I don't necessarily agree w/ that @P4p.  I think you are under-rating them both.

I suppose if Bisping somehow got a title shot a lot of people would watch so they could see him get KO'd within 2 minutes. Marketing is very important but you still have to earn it. Bisping/Miller are a long ways off from that in my opinion. Oh Sonnen would dominate either one too. I forgot him.

sonnen dominates everybody in the division prolly other than maia, palhares, and a silva, belfort would be an interesting fight with sonnen as well.

Just say "Sonnen dominates anyone in the division w/out a black belt in BJJ".

sonnen could possibly beat palhares if he kept it standing and boxed on the outside.  i cant think of who are all bb bjj mw's but sonnen can beat many of them standing possibly. the problem with a silva is that he is a bigger threat standing.

You kidding? Sonnen would get subbed by Miller so easily. Miller is very underrated and he'll be a longtime top 10 MW. His groundgame is probably only behind Maia and Palhares. His chin is granite and his standup mixes kicks and punches fairly well.

dont underestimate the power of chaels wrestling.  a fight with a wrestler like chael would never end "soooo easily" , wrestlers can steal rounds...  if the fight is close in the stand up, then take the guy down with in the last 30 seconds. and sonnen does have decent boxing, not alot of power , but he can stand and bang.

Nate Marquardt is a 2nd degree black belt in BJJ and he pretty much got owned in the fight with Chael

sonnen beats stann easily unless he gets hit with "flush" on the chin or temple by stann. K.S. (the polish experiment) owned stann. it won't be any different here.

@Soccer hey what's with the Nate bashing? You do have to admit Sonnen gets sub'd more then he should.
