Would it shock you if Silva rematched Sonnen... and dismantled him with ease?

    If everything you say is true, then I look forward to seeing Sonnen get his mouth shut for good. That's enough reason for a rematch since it's not like there are other contenders who are far and away more deserving than Chael. If I felt like there was another middleweight who was far and away more deserving than Chael, I wouldn't be pushing for the Sonnen rematch.

    Chael might get KO'd, but I give him a much better chance that Bisping who has nothing in the way of takedown ability. At least Sonnen has that going for him. And yes, getting submitted is a definite possibility, but it's no worse than seeing someone else get destroyed on their feet.

    Bisping is a prime candidate to get KO'd very quickly. It would be less competitive than the Okami fight, in my opinion.
    I can understand you wanting to see Silva live, but that doesn't make Bisping a candidate for a title shot.

    Who would you rather see Silva fight then?

    The only other fighters who I think have a shot at MW are Henderson (which I'd have no problem with at all) and GSP (who I don't think wants to move up)

    I have no time whatsoever for Sonnen. That pile of excrement shouldn't even be in the UFC. Granted it's very tough to find opponents for Silva but the only bout that matters now is Silva vs GSP. Make the fight Dana and risk your cash cow.

    Dana has refused to make that bout for years now. Why he dogmatically insists on not making it il never know. Win or loose the Canadian market is going nowhere. The one things Canadians do well is support their sportsmen.

    Obviously if that happens, I'm not going to complain about Sonnen not getting a rematch.
    I just don't think GSP is big on moving up, and even if he does I think he would be smart to face some other middleweights first.

    I don't think Sonnen should be out of the UFC. He did his time and deserves the right at a second chance like many fighters before him who has test postive for banned substances (although the reduction to a 6 month suspension from a year was bull****).

    If you hate him so much, won't you enjoy seeing him get destroyed by Silva?
