should have beat him to teach him some manners.”
it the truth sonnen dad most not have taught him respect some of the stuff he has said is so disrecpectful
He should have been taught to come on the internet and blast people he's never met before. Like your parent taught you? Sonnen has accomplished a lot more than most, and has a lot more drive than anyone NOT IN the cage. I would say his parents did a whole lot better than any of ours.
chael puts ppl he never met on blast all the time
But he backs it up.....when have you ever backed up your talk? lol.
Parents raised a kid right if he has become the #2 MW fighter in the world, has tons of money, and a future career commentating for the UFC.
There are a couple of hilarious Silva GIF's a short way down this page:

"When the first round ended Sonnen had landed more significant strikes on Silva than any other UFC opponent had in an entire fight". Great quote.
Pillows .
landed more Pillows.
Admit it, you're a pillow humper.
Hey BruceLee, what diff do that make bro.Sonan fall to Silva no prob man hes gonna put Orogon man on his back with front kick ha! He'll sleep or tap will fall round 1 anybody say Sonan win is a dumb stump...
lol
If you're going to call people "dumb stumps," you might want to at least give the appearance that you are literate by using spell check.
He definitely lives far from "Orogon" and "Sonan"haha
hey mousasi you you think you can fight like gegard mousasi. if you mousasi i'll be king mo laler ha! push your face in ha!
ur right it didnt matter just like it didnt matter if silva won in the 1st round or the last sec in the 5th a win is a win
hate wanna roll some dice with me at the mgm b4 the fight?
YA DAMN SKIPPY, YA WANT A SHOT OF CROWN ROYAL, CIROC, OR DON JULIO REPASSADO
Just think "Silva is skiing" If Anderson wins he might have enough money to have you surgically removed from his crotch.
im far from a nut hugger im just not blind to greatness like u, i give sonnen props for ALMOST winning!!! even with the trt stuff!! and u just think if silva wins there will probly be no more SONNEN KOOL AID TO DRINK lol!! hopfully he will be gone and all his lies with it
How come they never mentioned Chael cheated on the first fight?? Yet they let him mock Silva about being injured.. give me a break.
Get ready to dive into failure again Chael, then what, you're gonna make 3rd title run saying you're the best in the world?
You weaked me, you weak needed stumps, see how weak Sonons game is for Silva. You weaker than Sonens game. I weaked all your comments back. Weak that you Sonan lovers ha!
DG short for "Dumb Guy". The English language must be like Alien Hieroglyphs to you.
I presume English isn't your first language and you speak it better than I speak your language (?Portuguese). I'll give you a tip, when a word is underlined in red it is spelled wrong. Right click on it with your mouse and chose the correctly spelled word.
weaked u!
Hey mousasi and entity I weaked you both ha! *facepolm* ;-) =
Heres the thing Chael, even if you somehow manage to beat Silva you wont be the best ever like you already think you are. If you somehow go on to absolutely dominate the sport for 5 years Ill reconsider...
