I just don't get these betting lines @ all. You are basically saying that AS has higher expectation to win fighting the whole fight off his back. OR they think that in the few moments that the fighters are on their feet, AS is gonna land a knock out blow. A certainly think a KO is more realistic than a sub off the back. And AS is the most talented striker ever. He can do it. I just don't think he is a 2:1 fav.

If Anderson didn't get that flash sub last fight, chael would clearly be the betting fav.

Bingo.

Maybe Anderson was really injured that fight, I don't know, but I watched a guy who repeatedly got taken down with relative ease.

I think Chael works on his BJJ like a mad men after getting tapped. It would be spectacular if Silva tapped him again but I don't see that happening.

Sonnen, because there's little reason to believe Anderson has dramatically improved his take down defense in his late 30s. And who knows? After getting subbed for I don't know how many times, Sonnen might have actually looked into developing basic sub defense in the mean time.

If you followed MMA you'd know why?

Hard not to like sonnen at the price. His takedowns/cardio aren't gonna have devolved. How does silva keep this standing long enough? Sonnen is relentless with takedowns and goes for them immediately. Sonnen by decision or silva by sub or flash ko

Silva is motivated and wasn't tested prior to that fight. Talking about retiring and boxing. He is focused and I see him winning again.

Anybody in Vegas who is interested in going to this, I bought a ticket but had something come up so unfortunately I have to bail on it.

Willing to sell for below face value, face is like $425, willing to field offers. My friend in Vegas (2p2er) is going to the fight and you will be able to pick it up from him.

Silva didn't want Chael to have shot at title again. Wouldn't sign off for the fight until after White flew to Brazil for the presser.

Dana White:

Quote:

"Yeah, (Chael knew)," White said. "He knew there was no fight. (What Chael said) was true, absolutely true. We went down there to make that fight. We set up a press conference, and I had to get it done."

and no, when I said the full fight was available on netflix, I said instantly. I don't even know how this disc thing works. I used to have the brazilian netflix though, and my subscription is off atm, so I don't know if it's a global thing or not. but i'm sure I did watch the fight instantly.
there are also some belfort and some machida fights.

It aired on youtube live at 2pm est. The moment it finished it became like a normal video that you could pause, forward, rewind.

Sonnen was caught jucing and had to serve a suspension. That is the main reason there was not an immediate rematch. You can't duck someone who is not even licensed.
