    “they call you chael sonnen”

    Finally I can stop hearing about how great Davis is and how he could beat Jones. He put up a decent fight but his wrestling pedigree meant nothing when he got in the Octagon with Evans.


    • Jujitsu Player

      Haha agreed, Rashad totally controlled him imagine what Jones would have done to him. It wouldn’t have last a round. Davis looked so stiff with his stand up and seemed gassed in the second rd. this was clearly too big a jump for him. He’s young and he’s going to get a lot better but he needs to develop his stand up, which is bang average.


      • Ninja Oreo Dollop

        His first round stand up was actually impressive. I was expecting him to throw himself off balance with his punches like he did against Little Nog.


  3. davee

    i wish i just watched the highlights and saved my time rather then watch the fights tonight….i cant wait for anderson to shhut this guy up,,i hoe munoz will stil help anderson get ready..


    • sandman

      you should just watch highlights then.
      can’t you tell that chael is promoting and creating hype?
      munoz should not help anderson because he’ll fight for the title soon (and he’ll have the odds to win).


  4. Natural

    Finally !! a great fox card played out the way it shld. I think this will be rise of UFC on fox now these fights weren’t finished in first min of fight and showed some mainstream how this is a sport with true athletes compete. That being said rashad look great for a fight with Phil phill coming up to be a beast but still need to go back to wrk on his striking. Bisping just looked good and chael looked bad but pulled off win, Munoz would have Dom. But really just some great shows..


  5. Yeah..Anderson will need Munoz to help him, but doubt it bc he might face Anderson when he loses to Chael!


    • Chill

      What do nuts taste like? Second thought i’d rather ask one of my girls, and not someone who professionally sucks the balls of THE PED-ONE TESTICLE chael sonnen


    • Sonnen

      What a idiot!!! Everyone told u that your hero was shit, but u kept sucking his roid ball. U thought u were an MMA, how could even justify Sonnen’s crap performance, he lost. Maybe you should change your name from Chart Monster to Chats Shit!!


  6. Zack

    Anderson doesn’t need munozs help. Silva is gunna beat chael then Munoz then Jon jones will be his last victim


  7. Man, those first two rounds were hard to call with Bisping and Sonnen. However, I gave them to Bisping. Striking was close but there were more powerful strikes landed from Bisping in his knees and punches combined, although Sonnen had some good power shots too. Grappling too, I gave to Bisping as he controlled it for longer periods in each round – Sonnen had the two take-downs in the first and one in the 2nd, but Bisping controlled the fence grappling, where the majority of the grappling took place in those 2 rounds. Even when Sonnen took him down, Bisping got back up pretty quick with almost no damage taken. Yeah, I think Bisping won that fight and I can see why he believes so. It wasn’t horrific judging, given how close it was, but Sonnen was very unimpressive. I don’t think he deserves a title shot after that performance. I would rather see them give it to Dan Henderson. I have a new respect for Bisping’s fighting ability. He doesn’t look like much, but he obviously has a lot of pit bull fight in him in that lean physique of his.


    • mmaislandjunkie

      yup thats how i felt, bisping 29-28. sonnen should be forced to fight vitor for the belt now, vitor has looked more impressive of late and imo he would ko sonnen.


      • Raja

        I see what your’re saying…but i’d rather just put this Phael Cheat Sonnen shit to rest and let him get destroyed by a healthy Anderson…Can’t wait to hear all the Chael nuthuggers excuses after he loses …haha


      • Yeah, that is not the kind of fight you want your “#1 contender” to have before you are about to try and fill a Brazilian soccer stadium. If Sonnen had a strong submission attempt in the first or second, then I could nudge one of those rounds his way, but nope. Nothing. As far as fighting in Brazil, they are so mad for MMA that they will probably fill it anyways. If teh UFC has time to fit in a fight with Sonnen – Belfort, to decide who would fight Anderson then great. Otherwise, Henderson, with those recent big wins over Shogun and Fedor, could definitely fill those shoes. I really won’t be surprised if Dana gives it to Henderson. After last night, I think a healthy Anderson would destroy Sonnen this time.


        • Ninja Oreo Dollop

          Sonnen had a perfect opportunity to submit Bisping in the third either by rear naked choke or by triangle choke but he chose to try and win by points. WTH!


          • Yeah,Bisping did a great job controlling the wrists when he went for the rear naked. Sonnen had a bit of time to go for the triangle, but again, Bisping did a good job defending and getting back into half guard from full mount. If they fight again, they should headline it for a 5 rounder.


          • Ninja Oreo Dollop

            I think they should change their weight cutting policy because Chris and Damien looked really bad. They should also make title shots 5 rounders as well so we can have a definitive winner when so much is at stake.

            You could tell Bisping and Sonnen that were desperate for the win. You could see it in their eyes. Good fight regardless of the controversy.


          • Jujitsu Player

            Re: weight cutting policy – the fighters are just getting bigger and stronger in between fights and having to cut so much weight before the fight. I don’t know how they could police that, its not like to can set a maximum weight while someone is in training.


          • Luke'sFather

            Chris took the fight on 11 days notice so I think he gets a free pass


          • Ninja Oreo Dollop

            @Jujitsu Player
            Maybe a cap for the amount of weight you can cut would be a good first step. You shouldn’t be able to cut 40-50 lbs before a fight that’s super un-healthy.


  8. DBKlein69

    @ raja, cant wait to hear more excuses from anderson nuthuggers after he gets ragdolled. again.


  9. DBKlein69

    atleast u admit he will, in fact, get ragdolled again.
