We’re still over two weeks away from this fight, but I think it’s time to start hearing from the fans. Get your vote in, I’m curious to see how many people actually think Sonnen will pull this off.

Studog: Dear Anderson Silva: Do us all a favor and drop this chump. Studog: This is huge for Chael Sonnen. He did NOT want to fight Anderson in Brazil.
Chael by Submission???? Wow! how do you figure that? Chael is more likely to GET submitted. I didn’t expect that one… I was thinking maybe grind out a decision or work the GnP for a TKO.
Then again, Leben submitted Akiyama so anythings possible…
but chaels GnP is sloppy so i think someone like silva would be able to submit him,but im hoping for the KO.
My thoughts exactly Richard. Sonnen will definitely get the takedown and you can’t really KO a guy from your back so a sub is the best choice. Especially considering 7/10 of Chael’s losses have been by sub.
The thing is, I have a feeling Anderson wants to beat him up, punish him for the disrespect. That’s why I’m picking KO, maybe he could sweep him instead of submitting him just to beat him up some more.
I concur. Anderson’s game is on his feet, so he’ll be thinking “knockout” from the opening bell–he does NOT want to do the Willie Pep thing with this guy and score points playing with him. He wants him out of there, and is probably willing to throw first to do it.
That said, if Sonnen can get him down, Silva will try to take the submission rather than go out of his way to make a point with a knockout. At the end of the day a win’s a win, and nobody knows that better than Anderson Silva.
