Thread: Official UFC 117 discussion (possible spoilers post-event)

I cannot wait for Silva/Sonnen. I'm so fucking excited. Sonnen's constant smack talk makes the countdown really exciting! :laugh:

Anyone else notice that the entire main card consists of Brazil vs USA matches?

Predictions?

MAIN CARD

Champ Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen
UFC Middleweight Championship
Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves
Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida
Clay Guida vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Junior dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson
PRELIMINARY CARD

Thiago Silva vs. Tim Boetsch
Dustin Hazelett vs. Rick Story
Stefan Struve vs. Christian Morecraft
Johny Hendricks vs. Charlie Brenneman
Dennis Hallman vs. Ben Saunders
Rodney Wallace vs. Stanislav Nedkov

The main card is one of the best ive seen in a while - in fact the whole card is really good, a few tough picks - im going against the grain and going for a Sonnen win - no idea how but there you go! Most of the fights are really even and could go either way, i think Dos anjos ground game will be too much for Guida, if Dos anjos can weather some early flying fists, then dos anjos will take him down and submit him. Nelson Vs Dos santos should be epic, im going with Dos antos by KO though just because he is nails, im not sure if Nelson has been Ko'd before though? Struve needs a convincing win to save his contract and from what ive heard Moorecroft is no mug

I'm gonna put a tenner on Sonnen. Gnp is the only way. It's gonna be fun either way me tinks. Sonnen ain't gonna be scared for sure.

I just think all his trash talking might have woken up a monster .. I can see Silva toying with him and laughing his head off ..

maybe even ROFL'ing after every punch

I like the last bit of the press conf. with the photo ops. when you look at roy next to junior, it looks like a southern american fan getting a photo with his hereo! And then when sonnen tries to be the big man and ends up looking like a tit when silva just stands there. ha, very good. I'm away this weekend so will have to record and watch on weds/thurs

"to talk about me is easy .. try being me" = anderson silva

i liked that

I normally support whoever is fighting Anderson, but for this one time, come on ANDERSON!!! Smash his face in!

i call for the same



i really hope that mr wonderfuls fight is broadcast




watching mma live ..
anderson silva actually talks decent english .. better than some folk that live here !!

However, I get why he prefers to talk in his native tongue (apart from the fact that portrugese is his first language) .. he sounds quite wimpy and squeakily feminine, not the tough man voice






also .. sonnen once said andersons 15 minutes of fame were over LMAO ..
Anderson is 11-0 in the ufc ..
Sonnen what a cunt

i heard dos Santos vs nelson winner gets a title shot?! surely not, maybe dos Santos but not nelson he hasn't done anything!
