Anyone pumped for this stacked fight card?

I hope JDS TKO's Big Country. I think he is a very good striker, but his ground game may be tested in this fight.

Matt Hughes still fights??

Also Silva use to be my favorite fighter but after his last uhhh display....I hope he gets his cocky ass handed to him and gets pummeled. I doubt that will happen though.

yes i am! i predict Silva winsin the second round with a KO! Sonnen is going down! hopefully Silva doesn't act all cocky again like he did against Demian Maia.

I hear ya. Seeing Silva dance like a monkey pissed me off. I wasn't a big fan of his, but after that I hated him lol.(probably because I paid money to see that card)...I will **** brix if Sonnen pulls off a win. However, his sub defense is just terrible, so if he gets it to the ground he will probably get caught.

Matt Hughes shouldn't be fighting anymore imo. he's a bit washed up compared to the fighters out there.

Yea that's why I'm surprised he is still fighting. He should be just coaching and training the younger guys.

Yea he was legendary at his time, but younger competition is coming in all the time.

agreed. Matt Hughes should just becoaching the new fighters.

Don't know anything about Sonnen's technique but since him and Anderson are both obnoxiously pompous I'll be pleased with however losses.Sajo7

Sonnen is the P4P best trash talker in the world. I think he may be getting a cut of the PPV sales lol. I will be watching from Buffalo Wild Wings, so it would be awesome to see the all the Silva nut huggers freak out if Sonnen wins. But to be honest, I kinda want to see an epic KO from Silva.

Indeed. His last showing was quite ridiclous. My girlfriend who was just getting into MMA thought it was absurd. I wonder what Dana White's reaction will be if Silva does it again.

Boring card and Silva's going to kill Sonnen.

I hope Silva knocks Sonnen the **** out. He needs to pay for all his trash talking. He isn't even that great of a fighter.

Clay Guida ftw! He's a beast, Silva will win and hopefully Matt Hughes don't know the rest of them XD4NTESINF3RNOX

I will cheer for Guida!

Oh wow, I didn't realize the card is USA vs Brazil. I hope Sonnen talked enough smack that Silva will unleash a fury we've never seen before and finish the guy. Lol. Can't wait to see all fights.

I can't find the video, but I remember Dana saying he would fire him. However, this would be a terrible business decision IMO, and Dana was probably just so pissed he let that slip.

I saw that interview you're talking about. I agree with what you said. Mr. White does exagerrate from time to time.

I would like to see Anderson go up a Weight Class.

Darn YOU, Anderson Silva! :x

You love bumping your thread up Mr.Maniking52. :P Anyway.... rematch! remach!

Rematch, indeed. Wikipedia says thatChael Sonnen landed a record 289hits during the fight. I was just thinking, if he'd pulled the same thing Silva did, and just danced around the ring for the final round, he'd have won.

I want to know what dana was telling silva after the fight. And does anyone really think he'd let one of his biggest money makers go down after all the drama? I dunno, seems kinda fishy to me.

I don't think there should be an instant rematch. Sure Sonnen was winning all the rounds, but in the end he tapped out. There were no controversy or anything even though Sonnen acted at the end. Sonnen got submitted before lots of times, by Damien Maia, Jeremy Horn, and Renato Sobral in the UFC. It was like the Struve vs Moorcraft fight, Moorcraft was dominating until Struve came back and caught him. I want to see Silva vs Belfort next.

I just hope Silva comes through with a spectacular finish, not another silly dance

That's why he destroyed his opponent, right?
