During his two-year break from MMA between November 2009 and November 2011, he was competing in jiu-jitsu tournaments around the world, including claiming gold and silver medals in Abu Dhabi in 2010. After a stint like that, one would expect him to come out with tons of subs, but he came back with a first-round knockout in the Philippines and a decision win over Chinese submission artist Tiequan Zhang in his UFC debut nearly a year ago. He is making his long overdue second appearance against a strong wrestler in Parke, which should make for an interesting match-up.
I believe Chris Weidman will destroy him again," Sonnen said. "This is not a knock on Anderson Silva; he's an awesome fighter. And he's had an amazing career. But in the history of boxing, in the history of MMA, a rematch has never favored the older fighter. You're talking about a decade of an age difference. It's very, very unrealistic to believe that Anderson is going to win that rematch. This is not to say he can't do it, but it's unrealistic to see how that's going to happen. Sonnen then took it upon himself to throw a little insult Rogan's way, as he ripped into the comedian's age.
It felt great to get this win here in the UFC," Barnett said after finishing Mir at UFC 164. "It's been a long time coming. And it's great to get this match-up with Frank.

Here’s a video of me running through a boxing workout with UFC fighter Joey Beltran. In this video we cover how the scapulae influences shoulder mechanics when landing a punch. It is a common occurrence to find a fighter shrug when ever they throw their boxing strikes. Although this is taught by several coaches out there, the greatest fighters of all time have instituted different biomechanics in their punches than what they’ve been taught. By utilizing the thoracic spine and retracting the scapulae, Naudi Aguilar helps Joey address a problem that has been present in the elbow and shoulder during his training.
Sonnen is set to fight Rua on Aug. 17 in Boston, for a chance to move up the ladder in the light heavyweight division. I want to fight Anderson Silva more than I want to wake up tomorrow morning," Sonnen said. "I don't care if he has got the belt or not. I MMA don't accept the outcome of either of our fights; I don't acknowledge that for one day he was the better fighter than me." It pisses me off when someone does that to me and I knew sooner or later, I'd get him," Weidman said about Silva's in fight taunts.
