Yeah it's early but dammit I can't wait for this. Hope Silva kicks his teeth in.

I love Chael. Guy is hilarious.
-
Sonnen belongs in the WWE. Can't stand him. However, I think he beats Silva unfortunately.
-
Except that's now heading up UFC 148 in Vegas. :lol:
The co-main is now Cruz-Faber 3.
Fans win. -
I hope Silva comes in healthy. You want to see him at his best and prove the last fight was indeed a fluke.
After destroying his nemesis Sonnen and canceling out the one fight in which he looked human, I hope Silva grabs Joe Rogan's mic and announces his retirement.
Now 37, he's admitted that age is catching up with him. That he needs surgery after each fight, takes longer to heal and the training is more difficult. And he's talked retirement for years now.
Anderson will have absolutely gutted the division during a record-setting reign and murdered a few cats at 205 in between. He's got no desire to move up anymore, much less fight Jon Jones, who he feels is bigger, stronger, younger, etc.
Why not retire now -- on top and untouched -- as the greatest of all time.
As an aside, GSP would move up to middleweight and you'd get a whole new game at two divisions.Nappy Roots likes this. -
Unfortunately Cruz tore his ACL on Monday.
No replacement named for the Faber fight, but the spec is it'll be McDonald. -
Damn. Was looking forward to that fight
-
Anyone know any good places to catch UFC in South Florida? Particularly in Broward?
-
Both guys are absolute d-bags. I wish chael won the last fight to shut up the arrogant Silva and his fanboys. that being said, Silva is going to destroy Chael tomorrow night.
-
Rooting for chael tomorrow. Will be at bdubs. Can't wait!!!! Also, tito got me into mma back in the day, so hope to see him go out on top against Forrest.

Gonna be an amazing card tonight. Anderson is my all time favorite fighter, dudes skills are on another planet. Chael makes me laugh sometimes so I don't completely hate the dude, but he's a hypocrite of the highest order and a pissed off Anderson is going to put in quick work tonight.
-
I was wrong and happily. Anderson was able to stop his take downs in the 2nd round. Hes just to damn good honestly.
-
And thats whats crazy about Silva. Even when he doesnt seem to have a devastating shot or fighting well he wins, or lands that 1 shot that his guy can't recover from. Even in the end the knee to the body didn't seem to be overwhelming, but it turns out it was. Silva won...no shocker lol. Chael did have a good gameplan and the guy is so good at getting inside and controlling Silva. He just didn't do much damage when he got there and thats obviously the major difference in fighters.
-
Chael swung, completely missed, then tried a spinning backfist against a guy who had his hands down against the cage :lol:
I wish he'd of gotten hit a few more times but that was pretty satisfying to watch. -
-
how good is this. silva a usually defensive outside fighter, takes an aggressive fighter, and uses his own aggressiveness against him. I think you could argue this for both fights.
-
-
Everyone will mention Silva v. Sonnen but how about Forest v. Tito.......another snooze fest. I'm glad Tito is retiring, he hasn't been a top notch fighter for a long time. He's been a shadow of himself for years now, it pains me to watch him fight nowadays. Glad he is walking away.
-
the undercard as whole was pretty ****ty I thought.
-
The undercard was atrocious as was the Easton fight. Glad the rest of the card picked it up. Happy for Le to get his first ufc win, glad to see Tito retire, again for the 4th time or whatever it is now, and amazingly glad Silva won.
By the way, I absolutely love the class Anderson showed after the fight. Everyone can say how arrogant and egocentric he is, but the guy shows class after battle every single time. You can see on Chaels face he got love for Silva too.
