true, and hes earned his shot that was a great win over nate...i just wish silva would make that permanent move to LHW nd we could see some real superfights...
out of everyone in the mw division, sonnen is the most worthy, however, i much rather see belfort vs silva tho but i guess sonnen did what he had to do to get a title shot
He has a better chance than Mia, but that doesn't mean he's can actually pose a threat to Anderson... Anderson just needs to move up weight permanently.
Krogan, your just spamming with A.Silva hate atm and dont know what your talking about. You say "He has never been interested in moving up and its the UFC asking him to do it"?
The UFC were the ones that WOULDNT LET HIM do it. He has wanted to fight anywhere from WW to HW and they wouldnt let him until he "cleaned out the division".
Hate on him for his last performance, thats at least a respectable reason, but dont make shit up, just makes it obvious that your hating for the hell of it.
He better get interested in it. Since he has pretty much cleared out the MW division, there isn't much competition left. Going to LHW would be ideal for him, not WW.
Still a fight that would put asses in seats and sell tickets. I know I would love to see it. W Silva is in fact past his prime, but he is still dangerous. He is one of those guys that u never know what you are gonna get. He is definitely not unbeatable, but at the same time, he could walk away with a victory and nobody could actually be surprised....Dunno if that makes sense or not, but yea if u get what I am trying to say lol
they won't fight each other, they just made their peace... i would be Wand all the way, but anderson would probably knock him out easily... unfortunately..
this is the next easy fight for silva!! dont think sonnen have the speed and the stand up!! and everybody knows how good silvas takedown defense is!! and if silva isnt able to finish sonnen in the first 2 rounds, we will see the next chicken run!!!
I know Sonnen really hyped up this fight but the UFC really needed to put him against an elite 205er to honestly challenge Silva so hell perform like we all kno he can. Some of u guys are so fickle its pathetic.
I was never impressed with Chael until his last fight. It takes a legit fighter to dominate Marquardt like that. If Marquardt couldn't get off the mat, then Silva won't be able to either. If Silva's going to lose his title it will be to someone who can hold him down.
All Chael has to do is take down Anderson, but that's much easier said than done. I would much rather see Sonnen get knocked out than win by decision. As exhausted as he was after fighting Marquardt, could he hold Silva down for 5 rounds?
You do realize he's the best fighter on the planet? And the champion of the MW division of the UFC. So if a garbage man is worthy to face the champion of a weight class in the UFC, what does that say about the UFC? Your a troll
Firstly Silva is overrated, people seem to think that moving around equals winning a fight, I guess its the same people that thought Edgar won that fight. Silva's biggest asset is his opponents being thrown of by his odd style.
Anyway Anderson doesn't want to go up to LHW, never did and its not hard to look good when your manager picks your fights for you.
Personally I would love to see Silva pull that shit again and see if Dana will back up his words and drop Anderson.
Well.....Here's a guy that knows absolutely nothing about MMA. Lol, I dont know what else to say regarding the posts I have read from you. I mean here is a guy that sits back and just posts random thoughts without even taking a moment to evaluate the validity of his statements!! Krogan, I bet that you got in trouble alot in school for not raising your hand and just blurting stuff out like a kid with turrets. BJ won you say? Wow I bet his after-party was out of this world!! Also, Silva has an "odd" style? Since when did Muay Thai style clinch and kicking people in the head become an "odd" fighting style? Maybe its his odd dance moves you're referencing? I dont know for sure......
@danC454 agree with you man, the clown will go down, he even fail to stand with maia in 5th round. Chael will make a Brazilian cheese burger out of him.
Im not surprise reading this crap from a Fedor worshiper. Silva will beat Chael, but what i want 2 see if Dana's man enough 2 put the belt around Silva's waist after all this shit talking!
Sonnen has to take Silva down to pound him out. How is that going to happen? Did you see the Dan Henderson fight? Sonnen is not Hendo's level so I just don't see a wrestler taking Silva out. He needs to face a dude with nasty standup who will trade with him and press him. He really just needs to move to LHW.
i dont see much of disrespect, this is not a gentlemans game, i mean is nice when fighters are not douchebags but everybody talks trash before the fights with him, he makes his thing inside the octagon. but hate to ****ing admit it he disapointed me a lot in his last fight by not trying to finish maia
i would like to agree with u but im not sure if chael is actually good enough to destroy silva, if he does end up winning it would have to be after an absolute war, but im not sure i see that happening
sure he's worthy. when your a champion like A.Silva or GSP who have cleared out their divisions, then really just randomly throwing the top 4 challangers at the champ is totally ok. its not like the UFC awards title shots based off of "rank" in your weightclass, and really having your fights follow a clear ranking system is the only way you can say that one fighter has "earned" a shot. so unless the UFC abandons its practice of match making based on precieved marketablility over individual fighters independent rankings, we can expect to see anyone just thrown in there with the champ.
Actual wrestling? What does that even mean in this context? Hendo is an extremely decorated wrestler and has demonstrated it in MMA fights against some of the best fighters out there.
dude i read your name and just start laughing.. it doesnt matter what u say.. you could tell me the world's ending and i'd still laugh just cause of ur name
Hedo got rocked early in the fight and that's why he lost. Sonnen really hates Silva and in my opinion can beat Silva with side control and some good old fashion g&p. Can't wait to see the spider get stepped on. Did anybody think he could man handle nate? He did convincingly.
do i think sonnen will lose yes and i like sonnen alot more than i like silva but i do think he will make an intresting fight if anyone can get silva to the ground it would be a solid wrestler like sonnen. i honestly dont think that silva''s takedown d is that good hendo and lutter didnt have much problem i think it was more of a lack of takedown skill on the behalf of maia an leties
your absolutely correct, BJJ ins't very takedown oriented they generally practice the most basic takedowns and really just focus on the aspects of already being on the ground.
i would bet that Silva is good enough to probally escape Sonnen on the ground, Sonnen hasn't displayed the best sub d. i see Silva getting takendown and using a figure 4 wristlock of sometype to escape back to his feet, Sonnen will get battered on his feet, takedown Silva, wash rinse repeat....untill one is gased enough for the other take advantage. i think Silva's cardio at this weightclass at least is a little bit suspect and we have no real knowledge of Sonnen's championship round cardio.
the only way i see Sonnen beating Silva is if Silva gasses first and Sonnen gets pulled off from some GnP. Silva has way more means to win the fight good enough to sub Sonnen BJJ and of course he is lightyears beyond Sonnen in the stand up.
Dunno bout worthy, but he's the only real interesting fight left for Silva at MW bar Belfort. Silva had a hard 1st round vs Hendo's wrestling so you never know
maybe because he is a long time friend and training partner of hendo and can talk to hendo and try to repeat his sucsess and leave out his failures against a. silva just a thought
Im a huge hendo fan, with that said. people gotta stop using the hendo argument that since henderson is a wrestler and lost, the same exact thing will happen with sonnen. sonnen is big and uses his wrestling much more. Hendos greco is top notch but hell try to stand and bang with anybody sonnen will use his wrestling more than anyone anderson has ever faced which I think will make this fight different than everyother silva fight and exciting
I think Sonnen has captured the hearts and minds of fans with his media blitz, but look at his record. Not that great. And he does his best work on the ground, where the fight will never end up. So basically, just expect him to get KO'd or for Silva to pull the same shit he does will all ground fighters.
Sure he worthy after the performance he put up against Nate. However, i think his bark is louder than his bite & i'm left to wonder why isn't Belfort getting the next shot as he's the rightful #1 contender.
No, thats not true. When a fighter steps out of a fight, unfortunately whether its his fault or not, he does lose his "spot" for the time being IF there is another contender already set in stone and lined up. Sonnen was promised this spot since the fight at 109 was declared a number one contender spot to face the winner at 112. Now, that fight was supposed to be Belfort vs Silva, and had Belfort won he would be fighting Sonnen obviously, but they cant push Sonnen aside. Although, I cant speak for everyone, but I think we would all rather see that fight!!
What makes some of us think that Sonnen will make a better fight than Maia's or what can Sonnen do that Dan Henderson can't do? Anderson Silva Needs to fight in the LHW division.
What makes some of us think that Sonnen will make a better fight than Maia's or what can Sonnen do that Dan Henderson can't do? Anderson Silva Needs to fight in the LHW division.
I think A. Silva took the maia fight as a joke obviously, because NO BODY thought maia would win. I think since chael sonnen actually thinks he has a chance against A. silva, anderson will strike to his best ability and end it before we can even realize what happened
No, thats not true.

Although, I cant speak for everyone, but I think we would all rather see that fight!!
Chael will smother him with GNP, it will be the end of Silva's career. to beat silva you need a wrestler, and no body is better than the Olympic wrestler Chael Sonnen.
Worthy? Sonnen's absolutely worthy to go in there and get his arrogant loudmouth overhyped repugnant ass ktfo'd. Unfortunately as guys like Mir and Sonnen prove every time again, beating them senseless doesn't stop them from trash talking some more. Silva by KO first round.
Well its good new becouse its going to be fast... at 117ufc... At 111ufc title fight 112 ufc title fight, 113 title fight 4, 5 no title fight and 116 , 117 again with titles... Man ufc is going wild
sonnen has nothing i mean, just for 1 bad thinng silva did in his last performance verybody hateshim now and think that sonnen will win.I know sonnen will attack silva so thats what silva needs to get him, but i have to agree that sonnen has more chances to win than maia
He should be fighting the top guys at 205 . Period.
Chael may do better than some others have, but seriously I don't even care about this fight. Seems like another fairly easy KO for the "p4p champ". I'm just not impressed.
Its funny to me that Silva acting foolish seems to some how effect his abilities as a fighter to so many people all of the sudden? Let me ask u this? WHAT THE F*CK IS A CHAEL SONNEN? Lol, this guy stands no chance at all!! I do feel that he will attack because he will feel more pressure to do so to up-show Maia and please the powers that be, but that only means that he is getting his brain kicked out of his ear!!
Why is everyone thinking belfort is the answer, besides one win over franklin at 195 which rich didnt look like vitor hasnt had much of an impressive resume, hes not mentally there for the fight with silva. Hes gone back and forth on saying if he even wants the fight
sonnen is the best UFC chance we got, silva looks huge compared to the other mws, especially maia whos like 5'9 not the case with sonnen. and silvas strong takedown defense is excellent against bjj takedown..but it wont hold up against good old fashioned badass american wrestling! sonnens going to get him down and makeit ugly and either ;pull out a decision or make silva beat the piss out of him in an ugly battle out of anderson comfort zone with his finesse stand up...either way very happy with this fight selection!
I think he has media blitzed his way into this fight. I think he is a top contender, but does he deserve all the hype that's behind him? That remains to be seen. His last two fights were great, but his record is not all that impressive. He is going to need to take Silva down. And how is he going to do that? Silva needs to fight a guy with wicked standup to really be tested.
Who's done best against him so far? Hendo and Lutter in both their first rounds, the two strongest wrestlers and the two who were willing to get in tight and take him down.
Chael is tough as nails, strong willed, and mentally rock solid. He'll come in prepared, with the right game plan, and he will have a good chance. I won't put money on this one either way, but if anyone is going to do it, it'll be Chael. Chael might have a better chance than Vitor.
I'm no fan of what Silva did to Maia, but I've got to say, it'd be wonderful to watch Silva humiliate fratboy Sonnen for five rounds till he cries. I'd say go ahead and let Dana White's punk ass kick Silva out of UFC. I'll applaud Silva all the way!
I know its to bad Silva was told not to do that again.....I wish he would have saved it for Sonnen. He will DEFINITELY taunt tho! Its because it is like seared into his fighting style lol, I dont think he even thinks about it, he just does it. Of course, with Maia that was different, that took malicious premeditation. Point I am getting at is that it wont be to that extreme, but there will be SOME show boating, and I wonder how Dana will react to even a little now that the cry baby has something to prove.
People have figured out how to fight Anderson, staying on the outside. Forest had a real chance to win that fight, he's just too easy to goad in to a toe-to-toe slugfest. He has the leg-kicks and the reach and to take Anderson the distance and maybe win.
Chael can win this. His wrestling is right up there with Hendo's. If he can get the fight to the ground (if he can take Nate down like that, he can take Anderson down), It's just a matter of surviving the strikes to get close enough to grab Anderson.
Comments
He is a legit fighter. I think he has a much better chance than Demian Maia had.
true, and hes earned his shot that was a great win over nate...i just wish silva would make that permanent move to LHW nd we could see some real superfights...
I agree and his last fight he did really well against Nate,.. I thought
it was going to be Nate but when he gets out of rythem he just cant get
back
I guess everyone forgot that Sonnen LOST TO Mia...
out of everyone in the mw division, sonnen is the most worthy, however, i much rather see belfort vs silva tho but i guess sonnen did what he had to do to get a title shot
What about Jon Jones guys ?
That would be the ultimate draw
who wouldn't wanna watch that ?
He is still young and at the moment I dont see Jon Jones lookin to drop down a weight class as he is a LHW.....
sonnen will get knocked out quickly. he is aggressive. anderson is to good a counter striker for chael.
He has a better chance than Mia, but that doesn't mean he's can actually pose a threat to Anderson... Anderson just needs to move up weight permanently.
I would like to see A Silva vs W Silva seeing as Wand is at MW atm
It seems that Silva has never been interested in moving up and its been the UFC asking him to do it.
Krogan, your just spamming with A.Silva hate atm and dont know what your talking about. You say "He has never been interested in moving up and its the UFC asking him to do it"?
The UFC were the ones that WOULDNT LET HIM do it. He has wanted to fight anywhere from WW to HW and they wouldnt let him until he "cleaned out the division".

He better get interested in it. Since he has pretty much cleared out the MW division, there isn't much competition left. Going to LHW would be ideal for him, not WW.
Silva has expressed interest to moving all the way up to HW, and the UFC said no, so i not sure what headlines your reading
w silva is past his prime...very exciting fighter but with just a win over bisping he doesnt deserve it
Still a fight that would put asses in seats and sell tickets. I know I would love to see it. W Silva is in fact past his prime, but he is still dangerous. He is one of those guys that u never know what you are gonna get. He is definitely not unbeatable, but at the same time, he could walk away with a victory and nobody could actually be surprised....Dunno if that makes sense or not, but yea if u get what I am trying to say lol
they won't fight each other, they just made their peace... i would be Wand all the way, but anderson would probably knock him out easily... unfortunately..
silva said he wouldnt fight anderson since they helped him with his fight against bisping and hopes to train with black house in the future.
wonderlei wont fight anderson*
Friends or not they should fight like Fitch and Kos should fight
this is the next easy fight for silva!! dont think sonnen have the speed and the stand up!! and everybody knows how good silvas takedown defense is!! and if silva isnt able to finish sonnen in the first 2 rounds, we will see the next chicken run!!!
i am waiting for vitor!!!!
I know Sonnen really hyped up this fight but the UFC really needed to put him against an elite 205er to honestly challenge Silva so hell perform like we all kno he can. Some of u guys are so fickle its pathetic.

I agree totally.
after his last performance, a garbage man is a worthy challenger for silva. hope Sonnen knocks his Ass out!"
You do realize he's the best fighter on the planet? And the champion of the MW division of the UFC. So if a garbage man is worthy to face the champion of a weight class in the UFC, what does that say about the UFC? Your a troll
hmmm i'm a troll? because i fail to share the same opinion as you?
yeah he's a great fighter, but his antics at 112, leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, he's a disrespectfull ass
dont take everything so literally you tube
Firstly Silva is overrated, people seem to think that moving around equals winning a fight, I guess its the same people that thought Edgar won that fight. Silva's biggest asset is his opponents being thrown of by his odd style.

@danC454 agree with you man, the clown will go down, he even fail to stand with maia in 5th round. Chael will make a Brazilian cheese burger out of him.
Sonnen will ground and pound silvas ass!
and even if silva gets a submission and a shocking win!
Sonnen will teach the spider a lesson!
and if silva dosent pull the submission Sonnen will be the champ!
even if it is by desicion! i bet he wont be running like a jackass!
a politician champion in a combat sport ! that would be someting worth watching!
Im not surprise reading this crap from a Fedor worshiper. Silva will beat Chael, but what i want 2 see if Dana's man enough 2 put the belt around Silva's waist after all this shit talking!

Well, with all the name calling aside, its not about you sharing the same opinion, but he did state a fact.....Silva's the champ, ass or no ass!
i would like to agree with u but im not sure if chael is actually good enough to destroy silva, if he does end up winning it would have to be after an absolute war, but im not sure i see that happening
You guys are like women with how fickle you are. It's amazing.
sure he's worthy. when your a champion like A.Silva or GSP who have cleared out their divisions, then really just randomly throwing the top 4 challangers at the champ is totally ok. its not like the UFC awards title shots based off of "rank" in your weightclass, and really having your fights follow a clear ranking system is the only way you can say that one fighter has "earned" a shot. so unless the UFC abandons its practice of match making based on precieved marketablility over individual fighters independent rankings, we can expect to see anyone just thrown in there with the champ.
What can Sonnen bring that olympic wrestler Dan Handerson can't do better?
He can bring ground and pound, and actual wrestling.
...of course Marquardt, Hendo, and Belfort should have been the challengers, in that order.
Dana f*cked up giving Belfort an immediate title shot, screwing Marquardt and pissing Hendo out of the UFC.
Exactly.
Actual wrestling? What does that even mean in this context? Hendo is an extremely decorated wrestler and has demonstrated it in MMA fights against some of the best fighters out there.
dude i read your name and just start laughing.. it doesnt matter what u say.. you could tell me the world's ending and i'd still laugh just cause of ur name
After his terrible performance at UFC 112.
I think anyone deserves a title shot against him. Even my Grampa, he is 78 years old and only has 1 leg.
Well get gramps out there & lets see how he fairs
he can throw his prostetic limb at him and KO silva via Leg toss
Hedo got rocked early in the fight and that's why he lost. Sonnen really hates Silva and in my opinion can beat Silva with side control and some good old fashion g&p. Can't wait to see the spider get stepped on. Did anybody think he could man handle nate? He did convincingly.
Only have to do Sonnen is looking for punches Anderson's face.
Silva never got hard punched on his face, this is weak side of him!
this is what I think.
do i think sonnen will lose yes and i like sonnen alot more than i like silva but i do think he will make an intresting fight if anyone can get silva to the ground it would be a solid wrestler like sonnen. i honestly dont think that silva''s takedown d is that good hendo and lutter didnt have much problem i think it was more of a lack of takedown skill on the behalf of maia an leties
your absolutely correct, BJJ ins't very takedown oriented they generally practice the most basic takedowns and really just focus on the aspects of already being on the ground.
i would bet that Silva is good enough to probally escape Sonnen on the ground, Sonnen hasn't displayed the best sub d. i see Silva getting takendown and using a figure 4 wristlock of sometype to escape back to his feet, Sonnen will get battered on his feet, takedown Silva, wash rinse repeat....untill one is gased enough for the other take advantage. i think Silva's cardio at this weightclass at least is a little bit suspect and we have no real knowledge of Sonnen's championship round cardio.
the only way i see Sonnen beating Silva is if Silva gasses first and Sonnen gets pulled off from some GnP. Silva has way more means to win the fight good enough to sub Sonnen BJJ and of course he is lightyears beyond Sonnen in the stand up.
Dunno bout worthy, but he's the only real interesting fight left for Silva at MW bar Belfort. Silva had a hard 1st round vs Hendo's wrestling so you never know
Still wanna see Silva move up in weight though
He is going to get that chin clipped and it will hurt A LOT. If Henderson couldn't do it what makes people think Chael wil????
maybe because he is a long time friend and training partner of hendo and can talk to hendo and try to repeat his sucsess and leave out his failures against a. silva just a thought
Im a huge hendo fan, with that said. people gotta stop using the hendo argument that since henderson is a wrestler and lost, the same exact thing will happen with sonnen. sonnen is big and uses his wrestling much more. Hendos greco is top notch but hell try to stand and bang with anybody sonnen will use his wrestling more than anyone anderson has ever faced which I think will make this fight different than everyother silva fight and exciting

So basically, just expect him to get KO'd or for Silva to pull the same shit he does will all ground fighters.
Any fighter who lost 10 or more fights is used to lose PERIOD.
Sure he worthy after the performance he put up against Nate. However, i think his bark is louder than his bite & i'm left to wonder why isn't Belfort getting the next shot as he's the rightful #1 contender.
No, thats not true. When a fighter steps out of a fight, unfortunately whether its his fault or not, he does lose his "spot" for the time being IF there is another contender already set in stone and lined up.

Although, I cant speak for everyone, but I think we would all rather see that fight!!
So if it is Sonnen...then he should stop trash talking now so Silva won't feel disrespected and will want to fight?
What makes some of us think that Sonnen will make a better fight than Maia's or what can Sonnen do that Dan Henderson can't do? Anderson Silva Needs to fight in the LHW division.
What makes some of us think that Sonnen will make a better fight than Maia's or what can Sonnen do that Dan Henderson can't do? Anderson Silva Needs to fight in the LHW division.
who will be next after sonnen? silva is just to much for middleweight
Sonen will fall like griffin
I think A. Silva took the maia fight as a joke obviously, because NO BODY thought maia would win. I think since chael sonnen actually thinks he has a chance against A. silva, anderson will strike to his best ability and end it before we can even realize what happened
in UFC Sonnen or Belfort out side UFC Shields, Paulo Filho,Hector Lombard, all this guys can destroy the Chicken
Belfort is number one contender! he did´t fight because of his injury, so he could be the next to fight anderson...

Sonnen will get raped but at least he'll fight Anderson unlike maia
Chael will smother him with GNP, it will be the end of Silva's career. to beat silva you need a wrestler, and no body is better than the Olympic wrestler Chael Sonnen.
Worthy? Sonnen's absolutely worthy to go in there and get his arrogant loudmouth overhyped repugnant ass ktfo'd. Unfortunately as guys like Mir and Sonnen prove every time again, beating them senseless doesn't stop them from trash talking some more. Silva by KO first round.
I agree but I accidentally clicked weak, so subtract one weak!!
lay prey all day
Well its good new becouse its going to be fast... at 117ufc... At 111ufc title fight 112 ufc title fight, 113 title fight 4, 5 no title fight and 116 , 117 again with titles... Man ufc is going wild
HUH?
I am starting to think Anton is just throwing out polls to meet a quota..
ahhah same here.
What kind of question is this?
sonnen has nothing i mean, just for 1 bad thinng silva did in his last performance verybody hateshim now and think that sonnen will win.I know sonnen will attack silva so thats what silva needs to get him, but i have to agree that sonnen has more chances to win than maia
I would have to disagree. I believe the turning point is when he said he would put away Nate, and did..
he layed on him the whole 3 rounds he wont be abble to do that with silva
Ya, ya.. and Franky has no chance of beating BJ, right?
I heard your song and dance before. Chael can and probably will.
By the way "superfan", title shots are 5 rounds..
He should be fighting the top guys at 205 . Period.
Chael may do better than some others have, but seriously I don't even care about this fight. Seems like another fairly easy KO for the "p4p champ". I'm just not impressed.
Its funny to me that Silva acting foolish seems to some how effect his abilities as a fighter to so many people all of the sudden? Let me ask u this? WHAT THE F*CK IS A CHAEL SONNEN? Lol, this guy stands no chance at all!! I do feel that he will attack because he will feel more pressure to do so to up-show Maia and please the powers that be, but that only means that he is getting his brain kicked out of his ear!!
Why is everyone thinking belfort is the answer, besides one win over franklin at 195 which rich didnt look like vitor hasnt had much of an impressive resume, hes not mentally there for the fight with silva. Hes gone back and forth on saying if he even wants the fight

I think he has media blitzed his way into this fight. I think he is a top contender, but does he deserve all the hype that's behind him? That remains to be seen. His last two fights were great, but his record is not all that impressive. He is going to need to take Silva down. And how is he going to do that? Silva needs to fight a guy with wicked standup to really be tested.
I am really going to enjoy the pre fight trash talking though. It should be some of the best ever. At that, Sonnen is clearly the champ.
Silva's weakness is strong wrestlers.
Who's done best against him so far? Hendo and Lutter in both their first rounds, the two strongest wrestlers and the two who were willing to get in tight and take him down.
Sonnen by ground and pound TKO in the 4th
Chael is tough as nails, strong willed, and mentally rock solid. He'll come in prepared, with the right game plan, and he will have a good chance. I won't put money on this one either way, but if anyone is going to do it, it'll be Chael. Chael might have a better chance than Vitor.
I honestly believe that Chael Sonnen can and will beat Anderson Silva, he's tough, in your face, and keeps a good pace going
I'm no fan of what Silva did to Maia, but I've got to say, it'd be wonderful to watch Silva humiliate fratboy Sonnen for five rounds till he cries. I'd say go ahead and let Dana White's punk ass kick Silva out of UFC. I'll applaud Silva all the way!
I know its to bad Silva was told not to do that again.....I wish he would have saved it for Sonnen. He will DEFINITELY taunt tho! Its because it is like seared into his fighting style lol, I dont think he even thinks about it, he just does it. Of course, with Maia that was different, that took malicious premeditation. Point I am getting at is that it wont be to that extreme, but there will be SOME show boating, and I wonder how Dana will react to even a little now that the cry baby has something to prove.
Honestly I have no interest in Anderson anymore, so where is the "who gives a shit" option.
Then why have u continuously posted on this thread?
People have figured out how to fight Anderson, staying on the outside. Forest had a real chance to win that fight, he's just too easy to goad in to a toe-to-toe slugfest. He has the leg-kicks and the reach and to take Anderson the distance and maybe win.
Chael can win this. His wrestling is right up there with Hendo's. If he can get the fight to the ground (if he can take Nate down like that, he can take Anderson down), It's just a matter of surviving the strikes to get close enough to grab Anderson.
Chael is next in line so he deserves the shot ...
this will be a better fight then maia 4sure but i still got silva 4 this 1
got nothing against chael, but i think it is just an easy fight. he needs higher tier opponents. Mir/Vitor seems like more of a challenge.
