Has to, IMO, if he's a real champion. Sonnen now knows it takes more than wrestling to beat him. After having complete ground control over a guy for 4 and 1/2 rds.... took one punch for him to get a submission hold. Sonnen cant count on the fight unfolding the same way the next time. Silva knows it only takes one good punch. Sonnen needs to do much more damage the next fight. |

Fedor? Come on. Have you never seen a Fedor fight? He's done exactly what Silva did on a handful of occasions. Except for in his last fight, when he tapped right away. Let's not forget that Silva WON the damn fight. The P4P discussion is him and GSP. Nobody else. Last edited by Jim Jones; 08-08-2010 at 05:32 AM.. |

Sonnen's face may have looked worse, but there is no way in hell his body feels like andersons does. Anderson will feel it alot more.

Don't forget Shogun won the pride grand prix beating HW's in the process. He has had some injury issues, but now that he is back at full strength I don't see him losing for some time, much less being man handled for 4-5 rounds like Silva wa. Also what a bitch of an excuse Silva laid out there at the end for getting his ass kicked. He said he had a broken rib or some bullshit. |

Eh, that's the Brazilian ground game, eat some punishment and wait that opening. It just took 4.5 rounds for that opening, he'd been working for it the whole fight though. I was impressed by Sonnen, he kept throwing enough on the ground to keep the ref from standing them up the whole fight, he just chipped away at him, but it wasn't enough.

I don't think there is much doubt now that GSP would lay waste to Silva.

That's twice now that Silva has been shown to really have a problem with Wrestlers. Hendo did a similar thing to him first round but got caught in the second. Sonnon was winning 8-10 rounds with it. Anderson doesn't do well off his back at all. GSP would put him there faster and easier than Sonnon did, and Sonnon had no problems doing it.

Anybody else as impressed with Bones Jones as I am? I think he might be the GSP of the LW division for years to come. |

I hope that fight takes place in the foreseeable future and Silva gets his ass handed to him. |
