Did you even see that fight? Sonnen whooped Silva's butt until he got caught in a choke in the last 15 seconds. I call that a slip up on Sonnens part. Sonnen definetly won the fighting aspect against Silva..
Saw the fight, and yes Sonnen was beating him all over the palce. Don't think it will take as long for Sonnen to slip up in the next fight, but I hope I'm wrong.
Looking forward to the Silva-Sonnen rematch. As good as Silva is in most every aspect of his game, the grappling game is still his Achilles heel and that is where Sonnen excels. Of course Silva's trainers also said he had a serious rib injury in their first fight that limited his ability to fight as he normally would. Should be interesting and with Sonnen's mouth, it will be well hyped.
As for Jones-Evans, I think Jones is just too much for Rashad. Jones will overwhelm him with his reach, ingenuity and pure athleticism at some point like he has with every opponent so far. That kid is a beast and only gets better with each fight.
Agree with previous comments.. Jones just may be too much for rashad.. however.. Jones jaw hasn't really been tested yet and rashads boxing is more than capable of testing it.. if he can get the uppercut in flush..
Sonnen has the grappling to take silva out but you can bet silva is going to do everything he can to stay outside and pepper shots..in and out .. the boring getthewin silva will reemerge.. won't be a repeat of first fight..
Yes, he won the 3rd, but he got schooled in 1 & 2..... I don't even like Bisping, but I think he got jobbed on this one.
What the???? Sonnen got schooled in the 1st and 2nd rounds? How? Bisping did nothing that stood out at all. He didn't get any flush hits in at all during the entire fight. Look at Sonnen's face after the fight....Nothing, Zilch, Nada. Bisping maybe got a couple mediocre knees in and turned Sonnen around on the cage a time or two but whip-pee. I saw who won the fight before the 3rd round began. Easy decision and the right one by far. Just my 2 cents.
