That's funny. I didn't watch with audio. Did they say where in Texas that was? Ah, that site says Austin...

Funny Sonnen quote.

"When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this ‘Hey, poor me, let's find a cure for cancer' campaign instead of just coming clean and saying, ‘Look, here's what I did, I screwed myself up, and I hope people learn from my mistakes.' You just watch these guys and can't help but think, God, what a fraud. You got the whole Michael Phelps being a pothead thing too. I'm just glad I'm in the business I'm in so I can get them in the cage and kick the crap out of them."
 
Sonnen has accomplished something since you guys can't stop talking about him and want to see him get beat up. It might not have worked on Sonnen, but it's worked on the MMA fan community. And good for Sonnen, he made people interested in the fight and made people care about it.

I honestly don't see how he can win, but I am going to root for him this Saturday. I will never root for the classless Anderson Silva ever again.

Cant stop talking about him?.... He's fighting for the belt and against Anderson Silva. Obviously were going to talk about. It was the same with Brock vs Lesnar. the only thing he's done is fill his head with false hope. And people shouldnt need to be hyped up for a fight. Shows just how lame he is.
 
People weren't hyped at all for Cote or Leites fights though. This fight has gotten people more interested and excited about it.

daikkenaurora, whether you want to admit it or not, the pre-fight trashtalk or media attention plays a big part in building interesting for fights especially on PPV. Think about it. Tito Ortiz/Ken Shamrock fights were all one-sided or short beatdowns by Ortiz essentially, yet they were among the highest drawing UFC fights however because of the "feud" those two had on TV.

Just saying this is how fights make a lot of money. Rampage and Evans got really trashy with their pre-fight talk and that was one of the biggest fights of the year for the UFC in terms of buyrates, success, etc. Sonnen has simply done a good job of selling the fight.

I've said it before, I dont care about trash talking. That bull____ should be left in Boxing and WWE. Fighters can say they will win and say how they trained hard but come on. Anderson has said maybe 2 to 3 mins about Sonnen and none of it has been as half as bad as what Sonnen has said.

He better hope he can do more than just that.

It's good that you don't care daikkenaurora. You are entitled to your opinion. The fact is a lot of people do. Like it or not, that's why the Ortiz/Shamrock UFC fights drew a ton of money besides not really being good fights.

Anderson may not have said much about Sonnen, but Anderson's actual behavior in the Octagon is about the most disrespectful you can ever be at that level.

I forgot, talk about Anderson Silva is your trigger. lol

Hope Alves KOs Fitch and Dos Santos eats Nelson's cheeseburger.
 
Speaking of cheese, you definitely have the best cheesecake on devianart daikkenaurora.

I'm very highly anticipating JDS/Nelson. I wonder if Nelson will really stand with JDS. I don't think he will. I think Nelson will shoot and try and smother JDS with his belly.

Here's a good video of JDS talking about the Nelson fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iii0obfYwbU&feature=player_embedded

"He has big belly . . . I put punches there."

No, No, No, there are plenty of others who kick my ass in cheesecake sir. lol

Nelson needs to do all he can to stay away from JDS' fists. Watching JDS hit someone is just painful. I think Nelson will try to take it to the group and put him in a crucifix. He loves doing that.

embedded fixed.

That would be awesome if he won by body shots.
 
I reckon Chael will have the same fate as BJ and Bisping when they couldnt keep their mouths closed. You cant give this caliber of a fighter extra motivation. I think Dana purposely made this fight to try and light a fire under Silvas ass.
 
Roger responded on TMZ about the "fight."

"I approached the man calmly and said, "Do you know what you just did? You just knocked out this girl."

But Huerta claims the other guy responded, "_____ you, _____ these _____es, I'll knock out any _____in' _____ that I wanna _____in' knock out, I'll knock your _____ing _____ ass out."

Huerta added, "... and as he's saying this, he's taking off his shirt ... and at that point I was like, alright.'"

Huerta insists that he didn't throw the first punch -- and only reacted when the other guy "started swinging at me" ... and we all know what happened next.

"I got the better of him and I left," Huerta said.

The 27-year-old explained, "If that was my mom, if that was my sister, my spouse, anyone ... I would've wanted someone to step in and do something about it."

Roger Huerta talks to TMZ.
"

I'm glad Roger took that piece of **** out.
 
:clap for Huerta, too bad you cant see ____ in that video. That black guy looked twice his size, which makes it even sweeter
 
Today's press conference was funny. All the fighters not named Anderson or Chael seemed really happy to be there.

The stare down was great. This:

Followed by an awkward moment of this:

I can't wait for the weigh-ins.
