SaintPeter5858 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 IN Silva vs Sonnen Part 2, I'd pick Sonnen to duplicate his victory 1 Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR tamago Posted June 30, 2012 MODERATOR Share Posted June 30, 2012 Silva versus Sonner this July 7, who's your pick? Can Chael Sonner repeat his achievement that defeated Silva for the first time?You must have been watching a hallucinogen-laced version. Didn't Chael tap to Silva?

BIZMANfan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 How come very few MMA fans talk about our very own URCC and the Guam-based PXC which usually features so many Filipino fighters? Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 ^IMHO, it boils down to simple lack of exposure. URCC and PXC don't get as heavily promoted media wise, and there aren't as many channels (not referring just to TV but in a general sense) from where one can catch their events. Quote Link to comment
chromedome Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 i'm a big fan of anderson silva. hope he wins again this sunday.Wasn't Chael found positive with steroids during their last fight? or was this all crap? i'm also waiting for the forrest griffin / tito ortiz undercard fight. hope forrest kicks his a$$.any Quote Link to comment
CorpseGrinder Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 UFC 148 Picks Anderson Silva - but Chael beating Spider will be awesome too Forrest GriffinCung LeDemian Maia Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 ^ Ditto first, third and fourth picks here. Don't really have a pick for the Tito-Forrest fight. Watched the pre-fight presser and countdown shows earlier today and am still not a Chael fan by any stretch of the imagination. IMHO, the real danger to Silva in this fight is becoming too emotional. The last time Anderson fought angry was against Demian Maia, and we all know how that went. Quote Link to comment
chromedome Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 In terms of striking, Chael would have the advantage. I've heard he's also training for ground defense.Yikes. I think Silva would have his hands full on this fight.btw, do you guys know any other channels where I could watch this on sunday? Just found out our balls channel isn't available anymore. (crappy cable company has epic timing) Is this viewable on studio 23 live? Quote Link to comment

ADAM Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Great fight card, however things would turn out. Sonen vs Silva could go either way. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Anderson Silva - greatest of all time... Period! Can't believe he got the bad blood (sort of) out of his system that easily though. Let's see what happens in the post fight presser. Edited July 8, 2012 by joseph1 Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 my picks: SilvaGriffinCoteMaia i just missed out on cote on that card.. great main event! i'm just glad tito ortiz retired. he simply doesn't have it anymore. good career tito! Quote Link to comment

MODERATOR tamago Posted July 8, 2012 MODERATOR Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sonnen duplicated his v̶i̶c̶t̶o̶r̶y̶ loss Quote Link to comment
wendy testicleger Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nabitin ako sa laban ni Spider and Sonnen. Gusto ko sana uling makitang mabugbog ng 5 rounds si Silva, tapos pag 1 second na lang, isusubmit naman niya si Sonnen. Quote Link to comment
adriane888 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I think the turning point of the fight was when Sonnen missed that spinning back fist which caused him to lose his balance.oo nga.. simple pagkatalo nya.. dominating pa naman sya sa 1st round... talagang special lang tong si anderson silva... bwenas pa din...

El Chapo Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 masyado gigil si sonnen, naging reason un para macapitalize ni silva ung error nya. Quote Link to comment
chromedome Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 nice win for silva. it really humbled chael that time. too bad it didn't last the whole 5 rounds. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm laughing my head off at the fans who are so eager to make excuses for Chael (no I'm not referring to any of you, check the official UFC website). He made a mistake, got hit with a big knee to the chest that took out a lot of wind, then got hit by another right that put him down. No defense after that. Yeah, I would have liked a later stoppage too, but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment
kuya willie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 rashad evans has plans of going to middle weight to challenge andesron silva!!rashad evans challenges anderson silva Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ^ Would like to see him beat guys like Munoz, Bisping, Belcher, Belfort, Wanderlei, Lombard (?) or Palhares first. Any two will do. He's coming of a loss from Jon Jones so an immediate title shot doesn't seem viable. Bones vs Anderson sounds really interesting, but I'm with the crowd that says it doesn't make as much sense at this point given Silva's age and that Jones' frame and age may prove too much. Or maybe I'm just being a biased Jon Jones fan, either way, the Rashad fight sounds more appealing. Quote Link to comment
