Silva v Sonnen

Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:59 pm

Anyone watching the UFC tonight?

Probably the biggest rematch of all time.

Anderson Silva is undoubtedly the greatest fighter to ever breathe air, surely he's going to steam roll Sonnen this time?

What do you think?

I'll record it and watch it tomorrow.

I like Silva, easily the best all rounder in MMA, but i'd like to see Sonnen beat him.

Looking forward to watching it.

I don't think he Silva will steamroll Sonnen ,Silva was very lucky the last time they fought .But then again Sonnen v Bisping was a close fight there ,Sonnen didn't impress me at all. But I'm looking forward to this :D

I think I could take the both of em though ;)

Don't forget Ortiz v Griffin too :ayatollah:

True true, forgot about Griffin v Ortiz.

Tito is probably one of my all time favourite fighters, so I hope he can pull off a win in his last ever fight!

Sonnen takedown and stick to him like glue to just grind the fight out maybe finnish with a GnP :ayatollah:

.....IF he cant get the takedown then silva will pick him apart!

Key to the fight is can Silva stop Sonnen taking him down?? first round will be really interesting :| :|

It's going to be tight ,last time for 4 and a half rounds Sonnen did just that took silva down and pounded him .Got sloppy and got caught in a Triangle.

If Sonnen can keep his cool he will win ,it's about time Silva moved up a weight

I remember it well as id bet Sonnen to beat him at about 18/1 on a bet exchange on betfair :shock: :(
(bet him at 10/1 to finnish him this time :D )

Sonnen knows what he has to do to beat him and i still cant beleive he left his arm in for all that time in the last fight :x

Trouble is now Silva know what to expect and WILL try and dictate the range, Hopefully Sonnens got inside his head enough to frustrate Silva into loosing his head as he already had a cheap shot at Sonnen by shoulder barging him in the face in the staredown after the weigh in :shock: :lol:
