Well , I cannot wait until Anderson Silva will be defending his championship again this mofo “Sonnen” . I hope he will punish him for the trash talking. I guess by getting him to the Muy Thai clinch and damage his face and mouth.

We were at ufc 109 tonight or 5thround.com and I must admit to you that sonnen was the most impressive fighter tonight. Did you happen to follow our coverage?

Yes I did. However, I do not think that Nate has his best day and his striking is not as accurate as Anderson. Let’s see if he can defend the title against Belfort. I would think that Belfort is an animal and cannot be under estimate.
Back to the guy “sonnen” – This dude is trash talking and deserve to be spanked – He will have 5 round to try to take Anderson down (if they meet of course) and get knock down and get choked like Hendo.

I will be happy after Belfort or Sonnen kicks Anderson’s ass to stop all that nonsense of Anderson being number#1 p4p.
Also, Anderson has talked enough trash himself, is disrespectful towards other fighters and thinks too much of himself.
It is time for some bringing back to earth ass whooping.

Bruce, Nate is still young and you’re right, he’s only 30 years old so he’ll be back for sure. Sonnen I think did a great job of selling the fight and putting himself in a position to get this title shot.
serge, Anderson’s trash-talking isn’t really trash-talking. He does it more in a joking manner and doesn’t disrespect people directly. When he does stuff in the cage, he’s trying to entertain people, not show up his opponent if that’s what you meant.

Tom, I do not know, I just cannot stand Anderson.
I also do not think he has been fighting opposition on GSP’s level. Middleweight and HW are the weakest departments in UFC.

Forrest Griffin was a pretty good fighter that he made look bad. In fact, Griffin is a former champion that he made look like an amateur. Silva can’t change the fact that his challengers were inferior, just like Roy Jones Jr. in boxing.
