UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort February 5, 2011 Fight Thread

[dallaskd]

I love how everyone is forgetting a rematch with Sonnen already. Don't get me wrong, a fight with Silva and GSP would without a doubt make history, but there's a guy in Silva's division who was already about to get a rematch. Sonnen has just become my new favorite fighter after seeing Silva destroy the only guy I thought could handle his standup. Sonnen is Silva's kryptonite

Sonnen is facing 20 years in federal prison right now dude lol

[CubanSucks]

wtf whats going on?

[dbreiden83080]

No he cut a deal.. He will not get jail time


Expect him to fight in the late spring or early summer..

[Stringer_Bell]

wtf whats going on?

He's getting a plea deal and his real estate license taken away most likely, no prison.

[dbreiden83080]

wtf whats going on?

Fraud involved with real estate but he cut a deal he will not go to jail...

dana is such a prick

?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

?

he's just a dick man. he's one of those people who refuses to cut people slack in order to stroke his own ego. very insecure imho. a few peeps during the presser asked some borderline dumb questions and he's sees it as an opprtunity to make himself look hard by making someone else look dumb. very unprofessional as well. just do yer job and answer the peoples questions you fuck!!

[dallaskd]

anyone notice dana wearing a shirt that says "dickhouse" at the weigh ins. this sport will never take off with his doing that shit. and get joe rogan out of there too

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

dickhouse is the production company for some MTV shows including jackass
oh and Dana is getting fat :lol

was a good time, good thread. would have been nicer if i got to see the fight, but then again i never realized ufc let espn show live action replays and cover the fight. i will def never pay full price for a fight now. shh i remember after some legendary boxing matches all espn could show were still photographs.

[CubanSucks]

And so begins the Fitch/Penn talk. I'm scared shitless for that fight. I'm not sure if my boy Fitch can take him

[tlongII]

Jones will beat Shogun and he will beat Silva if he fights him. He is physically too much for anyone in his weight class.

[dallaskd]

damn! is this site consistent?

ya man this site is the shit. after every ufc/mma fight they have the videos up in less than 12 hours. alot of times within 1 or two hours after them. and they got a ton of GIFS, interviews, weigh-ins, ect..

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

i had only seen the kick on youtubes, but to see how the whole thing went down...wow spyder is just the best. he looked great out there. when vitor caught the kick with his back/shoulder and took him down he threw a right hand that would have rocked spider bad had it landed. almost like he aimed higher in anticipation of spider getting up real fast but silva's timing even when on his back is world class.
GSP dominates the octagon the same way as silva, less the taunting and drama. to see them go at would be the best event in ufc history imo

[mystargtr34]

LOL

Okay

Exaggerating obviously... but you really think GSP can put on 30 pounds of muscle and still be himself? Im skeptical.. he would lose his speed and athleticism advantage he has had over pretty much every opponent.

[dallaskd]

better quality.. (wait like a min or so to buffer)


http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_UFC_126_Silva_Belfort_Anderson_Silva_vs_Vitor_Be? vid=10016505&tid=100

theres like 3 videos of each fight so fish around to find the quality you like

[polandprzem]

wtf 30 pounds?


he needs about 10pds of body mass. IMO he will not get higher then that for his first MW battle

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

after silva beats up GSP the haters are gonna insist he move up and go fight the LHW champ and then when he does that they will insist he fight brock and so on, and so on. i almost hope the fight doesnt even happen

[dbreiden83080]

And so begins the Fitch/Penn talk. I'm scared shitless for that fight. I'm not sure if my boy Fitch can take him

Some scary moments but Fitch will win..

[dbreiden83080]

GSP trains at around 190 right now. If he is around 200 pds for the Silva fight i think he is big enough to win. The fight will be about pace, timing and cardio. Silva is not good when he is forced to fight out of his rythm that is how Sonnen made him look bad. Vitor is a great striker but with no threat of the TD Silva just fights with ease on the feet. Sonnen was actually outboxing Silva because the TD threat had Silva on his heels so much.. GSP has all the tools to win the biggest fight of all time..

He's a hard-headed A-Hole. The fight business is rough and he kinda has to be.

UFC and Dana wants to push GSP vs Silva fight

But it's bad timing for GSP. He still needs to fight Jake and then start to prepare for the fight with much much bigger opponent. Crazy and risky for him

[polandprzem]

You've heard at the presser what Silva said of him fighting GSP?

That it's gonna be fun and he will throw kicks and GSP will be flying all over the cage.

That was the sense of Anderson response.


btw. Do you think GSP will get scared at some moment b4 fight?



Jeez yet again GSP got to fight the hardest fight in the WW now and also with knowing that he after winning got to move up division and face the P4P KING !

[Stringer_Bell]

fuAUG5_rahw

Jones is saying all the right things, it's hard to root against him but I really am hoping Shogun can defend the belt. If it was December 2011, I'd prolly feel different and want to see the torch passed to Jones, but I've gotta side with Shogun right now.

Maybe Jones loses and can fight Silva at LHW? Oh how I wish that were possible.

I think it is one of those fights that has to be made. Too many fans take this too seriously. If Silva or GSP lose badly then they lose. I see fans acting like if GSP loses it would be the worst thing for his career. Why? You fight the best and see what happens. I'm not gonna stop being a GSP fan if Silva knocks him out..

It's about legacy more then anything.

If GSP would lose it's gonna be hard for me. I even got pissed now when I visualized that fight. MOFOkin' Silva !!!!!!!

I agree it is about legacy. But i'd rather have GSP take that fight and lose it then fight on another 5 or 6 years and have people say he was too scared to ever fight the man most thought was pd for pd better than him.

All that said i 100% think he can win.

Also, the divisions are pretty much cleared out. Sure Okami deserves a shot at Silva and there are a few more deserving fighters, but there are no money fights left in these divisions, and I really dont see a fighter challenging Anderson or GSP.

From Chael Sonnen on the Anderson Silva's ufc 126 match:

Quote:"Thank you, Anderson, for revealing yet another weakness for me to exploit in our rematch. Beating that poor punching bag doesn't impress Uncle Chael, guy. You tipped your hand like a chump poker player at a $5 table in Atlantic City. You may have beaten Vitor, but in the process, you LOST your edge. By beating that husk, you gave me the last page of your playbook. Revel in your time, [because] it ENDS the night you face me. I will mow you down like autumn wheat, AGAIN."

[benefactor]

Sonnen's comments are always gold. Hopefully he gets another shot at Silva.

[polandprzem]

At least Sonnen got the guts to tell the truth and a bit more :D

Another weakness :)



I would like Silva to fight Okami or Sonnen in may as GSP fights at 30th April.
Then you would have equal time for preparation. STILL IF both fighters will win their bouts.



IMO GSP got a chance to beat Silva up. With the Jacksons gameplans and St Pierre's versatility, good things might happen

fuuuuuck lol funny shit

[dallaskd]

funny no one here ever liked (or paid attention to) Sonnen's douche bag comments until they were directed towards silva..

[dbreiden83080]

Gotta go with Forrest. Franklin's old and goin to the HoF. Forrest is pretty much a gatekeeper. He needs this way more than Franklin.

Good call on this one. I love Rich and hate how underappreciated he is. But he is coming to the end..

[CubanSucks]

funny no one here ever liked (or paid attention to) Sonnen's douche bag comments until they were directed towards silva..

...or until he backed his comments up and then some last fight. If he got his ass kicked and then kept talking then that's a different story. His appeal for me is how he's the only fighter in the UFC that's made Silva look human. Like I said, he's the kryptonite

[mystargtr34]

Sonnen is good for a laugh but to talk shit about beating Silva up in their first fight while he was on steroids is pretty funny to me. Having said that.. it would be interesting to see how Sonnen would do against AS while not on the juice.

[Soul_Patch]

Lol...Chael's schtick reminds me of yours.

Ummm...I may be wrong but wasn't Sonnen completely in the right during this controversy? Wasn't it just the fact that Sonnen didn't know he had to report his hormone medication to the athletic commission cause he already had a few months before?

Yup, we're all band wagon fans. Why would you expose us all in front of the forum like that? You're such a dick.

pretty much, sonnen has few real fans in the mma community. most fighters dislike him. long been called a douche bag until he came to the ufc and got a title shot. and soku is well, about to fight one of his former team quest guys in poland. has been out doing some judo competitions as of late
