Anderson Silva Tells Chael Sonnen To Train, Not Talk

With Chael Sonnen defeating Michael Bisping at UFC on Fox 2, it set up a rematch between Sonnen and UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva. Silva beat Sonnen with a literal last minute submission in their first meeting after Sonnen had dominated the fight.
Since, it has been non-stop trash talk about Silva by Sonnen. Silva talked about the fight on UFC Tonight. Via MMA Fighting:
Silva told Ariel Helwani on Fuel TV's UFC Tonight that he believes Sonnen would be wise to keep his mouth shut and get to work on training.
"Chael talks too much," Silva said. "Chael needs to train. No more talk, train. Going to Brazil? Big problem."
Silva gave the interview in English, perhaps another sign that he's hoping to match Sonnen's talk before matching up with him inside the Octagon. But Silva also said that Sonnen isn't going to get under his skin.
"I don't care about Chael Sonnen," Silva said.

remtaches galore!
atleast this one makes some sense.
Hmmmmm?
I took it more as a threat. If A.S were threatening you, you’d do well to know when he does.
I dunno, I think it was a good game plan by Condit……wait what ?

i don't remember him saying these words before the first fight...
plus andy hardly ever talks in the media at all, so why would he need to take his own advice?
"and then lost 22.5 out of 23 minutes"
In other words, he won the fight.

he really doesn't do much trash talking
seriously have you heard anything from AS in prefight hype ever?
Injured Silva choked out PED Chael.
Non PED Chael barely won a decision against Bisping.
Healthy Silva might make Sonnen the first in-Octagon death.
No, you're not drunk. I am this good-looking.

i'm sure he'll try to sneak and take them again
testing range is something like 200-1600
Chael will probably test 1599 the entire month before
See my sig
Chael will have to last 5 rounds. Not likely.

So pumped for this fight
Middleweight champion Anderson Silver vs. fiery challenger Charles Sonnet.
Also on the PPV is the long waited rematch between Victor Bellhop and Wonderboy Silver.
There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my violence conquer yours?

If the stand-ups are as rapid as they were at UFC 142
Then Sonnen is screwed. He can’t just rely on the one time he staggered Silva (as everyone ignores the four flush shots he threw that didn’t even faze him after the fact).
Oh yeah, even if it stays on the ground I expect another triangle choke.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
is the stagger
you’re referring to when Silva slipped? cuz yeah, i don’t think Sonnen even “tagged” silva except knock him off balance
Anderson did get clipped in the first round, by an ultra-sloppy overhand.
Dude was not on his game that night.
The slip was in the 5th.
Chael landed a hit on Silva that threw him of balance and like SSreeporters said, Silva took a bunch of flush shots to the chin like he was getting slapped with a moist towelette.
I'm a little hazy on 142
Were all of the stand-ups as quick as the ones in Belfort-Johnson? I remember thinking that they were giving Vitor every opportunity to win that fight.

142's standups
weren’t that quick, it was in Rio and Tan Dan was probably instructed to stand Johnson and Belfort up since there’s no commission there. But no, the other stand ups weren’t as quick IMO
I. Can't. Fucking. Wait.
I hope its a good fight. But we shall see.
Police have mounted a Phuket-wide hunt
Please, fighting is just a hobby
There’s no such thing as a “full time fighter”. Doesn’t Anderson know we know?

Chael Sonnen, this is what Anderson Silva really is saying to you
an “open picture” since a picture is worth a thousand words and i don’t do open letters

This.
Good fucking luck, Chael. I really do hope you survive.
No, you're not drunk. I am this good-looking.
Good Lord
imagine bumping into this guy in a dark alley…

Listen to him Chael, Anderson is training hard atm.
Anderson’s wrestling is going to be better than ever coming into this rematch.
Stupid fuckin iPhone lol. Yeah basically what I was sayin is Anderson is a creep and Chael will beat him down, again. I actually think there will be a riot when Sonnen stops him late in the 4th or so. Only way Andy can possibly win is if he adopts a Carlos the natural born chicken style strategy!
