anderson and sonnen staredown!
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
The absolute best part of the conference was watching Chaels reaction to a reporter (arial huani (sp)) calling his bulls--- on the election he had just won. Chael was speaking on something about backlash and support he gets and he mentioned that he is so well liked that he recently won an election ( believe it was a primary election) with 99.6% of the vote, Ariel asked if that was the election contest he won that he ran uncontested against. Chael had that "f---, someone outside of oregan payed attention" look on his face when he had to admit yes, he only got 99.6% of the vote when he was the only person on the ballot.

Nah hes much better then average.You just dont have a clue,and obviously dont like Sonnen.Anways hes the BEST wrestler Silva has ever faced.Yes Better then hendo,he accomplished Much more then henderson,btw hendersons almost 40.Chael pushes a ruthless pace like none else.Really though,who has TRIED to push anderson?No one.Hes been getting BJJ guys that try oh so desperately to take him down.That being said i STILL know Marquardt poses much more of a threat To Silva then Sonnen,but Silva weak base is wrestling.Thats what Chael is phenomenal at.
I think at this press conference Sonnen just realized that Anderson Silva isnt afraid of him. He wore the pink sweater which was funny. Gave maybe the best quote. "even a parrot can talk." And then he just stood there with that mean stare, I think Sonnen realized that Silva isnt afraid of him. And on Sat he will find out why he is the best fighter in the world

That was hilarious! Ariel called BS, it got extremely quiet, and it seemed like Chael whispered his response in the mic. Then, the whole room exploded with laughter.

I think people stopped trying to push Anderson after they saw what happened to Leben and Franklin. Trying to take the fight to Anderson hasn't worked in the past.

Well, Forrest and Irvin "tried" to push Anderson, and we all saw how that played out. But, he has never been pushed by a wrestler though. It could very well play out the same, I think at this point, AS wants to be challenged. I think that was at least part of the reason he danced around and played games with Maia, and to some extent did the same thing with Leites and Cote. I think part of him is saying "Dana, you seriously need to give me guys that will actually fight me and push me to be as great as you think I am". I wouldn't be surprised if deep down in his heart, Anderson has felt slightly insulted that he has had to fight some of those guys.

I agree. I can't wait to see this place after Chael pulls off the 5 round decision.

I don't think Chael can do it.
But yea, Chael is saying stuff that everyone is laughing their asses off at, and he is still straight-faced, and talking more. Alves seemed to be having a blast listening to the stuff that Chael was saying.
Frank Mir and Tito Ortiz need to take notes from this guy on trash talking. He can trash talk about as well as Anderson can duck, dodge, dip, dive, and dodge punches.

Did you even watch? He was looking at anderson he just turned to the cameras so they could take pictures of his face!!
I thought Chael brought up an interesting point, out of the last 5 fights or so, who has Silva fought who really was scary? With the Lesnar Carwin fight, people really thought Carwin had a chance, he looked fantastic for a lot of fights previous and presented serious problems for Brock. I don't know if Chael will win but I think this will be the first time in a while Anderson might have to really try.

And I'm going ask you. Who are these wrestlers that have beaten AS? Where are they at? That's right, it's nobody. Anderson will probably end up on his back, yes, but then Chael will be subbed within minutes. Chael Sonnen's sub defense is literally the worst in mma. Chael, knowing his sub defense is garbage, may actually try to stand with Anderson, and Anderson will outstrike him twice a day every day of the week and three times on Sunday, regardless of pace. Pushing Anderson will get you merked. Anybody who has ever tried it hasn't made it out of the first round.
Demian Maia's weakness is wrestling too. You see how that worked out for Chael?
You really don't have any informed insight on this fight. You watched the countdown show where they raved about how great Chael is, but failed to mention that he's lost every big fight in his career except the fight against an undermotivated Nate Marquardt who clearly took Chael Sonnen too lightly.
