UFC 117: Silva vs Sonnen Reaction

A little late with the video, but I had to calm myself down to do this video or it was going to turn into a giant rant, and despite some of my other videos, I don't like ranting completely.

Not a bad night of fights, we learned some things and somethings that most of us knew before were reinforced.

You sound like you're on the verge of tears which is kind of funny actually.

To watch Sonnen lose in the final minute to a McDonalds Happy Meal toy was hilarious. Sure, he backed up about 75% of his trash talk, but he didn't back up the trash talk that really counted. Sonnen needs to learn how to first finish fights and 2nd, learn some submission defense. There's no excuse for not finishing a guy that you've hit hundreds of times. That's pathetic. Fael will always be second best at most.

@dds1970 I pretty much sound the same in almost every video I do. But Ok lol.

"If doesn't get caught in a triangle armbar combination - he wins this fight" How stupid is that? Let me show you: If Leben & Franklin didn't get kneed they'd beat Silva. If Hendo didn't get RNC'd he'd be champion. Get Over It! Chael Sonnen is allot like you - A Loser! He said it himself. He came up in 2nd at the Olympics... He came in 2nd at the WEC... & once again he came in 2nd in the UFC. & you being a fan of his, you take after him as well - Losing your bets BTW, IT AIN'T PHASE HIM!!!

@Renisance2K I'm just reacting to several people who are confused by the fact that they think Silva planned this fight to go like that. Am I wrong when I say if Sonnen had better defense he wins? Seriously, it's not rocket science. Leben and Franklin got dominated by Silva... It's the exact opposite for Sonnen, he was the one dominating the fight. I'm a Sonnen fan, but I'm also a Silva fan.

Well, all my respect for Chael Sonnen that he earned after this fight for me has all gone down the drain now after testing positive for PEDs. Nice job Chael, he couldn't beat an injured Anderson Silva while Sonnen was on roids, damn. Well we know that the rematch isn't happening anytime soon now, haha!

i agree he backed up all his shit. great night of fights. jon fitch is boring and i hate watching him fight. he plays the game, he doesnt advance position or make ground fighting exciting. Clay guida and Chael sonnen are perfect examples of how you can make fights exciting on the ground, matt hughes has underated submissions, almeida never stood a chance, i dont even think hughes wants to be a champ, guida rocks, guida broke his jaw in the stand up, dont say he was losing on the stand up
