UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II

[No More Sorrow]

Really though who's next for Silva?


Do they throw Lombard up there with a win or do you give him Bisping.

Just seen that Rasahd Evans tweeted to Dana that he wanted to fight Silva next. He's been saying he'd consider dropping down to 185 for the fight so we'll have to see.

I'd like to see Lombard get a crack at him though.

 

[The Cork]

He missed nearly every strike.

If that was a legit stoppage then the first fight should of been stopped like 20 times when Sonnen landed flush combos to his face.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

He didn't miss every strike he hit him FOUR STRAIGHT times, you can even see it in the replay.

Yea Rashad is trying to fight Silva, but he couldn't even beat Jones who has a longer reach then the Spider.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Hm UFC isn't advertising their post fight conference, is it on the site or no?

 

[Ben]

Stoppage was fine, could of let it go another few seconds but Sonnen was just eating punches and wasn't going to recover.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Nevermind I found it.

Anyone else going to stay around and chat during the post fight conference?

 

[No More Sorrow]

I'll be on here for the post fight presser

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Alright I'll stay around a little longer for the press to start.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Also, here's a close up shot of the knee to Sonnen.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Perfectly legal knee.

The conference will start automatically correct?

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah it should right around 1:30ish.

 

[Chris]

Perfectly legal knee. Silva's probably pissed that he missed Chael's skull with that one, no way you throw that knee in a championship fight unless you're actually aiming for the face. Way too close for comfort.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Through UFC.com and Jobbi you can actually apply to be a UFC fighter lulz by uploading a resume of your career

 

[The Cork]

If the roles were reversed, Anderson would of got till the end of the round to recouperate.

Stinks of bias.

That being said, wtf was that dumbass spinning back fist.

 

[Ryan]

Everyone at the bar was calling that knee illegal cause Sonnen was down. Bullshit, he was up against the cage. Sonnen is such a cocky ass hole that he couldn't just accept the win. He had to try that spinning back fist and that screwed him over. The thing about Silva is that he's so good that he can capitalize off of any mistake. I've never seen a half decent fighter get caught with a spinning back fist let alone Silva so that was pure stupidity to even use that on Sonnen's part cause it telegraphed like no other. Silva didn't even slip it, he just ducked like any normal person would do and that was all it took. Honestly, I thought he had that fight on lock and I didn't even want him to win and he blew it. So glad Silva won that. That whole fight was absolutely vicious though, no doubt, they both went in.

Tito/Forrest was an awesome fight. Everyone went crazy when Griffin won. That was so close, that would've won Fight of the Night on any other card.

That being said, wtf was that dumbass spinning back fist.

For real, that will go down as one of the top 10 dumbest moves a fighter has ever tried in a fight. I still have no idea why he tried that except that he thought Silva was out of it.
