Sonnen is an arrogant ****. As much as i hate anderson's useless antics , i really hope Silva kos Chael in the 1rst.
How on earth does Sonnen even have a remote chance at beating Silva? He wont be able to finish him off with his gnp, so his only hope to to lay on top of Silva for 5 rounds. The second Silva stuffs his take down attempt, Sonnen is getting KO'd. He needs to be matched up with an elite striker.
Sonnens an arrogant ****? Yeah. This guy talks trash and gives his all in the cage, theres the difference. Silva pretends to bow and be humble but is a ****. I think Chael just says whats on his mind. And when hes done raping Silvas corny ass. We'll look back at this thread. Chaels going for the double leg and be on top of him like a madman. He would be imposing his strengths in this fight and that being his top game. Mindset perspective, Chael would be so ****n hungry for the chance to be champ and this may be his only shot. Who the hell has Silva submitted from his guard besides that punk Lutter?
So many "knowledgable posters" talking the rubbish here The guy that beats Anderson will be a fearless, Aggressive striker that catches him (Wanderlei, Belfort, Rampage, shogun, etc) or a much bigger guy that continuously takes him down.....but by "bigger guy" I mean, IF Anderson goes up to heavyweight. Does anybody REALISTICALLY believe Sonnen can lay and pray Anderson ****ing silva for 5 rounds to a victory????????? Dudes, come on now atsch 5 rounds is a long time, and Anderson is no stranger to the ground game......and trust me, he will get the fight standing and finish this guy.
Yeah Lutter is the only guy hes submitted off his back and how legit was that to be honest ? First off Lutter is maybe the most overatted BJJ Blackbelt ive ever seen he got choked out by Matt Lindland, gasses out completely by just attempting an armbar. Anderson threw up a Triangle but notice 2 things theres a sizable hole inbetween and you could see alot of Lutter's shoulder and back which means the Triangle wasnt put on properly and not that tight. How long was that thing in and Lutter never taped ? The elbows are what made Lutter tap and he just happened to be gassed out and stuck in a somewhat loose Triangle. Sonnen's cardio is to good and he wont give any space and wont stop attacking. Silva does not have a guard on the level of a Paulo Filho not even close.
Not smart to run away from a guy with a good shoot. So he couldn't fight Sonnen the same way he fights a BJJ guy that is less capable of takedowns.. You don't retreat from a wrestler unless you want to get taken down, you stand in front of them, stuff the takedowns and wait for them to make a mistake with the standup.. If he used the same gameplan he did last fight with Sonnen, he would end up on his back, against a solid, likely unter-rated wrestler..
Chael Sonnen isn't even going to make it out of the 1st round with Anderson Silva, let alone beat him. ****, Sonnen might not make it out of the 1st minute!
Sonnen about Fedor vs Rogers: ""Two fatties swinging like bums. Yawn, stretch, back to sleep."" **** him. He should hide under a rock especially after his embarrassing performance against Maia.
The way Silva fights, I would last five rounds. He'll even give me a compliment like call me a Playboy or something. Hes such a stand up guy. Seriously if he thinks Sonnens going for a second stand up with him One thing is true. Sonnen will take him down with ease. Every single time he attemps. It might get stood up but he will take him down again and again with ease. Now can Anderson sub Chael? we will see. I'm not convinced. Ive only seen him do it to bum Lutter. And dont comeback and say but Maia did
OMG what a ****en waste of a fight again for Silva. Silva needs to move up in weight or something. Cheal Sonnen? Chael ****en Sonnen? Sonnen doesn't stand a ****en chance. This fight is even more pathetic than the Maia fight. Jesus christ Dana you're a ****en *******. This is a piece of **** fight Anderson will finish this ****er off in 1 round. Quote me on this **** because it's gonna be 110% motha****en true.
I'm on this express. :happy Hopefully we see a long slow match of Chael grinding and pounding Silva's title and dreams away. I hope for a T/KO in the 4th round via GNP.
