He has proved everything in the sport and is so talented with so much experience he will not get thrown off mentally. He will bring his A game to this fight you can guarantee that.

Fightings not really a sport where anger fuels you. This isn't Rocky. If you get emotional, you start thinking while your fighting, and the worst thing you can do when fighting is to "think."

Wouldn't say he was angry. He got in his face at the press conference, but this is on a completely different level.

Yes very true that was the last time I saw him angry. The first chael fight he just thought of him as a joke and didn't take him very seriously and got tossed around as a result. Yet in that belfort fight you could tell he was angry and straight up dominated him with a devastating ko. That could easily happen in this fight as well, I don't think he has ever been more motivated or angry then he is for this fight.

I think its mostly due to the cut draining him though not fear

I'd be scared though, going up against the best fighter in history who is pissed off in front of his home crowd-who also hate him-

**2much2gain** · 07-03-2012, 04:59 PM

lol @ people thinking Silva will lose because hes angry...

That kick had nothing to do with Silva fighting "angry." It had everything to do with Vitor hestitating an standing straight in front of Anderson. Vitor was doing pretty good up until that point and caught Silva and put him on his back while he was kicking. The fight was mostly them just feeling each other out until that kick landed. Its not like thats the first time Anderson's ever done that kick either...

Anderson was putting pressure from the start and front kick is not known to be a ko type move so being angry helped him be aggressive/train harder and put more power into his hits + look for a finish. Anderson is going to try to finish this fight in front of his home town and retire. This will be the best anderson we have ever seen.

**Overboostin** · 07-03-2012, 05:46 PM

The difference is Vitor stood right in front of Silva and was trying to counterpunch. When someone fights emotional they are likely to be more aggressive and engage more, which fits Chael's style perfectly. I doubt he wants Anderson to be patient and fighting cautiously from the outside, he would prefer if Anderson comes straight at him so he can look for the clinch or takedown.

**2much2gain** · 07-03-2012, 05:47 PM

Who was that monster standing behind Chael? I'd love for him to put his arms around me

Anderson never put pressure on Vitor from the start. Did you even watch the fight??? They both decided to counterpunch, which is why they danced around in circles for almost the whole first round. LOL at thinking training "angry" for that fight magically gave him KO power in his feet. He's landed that front kick before on Dan Henderson and probably would have knocked him out. Difference is Hendo has a granite chin while Vitor's can be shoddy at times...

And now this is Silva's hometown lol? But what about the whole "Brazil" thing???

**ftwrestler** · 07-03-2012, 06:14 PM

inb4 silva goes straight for the clinch

**gspmmafan** · 07-03-2012, 06:41 PM

The fight is in Las Vegas right? Am I missing something about this being Silva's hometown?

**Casshern** · 07-03-2012, 06:53 PM

That looked like fear in Chael's eyes to me. Not that that means too much. But all this finally coming to a head could take over him. He might be a nervous wreck come fight night.

I don't really like either of these guys but I am rooting for a Silva-Leben type finish but more devastating.

**BigRadBadBrad** · 07-03-2012, 06:54 PM

people put way too much emphasis on staredowns

This. The fight is not in Brazil, people.

**KidDynamite** · 07-03-2012, 07:11 PM

Anderson is just trying to get into Chael's head because he's scared. He knows that if Chael shows up like he did in the first fight, he'll likely lose.

Anderson was nervous as hell at the beginning of the Okami fight. He was worried that Chael's training partner could do what Chael did. He's gonna be even more nervous against Chael. The only difference is Chael won't fail at a pathetic TD attempt to give Anderson some confidence.

The one thing about fighting that you should NEVER do is fight angry, upset, and with a heavy conscious. Chael knows exactly what he is doing. All this trash talk and hype has been building up to the point where Anderson will have everything Chael has said on his mind fight time and will be fighting scared out of fear of losing to someone he genuinely hates. Remember Cerrone vs. Nate Diaz? This is the samething, just replace Nate Diaz with Chael and Cerrone with Anderson.

Same strategy, different fight. Chael will be fighting like someone with nothing to lose while Anderson stands to lose everything.

Did you just compare quite possibly the greatest mixed martial artist in the history of the sport with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone?

**firstandgoal** · 07-03-2012, 07:22 PM

Chael didn't even try to look in Anderson's eyes. If Chael looks like he did against Bisping, Anderson should have no problem with him.

Chael is amusing to help sell fights, but no one should admire the lying scumbag, this is the same hypocrite who said Lance Armstrong was a cheater and got cancer because of his PED usage before he himself got caught juicing.

He also did fraud when he was a real estate agent, and steals peoples lines, like David Stern, Superstar Billy Graham and others acts, very unoriginal.

He talks **** about Mike Tyson basically calling him a fraud and joke.

**xpin2winx** · 07-03-2012, 07:42 PM

Chael needs to teach anderson a lesson

**Adrogeus** · 07-03-2012, 07:48 PM

Great words from the GOAT at 27:39 of the presser youtube vid.

Also lol at there being fear in Chael's eyes in the stare down. He reminds me of this guy, steely visage and nerves of steel too.

Uh, no.

As of today's headlines, chael has 20 lbs to cut yet. Chael is scared and intimidated, you can see it plain as day.

Chael is going to put Anderson on his prissy little ass. Again.

Probably. But it won't matter because he'll still lose.

Only one moron didn't realize it wasn't in Brazil and it confused the others.

**BlakRandy** · 07-04-2012, 01:19 AM

People are forgetting that Anderson is probably top 3 authentic trolls in mma along with Mir and Werdum. He probably isn't even really mad.

I'd also maybe say Chael has more to lose. If Anderson loses he whips another top guys ass and gets another shot at the belt or retires. if Chael loses, that's his opportunity of ever winning a middleweight belt over which pretty much means his chances of ever winning a belt over unless he does the Anthony Johnson 50lb cut to welterweight.

**ApG** · 07-04-2012, 01:21 AM

It just looks to me that Chael isn't teh only one who can sell a fight.
