You can see where he gets that outlook. His first fight against Silva was like watching a master at work before the Brazilian submitted him in the fifth round. The promotion for this fight has been the Chael Sonnen show as he has fired off one-liners left, right and centre.
Silva has far from sat back, but was not present for the press conference a few months ago which led to a hilarious, if strange, Skype exchange. Sonnen has reiterated again and again he needs to punish Silva for disrespecting him while the Axe Murderer seems intent on breaking Sonnen in half.
Silva is fresh off a four-year break from MMA while Sonnen looked incredibly rusty against Tito Ortiz in January after a three-year lay-off. The roles had reversed. The two did not end up fighting in Silva evaded a drug test and was pulled by the Nevada Athletic Commission. Sonnen ended up failing two drug tests. So, the fight at Bellator NYC will be something like five years in the making.
In an angry rant, Silva basically said the time for talking is over. Bellator has a press conference for the event scheduled for Tuesday, but Silva will not be there in person. One of the most famous arenas in the world. On that day, Bellator is gonna be bigger than the UFC. Martial Arts Planet. I seriously do not understand it. Tested positive for steroids yes he argues it was for Low t, but I don't understand why if he had such a legit excuse for using them, why he had run away from the state athletic commish instead of informing them to begin with and yet people look at him like he's some sort of hero because he yells what his extreme ideas are into a microphone.
I know fighters like Ali talked trash but at the end we still remember them for being so great for what they did outside the ring that showed their true character. I cant nor will I deny Sonnen's skills. I love Sonnen, he's just so funny! I also love his work ethic "I'm not her to leave a legacy, I'm here to fight. I hope when I retire people forget about me and they cheer for the next champion. Pretty In Pink , Jun 27, Well I lost respect for Silva when he said be was injured. That was a totally crap move.
If you get your as kicked for four and a half rounds and catch a sub, you say you got lucky and you'll be much more prepared next time. You don't cop out with "I hurt my toe". Sonnen promised you a smashing and he delivered. He didn't lie even a little. He promised it would be totally one sided.
So it wasn't really trash talking was it? Sure he says a lot of stuff that makes no sense, but thats him just trolling the MMA world. Why would you hate on him? Because he makes fun of people? At least he's not afraid to speak his mind. Last edited by a moderator: Jun 27, Moosey , Jun 27, I'm indifferent to him.
