adambomber Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 In the first fight Sonnen was winnin the whole fight, but then just laid down in Filhos guard and got armbarred. Then in the rematch Filho didnt do anything but flop to the ground and hope sonnen came into his guard, and all Sonnen could do is win a decision. i cAnt believe he even is in the ufc i guess this is some curse to my mind that a horrid fighter is now believed to be able to beat the best. Yeah dude, you can wrestle, now ur the best fighter ever:rolleyes: Fedor is considerered overrated by these dimwits and he is undefeated in ten years, yet Sonnen who loses every other fight can beat Silva, but Fedor cannot?

adabesi Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 In the second fight Filho was clearly worried about Sonnens corner jumping into the ring, he kept looking to his right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP24 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 First off, I think Fedor can beat everybody. Second, no, I do not think Sonnen can beat Anderson. Third, Sonnen HAS improved. Fourth, Sonnen's hilarious, and I love the role he plays in the UFC. Five, why is it wrong to bandwagon? I think it's okay, but when you jump off as soon as the understood subject loses, that's retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he beat Silva then he would deserve all this credit, but all this is premature. The point is to be a true fan of good fighters, not a bandwagoneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnen's earned all the praise he's getting, while at the same time he's earned all the BS he's getting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GstarUk Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I dont think Sonnen can beat Silva or belfort... but you never know... Was suprised that Sonnen did dominate nate to that degree. But if anything thats just shows how poor nates ground game is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiglow Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I completely agree. So many bandwagon jumpers for a fighter who's mediocre. Can't wait when Evan Dunham starts to climb to the top to watch all the bandwagon jumpers. Already got a few from his last fight, so it's only a matter of time.

Alpha_Omega Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 To be fair, when a guy dominates two top 5 fighters in a row people will take notice. And given Anderson's weakness has been proven to be wrestling, people are going to speculate. Especially given the fact that Nate was thought to have good wrestling, as well.

PunchBag Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Difference between silva and nate though is silva is much better at getting off the ground ocne hes on it and all sonnen can hope to do is get another decision victory over silva, that leaves alot of potential chances for silva to ko or tko sonnen from the standup between those 5 ronuds. Also in the last round Sonnen had worn himself out. Nate still looked fresh and probably would have taken a victory in a 5 ronud matchup agaisnt sonnen. This will be a 5 ronud fight and i dotn think he can keep that pace up for 5 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunchBag Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Silvas standup is much better than nate and also hes alot more defensive i expect him to get taken down less due to his cautious attitude and get the ko through his superior standup.
