sonnen vs spider thoughts.

What do you guys think. I think it will go similar to the hendo fight minus anderson being scared of the ko power. Either anderson will work sonnen like he did forrest or sub him. but then again sonnen impressed the fuck out of me against nate. This fight should have alot of shit talk and some good hype. Cant fucking wait and could care less who wins.

I think Sonnen holds down Spider similar to the way Hendo did in round 1 but I think Sonnen does it for about 2 rounds before Anderson finally gets his hands on Sonnen and makes him pay for it. I think Anderson gets the TKO in the late 3rd early 4th but Sonnen will be up on the cards at the time.

Sonnen doesn't fall in love with his hands like Hendo does. He knows that he needs to get the fight too the ground and thats what he will do. He won't pussyfoot around like Hendo did.

if silva comes in the same shape he did against maia, he wont do squat in the championship rounds

Thoughts

1. Sonnen is not afraid to take punishment in order to get the fight where he wants it. Something Leites and Maia were afraid to do.

2. Anderson is going to get taken down by Sonnen but Sonnen won't be able to finish the fight...he has to get a decision....

3. Sonnen is submission-prone. It's been his achillies heel his entire career. He nearly blew the Marquardt fight by getting caught in a very tight guillotine. 5 rounds with Anderson Silva if the fight is fought where Sonnen wants it. I see Chael getting caught in something and finished and i would not be the least bit surprised if he was ahead on the scorecards when it happens.

or Anderson knocks his ass out right out the gate.

anderson all day long. Like Maia, sonnen is not in spiders class. It's a horrible mismatch that very well could pan out like Maia-Lietes.

If you think Sonnen is going to walk around staring at Anderson for 5 rounds afraid to do anything, you're off your rocker

Why cause Sonnen is now a great fighter who without a doubt will impose his will on one of the great fighters of all time?

Once he gets rocked a couple times and finds that it is much more difficult to take spider down then it was to take down Nate, I can 4 sure envision a shocked look on a bloody sonnen as spider yells brazilian slang at him.

you're stoned capt. If that gash on his head in the Marquardt fight proved anything, it was that he's not afraid to take punishment to get to where he needs to be.

sonnens been rocked and if we learned anything from watching him fight nate is that he has no quit in him, hell keep coming, and unlike maia and leites he will take him down just like hendo did.

+1 for the sig!

Anderson Silva by homicide.

Chael Sonnen via filibuster

Im on the sonnen train fuck it

Even if Sonnen gets and keeps Anderson down, no way he goes 5 rds without getting subbed

true dont think he wants any part of that tho.....

lol touche Bobbit.

Vitor's the only guy with a chance at MW imo. Sonnen is known for getting caught in subs and Spider is a very good ground fighter. I could just see Sonnen make a mistake and get triangled in round two or three.
