Out of Mayhem, Munoz and Bisping Mayhem would acyually have the best chance at beating Sonnen.

Miller has serious BJJ and everyone knows that is Chael Sonnen's one real weakness.

If the Sonnen vs Munoz fight happened Chael Sonnen would dominate the fight and out wrestle Munoz (i mean he got took down by Leben) and the main weakness in pretty much all English fighters is their wrestling and although Bisping has really worked on his Chael would still be able to take him down at will.

The only real fight right now that makes sense for Chael Sonnen is the rematch with Anderson and considering that can't happen right now he will likely end up fightiing one of these 3 men and i think will easliy beat any of them.

After beating Brian Stann the way he did, and as much as I hate to admit it, Sonnen should get his rematch with Anderson Silva.

But to answer the question...............out of Munoz, Mayhem, and Bisping, I think that Munoz would have the best chance of defeating Sonnen. Mayhem might be able to submit Sonnen if Sonnen makes a mistake like what he did against Paulo Filho in their first fight. Bisping doesn't have the easiest time with great wrestlers who have good boxing skills. This was prevelant in his win over Hamill, and his losses to Rashad and Hendo.

@JayKool I actually think Mayhem would have the best shot vs Sonnen, he has great submissions off his back.

I agree swickotine. Mayhem is extremely dangerous off of his back, and most Sonnen's losses are by submission. I also think that Munoz would have a good shot as well. Stylistically, I think that Sonnen is definitely a bad match-up for Bisping. I think what would be the factor for Munoz to lose to Sonnen is the experience factor.

While I agree Mayhem has the best chance, it would be a rematch. Chael has already beat Mayhem. It was a long time ago, and his groundgame has surely improved though. But people act like anyone can sub Chael, it's really stupid. He's only been subbed by high high level blackbelts(Filho, Maia, Horn x2, Silva) and Forrest who is actually pretty underrated in his grappling.

I just really hope Mayhem beats Bisping.

Well i don't think Mayhem has near as much KO power in his hands but i think he has good power in his knees and i think a combination of knees and his hands could put Bisping out.
