Wow...
post fight presser will start shortly: http://www.ufc.com/media/136-post-fi...ess-conference
I didn't have a chance to catch any of the fights, but glad all my picks won haha
"Anderson Silva ... you suck!" Sonnen said. The victorious fighter then stepped away from the microphone for a little dramatic pause as Silva watched from the front row.
"Super Bowl weekend ... the biggest rematch in the history of the sport. I'm calling you out, Silva. I beat you, you leave the division, I lose, I will leave the UFC forever," said Sonnen.
Dana "Edgar is #2 P4P, he is 145 lbs fighting 155"

Maynard was in a pretty good mood; basically Edgar can take a hit, I hit him hard, he has a hard head
Maynard: if there was a bat there, I would have hit him with a bat, too. But I didn't find one. (Turns to Dana) Where you keep the bats?

- Exactly what I was thinking while watching the 1st round, I was hoping he would attempt an arm triangle considering he is usually has top position; just another weapon to use instead of having to rely on GnP all the time...Glad to see his coaches saw this as well and added it to his arsenal.

Phenomenal what Frankie did
When I saw Maynard connected in the 1st again I thought it was over but was talking to Frankie to hold once again.
He started to look better and better as the fight progressed. Could not take Maynard down though. Gray wanted to stand as well. I thought he wouldgo for a takedown more. Where was Randy?
Kenny had a good gameplan but really Aldo is fantastic
Sonnen?
Absolutely incredible that he was able to controll Stann the way he did.
And even submitting him. Crazy
Calling out Silva was priceless!
Being the men he is, he puts on himself aditional pressure saying he will UFC if he loses.
Silva was not feeling comfortable. And him being called out he just .... he is pathetic.
Cannot find the presser nowhere yet
If you missed it the fights should be up on http://www.mma-core.com/
Till about mid-day then the UFC starts pulling them.. Get em fast..
Edgar is ahead of GSP pound for pound
Way to troll Dana..
Watch the presserEdgar is ahead of GSP pound for pound
Way to troll Dana..
Dana was even pissed at Ariel that he can have a different point of view
Melendez or Guida/Henderson
Who do you think?
Henderson could beat Edgar possibly. Dana was talking about wanting Edgar to fight Aldo at 45 next which is obvious promotional horse- on Dana's part. Henderson/Guida gets the next crack, 55 is stacked..
Dana knows 55 is stacked and they need more talent at 45
yea I also do think benson/clay are next in line when we really do not know the melendez situation
The BW division has hurt the FW division because guys would rather drop to BW and fight Cruz than Aldo..
wtf is with Aldo being called Jose now?
--Strikeforce Strikeforce
Big announcement coming soon on the immediate future of LW champ @GilbertMelendez! Stay tuned for details
Statement from KenFlo
http://kennyflorian.com/ufc-136-stat...kenny-florian/“First, I’d like to thank Jose Aldo for giving me the opportunity to compete for the featherweight le last Saturday. I gave the fight my all, but Jose won that night. I would also like to thank the UFC, Dana White and Lorenzo Fer ta for their continued support.
I am passionate about mixed martial arts, and I love being involved in this sport. It is incredible to see how much MMA has grown and that, today, there are millions of people who enjoy the UFC as much as I do.
Second, everyone is asking what is next for me. The only response I can give right now is that I’m going to take some time. I want to rest, spend some time with my family and friends, and then evaluate all of my options. I’ll speak with Dana, and my manager, Glenn Robinson, and we will figure out my next move. When I make that decision, my fans will be the first to know. One way or another, you haven’t seen the last of Ken-Flo!”

Why nobody asks Silva what he thinks about all the stuff?
Is he not there to talk that he want to fight his clone?
I'm so personal about the fights that I will be sick all the time since the fight announcement until the end of the fight.
I want Sonnen to win. want Sonnen to devastate Silva! I want him to demolish Silva.
After that I will call him our Saviour !
New coach validated by Sonnen's submission win, NSAC mum on licensing prospects
continue reading: http://mmajunkie.com/news/25632/new-...ie.com+Feed%29It was a proud moment for Scott McQuary when Chael Sonnen cinched an arm-triangle choke that forced Brian Stann to tap out.
McQuary, who joined forces with Sonnen three months prior as a jiu-jitsu and muay Thai coach, said the submission was one of a handful drilled into the fighter over the course of training camp.
"I saw it as an opportunity – because in all of Chael's fights previously, he was always in those positions," McQuary on Monday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He had people's backs. He had the mount. He had side control, and it was just a matter of a little tweaking to see where the opening was, and then working on the finish."
Chael Sonnen, the submission artist? That's a big departure for the onetime middleweight challenger's run inside the octagon. Until Saturday's UFC 136 event, Sonnen had finished exactly none of his nine fights unless, of course, it was he who was tapping out.
One of McQuary's first tasks, then, was to help bat a monkey off Sonnen's back: submission defense. A triangle/armbar combination halted what was up until that point the most notable performance of the fighter's life when he met champ Anderson Silva at UFC 117 and submitted in the fifth and final round. Sonnen had dominated the fight all the way to the unexpected ending.
So when it was Stann submitting in the second round, McQuary, who is also a head coach at Team Quest Tualatin in Tualatin, Ore., knew he'd done his job.
"It felt fantastic," he said. "It solidified everything we've been working on. That submission was specifically part of what we worked on. I've been focusing on three basic submissions in particular, so that was one of them – part of a transition going from the mount to side control to the back."
Sonnen reached all three positions during the fight, which may have opened the door for a rematch with Silva in February. But it was from top position that he set up the finish, and Stann may have helped him out.
"I think the arm triangle is also one of the most difficult submissions to get out of, especially for a guy like Stann, who has such big shoulders," McQuary said. "He has such a big chin. We knew that getting Chael's shoulder underneath that chin and locking that arm across ... when you've got big [deltoids] like that, that presses it into your own carotid and actually brings it on even stronger."
---
Need to rewatch the fight but did Sonnen ever attempt a submission against Silva, pictures like the one below are reasons why I'm glad he has added arm triangles
rewatched the fight, Sonnen locks in the arm triangle at the 4:20 mark of the 5th round and but then immediately slides his legs back into the guard of Silva to get top control again, so hopefully for his next fight, he has more confidence in the submission.
