It's not his takedown D that is so impressive
It’s his ability to get back up…
Anderson doesn’t really try to get back up, he just fights, ya’feel me!

i dont know, bisping also has solid takedown D. but you're right, anderson is very confident in his ability to submit people or sweep so he doesn't mind playing guard

This is going to be the realization of Wanderlei’s ‘In Brazil we have a saying…’ spiel.

Chael is going to run through Anderson.
No one in mma brings the fight like Chael does.
Team Sonnen!
I stopped reading at the part that said run through Anderson

sonnen is getting destroyed!
Anderson Silva is going to retire Sonnen in Brazil!
Women are at home with their husbands and children. Whores are at the club getting smacked by the Reem.
Anderson by easy TKO, first or second at the latest. I really believe that they would have massive trouble to get Chael out of there unharmed if he happened to get the upset win.

It says a lot about Chael
that some of these guys can’t pick a winner. In other words, 2 years ago they would have picked Anderson hands down……now, not so much.
not really
Quite a few of those guys know chael and have trained with him. It says alot that they wont say chael will win this fight.

Wtf did Kongo say?
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
LOL I was wondering myself, something about great opportunity,

i think he was talking about himself
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
He was asked how he felt about fighting in front of 100 000 people
Ya damn monkeys!

Who gives a fuck.
I wish the UFC had some kind of steroid policy. I know they ALL cheat, but this juice monkey shouldn’t get a rematch so soon after he was busted. He beat Brian Stann and barely squeezed out a win against Bsiping and that’s good enough? This one-nutted dickhead has it better than Brock did. I hope he dies in the cage.
King Kong ain't got nothing on me!
Couldn't agree more!
Death may be going a bit too far, but not by much! He’s such a fn scumbag, in and out of the ring!
Those are dumb questions. i don`t see why the people think that its so dangerous there for Sonnen or anyone that fights Brazilian fighter. Its just a sport, a competition. The first time that UFC wes there Nedkov won agains Cane and he provoked the s..t out of those people and all they did was booing him. yes Sonnen isn`t Nedkov and Cane isn`t Anderson but he was right there in there face and they didn`t do s..t.(plus Cane was the only Brazilian that lost that night) that makes it a bit more sour for them. And the Brazilians are not stupid they wouldnt do anything stupid that would piss Dana off and risk not having another UFC there
Are you stupid? The things that chael said about brazil is almost equivalent to a redneck calling a black person NIGGER. NOT QUITE BUT CLOSE. Hell yea he should be worried in brazil. Just because dana white Says sonnen will be okay in brazil means absolutely nothing. There are some crazy ass brazilians who is really offended by sonnens comments and could care less about with dana white says. Dana white is not god he’s a powerful individual. But not powerful enough To humble Some really angry brazilians

I saw an old interview w/ Dan Henderson when he was the pride champ right before fighting against Vitor
Basically said the way to beat silva was to take him down and lay down shots, Chael did that great last time however I dont know if Chael will be up for the challenge or try to clinch and dirty box since he is pretty strong against the greatest p4p fighter ever.

Rampage's part was great
Why I gotta have an exit strategy because I beat a Brazilian in Brazil, I don’t care, I’ll just the muthafuckin arena.

Lame Fight, Anderson wins
In the past few years I’ve become somewhat of a Chael Sonnen fan actually. But c’mon.
Anderson was battling pretty serious injury in the first match with his damaged rib. Anderson still won that fight. Now, they will be in Brazil and Silva will likely be injury free AND motivated like never before. Chael put up a good fight the first time, and he’s talked a lot of shit, so Anderson will be looking to kill.
And think about it, what is the more likely scenario? Sonnen suddenly learns submission defense or Anderson nullifys Chaels attack? Easy pick. Not only that, Chael doesn’t have the steroids around to help him out this time.
Everything indicated a Sonnen loss.
I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN
When anderson silva Destroys chael sonnen I don’t wanna hear anything from sonnen fans. I don’t wanna hear" he lost because the fight was in brazil" or any excuses on why he lost AGAIN. I think this is a fair statement. Because wait anderson silva wins There really is nothing else to be said regarding sonnen and silva
by nathaniel gray II on Feb 14, 2012 1:38 PM EST via mobile reply actions
So when Silva loses, what will you say?
Team Sonnen!
by Armando Baez on Feb 14, 2012 1:50 PM EST up reply actions
are you trying to say that Chael will win this fight?
You are like the guys in this vid, none of them say "chael is going to win/finish/destroy him… they all know is Anderson they are talking about.. so they say..ohhh, chael’s go the tools to/if he sticks to his game plan blah blah blah lol
Silva is going to finish this fight in the first 3 rounds
If silva loses well say damn what the hell , give chael props for being 1-1 with the still best in the world
And then wait patiently for the drug test results

Unlike some people I won’t say nothing if he loses.

I love the sheer delusion that Silva fans continue to hold on to, it’s going to make Sonnen’s domination and victory over him in the rematch even sweeter. Sonnen is Silva’s kryptonite, you can bring up any excuse and justification you want but the same thing will happen in Brazil only it will end with Sonnen winning all 25 minutes and not 23.
"I don't walk around looking at cameras telling people that I am the best fighter in the world to hear myself talk. I say it for the same reason they put warnings on packages of cigarettes, because fighting Chael Sonnen may be hazardous to one's health."-Chael P. Sonnen
