And the way Sonnen looked against Bisping. Would Munoz have won, or is it the "styles makes fights" scenario again. Honestly, Sonnen looked none like the one who challenged Silva almost a year before. I don't know whether Bisping was so hard to keep down that he exhausted himself.
Sonnen would have pulled out a very similar third round if the fight made it that far, since Munoz has always had gastank issues when compared to Sonnen. (Hell, Bisping's usually known for having a better tank than anybody else at MW, and he looked half-dead compared to Sonnen at the end of the second) Also, Munoz has never really had the take-down defense edge of Bisping, but it's still possible that he got the one flush punch off necessary to take down Sonnen, even if Sonnen is ridiculously chinny.
Hard to say, I think a few reasons why Sonnen did,'t dominate like most thought he would because 3 reasons. 1) apperently he had a bad weight cut, he did look slower and sluggish then usual.2) I think he was overconfident, he has had his way with his opponents in his last 5 fights for the most part and thought that would easily continue. 3) People underestimate Bisping, he is a solid fighter but the hate he gates takes away from the fact that he is for real.
For real? This content is protected Went from looking like Joe average to an albino mini hulk, but whatever. He will get his soon enough. This content is protected vs. This content is protected This content is protected
As we all know A + B doesnt always equal C , but its a good question Bisping is very well known for his ability to get back to his feet once taken down , he's very slippery , and he's very fit , Silva was happy to try and catch Sonnen with a sub off his back which would of preserved Sonnen's gas tank , that said i dont think the pace of the Bisping fight was overly fast , and Sonnen did look a little tired Sonnen looked like a jugger naught against both Silva and Stann , and less so against Bisping , im not sure its a yard stick but definatley a consideration I always felt Munoz would match Sonnen in most departments anyway and nothing has changed there , its a pick em fight !!!
