If you’re like me, and I’m sure that a lot of you are more so than you’d like to admit, you can’t wait to see what shenanigans that playful scamp Chael Sonnen will get into at today’s weigh-ins.

If the video above is any indicator of the focus of his training for his fight with Anderson Silva tomorrow night, he may punk everyone and try to stand and bang with "The Spider." If he pulls it off and wins the fight on his feet, expect the Internet to implode with all of the fairweather fans coming out of the woodwork to say "I told you so."

For the record, I predicted Chael would upset Anderson on the latest episode of The Bum Rush (which you should listen to if you count yourself a true member of the Potato Nation), but I may be eating my words come Monday morning.

Anyway, we’ll have the live stream of today’s festivities starting at around 7:00 pm ET, so check back then to see what goes down.

The video feed is after the jump.

Gone are the days of seeing Chuck all hopped up on "NyQuil" rambling on about fighting Tommy Morrison and Vernon "Tiger" White on morning television. "The Iceman" has reinvented himself physically for his fight with Rich Franklin tomorrow night in Vancouver at UFC 115, which means night clubs and pharmacies have taken a hit beyond what the recession dealt them.

Feel free to rewatch the video, reminisce about this bizarre moment in MMA history and talk amongst yourselves until the stream of the weigh-ins goes live tonight at 7pm ET.
