Looking at the way everyone other than Sonnen has been dominated by Silva, and then Sonnen's performance against Bisping has convinced me. Sonnen is just a standard top-5 mw and Silva must have been badly injured in the first fight. I'm going for Silva by total annihalation.

Still can't work out who I want to win though. If it weren't for Sonnen's awesomeness I'd want Silva to go undefeated the rest of his career, but a Sonnen win makes things so much more interesting.

Chael Sonnen is Andersons Juan Manuel Marquez with a lot more gangster in him.

Bisping is underrated. Why would Sonnen retire after a loss as he will be a top 3 MW behind the greatest MMA fighter of all time, pound for pound? I think this fight will be great and will deliver one way or another. Also, Sonnen is not just exciting in his pre fight talk. When I was watching the first fight live, I was on the edge of my seat in disbelief that this was happening.

This is such a bad argument. He was clearly being dominated in the first fight. Who cares about blood, different people show damage differently. Chael was putting him on his back and beating him up pretty good round after round.

Sonnen has the perfect skillset to beat Anderson imo. Able to take him down from the clinch, has a good shot if necessary, and has a very solid chin. Also, he has shown that he's not afraid of standing with Anderson. This will allow him to close the distance a lot more effectively. The Anderson should roll won't work against Chael because he is super prone to a takedown out of it. This is how Chael kept getting off well in the first fight. Anderson's defense against non-wrestlers is the GOAT, but it is not suitable for a very good wrestler in Chael.

Goddamn, Chael is on fire in the first few minutes of the press conference.

Something like:

"I'm like Jon Jones, talke like Sean Colmbs, and got trombone sized stones like John Holmes."

Anderson might just snap on Chael boxing press conference style.

Cracked rib ffs!!

Anderson kissed him on the cheek I think after just straight walking into Chael, he was lucky Chael didn't shoot a double and put him on his prissy ass.
