Sonnen vs Forrest 2 set

At the end of the year card in December.

Rumored card:

JDS vs Cain 2

Nate vs Benson

Chael vs Forrest

Cowboy vs Pettis

Also Chael will be at 205 until he retires.
He said his physical health was deteriorating cutting to 185.

Greatest thread ever for two reasons Ninja....and i love the card.

I got Forrest.

Forrest is in trouble unless he can land a triangle.

Chael via actually caring

I'm actually curious to see how motivated Sonnen is post-losing the biggest fight he'll ever be in for the rest of his career. Sonnen is in limbo now. Im not sure if anybody believes he'll go far at LHW and even if he stayed at MW he was pretty much never gonna get another crack at Spider...he is already no longer motivated to make the weight cut and seems to be becoming comfortable sitting at a table. It would not surprise me if Sonnen loses a lot of the edge he had over the past few years. That can't help when you're a pretty one dimensional fighter.

Chael is gonna be fighting a bigger and maybe stronger fella who has a good grappling and submission game and is just a mroe well rounded fighter...and who knows? Chael might run his mouth to much too keep up appearances with his contrived gimmick and wake up Forrest. I don't like the matchup. I think Forrest.

Chael is going to fuck him up and I can't wait!

Not really psyched for this but at least Chael's moving to LHW.

I had a funny feeling Nate vs. Bendo was going to be the co main event for this card when Dana said him and Lorenzo had an idea for it in that interview with Ariel.

Forrest is going to dominate and finish Chael. Book it.

Will this be the first fight between two fighters who use TRT ?

Good match making, I think this is pretty even.

fuck you Chael Sonnen fans.

I'll welcome all bets from you delusional Chael followers.

I'm big fans of both but I just don't like Forrest's chances stopping the takedown after old man Tito was able to get griffin down multiple times.

Tito is a much bigger fighter than Sonnen. Also against Sonnen he will be ready for the takedowns as that's Sonnen's only weapon.

Old man Tito is bigger, stronger and probably more explosive then Chael. He also has better submission defense. I think Bighead could beat Chael.

"A change is always nice. You do the same thing over and over, you’re always looking for change. 185 is the toughest weight class out there. We sent our champion (Silva) up to face their [former] champion, Forrest Griffin (in 2009). It lasted 93 seconds. There’s no debate to what the toughest weight class is. They used to have a karate guy (Lyoto Machida) that was champion at that weight. I don’t think there’s gonna be much left of [Jones] when Dan Henderson gets done with him. If there’s anything left of him, I’d be happy to play cleanup."

And so it has begun.

Machida will get injured, wont fight Jones.

Machida will move to 185, Anderson vacates.

Chael beats Forrest.

Chael campaigns and gets fight with Bones after Hendo.

Jon Bones Jones @sonnench the things you say about me hold absolutely no weight, you disrespected Anderson and his country but fought like a child.

damn it Chael, don't make me agree with Bones Jones on shit, lol

And Chale Sonnen's greatest asset as a mixed martial artist returns.
