Sonnen would tool Silva these days...anyone who thinks otherwise is insane. Sonnen was able to stand and trade with Anderson and take him down almost at will. Vanderlei's subs are not up to the level that would win him the fight...
Old Silva would have had a much better chance but people these days are way too focused on what Silva did in the past. The respect for Silva's past achievements has blinded them to the realities of today..
I hope Wand hurts Sonnen, badly. What is sad is though Sonnen will want nothing to do with Wand on his feet and try and lay on him for the whole fight.
Silva will need more plastic surgery after Chael is done with him.
I AM A MOFO - Wanderlei has underrated (and underutilized) BJJ and knows his way around both triangles and armbars. That's not good for Chael.

^Which is that Sonnen couldn't give a 9 month old baby a black eye with his punches.
He could definitely hold Wandy down and lay pressed against him tightly for a while though. LIKE A BOSS?
Yea cause Chael did no damage on the ground in any of his fights right? IDK what fights you watch but I saw some pretty fast paced GnP vs Nate and Silva...Vanderlei's defensive guard would get him beat up.

I would substitute "succeed" for "try". This fight goes like a replay of the first 3 rounds of Sonnen/Silva.
Chael is a bad match up for Silva. He would take him down and beat on him for three rounds.
I have a hard time not seeing Chael win this. Keep in mind it would be a 3 round fight unless its a main event (new 5 rounders). If Chael can dominate Anderson Silva for 3 rounds I'd bet he could do the same to Wanderlei.
If Chael is not allowed to continue his HRT then i expect Wanderlei to overpower his eunuch ass and KO him

Yeah I saw some pretty fast paced GnP from him vs. Nate and Silva too. I also saw it accomplish NOTHING but points and appear to be little more than an annoyance.
Chael tagged Anderson a few times on the feet because he was moving forward aggressively and Anderson REFUSED to KO him because he promised the sub.
LOL@Chael trying to tard charge Wandy like that.
It'd be like Wandy pulling guard on Maia. Just stupid, it's not gonna work out for ya.
There are really people delusional enough to think that Anderson intentionally avoided KOing Chael for 4.5 rounds while biding his time and taking the most savage beating of his life? Incredible!
thesanitycruzer -Teh Spider - Yeah cause Sonnen is a finisher ha
no b/c Wand's chin is made of the finest China :D
LOL at this.
Wands chin could be made of wet toilet paper and Sonnen could not bust through it.
I AM A MOFO - Chael set the RECORD for most strikes ever landed in one match. He punched and GnP'd a dude constantly for four and a half rounds.
Afterwords, the guy looked like this;

Chael makes Michael Bisping look like George Foreman. Even Bisping would fuck somebody up with THAT much GnP or that many strikes. Chael Sonnen = lightest hands in the UFC. NOT P4P either, he just hits like a 120 lb. girl.
Silva spent the night in the hospital, broski. Bruising is not as evident on darker skin.
LordCoSaX - Sonnen would beat Wandy pretty easy...
this
Sonnen would take him down and implement his electric blanket style offense for three rounds. He would remain active enough while on top, to avoid being stood back up, but would not come close to finishing the fight.
It would be 3 rounds of watching one guy trying to finish in the few brief chances he has, versus a guy that is content with laying on another man for 15 minutes for a decision.
I AM A MOFO -Gokudamus stole my name - If Chael is not allowed to continue his HRT then i expect Wanderlei to overpower his eunuch ass and KO him
True Chael wouldn't have a chance if he weren't basically cheating...
Thats why i said if he is allowed to continue. Because he is red flagged for using testosterone and its possible that he will be denied to continue his therapy if he wants a license to fight again
Wand vs Sonnen with a testosterone level of a 12 year old girl = death
dipsheet -Old Timey - Sonnen would kill Wandy!
Only if he sold him a house w/ asbestos still in the walls.
How did no one on the first page notice this amazing comment?
frontrowbrian -Willin -I Can't find that pic ... anyone know what thread I posted it in?frontrowbrian - Wand could barely beat Bisping and now he wants to mess with a Gangster like Chael Sonnen. Wand, pick your battles wisely
Post Chael's middle school gangster pic pls? Appropriate for the thread.
Chael has a chin made of granite and Silva's is made from glass. Poor choice of target to prognosticate by Wand.
I saved it to my work PC but I can't access image sites to upload it. PM me your e-mail addy and i'll send you the pic.

"this guy talk alotta boolsheet"
TTT for Wanderlei
grimsgrind - Wanderlei barely beat Bisping? WTF Ionno which fight you guys were watching but Silva brought the heat, Bisping put on a horrible performance and he couldnt even beat santiago....He's pathetic. Sonnen would get DESTROYED by Silva....You guys are underestimating Silva, he's in great shape these days and at Middleweight he made the best decision of his career...IMHO He has another run at the title... but he won't fight Anderson so he'd prolly stay around the contender area...He has nothing to prove except fighting who he wants...and He wants Sonnen bad....Chael is a little girl and wouldnt stand a chance with 90% of the roster without steroids and testesterone.
It was his first at 185 and he didnt barley beat him he just fought him smart
