ha I'm pulling for Sonnen - but love the trash talk. A motivated Silva is lethal.

I've never seen Anderson mad like this, he is not the type to try and hype up a fight and sell it.

I agree with robj on the Diaz condit fight. The kick condit threw were more push kicks to create distance them to do any damage.

I can't wait to see Anderson destroy sonnen. His words give me hope he will just be in kill mode the whole fight instead of taking time off in his fights like he has been known to do.

How in the hell is Chad Mendes fighting [LEFT]Cody McKenzie? That would be like Sonnen losing and fighting Tim Credeur next.[/LEFT]

That division still lacks depth, it's getting better with the amount of guys dropping from 155 though.

Exactly. The guy that won tuf this year built the same way. He looks like he has no power and is too small to make a run at 155.

McKenzie has been training with the Cesar Gracie camp so I expect him to be much improved, unlikely that will be enough for him to beat a guy like Chad Mendes.

The fight is at 145, it's his second fight there.

Yeah that's him getting his head kicked off in that video, he shaved his head apparently for the fight. That fight happened in the ONE FC promotion this past weekend. The strangest thing about their rules is, when they get an opponent in a compromising position they have to look at the referee and the ref gives them the go ahead if they feel the opponent is in the correct positioning to do moves such as soccer kicks, knees to the head and stomps to the head. So basically the move is like a fatality in Mortal Kombat when the "Finish Him" screen comes up lol.

This is the new Kevin James movie coming out. Relevant to the thread because it's about MMA and has lots of Bas Rutten in it.

The kick was completely unnecessary, he was basically out.

I saw it, I liked Sonnen to win early but as more time goes by I think Anderson is going to win in devastating fashion.
