"Sonnen is the sport's slag. He doesn't deserve to be in the UFC. He has legal problems, he's a jerk. I'll kick his ass. I'll rip every one of his teeth off. Who lives from the past are museum guys. I don't live in the past. I'll kick his ass. No more kidding, no more trashtalking. He's going down and I'll hit him like he's never been hit before. All of the times he didn't get beaten up by his mama and papa are coming back to him now... He's gonna get hurt. He'll swallow his teeth. After I spank him people will get frightened. I'll do something no one has ever done in the UFC: I'll break his face, his arms and legs. He's gonna get carried on a gurney. It's a professional fight but I'll tear him apart. He's gonna learn to respect the country that created the sport. He's a criminal, a scumbag, a piece of crap. He's not saying one bit of other fighters anymore. It ends here and now. No more jokes."

-Anderson Silva's comments during today's UFC 148 conference call were translated by his manager Ed Soares. Here are a few of those comments as translated and transcribed by Tatame.com.

Penick's Analysis: Mike Bacior made an interesting point this evening about Silva essentially being out for blood, and how fighting with that emotion instead of fighting to defeat Sonnen could work against him. It's certainly possible that Sonnen is too far in Silva's head for the Champion to effectively work, and we could see him off his game as he's intent on hurting Sonnen. However, it is just as possible that he's got all this pent up frustration sitting in the tank in order to unleash it on Sonnen come July 7. One thing's for sure, it's a bit refreshing to hear Silva's emotion for the fight, and if he indeed can channel the anger he's feeling into something dangerous and effective on July 7, fans could be in for something special.
