    I don't typically get hyped for your average UFC card, but this has the making to be a truly spectacular fight. I'm hoping I can round up some people to catch it at a local watering hole.

      There was 8000 people at the freaking weigh in. Crazy!

        Randomly saw Sonnen at LAX last Monday.  Will be cheering for him!

          The fight ended as I thought it would but it could easily be argued that that knee to the chest was a glancing blow to the face and thus illegal. Either way, Sonnen was stupid for throwing a spinning back fist and falling down. Not his style!

            Totally not his style. I think the thigh have have contacted Sonnens face but thats not gonna cause damage. I believe fight was stopped early like ALOT of them are but that is Chaels fault for just curling up in the fetal position and letting Anderson throw at will. Very disappointing fight after all that hype

              After the 1st round, I was thinking this could be the first fight all over again but I think Sonnen got too cocky.

              I was also very disappointed with Kim going down with an injury. I think if he could have kept things standing, he would have easily won that fight.

              Next up is Munoz vs Weidman. Not really excited about this one, hence why it's free. Munoz could be close to a title shot if he wins this one convincingly.

                I was most dissapointed with Silva when he a) tried to grease up before the fight and b) kept holding on to Sonnens shorts.

                  Sonnen slipped and fell and it was over, but on a good/normal day he could tear Silva a new hole, easy.

                    Def looks bad on Silva for holding shorts. Not so sure he "tried" to grease up. Really looks like he wiped his eyes and got vas on his hands and no where else to wipe to me. But you never know man, short hold looked bad. Maybe he is turning into a lil cheater like GSP

                    As for Chael being able to beat on Anderson any day of the week, i disagree. He doesnt do allt of "beating" on anyone. Dont get me wrong, he is a great fighter/athlete but he isnt know for really punishing anyone. More of a takedown and control fighter. He does try and land shots tho but usually doesnt do a whole lot of damage. Look at the first fight. Silva didnt even really look like he was in a fight

                      True that, Chael does have the power though, so weird that he does not get the damage output other similar fighters have, with a more devestating GnP, he could do far better (or, hard to do "far better" being the second best in the world.. but hey) Imo.

                      Seize the day and don't you cry.

                        I'm not a big fan of either one of them, Silva seems smug and Sonnen needs to be a WWE guy, so I'm glad this one is over. Nothing ever really lives up to the hype.

                          Since I'm oldskool, I miss the good old day with Fedor being silent/expressionless over these days and the endless banter pre-fight. But I guess they have to sell this to beer drinking americans.. 😛

                            Yes and no. Somewhere in the middle is fine with me. Sonnen is just stupid and a little mental if you ask me.

                              Well, the character he plays sure is, but I'm not so sure the Sonnen behind the mask is stupid or mental, he actually seems very sharp, good at timing jokes etc. It just gets a bit much some times. For me, they could drop the entire "beef"-stuff altogether.

                                The sad part is, that's how he makes his money. Most of the top guys get PPV cuts and I've never seen anyone sell like Sonnen does so I'm sure that's in his contract.

                                  He def sounds like everything out of his mouth is straight from Vince Mcmahon but it is fairly entertaining. Its also the reason he got a rematch so quickly. Make the fans wanna see it and it will happen.

                                  Also i kinda like the "beefs" between guys. Im not a huge fan of them smiling and hugging in the middle of the match. I dint wanna see guys "coast" through the fight. I wanna see them a lil angry and "giver", u know?

                                    On another note, I lost some respect for Forest Griffin. He should never have ran out of the cage and then come back and proceed to make a joke of Tito's last chance to thank the fans.

                                      Hahaha. Forrest was pissed that he didnt finish Tito i think. And apparently Dana told/yelled get back in the fekking ring NOW lol. Not sure if it was meant to be disrespectful but probably not needed for Titos last in-octagon interview thats for sure

                                        Hector Lombard was a bit of a disappointment then ? Who is left for silva to fight ? I'd love to see Vitor Belfort get another shot really think he would give a real good fight

                                          GSP has to be next, nobody else unless he goes up to 205
