TheSinisterUrge Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Give the man props, he was the only person on these forums that I recall predicted that Chael would win by submission, and that is exactly what happened. I think that we all knew, deep down, that Chael would win tonight but most of us believed it would be on the back of a LnP UD victory but good 'ol GoldenAfro called for a submission win and that is what we got. My hat is off to you sir, and I don't see how he doesn't get a second title shot after tonight, thanks to both his performance and his post fight interview with Joe Rogan. So I guess he only has one more fight for the UFC in his career, where does he go next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StompGrind Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Oh so he's psychic and just like a psychic you throw enough crap out there every once in a while you get a hit. Im calling blind squirrel found a nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAfro Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thank you thank you sir. People buy into the UFC hype machine way to much. Chael has a submission game, just because he has been submitted before, all by top level submission guys, doesn't mean he is scrub on the ground.

Who has Chael been submitted by that isn't a top level submission fighter? The lowest guy IMO is Forrest and that was years ago. Out of division and Forrest has a great guard.

StompGrind Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Who has Chael been submitted by that isn't a top level submission fighter? Doesn't matter. He doesn't know how to technically escape. He never reacts correctly when he gets caught because it's not a part of his arsenal. He just sits there tries to posture and when that doesn't work he taps. He's still very much still just a wrestler at submission defense. He's gotten a little better at prevention but that's not enough. It will always be a problem because he is stubborn and doesn't want to learn it for whatever reason...most likely wrestler's pride. Or he won't seek out good bjj players to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would respect your opinion if we were talking about low level submission guys, but we are talking about high level submission fighters. Chael has a fighting style and a I applaud him for not changing it and still taking his fight to his opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenAfro Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Doesn't surprise me' date=' Stann has crap ground game.[/quote'] Considering he had only once been submitted in his career and also holds a submission victory over a BJJ black belt. Yeah no ground game, try harder on your troll attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game is built on prevention which is wrong because you need to be prepared for when you do get caught too. Look at Bendo as a perfect example. That guy is a wrestler but he knows submission escapes and he does them instantanously and technically correctly. Sonnen is only mediocre at escaping and often looks like he doesn't know what to do. It doesn't matter if it's a bluebelt or blackbelt. Once's he's got, he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been training with Jake Shields during his time off. He had to learn a few new tricks during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He has been training with Jake Shields during his time off. He had to learn a few new tricks during that time. Yeah i did hear that. We'll see i guess.

waikru Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like golden afro, but Sonnen did what was expected. Remember Stann was the underdog in this fight not Chael. Hell, I picked him winning this fight and I cant stand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
