What round with Sonnen get finished?
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
This isn't a completely pro- Sonnen response, but where's the option that says he's not getting finished?
Also...are some of you under the assumption or belief that he didn't get hit hard at all in the first one? Or that he backed off at any point when he did get caught? I'm just not seeing where all of a sudden he's DEFINITELY getting finished 100%.
Where's the option for no finish? I kind of get the feeling that Silva is just going to beat him up throughout the fight and not go for the finish to prove a point. We may see some tense moments with TD's from Chael, but even on his back, Silva will be the one causing damage.
I think this fight is going to be completely opposite than the first one. Although, I hope I'm wrong. I'd love nothing more to see a very close fight(with Silva winning) for greedy purposes.
2nd..I reckon it'll be a feeling out process with AS using fast footwork to avoid his takedown attempts, until the last minute of the first then BANG! Silva cracks him with something that has Sonnen on queer street with Ando going in for the kill,but Sonnen hangs on, then Chael still isn't right at the start of the 2nd then Ando capitalises on him by punching,kicking and kneeing him until the ref stops it by tko..

Personally, i have tried to leave the first one out of my thoughts on the second for the most part. After watching like water when he promised Nog he would submit him, i feel this time he obviously wants to pound sonnen to oblivion and history shows when he wants to finish he does.
I think once Anderson is done breaking his ***, Sonnen himself will be the steak he hoped to eat: tender, bloody, medium rare. And when Chael's crying in his locker room afterwards ... well dat dar is what you call a damned juicy steak! Break your foot off in im, Anderson! :lol:
I agree with 2nd as well.
I think Anderson will come in looking to feel Sonnen out but at the same time ready for Sonnen to rush him like the first match.
As time goes on Anderson will get more and more intense.
He will catch Chael in the 2nd.
It will look similar to Silva vs Okami.
People aren't expecting it but I have a strong feeling we're gonna see Anderson take Chael down at least once, this time with better top control than he displayed in the first fight, very similar to the top control he had against Hendo in the 2nd round of their fight. It's a very underestimated part of the Spider's game because he rarely ever uses them, but he actually has some excellent takedowns.

He won't get finished because he's going to win the rematch, and even if he does get finished again, I don't think it's going to be via a Technical Knockout/Knockout. Chael Sonnen's never been knocked out before in MMA competition before. His two "knockout" losses are due to exhaustion and a cut I believe. If anything, he'll get submitted yet again, which I think would be even more embarrassing than being knocked out for the first time in his MMA career.

Vitor Belfort had never been knocked out before UFC 126... You sound a lot like his fans circa 2010 :roll:

Vitor Belfort is primarily a striker which raises the chances of him being knocked out significantly more than Chael Sonnen who's base for MMA is wrestling.
You sould a lot like an overzealous Anderson Silva fan. :roll:
If anybody is going to be capable of taking out Anderson Silva, it will be Chael Sonnen, who's main strength is Anderson Silva's main weakness.
That's humorous that you'd try to imply that I'm blinded by my liking of Silva when you speak blinded yourself. If anyone's capable of knocking out Sonnen, it'd be Silva. If anyone's capable of KOing anyone, it'd be Silva.
Anderson Silva very well might win this rematch, but it won't be due to knockout, it will be another submission, if anything.

Most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.
Sure. Sonnen has never been knocked out (but he was Tko by terry Martin awhile back) but he also hasn't faced ANY elite striker except for Anderson.
Hell, in the "one sided domination by Chael" Sonnen almost got ktfo in round 4 I believe.
My point, if anybody can/will do it, it will be Anderson.
On a side note: if you look at a lot of things Sonnen says, they apply to him (I just realized this).
You kno, being a phony I.e. wearing a fake belt, saying things you kno aren't true to get media attention ect.
Smoke n mirrors: look at his best wins, not all that impressive....but Anderson is the one beating the cans right?

Yeah, but had Vitor Belfort ever been viciously ko'd in the first round either?
the lure of Sonnen not being able to be tko'd is pretty funny.
(i know we';re agreeing if my post comes of as sarcastic.
)

most people believe Silva had a rib injury...........so if you have ever had a rib injury you will know it affects EVERYTHING.
so if silva does not have a rib injury then obviously the fight will be different.........which is what most is thinking.
i find it funny that people all of a sudden think Sonnen is some sort of MMA god now. The guy is a good wrestler who sits in guard and uses horrible GNP to keep the fight from being stood up.
I like sonnen and Silva but come on.........sonnen isn't anything special. Him and Guida have the same fighting style on the ground........stay in guard and throw as many tiny punches as possible to look busy.
Sure he might get a 5 round UD against Silva but i doubt it. If hendo couldn't beat Silva then Sonnen won't
