Appropriate Sponsors



Professional athletes and celebrities will take sponsorship from anybody, whether they intend to use the product or not. I’ve taken some people and shown what it would look like if they were sponsored by products they actually use.

Wanderlei silva
Sponsor: Scuba mask


This pic isn’t even edited, he really wears it just like this. Any generic scuba mask will work, he doesn't even care if it's watertight.


Roy "BK" Nelson  
Sponsor: Burger King

 

This one’s just obvious. There’s no TRT in these burgers.


Plaxico Burress
Sponsor: Glock

 

Side note: He actually had a concealed carry permit from Florida at one point, which is crazy to think that he had no idea how to actually concealed carry.  It’s popular belief that he was wearing sweatpants, but he was actually wearing jeans. Designer jeans, with a Glock tucked into the waistband.


Jon "Bones" Jones
Sponsor: Ace Rent a Car


He’s gonna need some way to get around after he ran into the only roadblock in his career so far. Winner, by TKO..... Telephone Pole!


Quentin "Rampage" Jackson
Sponsor: All State with Accident Forgiveness

 

Did you accidentally evade police while performing multiple hit and runs in a giant truck with your face painted on the side? If you did, then you need accident forgiveness, only from All State.


Tiger Woods  
Sponsor: Match.com

 

He’s already got a profile on there as you can see. Hobbies include hitting from the rough, sexting, and driving golf carts.


Bill Gates  
Sponsor: Supercuts

 

Seriously, he is always near the top of the richest men in the world, and he just don’t care that his hair is a mess.


John Williams  
Sponsor: Howard Leight Ear Muffs

 

The music he is creating in his mind right now is more important than anything you will ever say. If you interrupt him we’ll have to finish the movie with Danny Elfman.

Anderson Silva



Silva VS Bonnar


Not really an ideal matchup for MMA fans. I would've rather seen Silva fight somebody relevant. But it doesn't matter, Silva still made it worth the price of admission. Silva put his back against the cage several times and taunted. 


He let Bonnar land a few shots just so the fans could think he Bonnar had a chance.




Bonnar was 14-1 underdog. If I told you somebody used the rocky theme as entrance music, you probably would’ve thought it was Bonnar. But it wasn’t. 


Not many doubters left at this point, Silva is the GOAT. On Saturday he proved he can crush a can in a new and exciting fashion.

 

Some people will still argue that Fedor is the GOAT and I guess I haven't seen enough of his fights to be able to argue against it. but that's partially his own fault for not joining the UFC.


Bonnar gave it his best with a spinning back kick, but it wasn’t enough. After the fight Bonnar said he was hit in the solar plexus and temporarily paralyzed. He started to regain movement shortly after the fight was stopped.He's just lucky he wasn't hit with the 5 point palm exploding heart technique.


Bonnar had never been finished, not even by Jon Jones, so a first round finish was pretty impressive. Bonnar thought so himself.



 


I was like



I would also like to point out that Silva has a 2nd job. When he isn't training, he judges musical ability on the show X-Factor and goes by the name of Antonio Reed.


  Clearly, they are both the same person.

UFC 148: Silva vs Sonnen 2....Electric Boogaloo


It's Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime.  Mike Goldberg will probably say that this is the biggest rematch in the history of our sport.....and you know something.....he's right.

Quick history for those who forgot:
Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen.
Sonnen beats Silva for 4.5 rounds.
Silva locks the triangle.
Silva wins.
Sonnen fails his drug test....elevated testosterone.
Sonnen almost ends up in jail for real estate / money laundering.

2 years later we get this rematch but with a twist.  Sonnen is allowed to use his TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and there is nothing Silva can do about it......unless he kills him in the octagon.

Why does Silva Win?
Striking, BJJ
Honestly, Silva can end any fight when he wants.  Look what he's done to every opponent he's faced.  He's toyed with them, he's knocked them out with one punch, one kick, etc.  He's like a Brazilian Jedi.

Why does Chael Sonnen win?
Wrestling, TRT

Honestly Sonnen does have the best wrestling in the middleweight division.  Combine that with his TRT and it would be like the Incredible Hulk wrestling a bear.

"Sonnen Smash"




Why Silva doesn't win?
Take-down defense.  Pre-existing injuries.

A few weeks ago there was a story that said Silva tweaked his knee in practice.  I didn't buy it, but even if he did I don't think he would have dropped out of the fight.  Also his take-down defense isn't the greatest.  I've seen a majority of Silva's fights in & outside the UFC.  He's never had the best take-down defense.  Against Travis Lutter, Hendo & Sonnen he was taken down @ least once, and dominated for @ least 1 round.  I can see it happening again but not for a full 5 rounds.  2 rounds max.

Why Sonnen doesn't win.
Submission defense.
He can't stop the armbar / triangle choke.  Even Forrest Griffin submitted him with a triangle early in his career.  If you have been submitted 8 times in your career, and 7 of those have been by triangle / armbar.......then you need to work on your BJJ.







Who wins this & why?
Chael Sonnen has ran his mouth for the last 2 years.....and he's saying he will beat Silva for 5 full rounds.  Silva has told the press he will break the arms, legs, and teeth of Sonnen on Saturday.  What can we expect?

Silva by TKO.  He will try to end this early, and he will.  I can't really see this going past the 2nd round....but I said that the last time.  Who knows what will really happen on Saturday?  All I know is that it's going to be a slobber knocker.
