Sonnen/Machida for real?


TheHorror

Recommended Posts

on the fighters only website it says that UFC could be trying to put the bout together possibly for UFC 136 in Houston. While i hope it's not true because i like both fighters' date=' and don't want either to lose, it's an interesting fight. Maybe it's just a dumb rumor too.

It seems very few people give Chael a chance in this one. It reminds me of when he begged for the A. Silva matchup. Everybody just laughed him off as some clown with a big mouth, who wanted to make a name for himself. Those same people sat in complete disbelief, not saying much, while Silva got manhandled for the majority of 24 minutes. Silva gets the triangle and they jump up saying sheet like "he was setting him up the whole time". Laughable. Chael could have easily coasted to a victory on the score cards, like Silva does time and time again. Thats not Chael Sonnen. He keeps attacking, no matter what the situation. Lyoto is and always will be one of my favorite fighters, but I believe this is a very bad matchup for him. Not to mention there is not much to gain with a win over a middleweight who hasn't fought in ages.

LoL, even with his roids it wouldnt help Fail...

 

Machida is a legit BJJ black belt... Even IF he

was on his back (which I highly doubt Fail would even get him there)

Lyoto would sub him quick snap... Literally...

 

& LMFAO... You dont think Machida could get on

top of Fail ?

 

Son put the pipe down...

 

Machida via whatever he wants...

im sure he 'could' on top of chael..machidas wrestling is strong for a predominately stand up fighter but babalu was the last guy i saw take chael down and chael quickly reversed it,its a real possibility he could floor him with a punch or kick and get on top tho,its an interesting clash of styles with no clear winner and you know the ufc and chael will hype this big!!

again ye im sure he COULD but we have to look at recent fights as evidence and its unlikely he takes chael down,but i have to agree with you chael will struggle to find hm and lyotos a big man to manhandle (wich is chaels main strength)..thats why its going to be a good clash of styles and i think chael couldnt have picked a tougher oppenent to make his return to 205 for example id pick chael to dominate rampage jackson what u think?
