even in the unlikely scenario where chael wins, he'll be stripped of the title after the drug test.
Aaaand it has started. He hasn't even lost yet and Silva is already being Fedored.
In all honesty Sonnen has his chances, I like him and it would made me happy if he won, except if we later learn that he used drugs once again. I was already so disappointed the first time.
But I like Silva too, and there is absolutely no denying that he was the best in the first one. All the one saying otherwise are blinding themselves.
As Hex said, he won, and that's what matter in the end. He might have had difficulties but he's the one that took the only chance he got and won the fight while Sonen had a lot of opportunities and didn't finished him. In the end he was the best, the one with the better plan, the one who knew what he was worth and what his opponent was worth and capitilzed on it. That's being a pro and an excellent fighter : staying clear-headed even when you are taking hits and being able to reverse the whole fight in an instant with a tiny mistake.
After all that, you can "not like him" as Sparrow say he does have a pretty unusual style that may not be the best to appeal to the masses or the ones craving heavy punches.
Doesn't change the fact that so far his style has been the best, even if it makes the public and Dana angry.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
He's a wrestler, bro. If he's not punching you to set up a takedown he's punching you just to make himself look busy when he's in your guard.
Silva will have to do like Cigano's last fight .... when Sonnen goes to the floor Silva will stand up and call him up
And then Sonnen will not get even a small chance

Sonnen doesn't "go to the floor", Sonnen takes you to the floor.
brah Silva is going to be on his back faster than Miss Britney Palmer.

Silva's going to be hit by the biggest power double since Britney got Cerrone/Garcia'd.

Silva's going to KO Sonnen in round 1 or it's going the distance and Sonnen is going to win.

and the ability to compete with the champ
(on roids)
(sorry, on TRT to more than compensate for the last testosterone caused by his past roiding)
Dana White, UFC 148 and the rematch that almost wasn't: Silva vs. Sonnen II
lol @ Silver taking offense to being disrespected. Someone show this dude footage of his fights with Maia and Leites.

Sonnen just needs to borrow GSP's tub of grease and he'll be unstoppable.

Sonnen and Mir do not have the same takedown ability and Silva and JDS don't have the same takedown defence.
Free show from the Wrestling Observer site doing an in-depth breakdown of the Silva/Sonnen fight.

TOASTY!
LOL...more like taking offense to Uncle Dana deciding your clock is ticking and no longer protecting you. You're not fighting X-Arm combatant James Irvin anymore. Get mad.

people really think Chael can win this? I mean, for real?!
Maybe Michael Bisping is tougher than Anderson Silver. Come at me, playboy.

I'm guessing you missed it, but they fought before. You should check it out.

Of course it's sarcasm. I mean, after all Lutter, Irvin, Cote, Leites and Maia were all elite-level opponents that completely validate Anderson Silver's legacy as the GOAT. Just like Rizzo, Rogers and Zuluzinho validate Fedor's.

In all honestly I would have to knock Anderson below Fedor, GSP and Hendo on the GOAT list when he loses to Chael. It's a glaring hole in his legacy that his often boring fights did not make up for.
I feel like this is the kind of fight like the one people paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to seat on the first row to see Tyson end the fight in a few seconds.
But now you will have 9 other fights to entertain you.

Such as? Names, please.
I'm having a hard time coming up with any wrestlers other than Hendo or Chael who put themselves into title contention so that Anderson could fight them.
I'd just like to note that the last time Michael Jackson impressionist Anderson Silva decided to kiss his opponent he lost a unanimous decision.
Coincidence, friends?
