    Silva is no where near as physically strong as Jones.

    Yes he is, Anderson Silva is a few years older and JJ hasn't reached his potential yet. Simply put, JJ doesn't have that grown man strength just yet.
     
  3. This.

    Jones by TKO round 1 easily and Sonnen knows it.....

    There is a better chance that CM Punk will knock Jones out mid match with a steel chair. Then challenge Sonnen to a TLC match, than Chael beating Jones.

    If Chael doesn't get destroyed the TUF experiment will work. Everyone either loves or hates old Chael. He is good for TV and ratings

    One big question, is Jones so bad off his back, that Sonnen may actually pound him out or submit him?

    Its a perfectly valid question, Jones is a novice in terms of technical JJ in defensive areas, the word on the street is that he simply has not kicked on in terms of development in that area.

    If I had to make a bet, will Sonnen take Jones down yes or no? I'm saying yes, then comes into question Jones's guard and bottom game, Sonnen mounted Anderson Silva twice! the guy can grapple/wrestle better than most if not all in world MMA, you just never know what might happen if he scores a clean double leg on Jones and goes to work.

    My feeling is that Jones will sprawl and strike, Sonnen will rush in, get desperate and will come up short, but ..................... I do think we will finally see Jones on his back at some point in this fight!

    By JJ I'm assuming you mean JON JONES In which case I have to seriously question that statement :deal
     
  11. It's a stupid statement, there is no question Jones is stronger.

    It's true, and Silva has just as much if not more power in his strikes. Just because he isn't tossing people on the inside (Greco Roman backround) doesn't mean he is weaker... Boxing is a perfect example, any young person who has sparred with a grown man or seen the two paired knows what I'm talking.

    Funny how I got 3 replies without a single explanation, some people just love to be wrong.
     
  14. You are deluded.

    Not a chance, and you've given no good reason as to why you disagree. Just making it personal imo, but I don't mind that noise. Keep on, and I'll explain myself when I have to.
