Apparantly Sonnen is having a bad weight cut... Oh for sakes don't give me that bullsh*t. He's been trash-talking hm for MONTHS now, the least he can do is make weight. I'm gonna be SO pissed if he doesn't make weight.

Interesting Chael and Ariel interview I just watched, apparently he has been so quiet during the build up recently because he got a phone call from Renzo Gracie who wasn't very happy to him.
In addition he has to loose 20 pounds from when that interview took place. =/ - He said it's under control, but eep...

Not particularly sure, he just said "If you speak to a Gracie you shut up and listen" Call them along with Couture MMA royalty.

Interesting. I love how Chael has all the respect in the world for some people and then absolutely non for others.

Anderson Silva (c) Vs Chael Sonnen - First Round KO
Forrest Griffin Vs Tito Ortiz - Unanimous Decision
Cung Le Vs Patrick Cote - Second Round KO
Dong Hyung Kim Vs Damian Maia - Third Round Submission
Chad Mendes Vs Cody Mckenzie - First Round TKO
I don't see Silva/Sonnen II going like the first fight. At all. I know Anderson seems real pissed and offended with Sonnen's antics over the past few years, and a lot of people expect Anderson to come out furious; but I do not. Sure, Chael is in his head, but Anderson isn't going to lose his cool. I see him finishing Chael in the first, if not, the second round. But, If Chael ends up winning the first two rounds and the fight starts looking like there first, then I don't see Anderson pulling off another last minute sub.
Let's go, Silva!

UFC 148 "SILVA VS. SONNEN II", 7/7/2012 (PPV/FX/Facebook.com Stream) MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas NV
1. Lightweight bout: Rafaello Oliveira vs. Yoislandy Izquierdo 2. Lightweight bout: John Alessio vs. Shane Roller 3. Middleweight bout: Constantinos Philippou vs. Riki Fukuda 4. Lightweight bout: Melvin Guillard vs. Fabrício Camões 5. Lightweight bout: Gleison Tibau vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov 6. Bantamweight bout: Ivan Menjivar vs. Mike Easton 7. Featherweight bout: Chad Mendes vs. Cody McKenzie 8. Welterweight bout: Dong Hyun Kim vs. Demian Maia 9. Middleweight bout: Cung Le vs. Patrick Côté 10. Light Heavyweight bout: Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz 11. Middleweight Championship: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Chael Sonnen
Chael took Silva down almost effortlessly in the first fight so unless Silva worked on nothing but Takedown defense for his whole camp (which obviously he didn't do) I see Chael once again taking Anderson down like he's a little kid.
And while it wasn't quite as drastic as Joe Rogan was acting like it was Chael was hurting Anderson on the feet. You can say Anderson had a broken rib but I don't believe it one bit. The way he was selling the "injury" after the fight looked so phony. I just think Chael was the better fighter that night and took it to Silva like nobody has before. With that said and done I see Chael taking this fight. Its not going to be quite as dominant but I can easily see Chael winning 3 or 4 rounds and taking the decision win. Chaels pillow hands are not going to stop Silva I can guarantee that.

Not particularly sure, he just said "If you speak to a Gracie you shut up and listen" Call them along with Couture MMA royalty. Yeah... apparently, Gracie said: "I just told him that if he kept that trash talking he would be taking the greatness of the task that he had ahead of him," Gracie said. "He is fighting one of the best fighters of our generation, and people would lose the chance to know the real Sonnen, a great athlete who I saw young fighting hard back in the Japan days, building his career as a fierce fighter, a career that ended up turning him into one of the amazing people that populate our great sport". "I just asked him to behave with the greatness of a champion. Many fighters dream with that opportunity, to fight the best and test themselves in the toughest sport that existed. Be great, be bold, be fair, and above all, be honest. Some will love you, others will hate you, but they will know who you really are. Fight this fight in a way that will be unforgettable to those who had the privilege to watch. I won't miss a second of this great match." I hope this 20 pound weight-cut won't be a factor... Chael said it's "not normal", but also that it was under control. Not long to go now - just read that the the weigh-ins are at midnight, BST (...I think that's 7pm for you guys in the States...). Should be interesting.

This is what happens when you trash talk Silva... a simple break down.
Lee Murray- Silva played with that cat until he couldn't stand. Round 1 he could have finished it. But instead he pulled him off the cage and went the rest of the fight making sure Lee couldn't even stand by the end of the fight. Total domination.
Vitor Belfort. Well...more like Vitor ate foot.
Sonnen- made him go to sleep.
The evidence is there.

Anyone listen to Chael on the Joe Rogan Podcast? To be honest...I never really paid much attention to the guy. It's marketing... but I admit I was VERY surprised at the intellectual ability that man (Chael) has. A VERY smart guy..although I do not agree with everything he said (politics) none-the-less a very well spoken and seemingly intelligent individual (although he was fooled and schooled on bigfoot by Rogan). What I mean is If you took all the MMA theatrics out of Chael's game he'd still be intellectually and socially fascinating.
