In a world bound by physics and chemistry, neither area of study can account for the movement of Anderson Silva, nor the effect of testosterone supplements on Chael Sonnen (respectively).  The middleweight champion dodges punches better than Neo in the matrix while the self-proclaimed middleweight champion stays busier with his verbal onslaught than a one legged man at an ass-kicking contest.  I always wanted to use that phrase in an article.  Not really sure if it belonged there or not, but I’m sure you’ll rip me a new one in the comments if you didn’t like it.  In the meantime, watch this video of Anderson and Chael facing off after today’s weigh-in for UFC 148, then grin about how exited you are for tomorrow night.

Chael doesn't get KO'd because he immediately shoots in the second he gets hit with something he doesn't like the feeling of. He and his fans like to throw that stat around like he's a striker. Has little relevance when you spend 90% of the fight LnPing

there are a lot of ways to describe Chael as a person as well as his style of fighting, but "Laying and Praying" is not one of them.

Orly? Since when did GnPers not finish fights? I've been watching MMA since the first UFC as I'm sure many here have. Sort of remember people who used to do real damage on the ground. Chael hasn't looked threatening in someone's guard since he fought Marquardt and even then he had no hopes of finishing. Seriously, Chael hits soft in comparison to other MWs . Stop making this guy out to be a monster. GnP is Fedor, vintage Tito, Coleman. Fighters who finish or do some real damage

Lol I get so confused when people say he LnP'd his way through their last fight. He was getting the better of the stand-up, was getting take-downs at will, and was getting some solid ground-n-pound in. Just because Silva's face wasn't all fucked up doesn't mean anything. Not everyone bruises and swells up the same. Silva was getting more worked than he's ever been by Chael P. Sonne.

I don't consider myself a Chael fanboy, I like Sonnen and I like Silva... those that deny what I just said are kinda delusional when it comes to the first fight.

I think Sonnen was a bit dazzed by the weight cut. Did you see how fast he sucked that bottle?
I saw a video yesterday that he says he still had to cut 20 pounds. That must suck

Yeah, there's your Dolce Diet 'science' for you. If Chael loses tomorrow, I'm blaming Mike Dolce and his 'scientific' method of eating grains and fruit before a fight.

He looked sort of gaunt when he first walked out, but I assumed it was just the cut. After I saw he gulp that water down I knew he was fucked.

Meanwhile Silva looked great, may spell trouble for Sonnen

-2 # Guest 2012-07-06 22:49

i may be the only one, but I saw him drinking that bottle as just a way to look cool while he drank/crushed it. so far, the Dolce guys seem to be doing great as far as their nutrition goes. while Chael still looks abnormally skinny, I think he looks much better compared to how he looked on weighin day against Stann and Bisping.

I don't know if it was water. It looked like some sort of gel. Maybe it was one of those runner gel packs with carbs in it.

Chael also mentioned his lack of sleep, because he had to get up 6 times a night to pee, because of the fabulous Dolce Diet. He looked like he was about to keel over at the weigh-ins.

You seem to think everything Chael does is cool. There is a word for that in the WWE universe he's created for you fanboys, it's called "work". You've been "worked" by this "heel" who's drawing "heat". Glad the kiddies think he is so cool though

What Chael thought pissing off the GOAT and an whole country was a good idea? How about doing it for 2 straight years? Damn right that was in order. There's a reason people don't usually act like Sonnen did the last two years. We will be reminded of that in a few hours.
