Silva-Sonnen II Likely Next (IMO)

But there's no doubting Silva vs. Sonnen II could do big business. White, after all, said UFC 117 is on pace ("trending") for a big PPV buy total.

"Trending tonight was insane," he said after the event. "We think we did a big number tonight - a really big number. If not one more [expletive] person buys this pay-per-view, I'm happy as a pig in [expletive]. That's how well we did.

"We have a little formula, and we know how to calculate what we think we're going to do. It was a 'holy [expletive]' moment again."

I think we'll see Vitor get a tune-up fight with someone and remain on the sidelines. The UFC won't want to miss out on the business that a rematch could do since people now know Sonnen can back the shit talk up. I expect to see Silva-Sonnen II headlining a card in November-December while Vitor fights on one of the free Spike cards as the UFC sort of "re-introduces" him back to the casual fanbase

so basically the PPV did average than alot of people ordered it after the fact, no surprise

I think Silva vs. Sonnen is worthy of an immediate rematch...and personally, i think Belfort needs a tune up fight.

I think it might be same old same old for Sonnen though. I do buy the story that Silva was a tad bit hobbled last night.

Kings gets the award for best sig and avatar.

DANG! I thought I earned best sig/avatar grouping.

You've beeen bumped to 2nd. Need 1 more brunette hottie Your choices are Meagan Fox, Rachel Bilson or Jessica Biel

cracking down on streaming will help some too. It all adds up plus sonnens mouth sold a few extra as well.

Olivia Munn keeps distracting me from the subject.

Vitor should have went to Strikeforce, this return to the UFC has been a waste of time.

Bilson. By a mile. Mila Kunis would have worked for me too.

Being offered a title fight in a division you've never competed in promotionally is a huge waste of time? Vitor would have fought for the title months ago if he didn't get hurt. I don't have any problem with him having a tune up first. Ring rust is real. Look at Alves. The Alves that butchered Hughes or the one that beat up Kos would have murdered Jon fucking Fitch.

I think a Vitor fight would be more compelling with a quality win first. Match him with Yushin Okami in a title eliminator. Okami's ever improving boxing would create a great match up anyway. Either winner would be a credible threat to Anderson standing now that it's established like any other man Silva can be punched in the face.

But as for Chael rocking Silva, I wonder if that had to do with his injury. Maybe he under estimated Chael's ability to mask and deliver quick shots. Is Chael that good of a striker? Is Anderson slowing? Was he hurt? Did he underestimate Chael? Is it a combination of these factors?

Would rather see another guy, Vitor, have his shot. I like rematches for close finishes, being a decision nine times out of ten. There was no controversy or closeness in this fights finish.

No and I never watched the original.

Is that why you own every Sex And The City season on DVD ?

Man I liked his work with Twisted Sister and the House of Hair but Snyder in that role was too much.
