    Sonnen cannot last 5 rounds without getting subbed or knocked out.

    This. Sonnen will bring the fight and that will play into Silva's hands. I expect to see Silva back to KOing people this fight.

    I expect sonnen to go for the takedown cuz he wouldn't want to stand with silva and trade bombs. Anyways my boy a VITOR BELFORT have a very good chance against silva if they end up fighting. Belfort likes to strike and has KO power plus his speed should really be a big advantage.

    Silva needs to be pushed to become dangerous. Sonnen will bring out the best in him resulting in a brutal beating.

    Is this an official pick?

    I'd love to see Silva taken off his feet just to see what Sonnen could do.

    this. if anyone in the MW division has any chance to beat silva is the phenom, sonnen is nothing more than a one trick pony. and time and time again, its been shown he's not even that good at the one thing he knows how to do: wrestle. people have overrated sonnen beyond epic proportions because of one win over another overrated fighter. but its the same ol song and dance really, people jump on the silva hating bandwagon and give unrealistic chances to sub-par opponets, silva outclasses them, then the nay-sayers claim they were never good in the first place. its getting really old, and sonnens trash talking is doing nothing but putting another nail in the coffin. hope silva beats this guy into early retirement:-(

    Chael would be a much more entertaining champ both in and out of the cage.

    i believe that the only way to motivate silva is to hurt him..

    sonnen might just be able to do that..
