Chael Sonnen Recruits Vinny Magalhaes to Prepare for Anderso

I really, really hope someone throws a flare and it ignites some Zuffa higher ups: Dana, Lorenzo - hell, I'd even be satisfied if I saw Burt Watson or Ratner get nicely toasted.

Not a great move by Magalhaes,he won't be going back to Brazil anytime soon.

Meh. People in Brazil don't treat Silva like they do Nog and Wandy.

Same thing was said about Leites, Cote and Maia and we all saw what happened. Its MMA and anything can happen.

Anderson put full power in a lot of his shots, and Chael ate 'em and took him down. Silva isn't some BJJ whiz either, so there's no way Silva can learn TDD vs a world class wrestler in chael in the time it takes to learn Sub Defense vs a mediocre bjj guy like silva

lotsa mediocre stuff lately

U guys are talking like he just got up this morning and said," hey I should probably try this jew jiff sue stuff." He's a top level fighter and trains accordingly I assume. I almost guarantee that after that first fight he worked on his defense and hasnt stopped. He will not get caught in a submission this time around. Hes gonna beast mode AS and take his rightful place as UFC MW champ. U win and loss UFC title belts, but you never lose the people's belt!

then how do you explain his numerous triangle losses?
quit suckin' his dick.
he looked like shit in his last fight.

[dougthekoug]

I don't think this will help




the guy has a real problem it's called multiball-envy

HAHA great! two butt buddies hanging out wit eachother! they would make a great couple!

He did look like crap but he is still one of the best MW's in the world. You cannot deny that fact.

I feel like it's going to be too little too late, Anderson has been training takedown defense his entire camp instead of just two months out. Anderson knows what Chael brings to the table, and that's wrestling and ground-n-pound. Anderson has ridiculous striking, and his BJJ game has been proven several times before.

Also, it'd be kind of wild to see Chael take Anderson down and try to submit him instead of just ground-n-pound... perhaps he's bringing in Magalhaes for a lot offensive BJJ training as opposed to strictly defense? Honestly that wouldn't be a bad strategy on his part, he'll probably be able to take Anderson down and I feel like Anderson would be completely shocked if Chael had any submission attempts.

Either way, War Spider.

I think anderson is aware of his offensive grappling as he displayed it against stann and bisping but anderson has a better guard and ground game when chael gets on top he might get swept and pounded unconcious

[slevin]

Isn't anderson training with jacare and roger gracie? I think anderson has the advantage in grappling and has better grappling partners! haha

not necc, he trains and is a bb under the nogs... its not like anderson sees these guys on a daily basis as if he were training somewhere like aka or att.. blackhouse is a stable not so much a gym, with anderson,nogs,and machida haveing their own gyms. anderson has a gym in LA and also trains at kings mma. while i wouldnt doubt he does bring in gracie or jacare it wouldnt be like hes training with them every day. blackhouse is run similar to camp jackson where they have multiple gyms under 1 stable, and not necc they all train wth one another. jds trains mostly in brazil and his jitz with the nogs, i dont think he trains much with anderson or machida(was actually vocal about shogun beating machida the 1st fight)

In the same way though, Chael probably isn't training with Magalhaes every day either, maybe for a few weeks or so.

Well lets hope chael isnt training with vinny everyday! and Silva is training with jacare and roger everyday!

[rmelgar9]

So much integrity of chael to finally train some jujitsu !
