Silva shows up for fights he considers a challenge. He will crush Sonnen for this reason. I cant remember Silva being taken down in a long time, how does his takedown defense suck. Silva is so explosive and fast it might be hard to even get ahold of his leg.

Did you not see the Dan Henderson and Travis Lutter fights?
The only 2 men to really try to take him down and they both got him down really easy. I don't call trying to pull guard/lay on your back like Maia a TD attempt.
Don't get me wrong, if I was a betting man I'd bet on Silva in this fight. However, Sonnen's strength is Silva's only weakness which is why I don't buy into the "Sonnen has no chance" mantra.

With the way Silva acted/talked in the conference call, I honestly think he could care less about this fight. Sonnen truly believe he will beat him. I just hope so, so Ed Soares cries like a little girl.

He is one of boxings former best. As Randy is one of the former MMA best. I don't see this going past the 2nd round. All Randy. Also to say Sonnen is all L&P is ridiculous. Nothing like rookie fans.

Every anwser Silva gave were one word anwsers that Ed Soares "interpreted", and Sonnen just started ripping into them.

Lol I guess, but hes gonna look really foolish after the fight.
I dont really like Silva, but I respect him and hes gonna pick this guy apart IMO
