I'm so pissed I have to go in media black out mode Saturday night since I have a playoff game that was supposed to be at 2p and has been moved to 7p now and will just watch the replay on Sunday!

I'd love to know what he said when he leaned in, at first I thought he was throwing a little kissy poo at him but def seems like he said something. So far, Chael looks better than he has for his last couple fights. He looked like hell at the weigh-in for the Bisping fight, really gaunt and drawn out. Very jealous ufcchick!

i think dana gives it away. he has a big ass smile with his head almost down when they were getting "pulled" apart. i think it would be good for the sport if sonnen somehow won this cause most of the" mildly interested" fans would want to see a trilogy as long as the second fight was good.

@legacy,

Sonnen isn't scared. Neither one is scared. Silva tries for a reaction and doesn't get one.

It's a staredown. I've seen guys in fights who look terrified win by first round KO and I've seen guys who look confident and pissed get destroyed. The only true answer we will get is when they meet in the cage this weekend.

I said scared because he has a big mouth and everybody know how he likes to talk **** but when he was confronted face to face he looked down, ultimately I know that doesn´t mean much, except that he doesn´t believe all his talking.
there´s only 4 days left!

@legacy,

Maybe. I could also say that at 0:15 when Sonnen moves forward Silva backs up a little bit. Does that mean that Silva is scared of Sonnen? Maybe... but it's just a staredown.

The thing is, Sonnen is not the same person as he is when doing interviews. Sonnen knows that he is in Silva's head. Silva tried to get a response and didn't get anything. Sonnen's played this game before.

The thing is, Chael doesn't really stare into most of his opponents. In fact, he pretty much looks the same in most of his weigh ins/staredowns:

@Old

I didn't finished my post because I was getting out of work (i'm a productive man, ha ha)

I don't think Sonnen was really scared I just thought he looked a bit scared and certainly he didn't looked as ****y as his usual, I've never noticed that he doesn't look at his opponents so that was also part of why I thought that. 

I know that he plays a character in every fight but I think there's a line that everyone should respect, you don't talk **** about another  country or makes comments about his/her family. I normally don't mind the trash talk (Nick is one of my fav. fighters) but he crosses that line. Aside from that I just never liked Sonnen that much, to me it's a cheater, he used illegal substances and was convicted of fraud and money laundering, to me he's just not a cool guy, and I think he is a good fighter but not as good as most ppl seem to think so.

I used to think Sonnen was just a funny dude and was just having fun talking ****. But this dude is very disrespectful. Idk if it just a front that Sonnen is putting on to promote this fight. But he sounds like a ****y brick. The more he talks the more people turn against him.
