I'm not even convinced in Chael's ability to consistently get takedowns. Sure if he gets his hands on him Silva is going down and he'll likely get 1 or 2, but Silva is faster and his takedown defense revolves around effective footwork. I see Sonnen (R-Or) having real problems getting in close enough to put his hands on him. He's going to get blasted eventually. His best chance is to get Anderson down early, and put such a beating on him in the first round that he wears down, gets tired, and loses speed, power, and confidence. I don't find this likely considering that Chael doesn't even try to pass guard and Anderson is great at minimizing damage from guard. It just seems like overall a terrible style matchup for Mr. Sonnen.
This is an awesome fight breakdown.
No, seriously. . . I think you are more than likely correct, but I nevertheless give Chael a shot. He surprised everyone against Marquardt, so let the man have his shot.
Come on now. Worse than Dan in every way. Sonnen goes in there and gets takedowns. He does not go in there and just wildly throw right hands. No way in hell Dan is better than Sonnen. Sonnen would put Dan on his back with ease.
You honestly believe Dan would put Okami and Nate on their backs the way Sonnen did.
I watched Sonnen's recent fights today, and he seems to get better in each fight. I think Sonnen knows he is going to have to take some damage to get inside and get the takedown, and I think he is going to come out fast like he has been doing and get in Silva's face before trying to put him on his back. I think Silva will gas if Sonnen can wrestle him for at least 2 rounds.
I'm a bit new here, but I have a feeling these posts are very familier to the ones leading up to the Nate-Chael fight. With many not giving Sonnen a chance at beating Nate.
