Sonnen has the speed and chin to get inside on Silva and score multiple takedowns. Who has stopped Sonnen's double leg? Who's knocked Sonnen out?
There is definitely value. If silva wins i see it coming by strikes leading to a sub or just strikes.

True but most boxers don't have someone like Dana White sitting cage side shooting lasers out of his eyes. I honestly thought Dana wanted to murder Anderson after the fight.Quote:

^^ he just ran away from Maia the whole time. Maia finally gave up on the takedown and just started charging him with punches, but Anderson would't trade with him.
He said after the fight he got hurt once by Maia's punch and that he didn't want to risk it. I can understand that... but if you are going to do all that taunting, you better be willing to stand and box when the other guy just says screw it and starts winging punches.
I don't think Anderson cares what Dana thinks. He is the best fighter in the world, and he has as much leverage as the the UFC. He wants to retire anyway and he is Brazilian. I am actually pretty surprised one of these guys hasn't punched Dana in his gay poser head.Quote:

Even before the fight happened, I was saying that Maia's best friend in that fight might be the wrath of Dana White, if fear of Dana might make Silva engage and get taken down. Turns out that Anderson doesn't care about pissing off Dana, though.

I just now realized those were on the official UFC YouTube site. I had thought they were just fan-parodies.Quote:

I really think Hughes is the best value on the card.

I have 3u on Hughes right now, if money keeps on coming in on Almeida I might add another 2u. I really think the line is effected by Hughes standing up with Renzo in a very slow paced fight and Almeida putting a clinic on Matt not so good Brown in their last fights. I see Hughes grapplefucking Almeida and not getting subbed.
Hughes has never been submitted while in top control. Fun fact.
BJ took his back from the octopus guard. He tore his rib in the process though.Quote:
