UFC 148: Silva vs Sonnen II Preview

In August of 2010, Chael Sonnen came within less than two minutes of dethroning one of the greatest fighters of all-time, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. On July 7th, the self-proclaimed "Gangster from West Linn" attempts to finish what he started against Silva, the pound-for-pound king, in the most eagerly anticipated rematch in UFC history. Plus, the biggest card of 2012 is stacked with even more intriguing action, as bantamweight superstar Urijah Faber faces Brazilian powerhouse Renan Barao for the interim 135-pound title and Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin look to settle the score in the final bout of their trilogy.

Chael , in both fights, dominated and won 5 rounds out of 7. He is fantastic. No other fighter has achieve anything close to that against Silva. Respect to Chael. You're awesome.

Biggest paper view event ever

[Iamgilly95]

he had two injections a week of testosterone for medical reasons (hypogonadism) and your allowed 6:1 he had 15:1 ,get your facts straight. anyway he was doing exactly the same to Anderson in the 2nd fight before Anderson grabbed his shots and pushed his shoulder to get off the fence which the referee was warning him about before hand, then chael slipped up.he fought Anderson for 30 minutes and beat him up for 28 of them

It's a sad true...

LOL yea right! even if Silva was 50 years older he'd still woop you. as a matter of fact any mma fighter would.

Silva grabbed the fence, and Chael's shorts on multiple occasions. Also that knee was illegal as a motherfucker, the only worse cheat was Aldo vs Mendes.

Also you can't know his levels unless there is a blood test, and the UFC does piss tests. For all we know his epitestosterone may have been low and his testosterone may have been average, it's all just a ratio.

how did he cheat the rubbing vaseline off his face to the body?

yves lavigne the referee whiped it off

if anyone is a cheater is chael who used trt in the first fights

17:1 t/e ratio

normal average male has 1:1

4:1 is maximum allowed

get your facts straight before comment

[steroidcupcake]

silva cheated

[Chris Milligan]

The song playing during this video always gave me goosebumps. Does anybody know the name of that song, or perhaps, its composer?

[Tom Hagen]

Anderson silva had busted ribs though and an opponent on enhancers, to me the fact that he could handle all of that and still scrap out a win is even more impressive.

[Nezkio]

to you as well, wierdo.

Way to assume things that you couldn't possibly figure out from this argument we had here. Some interesting drugs you must be on I guess. Keep on trucking kid.
