That was absolutely electric. Unlike any weigh in I've ever seen and it was all down to the crowd. There were a lot of boos for both men when they were on the mic and I can see the crowd being split come tomorrow's fight. Mike Dolce proves again he is the expert of cutting weight.

I felt Anderson had the crowd in his corner slightly, my sound on my laptop is not the best though.

 

That was awesome, but I fear that one of these 2, more likely Silva is going to go too far tomorrow at some point. People are calling for his head on other outlets for the weigh in.

How long before the weigh in is replayed or reupped? My stream cut out towards the end. Thanks for before Jim.

 

Its ok found it on tube. Thanks again Jim.

 

How can I get my very own T-shirt, as worn by Joe Rogan at the weigh ins? I've looked on the website. Can't see it.

That was awesome. Unprofessional on Anderson's part, yes. A dick move, yes. But fucking brilliant to watch.

Yeah Anderson defo got more boos than I expected. It's hard to judge what the crowd reactions will be like on fight night compared to the weigh ins though. It's a smaller crowd of mostly the more hardcore fans so it's hard to guage what the crowd will be like tonight off that.

 

Could be mixed but I'll hazard a guess that it will be a more pro-Anderson crowd tonight. Tito got a nice response aswell, and Forrest looked well fired up.

 

Really can't wait for this.

 

edit

 

oh yeah did anyone spot the awkwardness between Rogan and Royler Gracie at the weigh in aswell? Probably stems from Royler's beef with Eddie Bravo, but Rogan looked like he was waiting to say hello/shake hands etc and Royler just blanked him :D

These two are hoping for a massacre tonight;

"I wanna grab one of Sonnen's teeth. The guy's disrespectful. They way he advertises himself is a wrong way of advertising, it's disrespectful. He does those warm fights. He's a tough fighter, a super athlete, but his kind of fight doesn't sell, doesn't convince, he's not a dangerous striker nor a submitter. Where he gets his popularity from? Talking. He's a guy who says bad things about countries, the athlete, Anderson's wife, the way he dresses... He gets into things that doesn't matter. If he said he was going to beat Anderson and explained how I guess it was okay, but he gets into personal stuff and that's a mistake. Anderson did good on responding to him.

 

He was submitted by Demian, Sobral, Paulo, Anderson, Jeremy Horn... I guess he says bad things about Jiu-Jitsu and Brazil because of that: he's traumatized by Brazilians' ground game. He's good on the ground, knows who to defend himself and Jiu-Jitsu. He trains with Brazilians. How did he learn that? Were he born with natural Jiu-Jitsu skills? He says bad things about Brazil and Jiu-Jitsu but trains it. He wants to improve his flaws but it won't happen this time. I guess there's a knockout to come this time".

I'm hoping that Anderson's recent antics are him simply doing his bit to ramp up interest in the fight, and that Sonnen hasn't gotten inside his head with his nonsense.

 

Truth be told, I'm not sure. Silva was easily upset by some pretty tame stuff in the past, and if he comes in with a head of steam he could end up getting caught.

 

I seriosuly cannot fucking wait for this fight. I'd probably be more into it if Sonnen hadn't been quite as over the top with his promotion and had been a bit more realistic with it, but even when you cut all of the shite away you can tell that we have two top class fighters who aren't too fond of each other, which always makes things interesting.

ive changed my mind, originally i thought Anderson was playing games back. Now i think he's genuinely pissed.

 

The last time we saw any kind of real emotion out of Anderson at the weigh-in was for the Vitor Belfort fight, and we all know what happened there.

 

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ariel Helwani pre-fight with Steven Seagal

 

Chael is in trouble.

 

Honestly, the whole Seagal thing is just baffling. Anderson and his whole camp are clearly friendly with Seagal, but it's unclear whether they genuinely listen to the guy or if they just feel a little bit sorry for him. It's without doubt one of the most baffling association's in sports.

 

Was coming to post this myself. Seagal continues to get more insane each time we see him. Bat shit crazy. Great stuff about him passing messages to Soares and the illegal moves :laugh:

 

There are probably more eyes on this thread than there normally would be, so here are the rest of the videos from MMA Fighting. Some good stuff

 

Anderson Silva pre fight presser scrum

Forrest and Ariel

great post.

 

love that interview with Chael. Comes across as a very genuine, likable guy. I'd love to know what was said between him and Renzo Graice.

Royler cornered Comoes is fighting Guillard. Watching it back with the dodgy music and the guy stripping down, Rogan looks nervous in a gay porno.

 

Not sure I see it.

Rogans shirt is quality. I want one.
