I will DEFINITELY be going. And yes, I am honestly disappointed that the main event is a Silva fight, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing him fight Sonnen because I think Sonnen might surprise us all.

Re: UFC 117

What do you think? Five-round LnP by Sonnen or five-round evasive countering by Silva?

I wouldn't call what Sonnen does LnP. I mean, it's important to make the distinction between a wrestler who just controls his opponent without doing any real damage and the shit that Sonnen did to Dan Miller and Marquardt. He's very active.

With that said. . .

The efficiency with which Sonnen took Nate down was very impressive and Nate couldn't do much about it once he was on the ground. Provided Sonnen can stay away from subs--always a problem for him, traditionally--then he just might be able to win this one.

Sonnen beating Silva seems like a longshot.

Well of course. But relatively speaking, plenty of longshots have come through in the history of the sport, including BJ/Edgar.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I do think that Sonnen has a tool--very strong wrestling--that plays to a weakness that Silva has always had, his takedown defense (though Maia obviously couldn't get him down . . . but he couldn't really get Dan Miller down either and we saw what Sonnen did to Miller).
