Good questions and tonight they will be all answered. I predict Chael sonnen UD victory! But if Silva wins its gonna be by submission.Can't fuckin wait...most anticipated rematch in UFC history.
There's still a huge unknown...did the American Gangster's domination of The Spider have more to do with Sonnen's octagon skills or Silva's bad ribs? Sonnen had Silva on his back longer than in that one fight than every opponent Anderson Silva's faced in the UFC combined. It's no secret that wrestler give Silva the most trouble, and Chael Sonnen is the best wrestler in the UFC bar none. With that being said, I'm with the guy who set a UFC record for most wins in a row, who's undefeated in the octagon and should record a record-10 straight title defenses. Anderson Silva KO in the 2nd.
You are not a causal fan.No way this one goes to the judges. And Silva by submission is a really good guess cuz his BJJ game is on point and Chael Sonnen has lost the vast majority of his fights by submission (especially triangle chokes, the same one Silva used to submit him in 2010). Plus Sonnen has a granite chin and can take a punch with the best of them...still, Sonnen made it personal so I think Anderson Silva is gonna go out of his way to knock him out just to prove a point. Silva has thoroughly embarrassed opponents for less...Chael Sonnen insulted his country, his manhood and even his wife (the infamous steak request ), and Silva made some big boy promises by saying he's gonna make sure Sonnen gets carried outta the octagon and what happens tonight will change the face of MMA forever. We've never seen him this pissed and Sonnen just might have tugged on superman's cape with his trash talk...I dunno how smart it was to enrage the best fighter in MMA history, but we'll see if the strategy paid off and he managed to get in Silva's head.
That's the thing, Silva is great off his back and submitted Dan Henderson using his BJJ while everyone thought it was gonna be a standup, knockdown type of fight so I don't think he's gonna panic if he gets taken down cuz he's very comfortable on his back. You can never really rest against Silva anywhere in the Octagon cuz you're always a flash-KO or rear-naked choke away from going home dazed and confused. Sonnen's camp is smart though and they're focusing the majority of the training on not getting caught in a submission cuz Sonnen tends to have momentarily lapses where he gives his opponents a quick opening...still, Sonnen is not stupid and knows he doesn't wanna stand with Silva so maybe we see him take Silva down, go into his guard and try to choke him out like he did to Brian Stann.You are not a causal fan.No way this one goes to the judges.

Yeah Silva seems pretty pissed of, but he needs to be careful, his striking is 100 times better then sonnen but sonnen has his wrestling and if silva is careless he will hit the floor, so thats is the question, have sonnen improved his submission defence or will silva submit him again. Im sure Silva will go for the knockout but it will be to hard imo. Eitherway cant f-king wait anylonger.
Good analys, btw anyone watching the prelims? That poke in the eye was nasty.That's the thing, Silva is great off his back and submitted Dan Henderson using his BJJ while everyone thought it was gonna be a standup, knockdown type of fight so I don't think he's gonna panic if he gets taken down cuz he's very comfortable on his back.

A submission is probably gonna be the safe gameplan going in for either side but for different reasons...Sonnen cuz he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning a striking match, and Silva cuz he knows Sonnen is submission-prone. But I still say Silva will show his absolute mastery if he can knockout Chael Sonnen, someone that is very, very hard to do.
