Anderson Silva: My opinion of Chael Sonnen is that he doesn't respect nothing

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, while still rehabbing from a shoulder injury that he suffered weeks before his title fight with Yushin Okami at UFC 134 on Aug. 27, 2011, talked to ESPN radio (710 LA) about many hot topics that have been surrounding him lately.
Chief among them, of course, being his highly anticipated rematch with the man who came within seconds of defeating him at UFC 117 almost two years ago, his arch rival Chael Sonnen, which is scheduled to take place in June of this year in Brazil.
Speaking frankly, "The Spider" explains why he has such a problem with his avowed enemy, namely the fact that he doesn't respect the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA).
But he also explains why he performed the way he did in the first fight. You've heard it before, I'm sure, but it's worth hearing again. And it provides an interesting insight into how different the rematch is likely to be.
Check it out:
"Chael has good wrestling. The first fight, I broke my ribs, I fought with broken ribs. But that's okay, I finished the fight and I win. But this time I am ready. I am training hard, this is a different fight. My opinion for Chael is that this guy does not respect nothing. This time in this sport is very important. The people watching the UFC, the people that watch Chael Sonnen talking, they are like 'What? What is this sport? I don't like this sport. This guy doesn't respect nothing.' I understand sometimes you need to promote the fight but, I don't know. Chael talks about my people in Brazil, about my wife, about the older fighters. It's his problem, it's no good, it's no good promotion, this is a sport. I love my sport. I love it and I respect the older people and the older fighters of the sport. This is a great time for the sport. But Chael maybe does not understand this, his problem is he talks too much. It is no good."
With his sights set firmly on Sonnen, Silva has little time to worry about much else, though he also told ESPN he thinks a fight against Georges St. Pierre is something that needs to occur at some point.
Never mind that for now, though.
What's important is taking care of Sonnen and doing so in his home country of Brazil. And if he's healthy this time out, it could change the entire complexion of the fight.
Anyone think this one makes it into the championship rounds like last time? Or will the Brazilian be motivated to finish the fight quick and finally be rid of the bothersome flying buzzing around his belt?
Opinions, please.

IMO Silva is way more disrespectful
Making jokes and hyperbole in interviews is one thing, clowning and taunting and humiliating an opponent during a fight is on a whole other level of disrespect. The way Silva acted in the Maia & Forrest fights and in the Belfort weigh-ins…unforgivable. Some guys talk shit but then give total respect when it’s time to get down to business. Chael & Rampage are like that, they’re just having fun hyping the fight. But then you have guys who act like total pricks during a fight, guys like Silva, Rashad, Diaz or who rub it in when they beat someone (Bisping, Tito, Kos)….those are your genuine assholes!

He says he respects the sport

Not defending chael
pointing out that silva is not as righteous as his comments would lead you to believe.He showed up to a weigh-in wearing a mask, the people watching that must have been saying “whats this sport”

The broken ribs BS came out of embarrassment for not dominating like he usually does. He was proved to be human and he didn’t like. Congrats to him for sub. Hopefully Chael will fight 25 minutes this time, and not get slack at the end. I. Can’t. Wait.

Chael broke Silva's ribs early in the fight.
that’s why we heard nothing about it beforehand and why Silva had to be carried out of the cage after his “victory”. Nevertheless, if Chael doesn’t manage to break a rib early in the rematch, we could be looking at a very different fight. Silva is usually brutal from the bottom with slicing elbows and I don’t think he was able to use that in their first fight because of his rib injury. I expect Chael will get him down just as easily with or without the ribs, but what happens when they’re on the ground could be very different. I’m praying Chael will finish the job this time, but if I had to bet my last dollar, I’d put it on Silva. (Man, you don’t know how it pains me tosay that!)
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"

But not everybody is gonna be all respectful an shit, Silva should be used to it an just let it be an just use it as extra fuel to kick the Cheaters ass. Ill be glad when Sonnen gets his ass beat an we can go back to forgetting who he is

Sonnen looked horrible against Bisping
Coming off that fight, he doesn’t even deserve to comment on an Anderson Silva fight, let alone get in the cage for a title shot with him.
He likely gets destroyed, literally.

Bisping's take down defense is a million times better than Silva's
as his scrambling ability once down.

Anyway, I think Sonnen was fortunate to do so well in the first fight. Hopefully he has Anderson’s number, but to me, he looked weak against Bisping, which I think bodes ill for him in his rematch.

Sonnen has "black belt" wrestling
Sonnen is an agitator. He’s been trying to goad Silva into a rematch and perhaps upset Silva so he competes with too much emotion when they meet next. Sonnen may act the fool at times. However, all of Sonnen’s opponents have to respect his world class wrestling ability. If it weren’t for Sonnen’s take downs and back mount, Bisping would be meeting Silva next.
Sonnen needs to work on his submission game. He will probably mount Silva once or twice. However, that is not enough. Silva may be hailed as a master striker, but he has submitted many world class wrestlers. Silva’s BJJ guard is deadly. Sonnen will have to be prepared to take big damage for the take down. Then he’ll have to start chaining subs attempts and hope one sticks.
Sonnen's "black belt" wrestling against Pissbing must have come out of a Cracker Jack box
His wrestling sucked in that fight unless Pissbing is just that good and we know the answer to that. This fight doesn’t make it past rd 2 – IF IT HAPPENS.

he took bisping down 5 times in that fight and dominated the entire 3rd because of his wrestling
So what’s the cracker jack box talk about?

Sonnen looked woeful to begin with but he won the 3rd easy and was looking stronger as the fight went on and we all know Bispings wrestling is severely underrated

"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
woeful but then again not really
He had bisping on his back in like 15-20 seconds into the fight already dictating the pace.Credit must be giving to bisping not credit taking from sonnen.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING
A wrestling black belt is b.s. either your a good wrestler or not. Wrestling is it even a form of martial arts. It’s a sport but not a martial art. There is no such thing as a black belt for wrestlers. By the way you CAN get cleared to fight with broken ribs it’s easy actually.

What's that shit about a fight with GSP?
Why not Jon Jones? Oh yeah, he wouldn’t have a significant size advantage.
GSP could give him a good fight, but the size difference seems unreasonable. Advantage, Silva.
He doesn't respect nothing? A double negative!?
does that mean he DOES respect SOMETHING???
you should totally twitter that on your facebook
I was thinking the same thing
But figured maybe something had gotten lost in the translation. Or, if he was actually speaking in English, maybe he wasn’t fully aware of the rules of grammar.

He didn't cheat...
….he was taking TRT that is legal and it was disclosed. He will still be taking it the next time they fight too. The fact Kaiser and his flunkies can’t get it together is their problem. Guess you missed the fight Silva acted like a TOTAL Jackass and Dana thought about cutting him?
Explain how that wasn’t disrespectful to his Employer, The fans, MMA and his opponent. I look forward to your explanation wooley.
wooly doesn't have to explain anything in reference to what Dana said
Dana says a lot of things…if you’re going to live and die by what Dana says then you should be posting “Anderson Silva is the best fighter in the world”
If you think for one second that Dana would cut Anderson then you’re silly….he owns like 10% of the UFC, he doesn’t get to make that decision…he has to consult with the Fertitas first and they definitely weren’t cutting Anderson
why not,its not as if he brings in tons of ppv buys(on his own)
and he hasnt exactly brought Brazil to the forefront,theres plenty of other “liked” brazilian mmartists.I would go as far as to say there will even be some fans secretly cheering for Sonnen if they fight in Brazil.Andys not super liked over there from what ive read and saw
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
You are silly if you think that crowd isn't going to cheer loudly for Anderson...silly!
He is well liked down there…majority of his sponsors are probably down there…
Who cares if he brings tons of ppv buys, the UFC isn’t smashing ppv buys anyway….1 million buys is a big for them and that isn’t a regular occurrence…people make too big a deal about the ppv buys.
yep but even Dana knows silva isnt a draw
sonnen had to carry their ppv and its a fact that in every silva card theres had to be a big name on there,another title fight or a fight with serious title implications,dana knows this.Silva isnt liked anywhere.Thats a fact!
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
That's not true....
I’d say cards with GSP on it are waaaaaay more loaded than cards with Silva on it…
The most loaded card Silva was on was the card in Brazil….and that probably brought millions upon millions of viewers in Brazil…his fight with Sonnen will probably be watched by over 50 million Brazilians…
i dont know about gsp
i know that silvas had to had chuck liddell and bj penn a couple of times to carry a card for him
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
and that probably brought millions upon millions of viewers in Brazil
Yes. Yes it did. It was on free TV.
GSP carries between 600-700,000 buys by himself. Anderson, until the Sonnen fight, was carrying between 250-300 buys by himself, got 600,000 for the Sonnen fight, and 300,000 for Brazil. AS had always had other proven draws on cards with him until Sonnen and Brazil, so the jury is still out. Seems people want to watch him when they think he might lose, but otherwise don’t really care enough to pay for a squash match.
AS fighting Bones would break a million buys. Same with AS/GSP. But not because of the Spider.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.

agreed ulf thanks for the numbers

"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
So what are JBJ's numbers in terms of viewership?
And by the way GSP’s last fight also featured Couture on the card, as well as Aldo…the one before that had an 800k buyrate with no major names on the card, so props there…the one before that had Frank Mir on it…the one before that was UFC 100, no need for an explanation as to why that card was huge…the one before that had BJ Penn and Lyoto…and the one before that also had Brock Lesnar
Silva’s fight with Forrest had a buyrate of 850k….which is as much as GSP has done, minus the UFC 100 which was loaded and should never be used in defense of GSP
Now back to JBJ’s buyrates…go look them up…then come back and apologize for bringing up buyrates
he did 520,000
against page with a shabby card,not too bad.And bj penn was on the griffin card,that helped.
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
And Rampage was on the Jones vs Rampage card...
Hmmmmm…
IMO buyrates only prove who is the more marketable fighter…and in combat sports competition is the most important thing to the fighter and the fans…buyrates only matter to the businessmen who are seeking a profit
Anderson Silva doesn’t speak English…tell me someone who speaks English as fluently as he does that is a bigger draw in the UFC…
Moreover, I’d say 500k is about the average in terms of buyrates in the UFC…so calling out Anderson on buyrates does nothing when there is probably only 1 fighter averaging more than 500k in buyrates per event
bj penn was on the card as well as griffin jeez!
just face it silva isnt a draw,no one really cares about him and he will quickly be forgotten about.
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
Haha....ok...
I think you’re better than this scott…so I’ll chalk it up to you being bored on a Saturday…
Cause we all know Anderson is awesome and probably the best example of a pure mixed martial artist in the sport today…GSP being right up there as well
YOU ARE SO STUPID
Look at all the great fight is in history They clowned opponents also. Roy jones junior, muhammad ali bernard hopkins. I think you get my point. What cracks me up About some of you guys Is that You guys find any little thing To insult anderson silva about. It’s pretty sad. All the things he has done and entertaining finishes he has delivered but a lot of people still hate on him. It really makes no sense whatsoever

He's only gone to decision twice in his UFC stint...
But people will always point to the Maia fight as a reason to show he’s disrespectful….you don’t call out a guy and say you’re going to rip a limb off and expect him to show up on fight night all courteous and nice…
Besides…capoeira is a martial art, and I like seeing it
Demian Maia said he was going to take home one of Anderson's limbs...
Given that Maia was coming off only one win, to Dan Miller, I would have felt disrespected if I was Anderson as well…I’m happy about what he did to Demian…but guess what, they kissed and made up after and even appeared on a TV show together
Silva said Maia disrespected him by claiming to have better Jitz
Maia is a 5 time World Champion in JiuJitsu. That’s like if Michael Jordan got pissed because Tiger Woods claimed to have an advantage over him in golf!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Forget GSP, I wanna see AS vs JBJ!
GSP is too small and has to many excuses ready as to why he won’t fight Silva. Silva has already proved he can hang with LHW’s. He should end Sonnen quickly with a crane kick in June, and prepare for a real fight with Johnny Bones in Sept.
he wont fight JBJ,too scared!
i wish he would I,ve never bet on MMA before but that would be too easy to turn down!

Anyone who says the best fighter in the world has nothing for Jon bones jones is ignorant on purpose
Yes Jon is best at silvas weakness but silva is the master at Jon’s .
Silva is actually more lethal at 205 but since 185 isn’t a hard cut he’s made it his home since hes really not that big he’s just lanky .

Yes, I’ve never met a dumb cop who graduated. Never. Dude dumbs it up all the time. I’m sure he is intelligent, but he certainly doesn’t come across intelligent. But to your comment, I’ve went to school with a bunch of dumb jocks who couldn’t make anything out of themselves so they joined the police force as they were always on a power trip so that is a fitting job. And in no way am I saying that police officers are dumb as that is a job that I would never want for all the tension that comes with it.

Love Sonnen but.....
He’s got all the ego, work ethic + desire to be the best.. but not the skills. I just think he’ll forever be the #2 guy. I was shocked how much trouble Bisping gave him. Puts lots of doubt he’ll be able to stick it to AS, and made me question how significant that PED was. Just sayin.
After AS has convincingly cleaned out the MW div, looking to clean out the WW div is pretty silly. Besides, I’m pretty sure GSP is an easy call-out.. GSP has already been thowing excuses for 2 years as to why he doesn’t wanna face AS making GSP look like the chicken..

I’m not looking to see Silva lose, i’m looking to see Silva CEMENT his legacy as MMA’s greatest of all time.. put him in the Ali level of fighters.
Right now, the only person who I see giving him a run is JBJ. He’s got better wrestling, but not the striking.. however, his reach and athleticism would make it very interesting..
If Silva could finish JBJ, I think it would be the final feather in his cap.

"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
It would be the final feather, yup...because we know how good Bones is...
But in terms of legacy…he and GSP are on a completely different plateau than Jones…so I’d say, JBJ fighting Anderson is more detrimental to his career than it is to Anderson’s…but yeah
The only way I see Anderson vs JBJ happening is if Anderson and Dana come to an agreement that he will vacate the belt if he wins…cause Anderson tries to explain every time that 3 of his main training partners fight at 205 (Feijao, Lil Nog and Machida)….he already has glory at 185, I’m sure he’d rather those guys achieve their own glory than him stealing the spotlight…I’d bet he wouldn’t want to drop to 170 and ruin Erick Silva’s chance at glory…but people look at that and say he’s scared…
How can Anderson Silva possibly be scared of anyone considering his current streak…if anything he probably feels like he’s the best thing since slice bread
different plateau to silva?jeez!

Everything is relative...
Those guys JBJ fought posed as much of a threat to him as Anderson’s opponents posed to him…
Jones has been champion for 1 year, with 2 title defences…you cannot compare what he has done thus far to what Anderson and GSP have done…it’s Kobe vs Lebron
if its all relative why do you definitively say that silva is in front in terms of legacy?
the mw div is weaker than the lhw and Jones is decimating his opponents in a more devastating fashion.please explain
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
Really? That's what you're going to bring up?
Hmmm…I never fully understood why people say the MW division is weak as a reason to dispute Anderson’s accomplishments…tell me…is Anderson fighting everyone in his division or only the guys who work their way up to a title fight? Also, tell me, when Anderson recognized he needed more (at a time when the UFC could only get him fights with Leites and Cote) did he not jump to 205 and test the waters there?
Are you going to question GSP’s legacy as well? Or is the MW division the only division in question…because last I remembered, WW isn’t loaded with world class talent either…just a bunch of Rick Story level fighters (dispute this if you will, I have points to argue it)
My only explanation is: Anderson has defended his title 9 times….what more do I need to say? Anderson isn’t a huge draw and yet he’s more well known to the casual fan than JBJ is
Anderson isn’t a huge draw and yet he’s more well known to the casual fan than JBJ is
I would have agreed a year ago. Not now. Sports Illustrated “body” model. ESPN athlete of the year poll. Analyst on the last Fox broadcast.
Throw in his PPV buys getting bigger with each fight (#1 draw in the UFC last year based upon buys, but only because Brock and GSP only fought once each) and it is easy to see the direction the UFC is going in terms of marketing dolalrs spent to build fighters. Not on AS.

I see you are having your cake and eating it too… or special pleading if you will. LHW is such a strong division then it follows that Forrest Griffin was one of the best fighters in the division since he was CHAMPION. Silva took his soul. Accept it, your life will go smoother.
"He's got a great package... and an unusual one!" Joe Rogan (of Lyoto Machida)

Exactly, Scott. Forrest was handpicked by Dana to put on an exhibition of Silva’s skills. Silva had been booed out of the auditorium in his last 2 fights and they needed someone who was:
1)a big name
2)slow
3) No KO power or takedown tendencies
3) would walk forward right into Silva’s counterpunching
Forrest knew perfectly well he was being sacrificed to Dana’s pet and he was clearly pissed off about it as soon as the match was announced. He’s never been the same fighter since. He doesn’t do his “screw it, I’m just a dog” thing anymore because he saw that it made him an easy pawn in Dana’s scheme to make other fighters look good. Forrest has fought much smarter since and lost a lot of fans for doing so.

I think there’s a very good chance that Silva could beat all those guys….but he hasn’t, because even though he is their size and fights his best at 205, he won’t touch those fights. Hell, he bitches every time he’s asked to fight a TOP3 185er.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
WOULD is much differnet than DID
Jose Aldo WOULDD beat all of them if he was the same size, but he isn’t. The big difference in our mutual conjecture is the AS is the same size, yet he has never wanted to pursue fights at 205 against top competition that posed a threat. From his own mouth, he would never fight Bones, Machida or Shogun. For some reason meeting top competitors makes them too good of friends to fight.

imo
Silva had a documented fascia tear to his lower ribs while training weeks before UFC 117 with U.S. Olympic gold medalist judoka Satoshi Iishi.
Sonnen’s T/E levels were 16.9 times (4 times a normal athlete’s) above normal. Elevated T/E levels means significantly improved cardio, recovery, and twitch response—which explains his performance. Not because he was a U.S. Olympic alternate and silver medalist with a power double and pillow fists. Without TRT…he wouldn’t even be a contender. See his performance with Bisping-looks like his T/E levels are back to normal.
Silva’s camp has had a U.S. Olympic wrestling coach (L4 U.S. Army HTH instructor) post 117 to train and work his TDD and wrestling basics.
A healthy and focused Anderson will finish another wrestler in a devastating manner by Rd 2.

Sarah,
you know we all love you, but just like Nick Diaz, the rules apply to you as well. Here is your sig.
"I need to start letting my husband make my picks for me"
When Like Water is released...and we see actual evidence that Anderson was hurt prior to his fight with Chael...
And when Anderson spanks Chael in Brazil…we will all bite our tongues
VERY TRUE
Sonnen doesn’t even respect the rules, much less other fighters.
Chael thinks he's MMA's ALI
That’s why he puts on his big clown act. He’s actually very intelligent, but he lacks common sense. Yes, there are people like that.
All he’s doing is devaluing the great sport of MMA…. espeically when he does that crap on Fox.
CS Knows His Ceiling
CS knows he performed way beyond his limits in the first fight
CS knows he has one more big money fight in his career
then
he will fall to gatekeeper level and pay
CS knows he is doing an act with all the prepared speils
and CS knows that AS is his meal-ticket
Once AS gives him a royal butt whipping
he knows that level of money will never come his way again
So I am just taking it with a grain of salt
and waiting to see him KTFO in Brzil
IF he even gets to fight there
Poor Chael
He’s not gonna know what to do when he can’t get Anderson to the mat and smack him around with his little pitter patter ground n pound. I wanna see Andy make the clown bleed

I don’t like the idea of Sonnen taking those enhancer testosterone (? spelling) shots! Even if Sonnen would beat him it would be tainted in my eyes! But the way to BEAT Silva is to outwrestle him, don’t stand up and strike with the guy (Forrest Griffin). Either you do that or you’re wasting your time fighting him. Wayne Arthur
