"To talk about me is easy," Anderson Silva says in the above preview vid. "Try to beat me." Ah, there’s the rub. Chael Sonnen‘s trash talk has been absolutely epic in the run-up to this fight, but it remains to be seen if he can even back up one tenth of it in the Octagon. Meanwhile, Roy Nelson has finally earned Dana White’s respect with his knockouts of Brendan Schaub and Stefan Struve, and is "a definite contender for the heavyweight championship." To get his shot, he’ll have to become the first UFC fighter to endure the fists of Junior Dos Santos, who has been leaving a very impressive trail of bodies in his wake. It’s a matchup that guarantees excitement, as opposed to main event, in which…well, if Silva dances around and mocks his opponent for five more excruciating rounds, don’t act like you didn’t see it coming.
After the jump: E. Casey Leydon follows Roxanne Modafferi and Sarah Kaufman as they prepare for their 135-pound title match at Strikeforce Challengers, tomorrow night in Everett, Washington. The event kicks off on Showtime at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

commentsHonestly this fight sucks cuz as I really like both those fighters, slightly partial to "Cigano" cuz I met him and he's a fucking smart monster.
But back to my point no one is going to "kill" much less "man handle" JDS as he's too fast, too slick and too strong, and unlike a Slice of Bimbo he can get out under the moon that is RBCN.
And Silva vs Sonnen, let the lesser douchebag win.
Sonnen is a good fighter but I always disregard the one fighter with the biggest mouth. That would be Sonnen.
I am hoping that Silva shows his skills and art in his fight with Sonnen. If he decides that it's time to showboat, or fuck around. I will start cheering for Chael. Just like I did with Silva's fight with Mia. No fighter deserves the humiliation that I seen with Damian and Anderson. It was a black-eye for MMA. Dispite Anderson getting the "W" in my eyes he won the fight,... but lost the battle.
@glassjawsh
Just curious? why do you dislike Sara Kaufman after that video piece?
Yeah Sonnen is an idiot, most people realize that, but Silva is a jackass, so we have a battle of the dunces.
I could't care less who wins this fight, I hope Silva gets explosive diarrhea and Sonnen breaks an ankle on the way to the fight.
Good thing the rest of the card is decent.
I like Rogan's comment, "There is absolutely no way this fight won't be a war!"
Which Anderson shows up? The lazer-beam-for-fist, Matrix-esque, devastator? Or the knee-punching, scissor-kicking, clown?
50/50?
See I divided by the square root of Demian Maia and multiplied by Nate Marquardt but do I add or subtract Yushin Okami. And where do Forrest Griffin and Jeremy Horn fit in this equation.
Anyway, my prediction, whoever wins this fight is a dick for one reason or another.
