What will be the next big upset?

Let's try to make it for main events, contenders or title fights. Doesn't have to be massive upsets. I think Mousasi over Gus would probably qualify and it's what I'll probably roll with.

Shamhalaev over Curran

Sonnen over Jones.

I honestly feel Sonnen won't be blown away by Jones, ultimately Bones will wear him down but I can see Chael giving Jon trouble during the first couple rounds.

I don't think Chael has even the slightest hope of being competitive for even a second. He shouldn't be in this fight and I think it will show.

You say this about people you hate all the time and it never works out for you.

I hate both Jones and Sonnen. It's not the hate, it's just the reality of this fight. Chael shouldn't be in this fight and he isn't a top 25 LHW and it will show.
I seriously don't think you fanboys think Chael stands a chance anyways. You guys are the one with biased view on this fight. Fuck em both.

Idk, but not Sonnen beating Jones lol

live dog right here.

Not a top 25 LHW? Stop it. I still can't believe you thought Forrest was going to beat him. The guy who couldn't stop a double from Tito Ortiz in 2012

You mean the same Forrest that already holds a win against him? Yeah I'm pretty damn sure he would have won again. Remind me again who won that last Tito vs Forrest fight?

To be fair Forrest does hold a win over Sonnen.

10 year old fights hold no relevance in MMA today. Forrest's defensive wrestling sucks and he would have been on his back for 15 minutes. I'm not betting on Griffin pulling a triangle on someone at this stage of the game

To be fair Forrest actually has wins at LHW in the UFC and actually held a UFC title. He has accomplished much more then Chael Sonnen ever will in the UFC. It's also harder to sub Tito then it is Chael.

I'm not betting on Sonnen not getting triangled at this stage in the game...It's not like Sonnen has any chance of finishing Forrest. Forrest can still sub Chael, his sub defense is still pretty shitty.

Is it still a weakness? Sure after this many years in the game that's against more elite BJJ guys which I don't believe Forrest to be by any stretch. Not to mention Sonnen even while preparing for retirement still has his head in the game more than Forrest who just wants to pick up a couple more paychecks

10 years on and Chael's submission defense is still poor.

Is it really that crazy to think Forrest could still beat him? WTF has Chael done that makes you think he is that much better then Forrest? Tito put Forrest on his back but still lost the fight. Like I said it's far more likely for Forrest to sub Chael again then it is to sub Tito. Forrest can still be competitive against guys that don't have KO power and Chael doesn't have KO power. Would you really be that shocked if Chael got sub'd again? Would you really be surprised if Forrest outworked Chael? You guys overrate Chael so much it's insane. When is the last time someone without KO power got the best of Forrest? He does very well vs guys that can't knock him out.

The only reason Forrest beat Tito the last two times they fought is because Tito's cardio has been atrocious for years. He was gassed after 3 minutes in that last fight

Chael would take him down repeatedly, Forrest couldn't hurt him in the time that it was on the feet. UD for the Darkside

Again, when was the last time someone without KO power got the best of Forrest? Like I said he does very well vs guys that can't knock him out and you know damn well it wouldn't surprise you to see Forrest win that fight. He is game vs anyone at LHW that doesn't put him to sleep. I don't think anyone in the MMA World would be shocked by a Forrest win. Which is why your statement about how you "can't beleive someone would pick Forrest" is just silly and lame.

It absolutely would shock me to see Forrest win that fight. He hasn't fought anyone like Chael other than maybe Tito and I saw enough in those fights to be very confident that Chael would take him down every round and win a decision

LOL I'm the delusional one here? Sonnen is so overrated it's insane.
