Uh-oh! Anderson Silva thinks Chael Sonnen is Disrespecting Him...

Chael Sonnen has been ripping into Anderson Silva for a while now with comments like, "He's a grown man with earrings. He's a grown man with saggy pants, pink t-shirts and crooked hats. Go join a gang, don't get in the UFC," and "I have a moral obligation to society to beat him up."
While Sonnen was talking about his civic duty Silva appeared to be ignoring Chael's troll job righteous anger but now the middleweight champion has pulled out the dreaded d-word.
"Chael, as a fighter, is a good politician (Editor's Note: didn't he drop out of an election?) He thinks he knows something, but on the day of the fight, when we are all alone in there, he'll have his chance. Once again, he's saying crap. What he's saying is disrespecting me, he's disrespecting me and all opponents I've faced. Dan Henderson, in my opinion, is the best wrestler that there is out there on MMA ... I'll keep doing my job the same way I've always done. I'll do a good fight, as I always do, I'll try to show my technical superiority."
Uh oh. There's the "d-word". The last time we saw Anderson use that word it was in the Demian Maia samba and it wasn't the good kind of samba.

maybe i’m over impressed with sonne’s win over marquardt, and maybe i’m a little to forgetful of his destruction at the hands of maia. but i think sonnen has a reasonable chance of winning this fight.
I'm old school hating Lesnar, I've been hating Lesnar since '08
I'm going to start being the BE or KidNate of commenters, I'm just going to copy and paste your comments and say "I agree & Dana White sucks!"
A bet's a bet:
"The #1 Heavy Weight of the World Brock Lesnar!" – "All aboard The Pain Train Chug a Chug a Choo Choo!"
really? he’s submission prone and needs to LnP for 5 rounds w/o getting KTFO’d or subbed. I’m calling Silva via triangle round 1
“Dan Henderson, in my opinion, is the best wrestler that there is out there on MMA " — looks like anderson needs to quit worshipping pig gods and watch some strikeforce

everyone says chael is submission prone
Yet his only submissions that come to mind are to maia and a mentally sound filho (even if he didn’t tap) to say someone is submission prone because they got subbed by two of the best mw bjj practitioners in the history of the game is reaching at best.
There are only a handful of humans on earth that could roll with maia, and filho before the drug abuse and mental issues. Anderson is not one of them

I hope anderson peppers him with jabs and leg kicks for 4 rounds. Seriously. I hope anderson makes sonnen look like the failure he is
It would be cool to watch Silva play the cat and mouse game with Sonnen for a while. But at least I know Chael Sonnen will not allow Silva to get comfortable in the cage. Well according to him anyway, he will put the pressure on Silva and make him fight. -cool!

Chael is a good promoter
Which is the main reason he got this title shot in the first place. While his constant babbling is annoying to most, it creates attention and makes people want to tune in to see Anderson break him in half.
He’s a good fighter with a decent shot at beating Anderson, so it’s all up to which Anderson is gonna show up to the fight…the one who crushed Rich and Leben or the one who danced around Maia and Cote.
Why do the irish fight amongst themselves? NO OTHER WORTHY OPPONENTS...
The one who danced around with cote leites and maia. Was fighintg near perfect fights. Did he lose any of those 15 rounds????

yes
He lost the last round he fought.
And a big difference is that if he gasses, sonnen will take him down with EASE.
