Who saw the weigh in??? Tomorrow night is gonna be fucking amazing!
I wonder if they'll let what Anderson did slide. At most it would be a small fine from the commission, right?
I like both fighters. I want Chael Sonnen to win tomorrow night though. I doubt Anderson will have any punishment for what he did except maybe a talk and warning to not do it again from Dana.
I love how Anderson is all about the respect, yet he can shoulder someone in the face at a weigh in. 99% of people that hate Chael Sonnen just cant seem to understand he has two seperate personalities. Most fighters do. I personally think hes hilarious and very intelligent.
Dont get me wrong I dont dislike Anderson, im a fan of both guys.
I think Anderson will most likely win the fight, but im hoping Chael can come away with the win.
I got Chael by arm triangle.
Chael is so up in Andersons head he just build an addition!! Science!
if you didnt order this fight by noon go fuck your self!
He shouldn't be fined. It's all about promotion, he just got a lot more people to want to watch the fight tomorrow night. "Anderson, a respectful guy, did something like that, oh wow he must mean business, i better watch that." Right?
It was probably just a stunt to get the gambler to raise their bets
This is what happens when an American Asshole insults an entire country. They get their Drago. Only unlike Apollo Creed... Sonnen is very real.
That was crazy..part of me is worried for Chael's health and part of me wants to see him bring that belt back to Oregon..can..not..wait..
And it looked like Anderson said to something to Chael in his ear right before, I wonder what he said!?
I'm rooting for Chael, but I can't pick a winner Andy is the best ever. If Chael wins though I think it will be really good for the sport. He will promote the hell out of the UFC. If he keeps winning and talking shit he could become a real celeb not just an MMA one.
No. Physically striking someone at the weigh in is bullshit and he deserves to be fined.
If that was Chael who struck Anderson, I can guarantee you Silva and his crew would do everything within his power to get the fight called off and have him fined/suspended/whatever, and all of Silva's fanboys would be crying about what a scumbag move it is.
Chael has been working his jitz game with vinny hasn't he?
I am not from Oregon and I am fan of Chael Sonnen. Don't act like his shit talking and hyping hasn't made you more juiced for this fight, because it sure has for me! He brings attention to the sport, he doesn't need to be a fucking road scholar about it. Ask Chael, "What do you do for a living?" and I am almost positive he will say, " I beat mother-fuckers up..and occasionally commit realtor fraud (just a joke, calm down)." I am tired of the WWE comparison, these guys fight for real and deal with some major injuries (often really expensive, though now covered by the UFC) where they don't fight for months to get paid a fraction of what even hockey players make. To loop them in with juiced up, body building actors just because they chose to promote a fight that doesn't involve weekly bro hugs and 900 twitter post saying, "It's a huge honor to fight blah blah and I respect them so much as a fight and a dad and whatever." Sometimes it is just bad ass to watch two people fight that just hate each other and a little "WWE" isn't hurting this sport, because at the end of the day the fight is real and the training is real.
I think Chael is an an interesting and great person, and I hope he wins. He's way more real than any other fighter (amazing how some people see it totally opposite).
No way Chael's Jiu jitsu will have any effect. His grappling skills will not match Silva. He can only smash him from the top position for 5 rounds or nothing else. I'm worried Silva will arm bar him and break his arm (or heal hook), not just win the fight.
Chael has certainly got Silva out of his norm. My guess is that if Anderson empties the tank early trying to beat the snot out of Da Gansta, he better finish him or it will turn into a grueling ground and pound demonstration with a TKO to boot.
To get everybody ready for tonight! Their first fight!!!! I'm hoping Chael smashes Silva!

Personally, I think that fight was a robbery. The ref called the match way too soon. He was still defending, arms up and fully conscious. There was no reason to stop that fight when they did.
he was done your out of your mind
Yeah I think the stoppage was the right decision, as much as I wanted Chael to win u could tell that knee and the follow up punches was it.
Major bummer that Chael didn't recover from that knee :(
Silva rubbing the vasoline on himself, putting his fingers in Chael's face and grabbing the shorts just pissed me off.
as much as i dislike Jon Jones, i really want him to drop down and fight Silva at a catch-weight or something lol
Silva was scared, so obvious he was rubbing vasoline on his body...even so much so that they had to rub it off him before the fight, Chael looked great, now andy cant say that his rib was why he got taken down, Chael took a fresh 100% anderson silva down at his own will and held him there the whole time, Makes me think munoz will have a great chance agaist silva. Obv im a Sonnen fan lol. Anderson is a great champ but the vasoline, grabbing shorts and sholder bump at the weigh ins..theres no excuse for that, talking shit is one thing but to try to cheat and sucker shot an opponent is un called for, And just to throw this out there Id love to see Silva vs Munoz and Sonnen vs Belfort!!
Pretty sure Sonnen had a type of body lock during the first round takedown. Did u see silva had lockdown and attempted the fat whip ? He did a good job of not taking much damage. He also stuffed 3 for 3 takedown attempts in the second round
Shows just how slick Anderson is fake the illegal knee right into the dam sternum! Stopped Sonnen right in his tracks. I knew that spinning elbow looked stupid when they were working it at the open work out...

Check out that angle looks like Silva may have even tripped Sonnen after that elbow attempt.
I agree with you. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a "robbery" but Chael was definitely covering up and considering the magnitude of the fight I would have liked yves lavigne to let it go a little longer. I only counted 2 strikes on the ground that really landed cleanly. I'm sure both fighters would have wanted it to go a little longer, Silva would have had his chance to really pound Sonnen like he wanted and Sonnen would have had an opportunity to perhaps survive... win win. As a fan who looked forward to this fight more than any other fight in the 6 years I've been watching UFC, and who paid $55 to watch it, I felt the stoppage was a little anti-climactic. But oh well, I guess that's just the fight game. I just wish the fighters could have a clause in their contract that says "I assume the risk of the ref allowing it to go another few seconds before stopping the fight against me." But I'm sure there's a slew of liability reasons why they don't do that. Plus I'm sure every fighter would sign it, so it would just make the whole sport a little less safe. Anyway, I'm rambling at this point, but there's my 2 cents.
it looked worked
chael fell and sat there waiting for silva to come in, like it was in the script and when they showed the close up you can see that none of the punches landed
very disappointing to me
all the hype was just to increase sales and it worked, cause i bought into it
With the first angle when he threw the knee all you saw was Silvia's back. I thought it was to the face and wondered why the ref didn't step in. Pin point accuracy by silva and great eyes the ref had to notice it was legal
Chael sat on his ass, and gave up.
You're not intelligently defending when you curl into a fetal position and put your hands on your head.
He gave up.
This was more or less what was expected to happen, he charged out in the first round ready to go, and he didn't finish it, and in the second round he couldn't pull off his take downs, which was his only real weapon to beat Anderson.
Take him to the ground and whale on him till the next round.
I haven't heard a peep from Chael about this loss, and you damn well he would be the first person aside from his die hard fans to jump out and say how Anderson cheated some how.
