Topic: UFC 147
Clearly the smart money should go on Silva, but I just can't pick against Chael here.

Don't ask me why, I know commonsense should be telling me Silva is going to go after Chael like he did Leben/Franklin! Still nevertheless, I think you would have to be silly to believe Chael doesn't know this, I believe he's used the Diaz Brother's "get in your opponents head" strategy, and to prefection. Now of course Sonnen could still get caught in a submission, honestly I believe if Anderson does win, by sub is the only way he can do it. (unless he gets some home cooking from the judges) Chael imo has one of the best chins in mma today, that's one big key you have to give to the Irish/American, mofo can take a big shot. I honestly don't think Silva can put Chael away with strikes.
Anyways I see a supremely prepared Sonnen going into Brazil, taking it straight to Anderson, with maybe some acrobatic ****, taking Silva down and grinding out a 5 round decision. If Chael is as smart as he is intelligent then he should be a 3rd degree Black Belt in BJJ submission defense lol. Okay I'm rambling now, so does anybody else share my opinion on how this fight will play out? Or at least agree with some of it lol? Or just completely disagree , and you want to call me all sorts of bad names & words, but you wont because you are all such super nice guys and gals lol?
Discuss?

Pe de Chumbo stays outside he should be okay. Massaranduba relies too much on the big bomb.

so good to see him get a reception like that. Sorry Franklin, but you HAVE to go to sleep tomorrow night.
Wand looks great too and he breaks out the CRAZY EYES on Franklin.
