Yeah - should be interesting to see how Sonnen fares in there ...
Jim Rome is Burning:
JIM ROME: Good, Dana. You were furious after that fight with Anderson Silva for his performance against Demian Maia. You called it the most horrible thing you’ve ever seen. Specifically, what did he do that made you so mad?
DANA WHITE: Well, you know, nobody’s supported him more than I have, calling him the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world and he didn’t act like it the other night. Not only did he not act like the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, he didn’t like a champion and, a UFC fighter. Taunting, not fighting, and then… from the third round on, running, and not actually engaging, it was a very embarrassing moment for me. I actually literally have never seen anything that bad, not even in boxing in all my years of boxing I’ve never seen anything as bad as what happened on Saturday night.
JIM ROME: So when you confronted him with that afterwards, what was his response?
DANA WHITE: You know, we had a good talk for about 45 minutes after the fight and after the press conference and, you know… you never know. We’ll found out in his next fight if I got through to him or not. The thing that really, really upset me after the fight and then the press conference was where he said he felt like he didn’t owe anybody an apology.
JIM ROME: Dana, why did he do that? What was going through his mind and what did he tell you when you asked him?
DANA WHITE: I wish I could explain to you and to the fans and the people that bought that fight why he did it or you know what was going on. Even if you look at the early rounds in the fight, the first and second round, the guy shows sign of absolute, you know, brilliance. I mean, the guy is so talented and I don’t know what it was. It was like a mental breakdown in there or something. I don’t know why, but I can tell you this — like I said, I’ve never been more embarrassed. I got up during the fourth round, took the belt, and gave it to his corner and said, “You put it on him because I’m not going to do it,” and I left the arena. I’ve never done that in 10 years.
JIM ROME: All right, so you’re not in a good place. You didn’t like it, he disrespected you and the sport and the fans. Is there some sort of punitive, is there a punishment that you’ve going to drop on him? Is this going to cost him for instance a shot against GSP?
DANA WHITE: Oh, I mean there’s, there’s nothing that I can really do to him financially. You know this thing, you know, he’s contracted to get paid and he gets paid, it’s just one of those unfortunate things that happens and you know, uh, I had the talk with him. I think personally I really believe that he was embarrassed by what happened that night. Maybe he did have a mental breakdown, I don’t know what happened in the ring, but all I can say is, I know his next opponent isn’t going to be a guy whose going to lay back and let him do stuff like that to him. Chael Sonnen’s going to take to him and hopefully we never see that again.
JIM ROME: Yeah, I would have thought…
DANA WHITE: I’m telling you right now. If he ever acts like that again in the ring, I will cut him. I don’t care if he’s the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. I don’t care if he’s the Middleweight champion.
JIM ROME: You’ll fire him?
DANA WHITE: I will cut him, absolutely.
Well i called it...Chael Sonnen (R) extrodinaire

i hope you guys know that the translater for Silva isn't really translating anything but changing up his whole speech.
here is what he really said.
here is what he really said.
Soares is a bitch too.

i cosign silva 500%
ed aint a bitch he's just cleaning it up for the morons
he caved in maia's face and won the match - end of story
Actually, you're wrong. Here's a side by side translation of what he was asked and what he said and what Ed Soares said.

Watch out for my Anderson Silva new mix video comin up.
Leroy,
That mix sounds dope.
Who you got in the STRIKEFORCE joint tomorrow? Should be good ... their cards are always pretty good. Looking forward to it and also WEC 48 the weekend following. Always fun to see Henderson / Shields / Lawal / Melendez / Aldo / Faber / Brown / Cerrone / Henderson / others throw down.

The odds on Mo were too good to pass up. I put some dough on him, though I think Mousasi can take it. I don't know about his TDD.
I think Hendo works Shields, but I would like to see Shields win just so he can hold up SF for more money.
I got Aoki winning.
Mayhem on the undercard too.
Yeah I might cop that WEC PPV too.
Yeah - pretty good card all-around. Good to see Mayhem on that undercard too, as you noted. Yeah ... I'm really thinking about copping the PPV with my boys next weekend. A few of them AREN'T too familiar with WEC though, so they may be a bit hesitant. I've recorded some past events on dvd and shown them clips before, so hopefully that'll get their interest going plus WEC never really dissapoints. We were gonna buy 6 - 8 tickets to UFC 115 ... but that fucker sold out in record time when they made it available to their UFC FAN/FIGHT CLUB members ... fuckers bought all the tickets. Some chick called into http://www.thebeat.com and said her and the bf paid $80 for membership (just to buy tickets) and spent $320 apiece on 6 tickets (for the upper bowl). The radio host (a UFC fan too) joked that you have to be a drug dealer to afford tickets, and asked her if her man was dealing. And then later joked - "If your man gets killed, call me ... I'll go to the event with you"
For the homie LORD IRON (per his request in the IN CASE YOU MISSED IT thread). Reply added to both threads.

I just got a chance to see the Silva fight for myself......
That shit looked like an audition tape for the next season of DANCING WITH THE STARS on ABC, didn't it? Silva made a complete ass of himself and the spectators there in attendance that night and the hundreds of thousands of idiots who actually pay for the damn PPV buys
