A. Silva: 5 Irrefutable Proofs Why He Is Not MMA’s Pound-for-Pound King

A. Silva himself would have no difficulty accepting this modest estimation of where he really stands today in MMA.

The following words of wisdom will also serve as a crystal-clear dividing line separating the true MMA connoisseur from that of a mere dilettante. Aside from the fact that the latter is more prone to join the ranks of trolls while the former has greater chances of acquiring a college degree from an Ivy League institution, the latter is also (obviously) more likely to contest vituperatively this landmark article’s bold assertion, which—on the opposite side of the pole—the former will most likely acknowledge as the most important and erudite literary piece on modern MMA.

So, friends and foes, trolls and saintly intellectuals alike, dare to hear the truth and believe (Trolls are advised to seek assistance from literate company, unless they just want to look at the photos.).

There are some things in this world that men like that women don’t and things that women like that men absolutely hate.

For example, men love to drink lots of beer, yell at their television screens and burp in public, but women (usually) don’t.

Women, on the other hand, love to watch soap operas and gossip about every single person they know behind their backs, but men are not the same way.

After sex, men just want to roll over and eat a sandwich (I prefer peanut butter and fluff), but women want to cuddle and talk about their feelings.

Believe it or not, though, there are some things that both men and women share an interest in and MMA is one of them.

The sport is no longer the massive sausage-fest that it once was. MMA is quickly becoming a hotbed for some of the sexiest women on the planet, from ring girls to fighters to reporters.

With that said, let’s take a look at the 25 sexiest MMA girls of 2011.

Anderson Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Featured in New Honda Commercial

While neither competitor has any intention of facing each other in the Octagon, outside of the eight-sided cage, it seems that anything goes. 

Anderson Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira seem to be competing for more than just a UFC title in a brand new commercial.

The two Brazilians are seen shopping for a new Honda Hornet CB600F until they both become interested in the same model. Ultimately, Silva and Nogueira square off in a fictional bout to determine who wins the motorbike. 

It looks as if the UFC is taking advantage of advertising “The Spider” in his homeland after the amount of exposure he received to promote UFC 134. 

In hopes of achieving similar success in his next trip to Brazil, Silva seems to be expanding his celebrity status in his country and becoming one of the most well-recognized and successful professional athletes in the world.

This video was featured as a promotion for the 2011 World MMA Awards and further showed just how good Chael Sonnen is in front of a camera.

In the video, he plays a therapist for UFC light-heavyweight fighter Stephan Bonnar, who is having issues trying to channel the “American Psycho” within.  Obviously a ploy on Bonnar’s nickname but he has been good as of late.

A three fight winning streak, including a “Fight of the Night” performance with Krzysztof Soszynski at UFC 116 showed that the former T.U.F. finalist isn’t ready to hang up the gloves.

What happened next was pure comedy as Sonnen turned on his motivational tactics to send Bonnar on his way, to be the “psycho” he wants to be.

In the video, Sonnen also delivered a couple of punch lines that make me laugh every time I watch.

Sonnen asked Bonnar who the light-heavyweight champion is.  Bonnar said Jon Jones.  The sequence that followed allowed Sonnen to take another shot at middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

At the end, he called in welterweight contender Jon Fitch (who wasn’t featured in the video).

Overall, this was classic Sonnen.  Although he will never admit to being in the business of selling fights, there is no denying that his honesty and vocabulary are what made him so popular to begin with.

His fighting skill isn’t bad either as he is ranked No. 2 in the world, although he would disagree with that rank.

Again, the video just shows that Sonnen’s honesty and his quick wit allows him to be an entertaining fighter in and out of the cage.  Hey, maybe this video was a starting point for Bonnar to make a run at Jon Jones, avenge a loss and win the UFC light-heavyweight title.

If you’re like most Americans, the day after Thanksgiving provides some of the most ruthless shopping one can endure in a lifetime.

Most people grab friends or force their children to wake up and help grab all the deals they can. Shopping alone on Black Friday is pretty much consumer suicide.

With the recent reports (via Politico.com) coming out about people getting more and more violent this year (pepper spray? Really?!), it’s time we as fans request our favorite fighters to take off training for next year’s Black Friday in order to protect ourselves.

Who would you bring? Would you go for someone intimidating, the smartest fighter you could find, or maybe recruit one of the bantamweights and utilize their quick in-and-out movement?
