fight4real - Sonnen always has something to say... Not sure why it's such a big deal. Before the Filho fight he used to say that he would put a picture of Filho in his shoe every morning so he could step on Filho's face all day. It's funny, and it's just hype. You guys take things too personally.
Silva is badass and this is a tough fight for Sonnen. On the flip side, Chael has outstanding wrestling with a penchant for messing guys up with his GnP (Marquardt). Then again, Silva's best sub seems to be his triangle (Lister) which has proven to be a weakness of Sonnen's (Horn).
All in all this could be an awesome fight and Sonnen is adding fuel to the fire. Personally, I can't wait to see it. Good on him for hyping the fight. Hyping = PPV dollars = dollars for the fighters whose fights get watched.
Lutter tapped to the strikes, not the triangle from what I remember..
Darup - No one would care about this fight if Chael didn'y say the things he says to promote it. This fight is actually interesting because Silva has never faced a wrestler the caliber of Sonnen. Don't tell me Henderson he is not a good MMA wrestler. If Sonnen can take Silva down and stick to his game plan he could and in my opinion will beat Anderson.
Dan's a great mma wrestler. He picks and chooses when to use it as he also has big right hand power. He got Silva downbut because of Silva's skill and lenght he couldn't do much. The only thing Chael may have better than Hendo is cardio.

Here's where i see Sonen's problem..let's just say he takes Anderson down as he says he will.okay fine..next comes Anderson's very active guard.not like Nate's.no offense to Nate it's just that anderson's guard is way more active.he's gonna make Sonnen move forsure with elbow's,sweep attempt's and everything else.i see Sonnen getting subbed.if not KO'd forsure.no matter what i personally give sonnen 0% chance in this one..and i don't hate the dude or anything.he speaks his mind and the truth about alot of stuff.

I thin their both great mma wrestlers but totally different... Dan has almost avoided wrestling in MMA as of late (probably because it gasses him out) and doesn't shoot much..
Chael shoots constantly...thats where he could pose a huge threat to Silva... constantly shooting and taking down... that can wear down Silva
I dont think i can see a shoot wrestler like chael sonnen getting a whole lot of takedowns on Silva. In chaels fights he just doesn't set up the takedown, he just goes for it. That has NEVER worked on Silva.
