I wanna know why he employ that strategy against Lil Nog?

Black and broke. He loaded up on the +450 underdog.

Lil Nog out........

Lil Nog out........

Chael offered to step in.

(seriously)

@ShogunRua I HEAR BRAZILIAN CHICKEN IS OFF THE MENU. AMERICAN GANGSTER IS STILL AVAILABLE IF YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR WAITRESS OVER.

Chael/Shogun is a more interesting fight IMO.

[edman5555]

Chael should be able to win that.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Shogun will win. Curious on the line.

[SPX]

You think Shogun can stop the takedowns?

[zY|]

Shogun wins in the first round or he doesn't win.

This will be decided on the mat. Shogun by sub or Sonnen by dec.

This. I remember Shogun trying to stop Coleman from taking him down and sort of failing. Machida took him down a couple of times in their second fight.

Sonnen is a felon so he can't get a visa to go to Brazil. Ryan Jimmo vs Igor Pokrajac is the main event. Jimmo should win that one.

What Jordan said.

You think Shogun can stop the takedowns?

Maybe. But I think he has a pretty good shot even if he can't stop the TD. Size helps quite a bit on TDs. I am not convinced Sonnen is going to be able to take down 205ers the same way he did at 185. But I think there is a good chance Shogun finds an opening at some point either way. That said, Shogun will probably gas out about 2 minutes in.

[Thewisemann]

I don't think the fight is happening. But if it does good chance Shogun subs him.
