Looks like Sonnen want's to get another fight in before the Anderson fight. Any ideas?? I would say Munoz but he just fought so I don't know how long he's out for. Belfort already has a fight so not him. What do you guys think?

I would be very interested in a Palhares vs Sonnen matchup.  Palhares could get the sub. Or he could get beat up.

Palhares would win that fight relatively easily. I doubt the UFC gives Chael someone who does BJJ.

Anderson subbed Sonnen. 

As for Marquardt, he's not a BJJ guy... even if he's got a black belt it's not the same thing as Palhares.

Palharas/Sonnen would be a pretty fun fight.  However, I think Sonnen has the shot locked right now, unless Silva or Sonnen gets injured

Yup. Paul Harris is on another level, especially compared to Marquardt. Having a black belt under Greg Jackson means only that you are a UFC fighter and you train under Greg Jackson. He hands those things out left and right. Paul Harris is a black belt under one of the greatest grapplers in MMA history, Murilo Bustamante.

@mino Paul Harris??? lol it's Rousimar Palhares buddy

But who else has Greg Jackson gave a black belt to exactly? I'm not saying Marquardt's BJJ is on the same level as Palhares or Maia but he is a 2nd degree black belt

Nate Marquardt is a 2nd degree BJJ blackbelt under Master Ricardo Murgel who is an 8th degree blackbelt under Grandmaster Flavio Behring who is a BJJ Red belt under Helio Gracie...not quite the Greg Jackson thrown around blackbelt

I wouldn't be surprised if Chael's intentions with those comments was to try and make Anderson jump the gun in his recovery and fight sooner than he should.

Maia already beat Chael.

Maia would beat Chael for the 2nd time with another submission. Palhares might beat Chael but he could also get beat up pretty bad. And Anderson will submit Chael yet again.
