Did Sonnen finally get under Silva's skin?

"What I'm going to do inside the Octagon is something that's going to change the image of the sport," Silva said. "I'm going to make sure every one of his teeth are broken, his arms are broken, his legs are broken.
"He's not going to be able to walk out of the Octagon by himself. I can guarantee that."

One of the comments left after the article was interesting to me:

Sonnen fought an unmotivated and bored Silva last time out and overachieved. It reminds me of when Montell Griffin gave Roy Jones a battle in their first fight, then in the rematch an engaged Roy Jones destroyed him. Silva is going to walk through Sonnen with ease...and I actually enjoy Sonnen's antics, but he's a dead man walking.

I'm wondering what the community here thinks about Sonnen's chances and/or Silva's comments. I was surprised that I didn't see this posted here already, so if it was and I missed it, I apologize.

What?

A bored Silva--trolling?

That's never, ever, happened before.

I listened to the actual media call. I found it funny that Silva sounds so sweet and charming even when he is saying that he is going to knock out all of your teeth and break all of your limbs. Mike Tyson was able to sound mean and intimidating despite his feminine voice, Silva is incapable of doing so.

I think that's cause of the nature of the Portugese language.

This is what keeps me up at night as I'm thinking about the betting odds.

Dead man walking. I hope Silva figures out a way to incorporate a moonwalk into the vicious beating he is going to put on Chael.

I don't really believe it's much else than fight hype, considering we're only a few weeks out. But if it isn't, you can go ask Vitor Belfort what happened last time Silva took a fight personally. I think Sonnen is going to get crushed this time anyway. I doubt Silva will goof around nearly as much as he did in their last fight, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't knee-rape Sonnen's face into oblivion by the end of round 2.

I also find Sonnen's incoherent and incessant yammering to be annoying as a ************. How a ************ has not struck him with lightning for running his motherfucking mouth so much, I do not know.

I think, at this point, it's all just talk and fluff for the fight. I'm excited regardless, nfi who will take it out.

The bigger the fight the more money he is going to get. Silva probably just decided to help.
Having said that, i think this time around he is going to get fucked, and quick. Though i would love to see that arrogant bastard that humiliated my lovely Forrest get beaten for a change.
