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?

[bagley920]

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.

[pillowPANTS]

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

[bagley920]

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

[Flash]

I think GSP would be a good matchup and he has a real solid wrestling base wich seems to work well against silva , chael really controlled him in the first round ( of there last fight ) but just didn't shell out any damage , I don't think he will get another rematch in the near or even distant future with is dissapointing because I think if he just worked a little more when they were on the ground I think he could beat him

( don't hate silva or anything it just gets a bit boring when there is no one that threatens him at 185 and I don't see him moving up )

[natehate]

nick diaz is calling out silva, he wants to move to 185
he'll get destroyed

[Flash]

First round

[bagley920]

I can't stand Diaz or his brother. There is a big difference between hyping the fight and just simply being a thug

[Flash]

Totally agree
Was in my element watching the Nate Diaz fight against Rory McDonald , Rory tossed him around like a rag doll

Rory is a beast , can't wait for the bj penn fight , I was really surprised BJ took that fight because the only one I see benefiting is Rory

[bagley920]

Sadly, the BJ Penn of late is going to get destroyed. I hope the younger version shows up. Baby J is a perfect example of hype without thugness

[Flash]

Yea Bj back in the day was unreal

[bagley920]

The only thing unreal about him now is his balance. Other than that, he's been taking some beatings

[Lucifer]

I actually like the Diaz brothers, they seem like genuinely good guys with anxiety issues that aren't cut out for the limelight, but are class acts when they aren't in focus. They have both had their hickups, but I like them.

[natehate]

cant stand nate diaz
dont mind nick
but both are great fighters
nates really improved in the last year or so
still a knob thou

I don't care who Silva fights now, just glad he beat Sonnen… again!  Man, that guy talked up a storm but to get submitted then a TKO... that's not even close!  His style is horrible and his striking on the ground must be terrible?

His style makes him the second best in the world in that weight class..

But his ground and pound could need some practice, it is really weird that someone that is as strong as Sonnen can have such weak GnP.

[bagley920]

As long as he doesn't try to throw spinning back fists he will be fine haha

[Hemi]

There is no such thing as second best in the UFC! You're either the champ or you're not… the rest is irrelevant.  Steve De Silva (BJ Penn's original BBJ Coach) use to tell me this and I think most fighters would agree.
