I think Sonnen will kick his ass. It seems like Silva lands every lucky punch and catches every lucky break. His luck will run out soon! :0002

You do realize that part of being the best is the ability to land pin point shots on peoples chins. If he did it once it would be lucky, maybe twice but he does it almost every fight. Once he finds his range the other guy is going down and it's that simple. He beat Sonnen with a bum knee last time as well as Sonnen jacked up on test. Those two things will both be changed this time around. I expect the fight to be a lot shorter.

FYI, I've watched UFC since it started. It is my opinion that A. Silva is overrated. Folks can have a differing opinion than I do if they choose, which is ok. For whatever reason, people like Sponge take it personal when he doesn't share the same opinion as what someone posts and resorts to name calling and insults. :rolleyes:

I don't have a problem with you saying any fighter is over rated. That's your opinion.

To me saying he lands lucky punches and catches ever lucky break is like saying Joe Montana or Michael Jordan got lucky on every big pass or every big shot. I've been watching the UFC starting in 2001 and I can say without a doubt there has never been anyone with the pin point accuracy that Silva has.

And yeah his luck will run out, much like Montana and Jordans did.

i think anderson silva has a supernatural accuracy percentage due to being on another level

he's like what bruce lee said, " I don't hit, IT hits for me."

Yeah, I'm sure you have :facepalm: I call bullshit. With a statement like yours above, it's pretty clear you haven't watched UFC since its started. Just watching the first UFC and haven't paid attention since(clearly the case) doesn't mean you have watched it since it started. Anyone who's "watched it since it started" would know that Anderson Silva is FARRRRRRR from a lucky fighter, yet alone lucky every time. The most accurate and rounded fighter MMA has ever seen. You see what happens when you make any single mistake? YOU PAY - He's no doubt the best MMA to ever live, IMO. The quality of fighters(on top of marketability of the MW division fighters) might hinder some opinions. But there's no doubt that he's been the most entertaining fighter the UFC has seen so far(Jon Jones could surpass that in a few years, who knows). He's the only fighter that I can watch and not only EXPECT a highlight finish, but you also are left surprised because he beats you at YOUR OWN GAME.

As a person who's followed the UFC since day 1 at my uncles house when I was only 12-13 years old to now, I'm offended you'd even try to use that bullshit to strengthen your argument.

LonghornMM.......GSP should be fighting again in October, maybe September, but more likely October.

Injuries are annoying.


Note: Anderson and Sonnen fight on July 7th.

hmmmm...I believe someone said most likely towards the end of the year, November'ish....right? I was laughed at then. Because I remember bashing how long it'd take for him to come back and with the whole Condit waiting crap. I guess someone who's suffered an ACL + MCL injury doesn't have a clue :shrug:
