Gu31232 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Chael was recently interviewed by MMAFighting.com, where he was talking to Ariel Helwani about who he wants to fight next, and in the interview, he had a lot of things to say. He mentioned that he would like to go up to 205 and fight Machida, and honestly, I think that Chael is barking up the wrong tree with this match-up. How do you think Chael would do against Lyoto? I personally think that Lyoto is a nightmare match-up for him. Here's the interview. The whole video is worth watching. http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/07/03/chael-sonnen-says-he-would-have-finished-wanderlei-silva-quicker/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bear413 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 As far as the fight goes, Chael's face would look like raw hamburger after a 3 round decision, or Machida will just TKO him at some point. Sonnen wouldn't be able to take him down due to Machida's Kalib Starnes style of fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomanyhuggers Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Chael I think could win a round by getting a takedown and pounding on Lyoto. Just a round though, not the fight. Lyoto wins before the end of the second. I'm actually thinking Lyoto gets a takedown on Chael using a nice trip/throw, and drops some vicious ground and pound.

daveyk Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 i read on another post someone say that machida has questionable take down defence and chael would take him down with ease. that is ridiculous, machida has excellent takedown defence and is has also studied sumo. sonnen may score a takedown but i think machida would smash him up beforehand and eventually finish him late in r2, by however he choses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team_spahr Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 if the Chael we saw man handle 3 top MWs in Marquardt, Okami, and Silva shows up, I think hes a bad matchup for Machida. But most likely it wont be due to rust, no steroids, and a move up in weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_Against_The_World Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'd have to pick Machida but honestly this would be a great fight to see how prepared he is for Jon Jones wrestling, I know it's differently wrestling styles and Jones has sick striking with the reach negating Lyotos counter style of fighting but if he can stuff and sprawl through Chaels takedowns and knock him out , I think Machida is our man. I had Machida beating Rampage easily round 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epilogue1406051983 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 nothing would give me more pleasure to watch "some Karate guy" (as Sonnen put it) beat and frustrate the living piss out of Sonnen... Machida's fighting style is tailored to counter wrestling... I'm thinking Machida picks Sonnen apart for two rounds, then in the third when Sonnen is battered, Machida either TKO's him, or pulls guard and wins by triangle...

itsok Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 There is absolutely no way Sonnen can win that fight. He opposes no threat to Machida in any of the aspects of the game. None. The only way Sonnen can win any fight is to wrestle a decision win. But he will never get Machida down, which will make him have to stand with Machida and in the stand up Machida will kill Sonnen. But I would love to see the fight, Sonnen is such a cheap talking cheating piece of **** and it would be a pleasure to see his *** get kicked.

FraleyA Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Chael would dominate. Machida sucks. He beat Couture in his last fight,no big deal. He lost the three before that. Sonnen would kill him all three rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP24 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Machida would pound him and pound him and pound him for three rounds, and if it was a 5-RD main event, he'd pound him and pound him and pound him for FIVE rounds. Stylistically, Lyoto's a much worse matchup for Chael than Anderson is. Lyoto would hospitalize Chael, and that is not sarcasm, I mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Machida has, so far, been every wrestler's kryptonite. Just going by memory here, but I don't think he has even been taken down properly once. I mean, I'm curious as all hell about what happened when he sparred with Cain that one time. I wouldn't be surprised if our HW champ looked like a chump in there, getting stuffed like a monkey over and over again. Having said that, I would be ALL over Sonnen vs. Machida. It's a great stylistic matchup and they probably walk around at the same weight, anyway. Chael is a massive MW and Lyoto is a small-average LHW.
