I find the low weight classes really fun to watch for nothing more than the comedy of dwarf jokes all night.

Should of retired 3/4 years ago, simply was not training like he used to and definitely was declining physically

Toss up between him and Hendo for me as the GOAT with Silva & GSP right behind them and Bones Jones quickly moving up the boards

A bit overrated.

31-4 in unregulated fights

4-3 in regulated fights

I don't care what anyone says if Hendo beats Bones he is the GOAT period. I don't care if Anderson or GSP win out their careers and I know Anderson beat Hendo but for what he has done P4P Hendo would have to be my greatest.

Guida is all pre fight hype. He's literally one of the most boring fighters on the roster. I think him not having his hair fly around makes you realize who painful it is to watch him.

SeanTaylorRIP · 06-22-2012, 10:13 PM

Kenflo stop trying to sell this fight Guida is embarrassing. I hate watching him fight.

SeanTaylorRIP · 06-22-2012, 10:31 PM

Dana Tweets:

"I thought it was impossible for this fight to suck. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!"

"First time I have ever seen Guida get boo'd out of the building. I am booing too!!"

"Crowd went from Guida fans to Maynard fans!!!"

"Maynard won that easy!!!! Wasn't that close. HORRIBLE fight!"

It was horrible it wasn't footwork i hate how they act like Guida was doing something. He was literally just running away every time Mayard got close. Nto even circling but literally running laps around the octagon. I felt like I was watching flag football.

Finally redemption for Pettis, Danzig, Nate Diaz, and many others victims to the Guida BS. Send him to the undercard please. Even though I find Dominick Cruz's movement boring at least he uses it to strike and never flat out runs like Guida did. At least we didn't see Clay n Pray this fight. They should do Guida vs Condit next in a breakdance battle.

Sonnen's best chance was to get in Silva's head and get him to get reckless.
Hmm....

fenikz · 07-03-2012, 10:12 PM

Silva by 1st round TKO

thefalconer · 07-03-2012, 11:07 PM

me love stats.

Bert Macklin · 07-04-2012, 12:16 AM

Sonnen by round 3 TKO via GNP.

nepg · 07-04-2012, 11:29 AM

This fight is going to be nothing like the first one. Anderson isn't going to let Chael get into his game.

Chael already has his game running.
He trolled Anderson so hard he is retaliating now and I think it could get Anderson to slip up.
Remember, Sonnen rocked him good the first fight on the feet.

thefalconer · 07-04-2012, 02:42 PM

i spent a good part of my night last night watching and listening to everything chael sonnen. his podcast with joe rogan was great. i think silva will be fine and take care of him by round 3.

josh07039 · 07-04-2012, 03:04 PM

I just dont understand the overall opinion about this fight. What has changed in this fight that wont make it largely a matter of Anderson's takedown defense? How is Anderson now going to be able to stuff Chael's takedowns for five rounds? In listening to what Vinny Magahales has been saying about how he has helped Chael in the grappling department, it seems like he helped chael in some really fundamental ways as far as grappling is concerned. Then again, it has been a consistent problem for him over his whole career. Basically I get a pick for Anderson by submission, not by knockout. I cant imagine silva staying off his back.

If anything, he's playing right into Sonnen's hands. As a huge Silva fan, I absolutely shuddered at this clip+the other things Silva has been saying. I would not be surprised at all if Sonnen wins.

That said, I hope Silva knocks his teeth out.

I agree entirely.
If he ditches the normal Silva approach and comes out more careless looking for the big KO, he could get caught himself.

And I hope it's just a good fight.

Wow. That is awesome. Need to favorite bloodyelbow again immediately. I forgot about it altogether after a hardrive wipe. I really do think that Chael should be the favorite, though not by much. Im surprised how few people are picking him.
