Chael Sonnen appreciation thread

Sonnen -210, was hoping for a better line, but still has value.

[Luke]

Yeah.......I'm not betting Sonnen that high

[poopoo333]

I would have taken him @-200, but he is going to creep up to -275/-300 range before 5dimes or bookmaker opens the line

[SPX]

There's still a ton of value at -220, I think. Sonnen should be -500.

Sonnen's gonna Phil Davis his ass.

[poopoo333]

I am just going to wait for the decision prop. Line is too steep for me considering Sonnen might have low test levels

[MMA_scientist]

If Sonnen is off the juice (doubtful), he is going to revert back to Bodog Sonnen and get his ass kicked.

X is trolling

[SPX]

I'm not trolling at all. I made my bet immediately and couldn't believe how good of a line I got.

[Thewisemann]

I'll take Sonnen at the current line

Hey, he never lost in Bodog. I agree with X here. I think this is a good matchup for Sonnen, roids or no roids.

^^ I generally meant, mid-career Sonnen, who could not make it in the big shows so had to go to smaller orgs. Then he magically got like 5 times better in his mid thirties... without the juice, Sonnen is B level.

without testosterone, everyone is B level.

Agreed.

Well he is probably juicing but I'm not sure that is the only reason for his increases success. He was only tko'd once in his career and aside from that it has been pretty much just submission losses. He has been avoiding the subs more(except for top level guys like Anderson, Maia and Filho). Maybe he has finally learned that gay jiu jitsu sport.
