Meh, Sonnen is one of the top wrestlers in the game right now, and Silva's takedown defence isn't amazing.
Still, Silva could very well end this fight with a flying knee 5 seconds in.

the fight between Evans and shogun will be taking place next year cuz of shoguns surgery
he should win but...from his last 3 fights...i say its very possible he will get a lose...or hell do what he did in thos 3 fights..win the first round and run away for the next 2 rounds for the winQuote:

what do you guys think of Jon Jones
ufc this weekend tune in
:9~Forgot all about the Vladamir fight last weekend. Still pissed I missed that card. Gomi/Akiyama/Jones. My boys told me about a nes sick lightweight BJJ fighter with crazy transitions. Not sure what his name is though.Quote:

I've been a fan of Roy Nelson from watching the IFL. I'm interested to see what he'll do against Dos Santos. If he wins he has a potential chance to fight Brock for the title. As much as I like him, he's not ready for that. Dos Santos is a beast and I expect him to take the win in this fight.
^^^^^
Not sure how that random smiley got there??

Once machida, page, shogun, sugar are all done sorting this out I'd like to see him fight one of those dudes
Is that thing still happening this weekend........the one where Chael Sonnen (R) dies on PPV? And Fitch/ Alves will be the shit, assuming Alves makes weight

the spider did not look good today. jon fitch did though.
^^ i've been reading that he sustained a pretty severe rib injury less than a week before the fight. he did look shitty but he showed ALOT of grit by hanging in there and getting the submission. sonnen is a faggot for acting like he didn't tap, though.
silva was shit..i used to like him...but his last 5 fights were bad..this time he had to fight instead of running...and for me he lost..if it wasnt for the submission....i have a feeling he will get a loss next fight..his skills have fallen...and this fight proved it
It's too bad that you were right about Alves not making weight. That fight was a 3 round snooze fest. I hate Fitch for always being boring. He's purely a grinder who gets you down and does basically nothing with his position.Quote:

The guy had a bruised rib and went up against an elite wrestler for 4 rounds, got his ass beat and still had the wherewithal to sink in the triangle. Give him some credit. Fights fans are so fickle.
Chael Sonnen is a real dude too. He had the balls to talk so much shit against a guy who could make him look foolish and he brought it too him for 4 1/2 round until his achilles heel showed up.
And some people called him a can.
trust... i know mma...silva has fallen in skill...he used to be fun to watch ..his last couple of fights...he would kill the 1st round..and then just dodge and run from his opponent the rest of his match...even Dana got on him about it ..this fight he couldn't run...and or wanted to prove something...because all of the shit talking from sonnen. he was throwing a shit load of wild punches...where are his kicks....he used to have great kicks...know he dosnt use his legs
and i ant saying he didnt deserve the win... i was saying if that submission didnt happen..and it came down to the judges...he would of lost if it was silva from 2 years ago..the fight wouldn't of lasted as long as it did
UFC 118 can penn get revenge?
he can do it
118 looks like a good one
yeah I wonder how lights out is going to do I mean i can see him winning by a ko but I can also see him getting his ass kicked
I give him some slack because I do believe he was injured and the evidence seems to bear it out. Even Sonnen said he believed Silva was injured at the press conference after the fight.Quote:

As for the Sonnen fight, if anything he threw too many kicks and knees for fighting a wrestler, but also connected on some. At the very least of what I remember, he threw a spinning back kick that connected, a sweet leg kick that connected, a jumping body kick, and another flying knee that Chael caught. He was definitely mixing his shit up in this fight, only he barely had the opportunity to do so because of the takedowns.
What was surprising is that Sonnen actually caught him a couple of times which is unheard of. If anything that's the greatest evidence that Silva is beginning to fall off. Him getting mauled by a great wrestler really isn't that unexpected.
True enough. We have no idea what kind of shape Toney is coming to this fight in. Couture's boxing and stand up are fucking bunk and his chin is shot, if he trades for even 5 seconds, Tony is going knock to his ass out.Quote:

next randy should box lights out
randy get killed
Penn is shot. Diaz was nice and Louzon fuckin murdered that dude. Toney got embarrassed.
Penn is shot? LOL just LOL He still beats the other 99% of LW's in the world.
And hes not even in shape, he just does mma for a hobby
I didnt see that Toney fight how badly did he get beat and why did he lose?
I always thought that if a boxer was just adequate at defending himself on the ground he would destroy MMA.
No. Randy took him down in 30 seconds and pounded toney. He didnt even get a hit in the whole fight. Ended 3 minutes the first round. REAR NAKED CHOKE
