He said Mike Rowe. Fighting Silva is the dirtiest job there is.

edit: Oh yeah I meant to ask, did they find out why Forrest started to bail?
I buddy swore when Forrest got back into the ring he said it was because he had to got take a shit lol
I assumed he thought he lost (Lord knows why, he worked Tito) and just left.
 
After the presser I give Sonnen props for coming off very well.
Also props for handling the knee and shorts and whatnot questions like a boss.
I made the mistake of clicking on the Sherdog forums just to peek at the chaos and now I need more drinks.
SO much knee jerk bullshit , like we had some of here but so so so much larger in scale.
 
Those superfights are very unlikely to happen. Silva is too big for GSP and Jones is too big for Silva. They're practically two weight classes apart from each other - Silva is a natural MW and Jones will eventually go up to HW, while GSP is a natural WW and Silva is able to go up to 205.

Was that bbq line an endorsement spot for Burger King's "Let's have a bbq" ad campaign?

I don't think so. It was about Sonnen wanting Silva's wife to cook for him.

He got an invitation.

Btw, it sounded for me like 'i wont fight you ever again, if you want to meet up wi th me, lets have a bbq'

Also, it could be BK ad related if it was a Chael comment (and if he was sponsored by them), that guy is tricky in speaches. And that is all he is.

GSP is actually a pretty big guy. He walks around at 208-212. When he's training for a fight, he diets off about 15-18 pounds and then cuts whatever is left over.

Source: You don't have to believe me on this but he occasionally trains at Gracie Barra Montreal and he's always open about answering questions like that.

I noticed Silva had a Burger King logo on his jersey/shirt.

I've tired explaining this to them but they don't get it.
 
Silva's sponsor banner was just Burger King and Nike, he made out pretty well. Such a contrast to the 10 logo MMA gear banner everyone else has.

Do you think Tito has to return that prop to Planet Hollywood? They'll give him a free bloomin' onion if he can get it back before happy hour.

Prop? Please son. There is no way anyone had a helmet kicking around big enough to fit on his cyclopean fucking head. He had that bitch custom made and they had to mine the last 90% of the Earths precious metals to get it done.
 
Silva uses Medusa's Gaze. Sonnen turned to Stone. Silva casts Meteor. Sonnen's turn is skipped due to Stone. Silva launches Meteor. Critical hit! Silva casts Death...

Sonnen: 3HP/0MP
Status: Stone

Turn Skipped.
 
LTTP here and all I've gotta say is... delicious. Absolutely fucking delicious.

Glorious thread. The thread title, "Canderson," our lord and savior the American Gangster, all of it. Biggest crow eating feast in the history of MMA-gaf.

You musn't go overboard with this though. It's okay (and right) to hype legitimate fights, such as (some) championship bouts, but you really shouldn't hype every shit. At some point people grow tired of it and it falls back on you.

Like Tony Schiavone always saying on wcw nitro "This is the greatest night in the history of our sport"
 
Which 205ers could realistically cut down?
Henderson again? Rashad (I know he said he wouldn't but he looks like he could if he really wanted to).

Would any of them do any better?

I still think the most compelling match up for Silva would be Belfort again. That could be exciting.
Should have Bisping fight Belfort. Winner (Belfort) gets title shot.

How long is Belfort out for?
 
Just going through the beginning of this thread. Oh me oh my there's some tear-marinaded crow being eaten right now. Glorious. All hail Silva, GOAT.

I think if Henderson went back to his Greco-Roman roots and started looking to take Silva down from the clinch and work some ground and pound he could do it. The problem though is that Henderson is so completely in love with his Big Right Hand (insert masturbation joke here) that he'll throw it with reckless abandon to hit you with it. It works well for him because he has a chin made of granite and can out brawl anyone but the way he throws it makes it easy for a competent counter striker like Silva to...uh counter.

Diet Hendo would be out of gas as soon as his takedown on Silva landed.
