I don't think he will win. I don't think he will make it to the bell... whether he gets knocked out or submitted, not sure. I will say that Anderson's gas tank is not the best, and Chael does not seem to tire. So if manages to survive 2 rounds, he could win.

The funny thing about him, is he failed really damn hard, and he now tries to play it off as a troll. Chael is a real life troll, but I remember him fighting in Bodog and in teh UFC the first time, and he was always kind of like this, but serious. He used to talk about how he was a republican and stuff and how he is clean cut etc... but it was all a serious attempt to sell himself then. I guess because I remember the old stuff, I really think his whole schtick is lame.

Is sideloaded posting here again?
You think this :

Sonnen won each of the first four rounds on all of the judges' scorecards, with the scores heading into the fifth round being 40–34, 40–35, and 40–36

---

Is failing really damn hard,come on!

The guy had was given three 10-8 rounds on the judges scores cards against someone who was considered unbeatable? He was two minutes away from beating the guy who many consider the greatest mixed martial arts of all-time. He was tired and got caught at the end,simple as that.

Failed real hard,BOL!

Roy Jones wasn't 38 when he fought Griffin,speed is almost gone by that age. We all know what Roy was doing at 38

I got 5 right now, dunno if I will go 10 but maybe. I am gonna go 10 on Cormier though, too bad he isn't +220

with regard to Sonnen's failing hard, I wasn't talking about the fight. I was talking about him running for office and then becoming a real estate agent, then getting busted for money laundering, getting suspended, losing the fight, testing positive for PEDs, then going on TV and talking about how his balls never dropped.

I just meant that he basically had no choice but to play his whole idiotic existence off as a pro wrestling heel.

Also, Silva was hurt and Sonnen gave up with 2 minutes left in the fights. Renzo would have just let that shit snap like a man.

Thanks for clearing that up. I personally pay zero attention to what fighters do outside the cage so assumed you were talking about the fight.

Renzo would never been in a freaking championship fight to begin with,that fucker couldn't be the champ of the Kings of Leon(or whatever that org. is)

Silva was hurt............sure,sure. That's why it took him 2 years and 7 million dollars to finally agree to a rematch,not because he was thoroughly dominated the first time and wanted to secure a huge payday before being cast from his throne forever.

Yes, that is what men do . . . instead of tapping and losing they allow themselves to get badly injured before losing anyway.

Sounds like more of something a caveman would do.

Sonnen could have survived IMO. If ever there was a time to fight to the end, that was it, that is all I am saying.

Anderson doesn't have no 19% body fat.

I agree with that. With the title on the line and less than two minutes remaining I would have passed out first before tapping. Chael said he tapped from the choke not the armbar,but I'd still tap rather than have my arm broke no matter what the circumstances were.

I was speaking more about how people thought Griffin had Jones number, and was gonna beat him.

Im still mad RJJ "Jonesed" us losing to that White guy a couple years ago.

Oh, see I just figured he tapped to the armbar, because no self respecting man would tap to a choke in that circumstance. Hell, plenty of guys don't tap to a choke in a local grappling tourney. Nothing bad happens when you go to sleep, I hear you might shit your pants, but I have seen hundreds of guys fall asleep in practice and nothing ever happens except they wake up and deny they were out.

I tap to a joint lock regadless if I know I am stuck. But it didn't look fully locked to me, and now that you say he tapped to the choke, that makes sense. Tapping to a choke though, there is really no reason to do it, especially in a title fight. Fight it all the way to naptown.

So do you guys think Sonnen wins ITD this time?

Good old Montel Griffin, going from beating a prime Roy Jones through 8 rounds to a gatekeeper in boxing...........what a life fail!
