this time Anderson won't under estimate sonnen's aggressive attack, won't have injured ribs and is in his home town. 

if Sonnen makes it out of the first round i will be REALLY surprised.

oh and also if Bisping could stun Sonnen how's he going to stand up against Anderson's attack?

I also think Silva got this but to be sure he should go to the Nova Uniao Camp and learn some TDD. Aldo & Barao could definitely teach him some new tricks. These guys did a pretty good job against great wrestlers in their last fight.

i have to think anderson was really hurt going into the first fight...i think healthy he does to sonnen what he does to everyone else

that being said a tough high level wrestler always has a chance, the thing about sonnen is he has looked great against guys you thought would give him trouble and he's looked last luster against guys you'd think he could walk thru.

Sonnen's made some sound improvements on the ground, but I expect a healthier and more experienced Anderson to put his lights out this time. I think the pressure of fighting in Brazil will also play a role in the fight.

this must be in response to anderson saying that sonnen is in trouble when he comes to brazil but this is what sonnen just tweeted

I really hoping Anderson goes Barboza on Sonnen. He's not mastered to stop those kind of strikes, especially when coming from AS, I hope Andy takes advantage of this and highlight-reels him into irrelevance.

I'm expecting to see Anderson KO Sonnen in the rematch rather quickly.  I'm one of the people who truly believed Silva wasn't only injured for the first fight, but wouldn't settle for a knockout after what Sonnen said about his BJJ black belt.  Can't wait to see what happens.

Sonnen is going to smash Anderson so bad it will be so funny. Andy better start practising fighting off of his back, because he wont be on the feet long enough. The only thing we learned from Bisping vs Sonnen is that Bisping is a better wrestler than Andy, and is much better than a lot of people thought.

Anderson likes to dance around and hide behind refs and every opponet he's ever had just stands there like an idiot and watches him. Not Chael though. Chael comes to FIGHT. He will be in Silva's face the entire time. I hope Chael finishes what he started last time they fought. Silva is a fraud and a phony and he deserves the ass beating that's coming his way.

Chael might and has a real chance of winning but Silva is not a fraud. You do not move up a weight division and humiliate the former UFC champion while being a fraud.
