Rumor: Sonnen-Machida likely for fall

Plus this win = rematch with Anderson as well although I'm not so sure that one win at MW wouldn't have done the same

If he beats Machida then he should get the next shot at Jones after Evans.

shit randy takes chael at 205 imo

Let's say Sonnen wins big, wouldn't he be in line for a shot at Bones ??

I mean for all we know Davis might catch Shad while he's all rusty.

And it's not like Sonnen doesn't have the size or frame for 205lb, Chael might be a douche but he's built like a tank.

Let's not be silly here.

I don't think he has long term interest at 205 but who knows. He's just making a pit stop to beat up the guy that trains in his bath robe

Machida is also built like a tank, it'll be tough for Chael to take him down IMO

I know that, was just saying Sonnen does have the size for 205lb, he wouldn't be small for the division.

LOL fuck no! The LHW division is just too stacked. Chael is about 5 fights from a LHW title shot. But a win here should get him a MW title shot.

To get size he'll just self medicate again at a high basal rate.

da fuck he is! if he was to beat Machida it would take 1 more fight at most to get a shot at the 205 crown

He's pretty much the consensus #2 MW in the world. If he moved up and beat Machida he would be knocking on the door of a 205 shot for sure. One more fight at the most

Why would a win over a top 3 LHW not get him a shot ?

Machida is only behind Shad for a title shot.

You guys are nuts. Chael beating Machida would do more damage for Machida's LHW title hopes then it would help Chael's. He would be behind the Shogun-Forrest winner, Rampage, Shad vs Davis winner, he would be about equal to the Ace vs lil Nog winner in the running for a title shot....at best.

we sir, are not crazy!

Crock deal either way. When Machida beats Sonnen, I almost guarantee he is still behind Page, Evans, and also the winner of Shogun/Griffin because White already doesn't like him and has a big homo boner for Chael "God Bless Him" Sonnen. That being said, if the Dana White button gets pushed and Sonnen wins, he will get the title shot.

You do realize Lil Nog is on a 2 fight losing streak and Franklin lost his last time out and both would be molested by Chael right?

OU, name me one other weight class where the #2 fighter would move up and beat a guy that everyone considers top 3 and not being immediately knocking on the door of a title shot. Especially someone who sells a fight like Sonnen

Shad could lose to Davis, and that would put Machida straight in line for a shot.

That would put Machida at #3 in line actually.

There is no bigger gap in all of MMA when it comes to moving up or down then the LHW division and the MW division. The gap in talent in those weight classes is the biggest in MMA. The LHW division is stacked and the top of the division has suffered some recent log jams with the Machida-Shogun draw and the injury of Rashad Evans. The top of that division is just too crowded for the #2 fighter in the weakest weight class to make any claim for a title shot. You guys are delusional if you think he would be anything better then the back of "the mix" with a win over Machida.

you said 5 fights away after beating machida... we said Machida and 1 more fight, which would obviously be another top 5 fighter... if he was to beat both then he would HAVE to get a shot... its pretty simple

Based on what ?

It's Page, Shad, Machida

Even though Machida should be ahead of Page but incompetent judges screwed him.

I was obviously just exaggerating with the 5, it would be more like 3 wins. If Chael Sonnen beat 3 top 10 LHW, the give the man his shot.

But you don't think beating a number 3 fighter at LHW, and then beating another top 5 fighter would earn him a shot?
