I'm not playing this round. I'm too excited about the Chael fight to care about the rest.

SONNEN - (of course by decision).

Ohhhh That was a Bitch move by Anderson no matter how much you hate Chael... Dana better talk some Sh!@ to him for hitting Chael at the weigh ins.

Dana won't say ••••• to Anderson. I give credit to Sonnen for getting into Anderson's head, that's what he wanted to do. But, the shoulder hit was relatively minor, and to be honest, if Chael was in my head the same way, I'd likely have done much more than a mild shoulder hit.

I'm excited for this fight...although some say Chael is "tailor made" to beat Anderson...most only said that after the first fight. IF Anderson had a major issue with a rib injury (I know how much they suck) which contributed to his showing, and is 100% healthy for this fight, I don't expect it to make it into the 3rd round. Prove me wrong, Chael!!

Just watched the video. I lost all respect I ever had for Anderson as an MMA great. Chael has been right all along, Anderson IS a fraud. There is absolutely no reason a so called professional who preaches discipline and respect for MMA should do something like that......My opinion is that he is scared because he knows what Chael can do. Guess we'll se tomorrow night.

Desperate people do desperate things, he proved that tonight. Much respect to Chael for not hitting him back and acting like a clown.

One thing is talking Shi! another is actually hitting someone!!! No matter how spin it. I know Dana wont say anything but I bet if it was any other fighter they be fired after the fight.

Don't think it's anymore dramatic than some of they shoving we have seen at weigh ins in the past. It's more a shoulder barge than actually hitting him. If You talk as much crap as chael does, and bring people's families into it I am guessing you kind of expect that sort of reaction. In fairness to him Chael did not look in the least bit concerned.

[JavierDLC]

OMG!! How can you even compare a push and telling some ones wife to cook you a Medium Rare Stake to actually hitting someone

You all are blinded by your hate!!

I dont expect anything more.... but its just Hilarious
