@greg you should make a thread and title it the "Non-MMA Related Insult Filled ********* Blown Way Out Of Proportion" thread...that way people who don't start **** don't have to click on a seemingly innocent thread and have to read a page full of pointless crap. Either way, thank you for stopping it haha

@skelliher If this were 2 years ago and/or Chael weren't on TRT, I'd agree. I'm just not sure at the moment. Evans has looked like crap in every fight since losing to Jones. Chael, even if you dislike him you have to admit, the dude just brings it every fight, whether that means getting his can kicked all over the place or totally dominating.

@Brazilian Jitz, lets make one thing clear. I do not like Suga's ass because it or he is black but because it is firm, round and smooth.

I don't even care who wins this, this whole card is awesome. I havnt been this excited about a UFC since 73: Stacked, although I was sort of disapointed

I am beyond stoked for 167, going to be throwing a party for this one. My only criticism is Woodley vs Koscheck? I think they could of done a little better than that for a main card fight, though Bagautinov vs Tim is an amazing opener.

@Nomad is the hipster of Tapology. 

But anyways, I think this is an amazing card, but I am somewhat fearing that it doesn't live up to expectations. The last couple UFC cards this past week looks crappy (Kennedy vs. Natal) and decently good (Belfort vs. Hendo) on paper and delivered in spades.

Evans has this due to having outwrestled Phil Davis, Chael is nothing in comparison. In fact, this is probably going to be Evans-Davis Part 2.

Chael's wrestling is better than Davis.

Yeah, Sonnens wrestling is about the same if not better than Davis's, Rashad isn't gonna be able to secure takedowns the same way he did against Davis, theres no way, should be a lot of stand up and clinching.

Idk, Rashads wrestling is ridiculously good, good enough to stuff a takedown from jon jones in their fight if im not mistaken.
I really think the wrestling factor is equal in this fight. But im not sure, i dont know which way to go on this, 
depending on whether or not the real rashad shows up 
Rashad has better striking i believe, and if i had to give an edge in the wrestling i would have to lean towards sonnen just very slightly 
cant wait for this fight though

Most guys that Chael fights know that the takedown is coming but just can't stop it. Rashad is a different story. He has a 65% takedown defense and since he knows what is coming that gives him an even better shot at defending them. Chael is still Chael and will most likely score a few takedowns but I see Rashad getting to his feet rather quickly. Rashad wins the battle standing and gets the UD.

Can´t tell if Rashad face = serious and focused and pissed or if Rashad face = tired, and worn out, and depressed

Rashad is just a bad match-up for Chael...a guy that's elusive, has much better striking, and won't be easy to take down. I think Rashad out boxes/clinch on the cage for a decision.

Awesome face-off! I'm sticking to my Shad pick for now, but the in next few hours my heart might take over and make me switch to the gangster ...

I think Rashad's got the perfect skillset to nullify Chael P.'s strongest weapon (basically tremendously hard to take down and even harder to keep down), but Chael has the je ne sais quoi to maybe pull something amazing off ... gut feeling: Chael, 2nd round TKO (as you can see, my gut's been drinking a bit too heavily lately and might have a problem or two, but then again who thought Chael would 1SUB Shogun? :) ).
