Lyoto machida

The last picture i saw of Chael' date=' he looked big. I mean REALLY big. I still didn't expect him to make the jump to LHW though.

 

I honestly don't see him doing well at LHW, there are too many wrestlers who are simply better than him at his own game.[/quote']

 

name them? I will give you Jones and Evans.....maybe BADER haha

 

In the countdown show, it'll just show Sonnen sitting there quietly staring at the camera and then he'll shake his head for a moment.

 

"He drinks piss. That's all you really need to say about Lyoto."

matt hamill? rich franklin? rampage? matyushenko? maybe forrest? tito ortiz maybe too? all of them might not be better at wrestling than he is but bigger and stronger guys cant see chael doing well at LHW to be honest

 

EDIT ryan bader would man handle chael sonnen when it comes to wrestling

Lyoto, don't feel bad that you don't have the belt. You still have that little cotton one my nephew has.

Lyoto would wreck Sonnen... seeing that Lyoto's style is tailor made for wrestlers with pillowfists, this would be an easy fight for Lyoto...

 

Lyoto would pick Sonnen apart for two rounds, rock Sonnen in the third, and while Sonnen goes for a single leg TD after being rocked, Lyoto rolls into it and subs him by....... you guess it........... TRIANGLE

Sonnen is looking big. He would take down Rampage and block Hamill's takedowns then beat him on the feet.

 

have to disagree bro but hopefully sonnen moves up so we can see how he does n hopefully get kod by machida... or if hamill done a ko like the munoz 1 chael hits his loud mouth of his own knee when hes falling down that would be awesome

Chael Sonnen might have the best wrestling in the UFC.

Yes. Jones, Rashad, Bader... I was also thinking Davis, Forrest, Hammil and Brilz.

 

That's not even counting the monsters of the devision who would manhandle Chael through strength alone - Vemola, Soszynski, T. Silva and to some extent Bonner.

 

There are lots of people dropping from 205 to 185, but i can't think of anyone going the other way since Franklin.

Sonnen is a massive MW and nearly ragdolled his whole division. People saying he can't be competitive at 205 are playing the fool card, fuh sho. Rashad is a naturally smaller man in comparison and is easily Top 5, so saying Sonnen can't do anything with his wrestling there when he arguably has an even better wrestling base than Evans is rap-star ludicrous. Hell, Chael could very well have the best wrestling in all of MMA right now and I'm not even that big of a fan.

 

Having said that, I'd put my money on Lyoto, but that doesn't mean this fight wouldn't be ALL kinds of awesome.

 

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Ahahahahaha, LMFAO!

 

 

I do admit that Sonnen will get extremely hurt in this fight. I see Machida keeping his range and picking him apart in this fight. Don't be suprised if we see a flying knee to Front kick KO type ****, lol.

Rashad Evans might be the most overrated wrestler in the entire sport. Don't be surprised if he loses a decision to Phil Davis and misses out on losing his life against Jones.

 

Collegiate wrestler at 165 and 174 with a record that's something like 48-35... wow. Jones and Machida would bury him.

It doesn't matter. How effective a fighter's wrestling pedigree translates into MMA isn't necessarily determined by his success in college. Rashad has proven that he can straight-up overwhelm some of the best in the division with his grappling, speed, and explosiveness. Who can argue that he isn't Top 5 right now? Holding his unimpressive collegiate record against him now is absolutely pointless.

He held onto an injured Thiago Silva and landed 3 strikes on the ground over 3 rounds... he's a badass... :rolleyes:

Isn't that what wrestlers do? That's what we're talking about here isn't it, his wrestling? Nobody said he was the baddest mofo on the planet. He's a very effective wrestler with speed, conditioning, and unique footwork. So far, he has managed to get far with the tools he has. The way he sets up his shots and the pure explosiveness of his shots is very impressive. He's a tactician and the same can't be said of some of the guys with the best collegiate records in MMA, i.e. Lesnar, Bader.

Sonnen talks like his name is in the mix for the list of P4P. He said he can fight Machida as a tune up fight? Meanining He'll easily beat Machida and knock the ring rust off....this dude is out of his mind, plz UFC plz, feed Sonnen to Machida...

I would love to see a Sonnen vs Machida match. Although I would request it be a long fight so that Sonnen cant just lay and pray.

 

Hopefully it's a mian event and with the new rules applied with all main events being 5 rounds title or non title match. i think its a great idea btw

Sonnen would give any wrestler hell even at 205. However Machida would ****ing ruin him. Not even a Lyoto fan but he's the most well rounded grappler in the division. He'll get the belt back and keep it until Rua/Machida 3.

 

Sonnen's been at @ 205 & Machida's been @ 220 (vs your boy ;)),

I dunno about Chael moving to lhw now, its just a distraction imo -

... that division needs to sort itself out & there's much better possible

match-ups than Machida/ Sonnen -

I know he has but he weighed about 199 the last time he fought at light heavy. Now he's just as big if not bigger than Machida who is very light for his division at around 209-213.

 

I'd like to see Machida slap him anyway...

I posted Cheal Sonnen's interview earlier, but they wouldnt let me post the link. I have Machida all the way if this fight happens.
