Brent555 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm aware there are alot of topics about this, but I wanted a poll to take a census of the overall opinion. I personally believe he deserves one now, even though I don't think he will win. People said Okami deserved one when he was on his 3 fight win streak, then Chael beat him. Everybody, even Belfort said Marquardt should get the next title shot, then Chael beat him. Many people say the way to defeat Anderson Silva is with wrestling, so with Hendo gone...who does that leave? Chael. Anyways, that is my input on the matter. I'd like to hear others. EDIT: Also, if you choose one more fight, please make a suggestion of who you think that fight should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares9139 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 He destroyed the top contender in the division. He definitely deserves a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentson Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think he does. Who else would he need to beat in order to #1 contender? He took out the top dog for the #1 contender spot and considering his previous impressive win over Okami I would say he deserves a shot for sure.

ricky_mma Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yup he dominated okami and nate. For me he defo deserves the shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmdsounddotcom Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I said this before the fight; if Chael wins he needs one more fight for the title. not going to lie though, I thought this was going to be an easy one for Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent555 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not that it matters. If Anderson beats Belfort, knowing him it will probably be another year or two before he defends the belt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonyoda Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I was genuinely shocked & pleased for him last night, i was a huge doubter and although i have ni intention of jumping on his bandwagon & claiming to have been a fan for years but he has earnt a whole lot of respect and undoubtedly, in my opinion, the title shot.

ThePredictor Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yes. He deserves a title shot. When you decisively beat the number one contender you should be in line for a title shot. I don't think Hardy did that and he is getting a title shot...if there is any controversy I think it should be over Hardy's premature title shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erjabo Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 If you beat the #2 ranked guy in the world with 30-27's across the boards, you definitely deserve a shot. As much as I don't like the guy, he should get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlitonds Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I believe he does...let's not forget he should have been the WEC champ as well before coming to the UFC by beating Filho. He beat Nate and Nate was top of the food chain for a title shot...can't really deny him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate was the #1 contender. Sonnen beat him. Pretty clear cut there. That's not even considering his previous 2 fights, against Okami, and Miller. Okami is world ranked at MW and he dominated him when he was the underdog. He took the fight with Miller on short notice, 22 days, lost over 35 lbs in that time to make weight, went in as the underdog, and save for an early guillotine attempt from Miller, dominated the fight. Three fights in a row hes gone in as the underdog, and dominated all three of them. Sonnen seems to be emerging as one of those guys your just better off never counting out.

LESNAR16FTW Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 He destroyed the top contender in the division.

RodrigoRua Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thats funny .. yes he deserves (he destroyed a top contender) however Silva might be laughing (if he beats belfort) ...

To say Marquardt is a bigger danger to Anderson is wrong. If you look at Andersons fights he had a little trouble angainst wrestlers. Travis Lutter had him in Full mount but alas he was so gassed his punches couldnt break eggshells. Hendo took him down and won a round, even Nate took him down (I dont see how now lol) Good Chin and great takedowns + Ground and Pound = Best chance to beat Anderson Silva. Thus Chael is the best match up against the Spider right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacon_n_jelly Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i wouldn't count out sonnen, silva has struggled with wreslting before, so sonnen might make it interesting. the only problem is that i don't think sonnen would be able to finish the fight, and 5 rounds is a long time to not make a mistake against anderson when one mistake is all he needs...

BlackhouseFan Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I voted yes, simply b/c I felt that Marquardt was the number 1 contender without a doubt, and Chael took him out. With that said..I think that he deserves the a#@ whippin that Anderson is gonna give him even more. He says the most ludacris things about the absolute best mixed martial artist on the planet???? Anderson could beat him with one arm tied behind his back and salt in his eyes, but now after hearing all the Sh&@ Chael's talking, I cant wait for that fight.

MysticKJ Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 he should get a shot...he took out Yushin who always floats around the top of the MW division and took out Nate the Great... plus imo he was the former WEC champ so he has been in the big fights... he deserves the fight, honestly who else should he have to beat?

UFCExcession Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think he matches up to Silva as well as anyone else in the division right now. May as well - he beat Okami and Nate and lost to Maia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team_spahr Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 dominated okami and basicly outright stole his momentum, which launched him to fight #1 contender who was basicly waiting for the title fight to be settled out in marquardt(if silva wasnt injured and the belfort fight happened sooner, marquart wouldnt have had the sonnen match adnd straight to title fight) and completely outclassed him. This is the most excited ive been about a silva opponent taking the crown since hendo (including belforts next fight). having 1 more fight wouldnt hurt him though, and maybe sitting on the sidelines for 5-6 months waiting for silva/belfort could possible hurt his momentum. I didnt like sonnen as a fighter and didnt like his odds going into that fight. I think he won a lot of people over with that performance, including myself.

flipmodollas Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not that I'm jumpin on this guys so called " bangwagon" but I said it before the fight that alot of people where looking past Sonnen, they were expecting to see Nate run through him me, and a few other posters said it would be a tough fight for Nate and look what happend. I don't understand why theres so much hate for Sonnen he put on a great preformance and won the fight,so the fighter you wanted to win lost big deal happens alot give the man his due props. As far as the title shot goes,lets see how Vitor does first give Sonnen another fight and if he wins that then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCITOLDUSO Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Definitely should be next in line. He made Marquardt (no. 1 contender) look avg. What a surprise. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grappler774 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah, Sonnen is one of those guys that I just cannot count out. Much like Couture. Every time I think they are done for, they come out and make the other guy just look average.. It's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
