Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Silva is going to be more prepared for Sonnen's lay and pray style this time around I think and he'll adjust his gameplan accordingly, if Sonnen wants to crank out a win he will have to created a more defined plan to actually finishing Silva than just pinning him down for 25 minutes as he tried to do last time. Sonnen submitted Brian Stann in the first round so his skills in actually finishing the fights on the ground have improved I think.

Prediction: wrong Sonnen   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Sonnen is going to come in aggressive like he always does, bring the fight to Silva and he is going to dominate him just like he did the last fight. He is gonna take him down at will, out strike him on the fight and just show he is the better fighter, the only difference being this time Chael's leaving with the belt!
WAR SONNEN!!!!

If i had to see one fight this year...

Prediction: correct Silva   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

When I saw the first fight I was lucky enough to be in a bar booth full of people, cuz if I wasn't I would've been all over the place, goin' crazier than the crazy guys who were standing up, screaming, cussing and flailing their arms....

I don't know about the likelihood of Sonnen managing to go five rounds with a (hopefully) healthy Silva; his stars would align, but it's possible. I'd say Silva would get a sub because Sonnen's chin hasn't disappointed (though it may if Anderson goes crazy with knees.) If I were Anderson, I would go hard in the first and try to catch Sonnen with a knee constantly; if I got taken down, I'd go into exclusive sub-searching mode. If I were Chael, I'd avoid strikes coming in for a takedown and get wrist control with one hand while pounding with the other (a few sub attempts wouldn't be too bad either.)

Silva needs some humbling????? Are you ******* kidding me???? Sonnen is the one running his mouth, treating MMA like it's ******* WWE. If anyone needs his mouth shut, and needs some serious humbling, it's Chael Sonnen. I really hope Anderson proves to the world just how good Sonnen isn't, and that the last fight was what it truly was. A FLUKE!!!!

I think Dharma's a typical Chael Sonnen fan.

As in those Chael Sonnen wannabes.

@Jay... if the last fight was a fluke.. then?  I'm confused on that one.  Guys/Gals... Silva is going to finish this fight... there is no doubt in my mind.

If Silva needs humbling then Chael needs to take public speaking classes.....
