Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva in Brazil?

After my rant on my youtube, I've been asked numerous times - "Why do you hate Chael so much?!"

Simple answer is: I DON'T... I hate to lose money and even more I get frustrated when I expect something and I get the opposite.

Yes, my rant on Chael was a bit nasty but as far as I'm concerned I was upset my bankroll lost that night and I wanted to vent.  The only person I felt I could do that on was Chael Sonnen - and it was fun.

NOW LET'S MOVE ON... to his next match.

Chael Sonnen will challenge Anderson Silva to a rematch the mma (UFC) community has been waiting for since 2010.  I have been waiting for this moment since I took Sonnen to win the first time and lost my bet in the last minute of the 5th round to him tapping out from a successful armbar.  GRRR... but how can one complain then when that fight has got to be one of the best performances vs Silva around?  At least it went to the 5th round! Which I am hoping will happen again.

Looking at the circumstances behind this rematch - I think it's completely bullshit unfair that Dana White is setting up this bout to be in Silva's hometown of Brazil.  Chael Sonnen needs to step up here and open that loud mouth of his and rain heck down Dana's ears.  For as far as he believes, Sonnen is the true champ and therefore this match should be done in his home state of Oregon.

Come on Dana! I realize that Silva is one of your top money makers, but you're basically setting up Chael Sonnen for failure.  To place him in a crowd filled with Anderson Silva fans, I can't see anything good coming out of this.  As far as I'm concerned: Chael Sonnen is the middleweight's best chance unseating the current reigning champ Anderson Silva.

Chael Sonnen has shown that he is capable to taking down one of the most feared guys in mma.  Anderson Silva's diverse standup and (rarely seen) ground game was no threat to Sonnen back in 2010.      Even after 5 rounds of giving Silva a beat down, Sonnen got caught with the armbar.  This time around, I don't think Sonnen will let his guard down.  I doubt that he'll let Silva pull off another miracle win.

With Silva being the counter-attacker that he is, I see this bout being a mirror image of the last one.  Except that this time, I'm sure Sonnen won't let the belt slip away.

"Sonnen, put some power behind those grenade fists of yours and blast that Spider away!"

PICK: Chael SONNEN @ +215 ;  as the line moves I'd take Sonnen at min +215 but I'm sure it will deepen as the fight approaches.

SUPERBOWL XLVI (46) - Prop Bet Picks

---------------------------

I wait all year for this day, where I am able to make some fun bets to make watching the Super Bowl more exciting.  I look forward to seeing the halftime show - which will be featuring Madonna - this year.   I'm sure it'll be exciting, wish i was there to see that mini-concert LIVE .. but the tele will have to do.


It's sad to know that NFL 2011-2012 Season is wrapping up and only hours away from being over for the year.  CRAP!  Now it means I have spend my Sundays doing something other than watching NFL all day long.  At least my tele bill will be lower considering I won't have to buy the NFL Ticket until next season.

Next best thing about Super Bowl....  is knowing I'm only a month away from MARCH MADNESS!!!

UFConFOX: Evans vs Davis; Sonnen vs Bisping

A new year has started and what's better than ending January with a free fight on primetime FOX??  Starting off February with a much anticipated fight:  Carlos Condit vs Nick Diaz.... more of that in another post.

I've posted a vlog rant on my irritation of Chael Sonnen's annoying ego/attitude.
You can go ahead and watch it on my Youtube.com/trinidy channel.

interaction is the key to an interesting life.

My top favourite comments:

:made me laugh ....

Chael's stock went down with me when he verbally assaulted Arianny Celeste. Are you kidding me?? Arianny Celeste? He is an idiot. Good fighter, but an idiot.

I think Trinidy peaked with 5 F-bombs in 45 seconds - might be a youtube record. I'll have to go back and give it another listen.

:Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen

• Why would CHael have to leave the UFC? even if he somehow by Silva benefiting miracle (again) lost, Silva never accepted his challenge. I know people like Anderson Silva but do you really think that a "broken rib", and a medically prescribed (and approved for his last few fights) steroid is why Anderson got beat the fuck down? seriously, watch Silvas fight vs Takase, Hendo, Lutter, and even the first okami fight, then think of how much better sonnen is at wrestling then all of them combined

• @thnk4urself i just think now he's comical for me to care at this point. don't get me wrong, i took the dog bet vs silva, and if only Chael would've got the TKO/KO I would say yeah he's top dog - I hated Silva for his performance against Maia - and Chael dominated for 4 rounds ... excessively pummeling Silva: but still didnt finish the fight.

• @thnk4urself Now u got wresting or jiu jitsu as base ground game in mma, & against Silva, Chael couldn't capitalize with his wrestling. Broken rib or not - Silva managed to show that not only can he take a beating but even on his back he is fully capable of a submission, Black belt BJJ trumps wrestling apparently when it comes to Silva. its be nice to see more than the 1st rnd w/ Silva - so i'm actually excited for the Sonnen/Silva fight.. Some pretty crazy amazing shit is bound to happen.

:most informative ....

• @trinidy Chael is overatted until he beats Anderson then props to him to, but it seem like now of the sudden everybody thinks Sonnen is the Ali of MMA.

• @Damondeeh20 all ppl remember is Silva being on his back for 4 rounds.. its not like sonnen finished that fight either.. Sonnen is no finisher, but why couldn't he do that to Bisping? cuz he's not on steroids no more.. :s

• @trinidy actually Sonnen is still on those "steroids". He gets TRT prescribed for hypogonadism, it's a condition that causes him to have much lower testosterone than a normal guy. In his last 2 fights, and the few fights before the title fight, he has got approval and taken those same "roids". Before the Silva fight, he just didn't get approval because he didn't think he had to. That's why his suspension was cut in half, because he was within the medical limit & just failed to get approval
