I took Sonnen over Okami and will take him in this fight.

[Luke]

I think Sonnen will kill Silva.So much so we should all bet Sonnen until the line drops to around -350 for Silva

[SPX]

My initial reaction is to act fast and get on Sonnen before the line drops. . .

But then I thought that with Maia against Silva and the +325 I took him at was a joke price before it was said and done. I'm going to sit back and let the money come in on Silva. Then I will be on Sonnen for sure.

WAR SONNEN!

As long as Silva's lines continue to be astronomically high then I will continue to drop units on anyone who I think has a chance against him.

Honestly I think Sonnen has little chance in reality. 5 round fights favor the more dynamic fighter, and that is Silva times a billion. Silva will probably try to be elusive and stay away with his footwork, which he's very good at doing. If Chael gets him down, which I do think is likely at some point, he likes to stay in guard and drop punches and elbows. He doesn't attempt to pass at all. Anderson Silva has a very dangerous guard to just be sitting in, whether it's from upkicks or submissions. Much more active than Nate Marquardt at least. I'd really be surprised if Chael was able to do that for 5 rounds straight without being KOd or submitted. The amount and potency of offense that Anderson Silva is capable of makes this an extreme longshot for Chael to endure in my opinion, especially considering he lacks the offense to consistently finish.

Silva isnt going to lose to anyone at 185 .Your best bet at him losing is if he went up to fight Mir and then came back down betting against him once he has to cut all the weight he gained

If this goes to -375 I'm on Silva

More gems from Sonnen.

The buildup to this fight is going to be spectacular.

-Was already slated to fight Silva next anyway

-To Dana: "I don't know what's going to happen (with his fight with Silva), but I promise there will be a fight"

- "I compare Anderson to Britney Spears. She shaved her head to get headlines. Britney Silva went up to 205, retired, etc. Nobody cares"

-"Watch him walk in a room. People come up to me with a pen and a pad, no one cares about him. BJ Penn sold out the Dubai fight, nobody cares about Anderson"

- "When my music hits and the doors close, the fight's on. I'm not going to dance, juke or jive. I will find him"

- "You know what you're getting (with SIlva). A guy who pretends he doesnt speak English, is a fantastic athlete, and acts like a fool. If you like that, go buy his t-shirt with the other two guys who like him."

- "I've beaten every champion of every company out there. I've lost ten seconds total of my fights combined. You ask me how I'm going to beat him, ask the other 25 guys in my way."

He is -325 on Bookmaker

thats perfect

That might end up being a 2 unit play at those odds

[Thewiseman]

I will take two bets for this fight. One on Sonnen and one that he wins a decision. If he can get through the 1st two I think he takes it.

I'm not hating I'm just speaking the truth .We're all here to make money and betting Sonnen isnt going to win anyone money

[SPX]

I'm not hating I'm just speaking the truth .We're all here to make money and betting Sonnen (R-Or) isnt going to win anyone money

But people said the same about Edgar. . .

Silva is not an invincible superhuman.

I dont even like Silva but he'll win this fight easily .


I never said anything about BJ Penn was going to destroy Edgar nor did I bet it.I said Hughes was the best bet of the 3(Silva,Penn,Hughes)

[Luke]

Silva is boring ,doesnt take chances and if afraid to get hit but when I think he'll win I'll bet him

Maybe not you, but there's a reason Penn's line got all the way up to -1100 on Bodog. Almost no one gave Edgar a chance.
