Silva is AWESOME and a LEGEND....but he's been a straight ***** when it comes to both fights. It's wildly clear he wants no part of Sonnen.
The "didn't deserve a rematch" was full of LOLs. I mean, Sonnen clearly dominated the fight and got caught in the final mins (totally his fault for being lazy when fatigued & Silva deserved the win obv) but this might be the most deserved rematch in the history of fights. All this hype and anticipation validates that.
He obv hates him (understandable) but it's a horrible match-up and maybe he's more concerned about legacy at this point.
I've watched a bunch of UFC fights but never ordered one at my place. This will be the first.
Ill silva's defense if you really personally disliked someone and he did nothing but disrespect you. After you beat them would you say they dont deserve a rematch.
Obviously i agree with you that its obvious a rematch should take place but i dont think Silva being scared was the reason he wasnt offering the rematch.
As for Silva trying to get Chael to hit him. When Chael said the thing about silva trying to bait him into hitting him to get a DQ, I took it with a grain of salt as it is totally in line with the thrash talk Sonnen has been doing for months about Silva not wanting to fight him again. My view hasnt changed after the thing at the weigh-in.
Chael winning 2mrw would be awesome if it was a good fight and would set up another rematch to complete the trilogy.
