Great staredown between Anderson and Chael

[Griffin Lambert]

I can't wait. Who are you guys picking?

[Mike Matthews]

Chael just based off the fact that last time Anderson had no answer for Chael's ground game until he caught that triangle at the very end. Last time out Anderson was far from impressive IMO anyway & Chael wants that belt bad. So I think its gonna be a question of who wants to dig deeper. Chael's chin doesn't lead me to think Anderson will score a KO, so I see a submission win or split decision.

[Jameson (Weebo)]

Oh Come on! Really? Hold me back because im gonna start a fight right here at the press conference and for fit the match? Really! What a douche!
I have Chael all the way. That last fight was total domination. yes he got caught. He got Caught!

[Spínola]

Anderson talks a lot about respect and the martial arts way but then he acts like this and he mocks and embarrasses his opponents during his fights. I never liked that, but at the same time if he is using it as a strategy to unsettle his opponents i guess i can't really blame him.

Chael is just saying jokes. Does anybody take him seriously?

I don't know what's up with Anderson, it's hard to say what's real. For example at a certain point in the press conference he starts talking about himself in the third person (it wasn't translated to English that way though), and that is kinda a weird.

I don't know...

Because stare downs never get heated right? lol
Yeaaah....



Anyway, I'm looking forward to this fight.
It's either going to be one of the most brutal fights in ufc history, a one sided beatdown, or a total run around fight everyone boos at....either way I hope he was serious about knocking that ass holes teeth out.
Chael has no respect, and I hope the spider makes him pay for it.

while i think i'm kind of pulling for chael i see silva ending things early

[Phill Schwartz]

Anderson says hes gonna finish in the first round. No way that happens

[Joachim Hoff]

I kinda like Chael after I figured out it was all an act.. (Yeah, I'm slow I know) I mean, I thought it had to be, but when I realized it was an act and saw some interviews, I kinda liked the guy better. I think Anderson is just trying to get in his head. In my ideal world, every fighter would always treat people and other fighters with respect, and always be courteous, but that's not always the case. Chael has said a lot of bad things about Brazil, so I think Anderson is playing along with his game. If Chael can talk shit, then Anderson can pretend to be the avenger, right? I'm pretty damn sure Anderson knows that Chael is just hyping fights..
As for prediction.. If Silva has trained his ass of and has a gameplan to work around Chaels takedowns, then I think it will be a brutal beating, with Anderson emerging the winner. If not, then I think Chaels gonna get him. If Chael gets mount it might lead to a TKO or choke. I don't know who I'm rooting for really, but I think it will be exiting as hell to watch!

[CoreySmith]

Im hoping chael kicks his arse.
Im actually a really big Chael Sonnen fan, especially after seeing on Joe Rogans podcast, hes such an intelligent dude.
I cant help but fear that Anderson is going to win, but im hoping Chael dominates him
I actually like Anderson Silva aswell, but its time for a new champ,hopefully

[Josh Link]

All chael did was finally give anderson a reason to train hard again and get re-focused... He took fights as a joke after about the first year of title defenses. A focused spider is a scary thought for anyone. It's going to be a short night for chael.
