Re: UFC 117

his traps definitely shrank. His pecs, delts... he looks a lot smaller to me. When he fougt Hughes, his pecs and traps were freaking huge. He looks like the before pics in the before and after photo evidence of his roid use.

Yep, it is weak. There are some really good undercard fights. I might actually pay for the fights and then link em for you guys. I want to see the hendricks fight for sure.

Re: UFC 117

I'm definitely more interested in this fight than the last 4 fights Silva has had in the UFC. Chael has if nothing else been consistent in the fact that he will talk as much shit at every opportunity possible. I honestly think he is in Silva's head at this point. This way Silva wouldn't look at him could have been intended to signify he doesn't respect Chael enough to look at him but I have a feeling that Silva is having a hard time staying cool after all the shit Chael said.

Everything from him being smug, the Nogueira brothers black belt meaning nothing, the cheating accusation, etc etc etc. We could see Silva intentionally take a cheap shot at him here with all thats been said. We could see for the first time ever a UFC champion losing his belt by way of Disqualification because I don't know how anyone could stay cool after all this, especially if Chael can frustrate Silva with takedowns.

This whole card is stacked with the promise of action top to bottom.

Re: UFC 117

Ludo, I did not hear the shot at the Nog bb. That is some serious shit to say to a brazilian. Those are fight on the street words. I would not be surprised at all if Silva lets the takedown happen just so he can try to submit him. Of all of Sonnen's shit talk, taht is probably the thing that could actually affect the way Silva fights.

Re: UFC 117

So, in Brazil it's worse to question your black belt then to be called a fraud and lier?

There was some shit on Sherdog about it a few days ago. He definitely said it.

The next video is FUCKING EPIC! Our friend Jeremy Botter from Heavy.com was posting these quotes on his Twitter while I was out with my kids and I was laughing so hard people began to stare at me like I was a mad man. Chael Sonnen has officially become a stand-up comedian, in his next anti-Anderson Silva diatribe the number one contender goes on to insult his camp, manager and skills.

Chael insists that Anderson Silva’s black belt from the Nogueira brothers comes in a Brazilian Happy Meal at MacDonalds, then goes on to say that one of the Nogueira brothers is a punching bag and the other one is irrelevant. Sonnen denies he has a Twitter account and wrote the quotes you have seen throughout the past few weeks….just watch it’s worth it.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Chael Sonnen now refers to himself in the third person, awesome.

Re: UFC 117

He said that like 2 months ago.

As far as affecting the way Silva fights, either he's a complete moron or just no.

Re: UFC 117

A lot of little bets on this one:

Dennis Hallman: .5u to win 1.03u
Jon Fitch: .75u to win .68u
Chael Sonnen: .25u to win .91u
Matt Hughes: .5u to win .87u
Rick Story: .5u to win .6u
Clay Guida: .5u to win .55u

Re: UFC 117

This fight reminds me of the movie the great white hype. White guy convincing people he can win, while the black guy just hangs back and dont pay any attention to it. Fight starts, white boy gets haped.

in before; "but his is mma".........

Re: UFC 117

Side note: I can't remember any thread ever going 60 pages BEFORE the event started. This shit is a milestone.

Good catch. I just did a search, and this is already the most popular fight thread in this forum. I think the Lesnar/Cain one will be huge too.

I was actually thinking of that exact analogy the other day. . .
