-All the nonsense against Maia

-Trolls the **** out of everyone with his ability/inability to speak English. And then when hes finally in Brazil, he answers the question in perfect English and makes Soares translate it.

-Sonnen is the American, Silva is the Brazilian. Not surprising that many American fans want to root for their countryman.

-Is outright boring in interviews and hyping up fights. Chael Sonnen gives him such a great feud, yet despite Dana White guaranteeing us that Silva "hates Sonnen" he never shows it whatsoever.
lots of fighters refuse to fight their friends. wandy never fought shogun, koscheck will never fight fitch.

Maia ruined that fight not anderson. Thats why its called 'defending' the belt, its up to the challenger to be the agressor

those are reasons are stupid and not worth addressing

i don't think sonnen is boring. Not the slightest. Since i'm a wrestler myself, i have a bias towards liking that style.

Silva is an arrogant asshat, who wants to give the illusion of not being an arrogant asshat. Thats enough for me not to like him, just like others have a hard time liking bj penn or nick diaz.

I will watch him every time he fights, but don't tell me i have to root for him. Thats plain ******ed.

really?

Soares can gtfo if that isn't a troll to hype the Sonnen rematch.

If he doesn't fight Chael then he needs to vacate and get in line for Jon Jones. Problem being Dana doesn't want to make a Silva-Jones fight.

my gut is that bones would demolish silva, seems to negate reach and quickness advantage and just do most things silva does better. he might still be a little raw tho and obv silva has a shot vs anyone. does anderson have any motivation whatsoever to actually move up other than getting paid 3x as much to fight a weightclass up (prob similar motivation to gsp?). would they ever catchweight gsp/silva? could silva get to like ~180 or does he already struggle enough to get to 185?

it's crazy to me that silva looks the most beatable of jones/gsp/silva/maybe even cruz/aldo.

problem is sonnen needs a perfect fight to win it

if he gets caught either on the feet or on top its over.

I kinda feel like he missed his opportunity for a perfect fight last time and he might not be able to sustain it that long this time around

Nimem -185
Siver +240
Marshall +375
Roop +300
