I wasn't talking about Sylvia when he was the champ, people ragged on him pretty hard for most that time. I was talking about Sylvia back when he was 21-0 all by stoppage or something like that. Back before he fought Mir.

He's the greatest HW, but not the greatest period.

If it was not for Sonnen I doubt Silva would be in the position he is now.

And I do not know about anyone else but I am down for a 3rd Sonnen v. Silva fight. It does not need to be tomorrow, it can be 2-3 years down the road. I doubt Silva will still be champion and Sonnen won't be a Top 10 MW but it would be a great swan song fight for Silva.

Your anti-Silva bias is once again bleeding all over your posts. Silva was kicking ass before he even came to the UFC, and before he even fought Chael Sonnen.

Considering Chael was a relative unknown If anything Sonnen owes him a thank you note for the same reasons you listed. Its the oldest trick in the book, find a high profile target, talk shit and attempt to use them as a stepping stone to elevate your status.

Silva already broke UFC records meanwhile Chael was getting submitted by Maia. The only one Silva should be thanking is GOD first, his family and friends as well as his training camp. He can even thank the UFC for giving him an avenue to showcase his skills.

Chael should thank the UFC for giving him multiple shots at the title because he could have been banned from the company for drug abuse like Nate Marq...

Agree....

Sure they both made a ton of money off of this fight, but Sonnen ran his mouth and has anderson to thank for his new found fame.

dont forget about Segal as well!

I don't know, really. Bones beat 4 top guys in a one-year period, which is unparalleled in modern combat sports, but I still think JDS has as strong of a resume, overall. Plus, he's not coming in with a freakish size advantage over the opponents he's facing.

You could make an argument that Jones has done more, but I wouldn't say he's "way more impressive."

He gave his opinion, you gave yours. I agree with his.

What you are forgetting is that Silva's last fight before Chael 1 was Dameien Maia, you know the one where he played the air guitar and ran around the ring for 5 rounds...Dana was ready to give him the boot for a performance like that (or at least threatened to) Silva's PPV numbers were never great before Chael and this rematch will draw huge numbers for the UFC in PPV buys because of Chael finally getting Anderson to respond.
