Like him or hate him he is still one of the best middle weights today. He will beat Brian Stann and then go on to smash Anderson Silva if Silva survies Yushin Okami

I disagree about smashing Andy. He couldn't do it while cheating and fighting Silva hurt. I think he had a real good streak, but fighters will figure him out. I'd take Nate in a rematch with all honesty, along with Maia but he beats Okami 9 times out of 10 from their style breakdown. As long as Andy, or the likes of Maia or even Palhares are around he never holds gold.

@ketchup Oh I agree whoever they want to put in Sonnen's path he is going to go through them like a fat kid in a candy store on a shopping spree. 



He's on his way back back to the top.

I do think he beats Anderson or Okami. But whenever Maia, Jacare, or Palhares get to the top, he would lose.

As long as Sonnen's opponent doesn't know how to execute a triangle he'll win!!

@dan 
i think you can ad Andy into the category with Maia and such, his Jitz is scary, we just don't get to see it often because of how deadly his striking is.

Say what you want about Chael's trash-talk, but I truly believe it's 90% of the reason he was dominating Anderson for nearly 5 rounds.

I've watched the fight over and over and you can see a complete lack of self-confidence in Andy's eyes and if he gets another shot... he'll finish him and win the title.

I would love to see another fight between them. I think Silva smashes Okami, (even though I really like Okami) and if Sonnen can beat Stann, it will be a great rematch.

Chael can wrestle and the rest of the mw division cannot. That's the biggest difference. Also Chael is very confident going into every fight which is very important.

@p4p I'm pretty sure Mark Munoz, Yushin Okami and Chris Weidman would have a small issue with your statement!

Yeah what I should have said is really really good wrestling. Okami is ok but he's not all that great at wrestling. I think Chael is quite a bit above everyone in the wrestling department in the mw division.

Ya, I think Chael's wrestling is leaps and bound above most MWs.

Weidman may be close, but we need to see him tested a bit more.

It's like I've said before. If there were more  wrestlers in the mw division as good or better then Chael Anderson would have lost a long time ago.

A lot of people do not know this but this a true story. Chael Sonnen was almost miscarried by his mother when he was being born. It turns out that he got triangle choked by the umbilical cord!

Chael is the best troll in the UFC and sports today, maybe all of entertainment...the only one bigger right now is Soulja Boy.
