I have not been more hyped for a fight ever. Im a huge supporter of Chael Sonnen and was pretty gutted when he lost the first fight. He was the first person to basically man handle Silva and had nothing to show for it. Sonnen is in Silva's head and it shows. Silva tried to start a fight with Sonnen twice this weekend. This is probably the biggest fight in MMA history.  Heres what went down at the weight in's and a few hype videos.

The main event was alright but I just had that sinking feeling once Sonnen slipped up throwing that wiffer of a spinning back fist.  I was most confused with the Forrest walking out of the Octagon after his fight with Tito... I mean it felt like the decision could have went either way but Tito also seemed winded early on and really didn't try too much after the opening 2-3 minutes.  Boring fight otherwise.

I hate the fact that Silva had to hold on to Sonnen trunks to avoid the take down in round 2.

Sonnen found out don't talk shit, and give you opponent and leverage, to motivate himself even more, especially if you talk about his family, etc.

I still think that knee Silva threw while Sonnen was against the cage was a little on the illegal side....
