Im ready to see Silva-Sonnen 2. Bad blood plus a what should be hostile crowd. Belfort and Wandy should be fun too. Hopefully they add a 3rd fun fight because at 45 bucks a pop for a PPV I wanna get my moneys worth and I have no idea how the TUF season is going to turn out
What's up buddy??
I'm not sure Chael makes it out of Brazil alive, especially if he wins..
i can't see it actually happening in brazil for safety of chael and his corner
They'll sell a billion tickets so the UFC obviously has a large financial interest in this fight happening in Brazil; however Chael's safety is a major concern. Chael will NOT stop trolling Brazil as the promotion draws near he will amp it up a notch. It does not matter what Chael says, it is solely the job of the UFC to keep him safe. Anything happens to him and it is the worst PR MMA could possibly get...
Yeah, you have a sport getting legitimacy by leaps and bounds in the US and then all of sudden the biggest story about the sport will feature clip after clip of Sonnen sounding like he's cutting promos for the WWE. Dana White's too easy to cast as an asshole who publicized the out of those very comments that would put Sonnen in danger all in the name of making money.
On top of that I'm sure there's people in that country who understand how bad that would look for Brazil if anything happened to Sonnen. He's hardly a household name, but it's easy to see how any muckrakers in the American media could whip up a frenzy if something went down. Handsome white guy, All American collegiate career, Olympic alternate, the American flag trunks. Even all the talking he's done could be spun. He was a proud American exercising his 1st Amendment rights and them damn foreigners killed him for it! , some might even try to draw some Ali comparisons. Think about the weeks worth of the Nancy Graces of the world got out of the Natalie Halloway story.
If they have to pick him up at the airport in an armored car, drive him all the way down the aisle to the door of the octagon, and then drive him straight back as soon as the fight's done they'll make it happen to pull this card off.
Nothing much man. We moved out in the country and are in the process of getting the internet set up finally. Hopefully ill be a regular again in the next week or so!
It will not be that bad in Brazil for Sonnen.
The worst thing for him is to go there and face the presssure. The biggest in his career. I mean really you never heard such loud booos in your life and brazilians can get crazy.
Also with the shape Sonnen was against Bisping I don't know if he is able to survive Silvas striking this time as Anderson knows Chael goes forward.
I'm gonna rewatch the 1st fight
That was super gay until the last four seconds. Actually laughed out loud.
Young Guns FTW!
Young Guns reference?
"Dear Governor Axtell. I've heard that you will give 200 dollars for my head. Perhaps we should meet and talk. I am at the Juarez village at the border. Send 3 men, and instruct them not to shoot, as I am unarmed. In short, Sir; I surrender. Your obedient servant William H. Bonney. PS: I changed my mind. Kiss my ass."
23rd and not 16th
Anderson saying he won't fight chael unless it's in brazil, Dana says if he doesn't he will be fired. Fight Is going to Vegas if there is one.
Brian @FrontRowBrian
Major story breaking in Atlanta. Anderson Silva has told Dana White he NOT fight Chael Sonnen unless it's in Brazil.
@FrontRowBrian
UFC147 presser in Rio on 4 Tues. Anderson will be present. Dana will announce date change to Vegas. Dana will fire AS if he declines fight
@FrontRowBrian
Should Anderson be fired, Sonnen v. @Bisping II is the back up plan for July 7 for the belt
@FrontRowBrian
Uncle Dana is beyond frustrated with Anderson. Let's see if he can convince Anderson to fight in Vegas. Dana playing hardball
The fight will happen.. Silva can't be this scared of Sonnen..
Sonnen said if he walked down to the octagon and the crowd didn't stay silent, he would leave the building... I think each is just doing their part to hype the fight
He is ducking Sonnen for 6 years now
How awful is the HW division starting to look? When Big Country is fighting for #1, you know you've got problems -- and I'm a huge BC fan.
that was false info and I put that in the wrong thread, belonged in 146; either Nelson received false info or was just tweeting something out of hope.

man I missed the presser today, but I check twitter and see this:
--
oh this fight is now moved to UFC 148 in Vegas
Dana said Vitor Belfort broke his hand and is out. They are working on a new opponent for Wandy.
