Is he on drugs or just trolling? This dude's delusional. Didn't he have another interview fairly recently similar to this?
Watch out, Seagal taught Silva "special moves" for this fight...

Why Seagal is full of ?
Just like Anderson
We are gonna see if Steve again predicted the future and will not accuse Chael of taking roids ...
----------------------
If we are gonna see Sonnen full of energy on the weigh-ins it's
Alright, it's official. I hate Sonnen.
I am very excited to see Silva break his neck.
You actually want to see Silva keep winning. He will be MW champ for another 3 years if Chael loses.. Bisping/Silva oh yeah that's exciting..
Weigh Ins today at 7 PM EST / 4 PM PST
I might check this one out.
Can't believe silva still hasn't been beat
Interesting, was watching a vid of Sonnen's open workout yesterday and he was working on elbow attacks and using them to set up TDs and vice versa. Also did some Muay Thai clinch work with elbows and knees.
Not sure if he will use this in the fight, but could be an added element to throw at Silva instead of just boxing and wrestling.

Anderson is a piece of !
Now he speaks English and do not respect Sonnen ...
This fight is something more
This is reminiscent of Tyson/Lewis with the antics from Silva.. Tyson played those games because he had doubts.. Silva knows what Chael has and is clearly worried..
ok I just woke up for weigh ins as I was waiting for it I fall asleep
Hmm I mean I was waiting but fall asleep and woke up for the last two fights!
Gonna go and check the rest 2morrow, with all the comments.
Sonnen needs to do it for the mma world!
honestly if that escalated, I'd take Dolce over Seagal...

-35-year-old @sonnench on his future in MMA
Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen will soon have no one to separate fist from face.
Silva -- his middleweight le reign at 2,092 days and counting -- clocked in at 184 pounds for his long-awaited rematch with Sonnen (185) in the UFC 148 main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The 10 other men on the six-fight main card, including co-headliners o Ortiz (204) and Forrest Griffin (204), also met their mandatory weight requirements at Friday’s official weigh-in.
Silva and Sonnen met for the first time at UFC 117 in August 2010, when the challenger controlled and largely dominated the champion for the better part of five rounds. However, Silva snatched a triangle armbar for the submission in the fifth, as he authored one of the most dramatic finishes in UFC history and kept his stranglehold on the middleweight division.
One of the sport’s most celebrated compe ors, Silva has won 15 consecutive fights -- a record 14 of them inside the Octagon, nine of them middleweight le defenses. The 37-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt last appeared at UFC 134 in August, when he thrashed Yushin Okami en route to a second-round technical knockout. A lethal finisher, Silva has delivered 24 of his 31 career victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission, 17 of them inside one round. Wins over onetime UFC champions Rich Franklin (twice) and Vitor Belfort, former two-division Pride Fighting Championships leholder Dan Henderson and ex-middleweight King of Pancrase Nate Marquardt anchor his stellar resume.
Sonnen has rattled off back-to-back wins since his loss to Silva. The 35-year-old Team Quest representative last fought at UFC on FX 2 in January, when he took a unanimous verdict from “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 3 winner Michael Bisping at the United Center in Chicago. Sonnen, who wrestled collegiately at the University of Oregon, has made a career out a grinding style heavy on takedowns and ground-and-pound. He owns a 16-1-1 mark in fights that go the distance and has not lost a decision in nearly eight years.
UFC 148 “Silva vs. Sonnen 2” -- which airs live on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT -- will also feature a middleweight tilt matching former Strikeforce champion Cung Le (185) with Patrick Cote (185), a welterweight duel pitting 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist Demian Maia (170) against Dong Hyun Kim (170), a featherweight scrap pairing Team Alpha Male’s Chad Mendes (146) with Cody McKenzie (145) and a bantamweight bout between Tristar Gym representative Ivan Menjivar (136) and Mike Easton (135).
Two hours prior, the FX network will carry four preliminary matchups: Gleison Tibau (155) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov (155), Melvin Guillard (155) vs. Fabricio Camoes (156), Constantinos Philippou (186) vs. Riki Fukuda (185) and Shane Roller (155) vs. John Alessio (156). The remaining bout will stream live to the UFC’s Facebook page, as AMA Fight Club’s Rafaello Oliveira (156) locks horns with Yoislandy Izquierdo (156).

Can't wait to see this. Sonnen is a monster.
Hey guys..I've been a long time lurker but check out my Spurs and the MMA fans here. I live up here in Las Vegas now and can't agree more about Silva being a dip . I actually cover the major events here in Las Vegas and have been going to each event this week. I am definitely pulling for Chael. The open workout reminded me of Rocky 3 where Rocky is training with all the media and gets kisses from the girls and . Silva usually does not have elaborate open workouts but this last one, he basically had a class and other crap which is out of the norm. There is no doubt that Sonnen is in his head. I'll be at the MGM tomorrow covering it. For now here is one of my favorite clips of the week and we will be getting more. Oh and I love how o Ortiz totally dissed Ariel Helwani at the press conference on Thursday. Helwani got ted on.....
