For several weeks is the MMA world abuzz with the pre fight Sun talk of Chael, were the challenges of Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva for his title at UFC 117 on Saturday.Sun's speak - or, as it simply his promotion of the fight - terms has wieder.Und ranged from rear to comic outrageous and back it has even in the area that a many people raising collective eyebrow only what is exceeded his motivation.
As when he gave his Twitter denied as mentioned address controversial comments posted address had (at 45: 50-mark on the link), then it was his account. Or this week when he per MMA radio said that Lance Armstrong gave cancer by doping, according to appear then denied on the show about MMA fighting's Ariel Helwani and Jim Rome.
To be sure, Sun talked the talk, regardless of whether it in good fun or just downright unsettling out view of the psychic has been. But what is with his repeated statements that he hit five champions and 10 top-10 fighter?
Call the UFC-117 media last week, Sun claimed "12 guys in the top 10, beat 10 of you beat he fought each master in each organization, the it ever except and that was there because none of these guys would give me my shot."
He has his shot against Silva on Saturday.Suns went on his list of run down, which he has defeated:
"I beat the beat EliteXC Champion.Ich strike force Champion.Ich beat Bodog's Champion.Ich struck the IFL's champion." I hit the WEC champion zweimal.Ich beat every master in each company, that has ever been, and there are not other Middleweight living today can make this claim."
Take a look at the curriculum vitae.
Suns beat mentioned five champions – repeated this claim at pre-fight press conference on Thursday.
These masters are:
• Jason "Mayhem" Miller: Sun's first professional fight more than eight years ago, he beat Miller in a decision.More than four years later, Miller won the icon sport Middleweight champion.
• Jason Lambert: Suns beat "The Punisher" by Gladiator Challenge 20.Lambert decision would go on in the WEC in his pre Zuffa days to fight and win a free light heavyweight title in his second fight for the promotion.Lambert never defended from the belt and vacated by moving in the UFC.
• Trevor Prangley: Suns lost to Prangley in his sixth career Kampf.Es was the first loss of his career.But he Avenged this loss at UFC fight night 4 his first UFC win.Prangley would continue to Bodog fight's middleweight title 15 months later to gewinnen.Er added belts and shark fights light heavyweight belt around his collection - since then the maximum fighting Championship light heavyweight, but it is not clear whether Sun counts his victory over Prangley, as beat three champions.
• Paulo Filho: perhaps Sun's impressive claim he remains the only fighter defeat Filho - but he has a loss to him on his resume.Filho beat Suns at WEC 31 to defend title his WEC Middleweight champion.WEC 36 make weight for revenge not Filho - so that the Suns, a title shot denied wurde.Er won this battle by decision - a victory over a master, but no hardware, to show.
• Dan Miller: the first victory on Sun's current three fight series was the first loss on Miller's three fight an injured Yushin Okami the fight at UFC 98.Miller Middleweight, had been the IFL's replaced Skid.Sonnen, though he was never the belt verteidigte.Er also cage fury FIghting Championships Middleweight Champ in New Jersey, although again it is unclear whether Sun believes his victory over Miller means a victory over two different champions.
But Suns itself has a sixth World champion on his resume - Nate Marquardt, whom he at UFC 109 in February to beat Marquardt stopped. Pancrase the King in the middleweight Champ.Hat was something that, to include correct Chael?
Where it a little more complicated, but an examination of the Sun's claim of 12 fights against top 10 opponents with victories over 10 you.
Although Sun named did not say a best guess he Marquardt, Okami, Dan Miller, Demian Maia, Filho, Prangley, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Forrest Griffin, Akihiro Gono and Jason Miller probably meant is.
But the math not certainly addieren.Marquardt, Okami, Maia and Griffin have legitimate cases as on or near the top 10 in their Divisionen.Der rest that had all your time, but top 10 will probably depends, when and on which list.
In Sun's case is the only list which appears in his own Kopf.Ob makes no difference against Silva Saturday, role remains to be seen.
