Over the past few months, all of our Anderson Silva updates have been ridiculous — like watching him dress up as Michael Jackson for Rolling Stone Brazil, fight Steven Seagal over terrible beer or judge gigantic South American asses. UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II is coming up on July 7, so the big question has been, “When is Anderson going to flip the switch from Bieber-hugging Burger King spokesperson to monster UFC Middleweight Champion and rage the shit out of this guy who’s been trying to piss him off for two years?”
That question has been answered: the UFC 148 conference call.
“First of all, Chael is a criminal. He’s been convicted of crimes. He doesn’t deserve to be inside the Octagon. And when the time is right, I’m going to break his face and break every one of his teeth in his mouth.”
Go on.
“The playtime is over. I’m gonna beat Chael like he’s never been beat before. There’s no more talking. I know he’s on the line listening, and the game’s over. I’m going to beat his ass out of the UFC. He’s never gonna want to fight again after I’m done with him.”
If that’s not enough to make you want to cut a piece of posterboard into the shape of a tombstone, write “R.I.P. SONNEN” on it and bring it to UFC 148, may Silva’s extended thoughts will be. In addition to breaking his teeth and beating him so badly he’ll never want to fight again, Silva promises which bones he’llbreak, from what angle he’ll break them and how badly he wants Sonnen to know it. I know these guys are professional fighters and everything, but if Silva ever said this about me I’d just jump off a bridge and be done with it:
“It doesn’t matter if I’m on the bottom, the side, the top, it doesn’t matter. Chael Sonnen’s gonna get his ass kicked like he’s never gotten his ass kicked before. What I’m gonna do inside the Octagon is something that’s gonna change the image of the sport. I’m gonna beat his ass like he’s never been beaten before. I’m gonna make sure that every one of his teeth are broken, his arms are broke, his legs are broke. He’s not going to be able to walk out of the Octagon by himself. I can guarantee that. And I know that he’s listening. The game’s over. No more shit-talking. It’s on now.”
Maybe Sonnen should look into those big contracts WWE is throwing at MMA guys and sheepishly back the f**k out of the room.

I don’t know what I love more. The contrast between this Anderson and the goofy Anderson, or this fight build and the Rockhold/Kennedy fight build.
This fight should be super rad.
Anderson Silva is goin’ full-force! He didn’t like it when Chael tried to treatcheat him or when he turned the tables (in a wrong way) on him.
Holy shit I think I’m going to watch this. You win, Lobster Mobster.
Hooray!
I like imagining that whole quote in Anderson’s high-pitched gentle Michael Jackson voice.
Have you seen the video of Pele Landi-Jons going off on Silva, and he mocks Silva’s baby voice?
I actually think more of Paul Bearer when I hear Anderson speak.
Anderson better ask Chael “Where is your wrestling now, playboy?”
And then he’ll probably get double legged.
This is going to be a sensational trial when they find Chael’s body and Anderson made all these threats. They’ll get Gil Grisolm out of retirement. Gonna be a very special episode.
“Your honor, I admit my guilt, I did a foolishness”
He also dropped a gem about changing the way people view the sport of MMA, I think he’s pretty serious about this fight.
Of course, he was mad at Maia for claiming to take home one of the Spider’s legs, and that just resulted in a lot of dancing.
If anyone misses this fight; I feel sorry for you. This will be such an over the top grudge match…. I have no more articulate thoughts to describe it.
War Silva!
Either Sonnen is coming off a roid cycle in that picture or he’s been training for this ass whipping by backing into a bed of nails over and over.
Dude, since when does Team Quest wash their mats? Staph makes champs!
Wait, since when is Jessica a male MMA fan’s name?
And I really do hope that this fight will be awesome. All this shit talking that leads Silva walking circles around Chael while he fails a takedown will make me yell at the TV.
oh, snap, jokes!
I think Silva has had enough of Chael’s mouth, he’s been dealing with it for two years now. I have Anderson by round 2 TKO. Unless he stretches out the punishment, I don’t think he’ll tolerate Sonnen for very long.
Yeah I’m hoping Silva doesn’t decide to play around in the beginning as he normally does. I want to see him go straight for the KO.
I dunno. I thought Guida/Maynard would be a dogfight so my radar is obviously impaired.
It was a dogfight. Haven’t you ever seen a large dog that’s better at everything chase a smaller, long-haired caveman dog around for half an hour, and barking at the little dog?
Chael’s going home with a broken arm, much as I’d like to see him win. His submission defense still sucks.
Sonnen via UD.
/Silva’s takedown defense is still worse than Sonnen’s submission defense.
