Kind of amusing to see someone talk so much trash, and then look so shook out there.


Gotta get a gif of Silva swag standing over Sonnen with Sonnen backing away on the ground.

LOL some Champion. Even if the knee is clean the few things Silva did before that were very sketch, very intentional, screw that.
Do u watch ufc?? Like every fight the ref multiple times tells fighters to stop holding shorts or to let go of the cage. No. 2 on ur list isnt even discussion worthy.

As for the knee. It wasnt to the head so wasnt illegal. Thats like someone hitting a leg kick and saying hey that was close to hittin him in the balls so it was nearly illegal.

With regards 1. Definately a questionable move but having vaseline on his body isnt a deciding factor in a fight vs a guy who main goes after his legs. Plus it was wiped off so wasnt a factor in the fight.

Sonnen talked alot and his fanboys got excited but it now looks like his failed drugs test after the 1st fight had alot to do with his performance in the first fight.

what is it about anderson's punches that seem to immobilize his opponents? they seem like light jabs but they leave his opponents devastated

LOL at Anderson bowing to Steven Seagal as he leaves the Octagon.

Prime Fedor still the GOAT.

stiff knee to the chest it looked like, could have winded him or something (or just really [censored] hurt)

but massive lol on losing bc he fell trying a spinning backfist and put himself in an awful position, was doing pretty well until then

But the 1st round went just like the last fight?

Nah can't get too mad about UFC, more disappointed it ended so quickly like that. Seemed to me the fight was about to hit its stride and get good.

What's the over under on a Silva Jones match?

Kudos to Silva, ended as I thought it might. Looking for a longer and better fight though.

So someone fails a drug test after a fight in which he dominated for 5 rounds. Then the next fight he only dominates 1 round. Seems to me like the failing the drug test could have been a factor in 1st fight.

It's not like he fell off a cliff in the 2nd round he just did something really stupid. I don't know if steroids make you smarter but if they do you might have a case here.

No he failed on a Booker T spinarooni maneuver, fell down, was completely screwed from there and got bashed. O you mean Fedor don't you.

Yes, it could have been a better fight. Too bad that Sonnen was never a real opponent to Silva.

Watch Sonnen vs Bisping which was sonnens last fight. Sure bisping is an underrated fighter but you will see that Sonnen is nothing compared to what he was in fight 1 vs silva.

As for Steroids making you smarter. Im pretty sure the extra fatigue and tiredness of a non-juicing Sonnen will make his decision making worse.
