Does anyone think Anderson will accept this bet? And do you think he should take this bet?

I think he has nothing to lose really he has cleaned out that division anyway so if he loses whatever go for the 205 belt. But for some reason I don't think he would get sucked into Chael's game and I believe he probably wont take the side bet.

sonnen does not really lose either b/c if he lost he is not getting another shot at andy anyway and he leaves with a big payday.

Ahaha. Im expecting this to be a hell in a cell match in which Vince Mcmahon is the ref, thats how WWE that was :\. When Chael said that I was dieing. If he does lose to Silva, hes got an excellent career of 'professional wrestling' in front of him :p

I don't think Dana will let this thing ride. I predict that after Chael brings this up again, that Dana will say something.
edit: guys, i mean the challenge. Everyone wants the rematch. Un thumbs-down me.

I think Dana will go for it. Big weekend, big rematch, Sonnen and Silva do not like each other, and Sonnen can hype fights better than anyone. All this equals big money for the UFC

Of course he will go for the rematch, but he doesn't want either of these guys leaving the division, let alone the ufc.

there is no reason to get pulled into chael's silly games. anderson doesn't need to agree to anything, other than defending his belt.
let chael run his little side show leading up to the fight, which will bring more eyes to the bout. kick him in the face fightnight. retire like a boss. eat a cheeseburger.

@Buffalo, I agree, Dana wouldnt force someone to vacate a division for losing a title fight

i think this whole thing sounds like a wwf stipulations match to me.  i think anderson should just retire and not even give cheal a shot,  i think it would just eat at him as he already seems pretty upsessed with silva

It's amazing how smooth Sonnen is when he delivers all of his lines. He's got a talent for it.

@Poir Andy is going to accept this bet because with Chael running around as champ at 185, he couldn't do anything but move up because he would never get his belt back.

This may pull the best PPV buy rates in UFC history.  This is the best feud in a while, Chael does all the talking and doesn't even need Anderson to fire back.

8 L's for sonnen by submission I would think he would be the one in danger
