SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR
"Chael had a hell of a fight tonight." - UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, moments after submitting challenger Chael Sonnen in the fifth round at UFC 117. Sonnen controlled the first four rounds, garnering a 40-34 score on one of the judge's cards. (UFC 117 telecast)
"It was a tough fight. He's a tough guy. I came in second. They gave me my opportunity, and I came up short." - Sonnen
"I told Rodrigo I’d get the submission this fight. I told him that. Everything worked out yet again." - Silva, waiting as long as possible to fulfill his promise. (Gracie Mag)
"I knew that I was losing the first four rounds. Not to make any excuses, but a week and a have ago I hurt my ribs. The doctor asked me not to come in and fight, but for you guys and the UFC, I came out here and put it all out on the line." - Silva. Not to make any excuses, but here's some excuses.
"I took him to the hospital and they X-Rayed each rib and they noticed that it was a bit swollen, but there was no fracture. They said it was bruised ribs, but the way he reacted when they touched it and how tender they were, they said it was in the muscle as well as the bruise." - Silva's manager Ed Soares. Anyone want to clarify what he means by "it was in the muscle as well as the bruise"? (Fight Hype)
"He just said he wasn't feeling well, and I believe him. I expected more resistance." - Sonnen (Heavy)
"I'm happy as hell." - UFC President Dana White
"It's definitely a rematch that people want to see." - White. If by "rematch" you mean "superfight." And if that superfight involves GSP, then yes.
"I mean, I don't necessarily think an immediate rematch is legitimate. It's not like he won by decision. You got submitted, man." - Soares. Yeah, why would a guy who just beat up your boy for 23 of 24 minutes in a five round fight not deserve a rematch?
THE (VERY LONG) WEEK IN CHAEL
"I've fought 41 men and none of them out struck me; there's a first time for everything. But 41 men have tried and 41 men have failed." - Chael Sonnen (HDNet)
"At some point in 25 minutes this is going to come down to who is tougher and Anderson Silva knows good and well he is nowhere near as tough as Chael Sonnen." - Sonnen
"He wears these tiny little shorts, his skin is very slippery. He's one of these guys that greases up." - Sonnen
"Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this." - Sonnen (Pro MMA Radio)
"I never did an interview with Larry Pepe. I never spoke of Lance Armstrong ever. Never. Not until just now." - Sonnen (MMA Fighting)
"You just watch these guys and can't help but think, 'God, what a fraud.'" - Sonnen
"I'm devastated. I came in second." - Sonnen
"What he said was, 'I'd like to do the reality show with Chael, I'll work on my English, we will carry the ratings, and we will do a rematch.'" - Sonnen, translating for Anderson Silva at the post-fight press conference.
"Look there's a camraderie that comes with this sport that's inevitable, but fighting Anderson Silva is a lot like eating Chinese food. Twenty minutes after I do it, I'm gonna want to do it again." - Sonnen
"This sport's very unique. We scour planet earth, and we came down to the two best guys. If you check the rankings tomorrow, we're still going to be the two best guys." - Sonnen
"I'm not Dog the Bounty Hunter, I don't issue apologies. And you're not going to be the first one to get one out of me." - Sonnen
"It's devastating. I can't sugarcoat it. My heart's broken." - Sonnen, with one of the most brutally honest answers I've ever seen.
"He's a good fighter, and he found a way to win. That's what champions do." - Sonnen
"I'm going to go after number one, whoever it is. If it's Anderson or I gotta go up after the guys at 205 or go on a diet and go after Jose Aldo." - Sonnen
"It's one of those moments you'll think about the rest of your life." - Sonnen
"A lot of people want to talk about strategy and thinking and blah blah blah. It's a fistfight in the middle of Oakland, California." - Sonnen
"I don't have ill will towards Anderson, and I don't wish him a bad life. But here's the truth, if the commissioner would sanction it and Dana would move, I would fight him right now." - Sonnen
TITO ORTIZ OPENS MOUTH, STICK FOOT IN IT
"He's been babied his whole life coming from being deaf of course and he's going to be babied after when I knock him out." - Tito Ortiz, on hearing-impaired opponent Matt Hamill. Unfortunately for Tito, Hamill isn't fighting-impaired Ken Shamrock. (HDNet)
"He's slow; he's like a big slow ox. I'm going to pick him apart and I know his corner can't really tell him what to do and show him the mistakes he does." - Ortiz, who can hear and still doesn't correct the mistakes he does.
"I've noticed he's deaf, so he has a soft head, you hit him with more and more shots. You people don't know this. Watch how Franklin knocked him out quick." - Ortiz
"You hit them with soft shots because their equilibrium, they don't have no equilibrium. And you hit them with shots and you hit them with small shots, I'm not looking' for big shots. I'm looking' for small shots." - Ortiz, apparently familiar with hitting the handicapped.
SOMEHOW SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING MORE OUTRAGEOUS THAN CHAEL SONNEN
"I was expecting that [to have my weight cut doubted]. Once you miss weight, it's the first thing everyone talks about." - Thiago Alves, who has missed weight and tested positive for a diuretic in the past. (MMA Fighting)
"The weight cut has been easy. It's one of the easiest times it's ever been. I just didn't want to go to the workout and miss a day of working on it, because I wanted to make sure everything was under control and where it should be so I can make it easy on myself." - Alves, claiming he started the week at 177 pounds. Alves weighed in at 171.5 and forfeited 20% of his purse as a result.
"Obviously, I wish I could be home eating a big meal, but that's not the case. You got to do what you got to do." - Alves. Or not do it. Whatever.
WHITE NOISE
"Lots of guys are going to have nights where they don't have a good performance." - Dana White, spinning Anderson Silva's UFC 112 performance and forecasting his UFC 117 performance. (MMA Junkie)
"It's about acting like a lunatic. If he ever goes out and acts like a nut, like he did, yes, I would cut him." - White. I'll believe it when I see it.
"[It's just like 120], you can't bitch about a card 'til the card's over." - White, arguing you can't complain about a card before the fights go down. Unfortunately, you also can't pay for a card after you've seen the fights, so his point is moot.
"Here's the thing with that, you've got GSP and Koscheck have their season of the Ultimate Fighter, then they're going to fight each other. You've got Shields who's gonna fight. Now we've got Jon Fitch who's in the mix. There's a lot going on right now." - White, reneging on his pre-fight announcement that the winner of Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves would receive a title shot. (MMA Fighting)
PARTING SHOTS
"I really hope this doesn't happen to you!" - Yoshihiro Akiyama, whose manager embezzled all of his fight money. (Got MMA?)
"He helped me take my game to another level. It's just we ended up having to part ways. Now Rich Franklin is his top guy-and I want to [expletive] him up." - Chris Leben, when asked who he would fight if he could pick the opponent. Leben recently parted ways with Matt Hume. (Bloody Elbow)
"You see my walkout, the introduction with me drooling on myself, burping in the cage and stuff. I bring plenty of excitement in my own way." - Clay Guida, also describing a night with Luke Thomas. (MMA Fighting)
"I got the better of him and I left." - Roger Huerta, who beat up some donk who KO'd a woman from behind. (TMZ)
"Another thing is, he’s asked for this fight pretty bad and in my mind I want to put him down hard because I don’t want people asking to fight Matt Hughes left and right." - Matt Hughes, channeling his inner Rickey Henderson. (UFC.com)
"Junior [dos Santos] is going to go, 'I'll never fight Roy Nelson again.'" - Roy Nelson. This one's too easy. (UFC Countdown)

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

That was pretty damn sweet
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton
There is some possible pseudo-science to what Tito’s saying. Our equilibrium is controlled by little pieces of our inner ear (most utilizing hairs that are pulled by gravity in certain ways) and if there’s something wrong with those hairs in a deaf person, their equilibrium may be worse than that of a hearing person. (This is a simple explanation – it’s more complicated than that, but nobody here probably cares.)
My audiologist speculates that I don’t have quite enough of those hairs, and that’s why I’m 90% deaf, but it’s not confirmed. However, my balance and equilibrium is quite good and I play sports, have surfed and continue to train BJJ with zero problems. Having run into Hamill a few times, I speculate that his equilibrium is just fine and Tito’s just trying to talk trash.
Innovative trash though. It made me laugh for it’s retarded delivery and attempt at pseudoscience.

I said on ANOTHER thread that Thiago strikes me as always unmotivated to take his game to the next level.
From the weight issues to his performance with Fitch where he looked like he didn’t show the same effort he displayed in rd 3 that he did in rd 1 & 2— Alves is just not motivated to beat the very best in his division.

Bone Bruising
“I took him to the hospital and they X-Rayed each rib and they noticed that it was a bit swollen, but there was no fracture. They said it was bruised ribs, but the way he reacted when they touched it and how tender they were, they said it was in the muscle as well as the bruise.” – Silva’s manager Ed Soares. Anyone want to clarify what he means by “it was in the muscle as well as the bruise”?

More painful than breaks
and they give you they feeling that your bone is broken or will break easily. The ribs suck especially. You don’t wanna move quickly, you don’t wanna laugh, you don’t even wanna breathe.

I think you need to look at what the article is about
Before bitching about not mentioning the late Mr. Larkin.
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
it was the latest post with the most action happening thus having the most eyeballs, not sure whats hard to understand
It's the most interesting quotes from the past week
I bet a Larkin post will be up eventually but unless he said something amazing it serves no purpose here.
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
Just interesting it was reported last night...
And still not mentioned but like you insinuated the man held minimal value or presence in the MMA blogosphere. He basically had to beg media to attend press conferences.

Man, between Alves, Tito and Chael it's like a douche-off this week.
I’m gonna go with Tito for the win though: Alves was over-confident. Chael made fun of a single guy for only a small part of his life. Tito managed to insult deaf people everywhere and every moment of Matt’s existence.
That’s pretty astounding.

So we got one more to go.
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.

You're right
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"

I wouldn’t argue with Snooki. I would just give her what she wants and send her home happy.

Not sure where to put this
But Wrestling-Radio said Jon Jones/Forrest Griffin will head for UFC 123 but then they said the source was MMA Bay. Anyone else got a better source?
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
My sources tell me that Forrest Griffin is considering faking his death rather then facing Jones.

Also, 123 appears to be headed for Chicago
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
I guess that’s the highest rank available for Jones so it makes sense. I hate to fuel the hype train but Jones will probably destroy Forrest. Silva – esque

I here by nominate Mike Fagan for King of Awesomeness due to this comment
“Ortiz, apparently familiar with hitting the handicapped.”
The ortiz stuff (and your comments) were hilarious
"If a dick don't get hard offa cocaine, what would you axe it?" O.D.B.
"To be is to be the value of a bound variable." W.V.O Quine
"I shoot. I score. He shoots. I score." Dan Gable.
Yeah, why would a guy who just beat up your boy for 23 of 24 minutes in a five round fight not deserve a rematch?
Maybe because he lost decisively?
“I’m going to go after number one, whoever it is. If it’s Anderson or I gotta go up after the guys at 205 or go on a diet and go after Jose Aldo.” – Sonnen
Screw it, let’s see Sonnen vs. James Toney.
“He helped me take my game to another level. It’s just we ended up having to part ways. Now Rich Franklin is his top guy-and I want to [expletive] him up.” – Chris Leben, when asked who he would fight if he could pick the opponent
Leben vs. Franklin sounds good to me.
Excuse me, kind sir – since when does a Hail Mary sub (after getting mauled on for four rounds) qualify as a ‘decisive loss’?
Silva vs Leben was decisive. Silva vs Franklin 1 & 2 were decisive. Silva vs Henderson was decisive.
Silva vs Sonnen was Anderson snatching a win from the jaws of certain defeat.

If you lose by submission there’s no doubt that you have lost, therefore it’s a decisive loss.

So any loss other than by decision is automatically decisive? So Guida beat dos Anjos decisively then yes?
"Ten more seconds is all I ever ask. That's the good thing I learned about being KO'd twice. You don't see it coming -it's like death- you don't plan for it so don't wait for it. So many people are afraid of getting Ko'd that their hands stay home, but not me. I got to go out there and shoot the lights out and fall down" Jens Pulver
You’re generalising and trying to put words in my mouth.
There’s no lucky triangle/armbars, you have to set it up, counter the escape. You won’t catch someone in an triangle by randomly throwing you legs up.
Just because Silva didn’t dominate the whole fight, it doens’t mean that his victory is doubtful.

I know you can’t luck out on a submission, but If you lose 4 and a half rounds of a 5 round fight and win, I don’t see how thats a decisive victory. Perhaps we are just arguing semantics

Since it results in Chael not winning. A finish trumps a decision.
Silva vs Leben was decisive. Silva vs Franklin 1 & 2 were decisive. Silva vs Henderson was decisive.
Silva vs Sonnen was Anderson snatching a win from the jaws of certain defeat.
A better question would be what was not decisive about Silva’s victory? He made Chael give up the fight. It’s even worse for Sonnen and more impressive for Silva considering Chael was winning the fight up to that point.
