Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Roman Brady]

Just seen the presser and what a difference it makes when you have legit headliners + championship on the line + legit feud. This is what has been missing from the UFC for most of the fox sports era..Thoroughly entertaining, never thought I would see the day where anderson became so talkative and chael was a mute. Speaking of which was I the only one that did a fist pump when AS brought up the juicin/money laundering? its amazing the way no one (including anderson) brought this up until today (despite how low chael has stooped)

Speaking of chael he seemed very low key, dont want to say shook but it seems anderson's threats has given him something to ponder.. at the staredown

chael didnt look right against bisping, i think the roiding has caught up to him

 

[Another Man]

Chael gon git raped

I'd like to see Anderson make this dude look dumb like he did Forrest and hurt him in the process, but honestly I dont see how Silva stops him from rushing him and putting him on his back all night again. The reason Silva does what he does to these other guys is because they stand back and let him get their timing down. Sonnen understands that you cant let him do that. Hopefully he leaves himself open to get submitted again like he has so many other times

couple more days

Last time Anderson was this fired up Vitor caught a face full of foot. Chael might regret pissing him off this much.

Sonnen's game is his wrestling and he looks a lot more powerful this time around then last time. Unfortunately silva seems very confident and looks like he will come out first to swing. Ima put a G on Anderson catching him with a brutal knee timed when sonnen tries to take him down. I really want to see sonnen vs Nate the great which in my opinion was the second best middleweight fighter.

Chael beat Nate pretty convincingly last time they fought.



They've got me excited to see this fight that's for sure.

same but I wonder if anderson sudden willinglingess to "play the game" is a sign he knows hes done and is trying to make this fight his last big pay cheque? If chael has got into his head or if hes so haunted by last fight that hes trying to get into chael's head.Only one way to find out shame I wont get to see it live

I think Nate didn't put up his best preformance and no one knows how long they both been juicing...

That part does seem odd. Anderson has been talking "legacy" stuff a lot lately. He kinda seems checked out of fighting which at 37 is understandable. I just hope he doesn't fight mad, that's just what Chael needs to blanket him

I think Nate didn't put up his best preformance and no one knows how long they both been juicing...

As long as they were both juicing at least we know it was an even fight

i dont give him so much credit.. that shyt was a odd fight i think silva will end this one faster

 

[Strapped]

[FaTaL]
