Sonnen refuses to talk **** to Wanderleis face. He will continue to do it in interview though. He will regret allowing himself to be locked in a cage with Wanderlei Silva.

Wanderlei's one of my favorite fighters ever, but this is a tough fight for him stylistically.

Chael doesn't have the power to stop Wanderlei, but he has the wrestling to take him down and pound him to grind out a decision win.

If Wanderlei however can defend Chael's takedowns and keep him at distance without clinching with him against the cage, then Wanderlei has a good chance to KO Chael.

This is a big fight either way and would be big if they made this fight in Brazil. It could easily be a PPV main event if they made this fight in Brazil.

This as a main event on a card Brazil could tell us exactly how much of a draw and big name Chael really is.

Good fight and I hope it happens but 205 is bad for Chael. He's a small LHW and his wrestling isn't as effective because of the size and there are better wrestlers at 205 then 185. Chael should drop back down to 185 and fight a fringe top 10 guy.

I would say Chael should take this easily, but I said that about Brian Stann.

I have to agree with grizzley on this. Wanderlei can destroy Chael on their feet, but if it goes down to the ground and it stays there, It could go to a decision for Chael.

Wand by whatever he wants in the early rounds. Chael is Knockout-able an definitively submit-able, especially against a BJJ black belt, Chael's kryptonite.

This fight all depends on what Wanderlei shows up when he's on he's a beast but when he's off he sucks and looks washed up.

@ShakeANDBake720 Lol he didn't just say that a couple of times in one thread like I did about Nate vs Benson.

"Bisping is going to eat Belfort for breakfast and **** out Anderson Silva. 
WAR BISPING!"


"come to conclusion Bisping is the best Middleweight on the planet."


"Bisping is better then Vitor every where. The only thing Vitor has over Bisping is power. That is literally all he has over Bisping."


"Quit being bias because you guys are blind and hate on the greatest MW on the planet. "


"This fight would be so awesome ... if Bisping was fighting someone who wasn't so inferior to him skill wise."


Check out this page of the thread and continue, just hilarious ****. Mike pretty much gets exposed as the biggest idiot on this site, classic ****.
