UFC 101 Preview: Anderson Silva Talks Wanderlei Silva and Lyoto Machida

by Nick Thomas on Jul 2, 2009 9:43 AM EDT in MMA News

Lyoto is the champ, and I don't have any intention of fighting him or fighting for the title. I'm Lyoto's friend and I think it's going to be hard for anyone to beat him. This is Karate's era, Machida Karate.

I'm a big fan of A. Silva...

and just realized he may be even better now than before, regardless of his last few performances… It would be amazing if he “Jardined” Forrest (tho I like Forrest also.)

I'm actually torn between choosing who I want to win this..

I like both and I usually root for them in their fights..

I am rooting for a war…if this fight ends up a war, everyone wins.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

To those in brazil: Are there bogus translations here again?

Or is it just soares who “allegedly” does that?

I’ll try to make some commentary… and sorry for the bad english
There are some mistakes, but not too much…
Most of them in the last 30s…
Little more agrassive about Wanderley than sound in english…
It`s very clear in portuguese that he won’t fight for the LHW belt (I don`t know if is so clear in english)…
And the part about Gracie family, I think the translator lost sentences… and give some kind of resume of the idea…

I’m not saying that I could do better… cause I couldn`t… I’m just giving my opinion…

In any case,

I would still have Lyoto winning a match against Silva, unless he got caught in a submission, then he’s eff’d in the a. But who cares, GSP vs. Silva is the real superfight I wanna see.

So if Dana sais Anderson vs MAchid ais the next fight Anderson can just decline it? Can’t Dana and Co enforce the fight?

The fighters have the right to turn down fights. The UFC then has the right to say “hey, we fulfilled our obligation to give you a fight, have fun getting frozen out.”
