I became a fan of chael "almost" sonnen yesterday, he put the spider's foot back to the ground.

[orionquest]

sayang! sonnen almost had it. hope theres a rematch.

silva though roughed up has managed to stay focused and put that choke.

ive always found silva fights boring but he came up with something out of the blue and got the win. panic button pressed at the right time.

[The_Blade]

it is not just a simple triangle choke, it is the submission of the century. armbar, kneebar, heel lock and choke all in one!

 

nobody asked chael, which part he tapped out. but looks like the arm bar.

i think its amazing how silva avoided being cut from the beatdown he got from sonnen.

silva even cut sonnen from elbows he threw from the bottom. i dont know if sonnen have

pillow-fists or silva just have an iron-chin. sonnen really wanted to finish silva and

if he could have just laid there in the fifth, doing just enough not to be stood up and

avoided being submitted he would have been the new champion. with the trash talking he

did pre-fight, he really did want to make a statement. i dont know if its just me who

noticed it but i find it funny to see silva pretending to be really hurt after the fight

even holding his ribs as if groping in pain then looking at the camera. afterwhich giving

an excuse of a rib injury in the post fight interview for not performing really well.

i'm amazed at someone saying Anderson Silva isn't an exciting fighter... check out his fights before he fought for the UFC, one good example is the Tony Fryklund elbow upercut finish in cagerage man and of course that flying knee VS Carlos Newton in PRIDE

maybe you mean he hasn't been exciting as of late? i'm not Anderson silva's biggest fan bro, but he does have exciting fights man

[maddromeo]

Dont forget the flying scissors heel hook loss to Ryo Chonan!!!

[CorpseGrinder]

i wanna see Jon Jones versus Forest Griffin. tignan natin yung galing nya against former light heavyweight champion.

am i seeing this? bro, you gotta read my post again. no offense meant but you gotta read it again.

 

or better yet, let me elaborate it.

 

i said i find his fights boring. i didnt say he's not an exciting fighter. youre the one who said it. im amazed you interpret my post like that. its different bro, boring fights to exciting fighter?

 

again, i said i find his fight boring. i didnt say he's not an exciting fighter. its my opinion. as a fan i think i have the right to say which fights are boring or not.

 

no need for you to refresh my memory about his fights in pride.

 

cmon man youre putting me in a spot here. i never said it bro. baka magalit mga silva fans.

 

peace out.

When he gets past Forrest, I wanna see 2 matchups lined up for Jonny Bones: James Toney & Rampage. May potential?

^^^ Fun facts there, and I find the one about Sakurai facing Hughes instead of Anderson kinda intriguing. For the longest time, actually. I mean, that's a huge "What if?" in my book.
