ITs one thing to say a 10 second knockout punch is a fluke. But to say a 4 1/2 round ass kicking is a fluke? Come on.

Def not a fluke... but I think Chael has not looked good since... Bisping gave him a run for his money.

Fluke isn't the right word, it was an aberration, meaning it wasn't what would normally happen. Factors of Chael's extreme focus that I don't believe he brings 10/10 times, the rib injury, Anderson probably taking Chael lightly like Maia, Leites, and Cote among other unknown factors contributed to the perfect storm in my opinion.

Yet Chael still lost.

Silva KO in the 1st this go around I'm thinkin.

I don't think he took Maia, Leites or Cote lightly... I think he was bored... seriously.

not overlooked, just completely slipped my mind because I'm high. That is definitely the overwhelming biggest factor in the aberration argument.

@Kalibo agreed. or he wouldn't have ran away from Maia when Maia was on the ground.

@Franklin880088 worst part is that he'll STILL have that amount of testosterone in this fight.

"not overlooked, just completely slipped my mind because I'm high. That is definitely the overwhelming biggest factor in the aberration argument."




Sorry about that. Should have been clear. I did not mean you at all. I was referring more to the sonnen supporters who tend to over look the fact he was being amp by testosterone which I don't believe he had nearly as much of in the bispen fight and look how ****** he looked.

@Franklin I think you may be over exaggerating a little bit. Was that not Overeem?

Oh he will with out a doubt cheat, but I don't believe he will be nearly thoses levels. I think he got his one freeby and he knows it. He won't do that again, which is why he did not look very impressive against bispen.  He did not have all the extra testosterone to keep the pace he had against silva. With out having such large amounts, he wont be able to keep the same pace at all
