UFC_311 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sonnen actually respects Stann. Should be an easy win for Chael. Bad match up stylistically for Stann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomanyhuggers Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sonnen can grind Stann to a UD. I don't think Stann can stop all the takedowns. Stann needs to catch Sonnen with strikes and tko him if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOGS17 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I don't like this fight for Stann :/ Sonnen is going to LnP on him to a UD. Hopefully Stann catches him with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyhuggers Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Stann will only lose if he doesn't properly defend the takedowns. I don't see Chael ko/tko'ing Stann at all. But I do think Chael can grind a UD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomanyhuggers Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think it is a terrible idea. I think they need to have Stann v. Silva. If Sonnen gets a UD over Stann, kiss that marketability goodbye. Sonnen/Silva 2 is just going to be an even easier win for Anderson than the first run. Sure it is marketable, but I think Stann makes for a more likeable opponent to get PPV buys. Stann (American Hero) v. Silva is an easily marketable fight. If Stann can pull such a huge upset and take the belt from Anderson, it would be ENORMOUS! A marine brings the belt home!!! Things would light up man. Still, I don't see anyone taking that belt anytime soon, Anderson will win in my book. But Stann seems a better choice to groom for the title fight.

Ocforums Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 sonnen has a good chin and he def take stann down and gnp .. stann might be getting better at his stand up and more confident but dont get it twisted .. his ground game isnt that great wanna see a war how bout match him with leben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattilHam Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 idontknowreally.... Stann trains smart and knows what he's doing..but chael is so dominant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyhuggers Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Chael IS dominant. The guy has an incredible ability to keep people on their back while he stays very busy with the pillowfists. However, I just don't see Stann doing well on his back. Thats why I got Chael by UD (grinder) Stann needs to tag that chin and tag it hard. Stann needs to wobble Chael (who has a great chin) with strikes, and hope he can drop some mad ground and pound and get a tko. Otherwise Chael is going to have him on his back for maybe 10+ minutes (in 3 rounds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_cillo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Know what? That Chael respects Stann or that Stann will lose? That Sonnen will respect Stann. If I was Chael I would only pick on hated fighters like Bisping etc. not Stann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFMRE Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I don't like this fight. Stann is one of the only guys in MMA that Sonnen won't have anything really bad to say about. Which takes away most of what makes Sonnen interesting. Plus I would really like to see both of these guys fighting for the title in the near future and this doesn't bode well for that. Plus the fight puts an exciting standup fighter against a ground and pound guy. It is a good test for Stann but will probably derail his rise unnecessarily.

ultimatefightingchamp Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Very interesting matchup. We could see a flash of Stann irritated with the trash talk that I believe will exist. Stann better start training some triangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Chael I would only pick on hated fighters like Bisping etc. not Stann I heard Chael say in a interview that "He (Brian) is an amazing human being." If you look at the UFC homepage, there is a picture of them together at some event too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc_ultimate Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 wow, I realy dont like that match up, i like both guys here, but Sonnen goes on there and is going to win, accept it or not but he was the only one to ever brought the fight to Silva. And I do like Stann a lot, am canadian but I do have a lot of respect for the army, and hhoooooooooo gooosssshhhh Brian Stann his well hyped and I love the way he fights its gonna be very tough to choose a fighter here, I realy hope they fight to a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
