You really shouldn't mess with Anderson Silva

So, there  was a little PPV over the  weekend.  Did anyone see it?  Not only was it the greatest marketing tactic of all time, it was pretty exciting soap opera.  Chael  Sonnen, who is a fighter from Oregon, hapened to do decently against the Spider 2 years ago, before choking big time in the Fifth and final round.  He choked big time.  After bitching and kvetching for months about how sucky Anderson was, lo and behold there was right winger Sonnen tapping like a BITCH to a triangle choke.

Fast forward some 2 years, and Sonnen has been on a non stop campaign to get another fight.  We had the rematch last night.  Would Silva be able to hold off the tough fighter from Oregon?  Was he getting old?  Did Sonnen indeed have his number?

The answers were: 1) Of course 2) No f'ng way and 3) The answer was for sure that Sonnen had no one's digits.  The end was quick, and brutal.  It involved a solid knee to the body and some killer ground and pound.

Fighters get old almost overnight, ad you gots to look at the Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin to see 2 shot fighters.  However, Silva is clearly an athlete that is at the top of his game.  Why would sonnen chase him for two years, and make  fun of Brazil, his family, his wife??  I just don't get why you would piss off an elite fighter so that he would want to beat you badly!

Like any elite fighter, Anderson took one round to figure Sonnen out, and then just erased him in the 2nd.  It was a clear example of how you should NOT wake up a sleeping giant!!!

From a weekend standpoint, it was pretty good.  Spent alot alot of time at the pool.  T is reallly learning to swim big time.  Good stuff.  T also might be a budding rapper as he is running around yelling "Here we go, here we go, yo; so what the  scenario, yo?"

Pool party today.  Pretty ok stuff.  Still looking to meet some peeps. We shall see. Just had the lovely Susannah visiting from NYC. Awesome to see her.  Too short a visit.

So, loving the vibe here in the Flo-Rida.  Still hoping to click w/ folks. Hoping I'm not driving those near and far too crazy!?!
