He is definitely a lot more motivated to kill Sonnen this time around and a motivated Anderson Silva is impossible to beat.

Anderson Silva tells of plans to break Chael Sonnen?s face | Cagewriter - Yahoo! Sports

Dude, given how their last fight went, I also cannot wait to see this one. Who can solve the Spider? He's cleaned out the entire weight class

If my cousin is busy and for some strange reason doesn't want to watch the fight live, I'm so down for a Mid-A UFC fight night, even if it's just you and me there.

At first I was like you guys, very, very, excited to see the rematch. Now, not so much. I really think Silva is going to smoke Sonnen. Silva won't make the same mistakes again, and Chael looked bad against Bisping, of all people. Don't get me wrong though, I'm pulling for Chael to win.

I think Silva will smash Sonnen as well and I can't wait to see it happen. Silva is by far my favorite fighter and I love to watch him do his thing.

Bet we could get Cwiz and maybe Bobo.

Probably. My cousin never responds to me every time I text him about it. I'll let you know if I can do it or not once I hear back from him.

For me it's not so clear after Silva. As I keep watching UFC I see new fighters getting better and better and watch other people I've never seen before and instantly love their fighting style. I'd say after Silva for me would be Shogun, Jon Jones, JDS, and Aldo in some order. So many, I can't decide

I would still love to see Silva vs GSP before he retires. I think Silva would win, but it would be a great fight.

I can't stand shogun. don't know why either. just don't enjoy watching him. For a period of time I loved watching lyoto because he was so different.

For me Shogun's fights are a hit or miss. When he's at his best, I love the way he fights. At other times he just looks sloppy and out of shape. I think he could have done better against Jones, but his fight against Henderson was amazing. I really thought he had won that last fight, but it was a close one.

100%

Love Machida for his Karate.

When he takes it seriously, I think Silva is nearly unbeatable, he's just a freak of nature. GSP is the most technically sound, but if someone could get a solid shot on his chin I think he could go down; connecting is another story. We'll see how he is when he comes back. Bones Jones is still developing, but I'm glad we might finally have a true champion in that class.

[GaleForce]

There is no doubt that Silva is a great fighter, but I lost a lot of respect for him when he was doing just enough in the first 2-3 rounds to win, then spending the rest of the fight back pedaling or dancing.

I like Machida's fighting style as well and was kind of hoping he would beat Jones. After the Jake Shields fight, GSP doesn't seem to be quite as dominant as I thought he was before. I know he tried to put on a little weight for that fight and it did seem to slow him down enough that he wasn't at his best.

It's scary when you think about how good Jon Jones can get with more experience considering he's still relatively early in his MMA career. If anyone has a chance to be as dominant as Anderson Silva has been, it is definitely him. He does seem to come off as really "fake" and arrogant, which I don't like, but as a fighter he is simply amazing.

Yeah, Machida had Jones in the first round, I was hoping he'd pull it out too. I worry about GSP, I think he might be on the downhill with his injury.

Definitely agree with you on Jones, he has incredible potential. I'm not sure about him as a person. I thought he seemed awesome, but the DUI certainly didn't help...

It kind of bothered me too. Who knows why he does it, maybe he just gets bored during the fights from the lack of competition. Seems like he's only like that when he's not motivated for a fight, like when they put some weak azz people against him. I'm definitely not approving of that kind of behavior, but it is what it is.
