Silva vs Sonnen, this Saturday.

Call your shot.

Who takes home the belt? And how do they do it?

Silva by (t)ko before the end of round 3.

Should be an awesome fight though.

I have Silva by KO in the 2nd.

But I hope I am wrong.

I hope Sonnen, but I think Silva. 6 fight card...gonna be great

Did you guys see this video? Can't believe Chael can keep a straight face during it...

That video is hilarious! Proof that he trolls everyone and people still get angry. I'm rooting for Silva but Sonnen is great at promoting himself.

Wasn't that an illegal knee that took Sonnen out??????

Absolutely illegal. I'm pissed. And, they act like it didn't happen.

espn says it was knee to the chest, so ok.

ESPN is full of gay, it hit him in the chest yes, but it also hit him in the forearms that were covering his chin. Had he not had his arms up Silva's lover thigh would have hit Sonnen in the chin. They're just covering for a ****ty ref who, allowed Silva to grab Sonnen's shorts twice without taking a point, let him throw a knee to the head of a downed opponent and prematurely stopped the fight. Sonnen was covering up. Personally I don't like either fighter, but that ruined what might have been a good fight. ESPN probably called the infamous "late hit the correct call"...

Thought it was illegal when I first saw it, on replay I didn't
UFC rules for fouls state

quote:
The following acts constitute fouls in a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts and may result in penalties, at the discretion of thereferee, if committed


At the discretion of the referee, so... even if Chael didnt have his hands up and Silva's thigh hit him in the chin, I still think the knee was intended for and did in fact hit the chest so I don't think that was a bad call.

I did think the stoppage was premature though.

Okay, I turned it off after it was stopped so if it was to the chest then that's fine. I thought the stoppage was okay b/c Sonnen wasn't doing anything and Silva would have kept on punishing him. I just thought originally the knee hit the face but if it didn't then cool. Sonnen just got caught bad.

That stupid ass spinning backfist is what lost the fight

Yeah, forgot about the short grabbing. That was crap and after the 2nd time Silva should have had a point taken away.

FWIW for future reference for my fellow Ags I have been told you can view sporting events at www.ilemi.me. I've also been told to make sure to not download anyting. They say to wait for the 35 seconds to go away and then look for the little "X" box where your pointer turns into an arrow to close the box.

I'm still confused as to why he did that.

unless he did it in the first round, it was all one grab. The official was blocked from it for awhile then made the break when he did see it. Tours when chael forced silva back into the cage and went for the spinning elbow.

Wow I had missed that, and missed it again the first time I saw the GIF. Looks like the referee hit Anderson on the hand when he saw it though

I didn't realize watching it live that it was all one grab, but one hell of a grab there... Prevented a take down and got two nice shots in too. Anderson should be proud, he "bent" the rules (actually, he broke the rules) and got the win. MMA is getting closer to boxing every day... Maybe the wrestlers will go back to speedos to avoid the patented short grab from now on.
