Oh yeah your right.
We'll see, BJ still looked nice in that fight, I think it just wasn't his day.
man the silva hate is in full effect because he smashed a dudes face in and chilled instead of koing him or making him tap out
i dont think i like the way mma is headed
hey sick and close fight equals healthy and ass whoopin for frankie
he's gonna diego that nigga - open his melon up like its breakfast
you can tell they all thought chuck was a joke with that x bullshitThe Royce impersination hurt my sides.
The hate is outta control.
That nigga Silva was cold with it.
Frankie just outclassed BJ that night, plain and simple.
Yeah - very intelligent fight. We were cheering for him at the party in that he worked for his title ... played it smart, and deserved the decision.
Yeah - Mir needs to regroup again.
Damn. It's good he didn't go full steam, cuz he probably would've severely injured him far worse.
That nigga Silva was cold with it.
again. Silva did his job. Maia is just not on his level.
again. Silva did his job. Maia is just not on his level.
just imagine if silva went in like dana and all these suckas wanted - he'd have a fuckin death on his hands
im tellin yall someone is gonna die in the ring or in the hospital right afterward and I got money on Jon Jones doing it
Cats cannot see that. Dude knew he was gonna lose, Silva was wanting him to do something, but Maia was too scared.
You know this man and yeah Bones be trying to kill folks in that ring.
Nah it'll be close, in any sport you're going to find somebody who has your number, Penn fought well and still got hammered.
Nah. Penn slacked off in his training. He stopped using Marinovich who was the one responsible for his transformation. Plus he had that neoprene sleeve on his knee.
no he didnt - he had sinusitis and couldnt train for two weeks and still is on antibiotics and marinovich came to hawaii to train him - unless his manager lied cuz thats what he said
Yeah - during some post-fight clips on UFC's site Maia was noting that dude was cursing at him in the octagon. Thanks for that additional info' about some of the insults/taunts being levelled at homie ^
Yeah ... it sure was a different BJ in there last Saturday. And the 155lb division should be REALLY interesting now ... should be neat to see what happens next with BJ/FLORIAN/MAYNARD/MILLER/countless others!

**********************************************
Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has announced via Twitter that pre-sale tickets for UFC 115 at Vancouver's GM Place have sold out in just 30 minutes.
Premium members of the UFC Fight Club were given first crack at tickets Tuesday morning and gobbled them up quickly, with mixed martial arts fans from the U.S. and across Canada tweeting their excitement at getting access to the event scheduled for June 12 at GM Place.
Tickets were scheduled to go on sale to the general public Thursday. It is unclear at this time as to whether any tickets have been set aside for the public, or whether the entire ticket allocation has been sold out, but scalpers are already asking $400 for $75 tickets on Craigslist.
The event will be the first Canadian UFC pay-per-view fight card outside of Montreal, which has held two events previously and is due to stage another on May 8 when Brazilian karate specialist Lyoto Machida and kickboxer Mauricia Rua fight for the light heavyweight title.
Former champions Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell and Rich (Ace) Franklin are scheduled to headline the Vancouver fight card after Tito Ortiz was removed from the main event for undisclosed reasons.
The Vancouver sell-out would be the fastest in UFC history, assuming all tickets are indeed sold. The fastest-selling event previously was Montreal's UFC 83 at the Bell Centre, which sold out just one minute into tickets being made available to the public.
Other fights on the card include:
Heavyweight bout: Mirko Filipović vs. Pat Barry
Welterweight bout: Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
Welterweight bout: Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
Lightweight bout: Tyson Griffin vs. Evan Dunham
Lightweight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
Heavyweight bout: Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
Welterweight bout: James Wilks vs. Peter Sobotta
Welterweight bout: Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
Welterweight bout: Mike Pyle vs. Jesse Lennox

Nah, what I heard was BJ was showing up late and blah blah old BJ and Marinovich left back to the mainland.
"Dana White was just on Jim Rome is Burning and stated that Anderson Silva's (26-4) next fight will be a middleweight title defense against Chael Sonnen (24-10-1). He did not announce a date for the bout. White also stated that if Silva ever acts like he did at UFC 112 again, that whether he is the champion or not, he will cut him."
Can Dana White really be this clueless? Silva doesn't give a fuck about being cut. Everyone, including Dana, knows he's among the best (if not THE best) MMA fighter in the world. Look, Silva wanted to fight the best competition, and Dana White didn't/couldn't deliver. The result was a recent fight againt a very scared, and unwilling to strike, Maia when Silva left himself OBVIOUSLY open. Yet, Silva is the only one being chastized. I don't know what Silva's camp is advising him, but I think he'd be better off doing Steamboat armdrags for duration of his next fight and then moonwalking back into his corner after each round so that Dana does what he threatens. Silva has already proven what he went out to do. He won't get "serious" again until adequate competition is provided. Period.

Silva was on his bike and literally running in the last round and a half but Maia is partially responsible for the lack of action in the 3rd and 4th round by being too frightened to push his attack. Had he fought in those rounds like he did in the closing minutes of the 5th, Silva would have had to finish him.
sounds like the old db bj we all know
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeeeee i hope he fights like chuck liddell and clowns the whole fight so we can see dana try to cut him - that shit is a lie
but i wish it were true so we can see mousasi fight him

Sonnen on UFC 112: Says he's not surprised by Silva the 'dirtbag'
By Steve Cofield
In a fight world littered with media types and fighters who have been afraid to call out Anderson Silva after he puts on awful displays that show a lack of respect for the fans, the sports and his employer, Chael Sonnen has been a bit of a renegade. Before UFC 109, he had some choice words for the UFC middleweight champ. So it's not shocking to hear he had a strong reaction when MMAJunkie tracked him down today for reaction on Silva's ridiculous, clowning win over Demian Maia. Sonnen fired away.
"I wasn't surprised," Sonnen told MMAJunkie. "It is par for the course."
Sonnen, who last fought in February, has been mending injuries and working towards his run for public office in Oregon. He along with Vitor Belfort should be next in line for a shot at the champ.
"There's people out there that need (to be) beaten up – he's one of them. And I have a moral obligation to society to beat him up."
Sonnen wouldn't go as far calling Silva unsportsmanlike but he did call him a dirtbag. His rant back in January included a diatribe about how Silva shows a lack of respect for the very people who prop him up.
"It’s quite ironic that all the media comes on and talks about how great this guy is for reasons that are completely un-understandable to me. How great Anderson Silva is, and all of us fighters are in the back going, ‘jeez, they’re out there massaging his ego, Anderson hates them so much, he pretends he can’t understand them."
"You want me to let you in on a secret, Anderson Silva speaks perfect English," Sonnen told MMAWeekly Radio. "He just has such a low amount of respect for you and all the rest of the media that he pretends he doesn’t. I’ve had conversations with Anderson Silva in perfect English."
If that's the case, it's probably not too far-fetched to say that Silva has the same lack of respect for ticket buyers and the fans watching at home.
