UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II - Page 6

Press conference ending was INTENSE, lol cant wait.

Think im going to put my sportsbook roll on Silva.

silva definitely knows how to promote fights in staredowns

I would fake an injury during the next week if I was Sonnen

Punching power and stand up skill is meaninless when he is gonna spend most of the fight on the floor

The fight is gonna air 9am Bangkok Time on Sunday (July 8), my gf birthday is saturday, we are gonna make a small party here and our friends are gonna sleep over to watch the fight in the morning. I already bought the pay-per-view on UFC.TV. Gonna be so fucking epic

You might want to check and see if your internet is fast enough to maintain a decent enough quality stream or that might end up as the wrong type of epic.

dis will be too funny to watch

Nah man, this will be an epic epic match. Cant wait to watch the 'new' Sonnen go toe to toe vs Silva. Yeah Sonnen trained some Jujiutsu but I think Sonnen couldnt wait to face Silva on his feet.

And Sonnen is the better athlete.

Silva will hopefully defeat that foul-mouth. Nah man this fight wont disappoint. Especially when Sonnen finally beats Silva. Sonnen has to have Silva figured out by now. He's been training in Jujitsu, plugging his 'leaks' and prolly studied Silva's game. Also, Sonnen has a great work ethic. One does not simply 'Train in Jiu-jitsu' to a point where it'll do much against a black belt in a few months. Don't forget that Sonnen will not be allowed to use so much testosterone in this fight as he did in the last one, that alone should be a much bigger factor than leakplugging and gamestudying.

Well yeah. But some knowledge of what to do and what not to do against Silva is a big big improvement for him this time around. And these are elite professional fighters I am pretty sure Sonnen learned, absorbed and incorporated a whole lot of Jiujitsu technics the whole time before the fight this weekend.

And for the testosterone thing, yeah I agree. But who knows, Sonnen might not need a whole lot this weekend.

Definitely a tough fight. I think Silva's mindset coming in this fight would be something like if he catches Sonnen with an arm bar, he wont wait for a tap but to break that arm right away. Or kick one of his knee caps off given the first chance to do it.

Once Chael gets up in Anderson's face and slaps that ugly boxing style on his ass, followed by a take down, it will be all over for Anderson.

Anderson already said he's 100% healthy for this fight, so there will be no excuses to why he does poorly in a win, or does poorly in a loss this time.

Or kneeing Sonnen's face head on while he attempts to take Silva down. All of this in the first round. Silva will attempt to cripple Sonnen as soon as possible. Yes cripple.

Sure. But it will be not that easy for Sonnen. Both fighters trained really hard. I hope he gets thru the first round. I just loooove how releeeeentleeeessss Sonnen is.
