Sonnen vs Bisping.
When Munoz got injured the first thing that came out of my mouth was "Fuuuuuuuuck" because I thought I was going to be Sonnen-less for the next UFC on Fox. Then Dana White made a decision and made my dreams come true with a Sonnen vs Bisping fight (winner gets a title shot).
Now I know a ton of people that hate Sonnen and there are even more who hate Bisping. This is like when the WWE has 2 heels fighting over a title shot, then the Rock would come in, Rock bottom both heels, pose on the ring post, grab a mic, cut a 20 minute Promo, then leave. "If ya smellllllllllllllll lalalalalalala". I don't think that will happen on Saturday because Anderson Silva can't cut a promo.
Why Sonnen wins this: Wrestling, Trash Talking, America (Fuck Yeah), Granite Chin, Ground n Pound
I am gonna say this....Sonnen knows how to win. Say what you will but he actually put a beating on Anderson Silva that day, and was a few minutes away from being the MW Champ....then getting stripped of the title because he was TRT'ed up. The guy has the best wrestling @ MW, and knows how to control his opponent via Ground N Pound.
Why Bisping wins: Striking, BJJ
In the stand up, Bisping has a better kickboxing base than most. He also has a good ground game. Do I ever see him as a contender.....not really but if he wants a shot @ the title he's going to have to bring his "A" game (not the one he brought against Hendo). If he's smart, he'll get taken down and hold Sonnen in his Guard, until Sonnen leaves his arms out.....boom, triangle, but I can honestly see Bisping hitting an armbar here.
Why Sonnen doesn't win? BJJ
Why Bisping doesn't win? Wrestling Defense
He was taken down a few times in his fight with Hamill, and even was taken down by Mayhem before he gassed. I don't know if Chael has the power standing but he coould tko bisping on the ground.
Who wins and why? Sonnen by Decision
Bisping will take a beating. He will throw every submission in the book: Armbar, Triangle, Rear Naked Choke, Moss covered three handled family grudunzle, etc. But in the end, Sonnen will be the winner. His wrestling and GnP is too strong for Bisping to handle.
Now if Bisping locks up the triangle, and wins, this will be my reaction.
Bisping locks up the triangle:

i'm excited for these fights. i think i'm actually rooting for bisping. i've like him ever since he hired the mariachi band on TUF. its the 2nd greatest prank ever (1st best is the upper decker by war machine)
ReplyDelete@gerry, the little gifs in there are great. when silva does KO either guy, i'm gonna be yelling like lamar odom. (guy of the left)
I'm cheering for bisping too. He shut up sonnen when he said, Sonnen needs TRT because he only has 1 ball.
ReplyDeletelol, there was a guy in MFC that is the light weight champ, he came in to his fight 6 pounds overweight.
ReplyDelete"grab a mike, cut a promo, then leave" -gerry
ReplyDeletenailed it on this one, sonnen had some rehearsed lines, he took the mike and spouted his nonsense, then he left before joe rogan actually asked him any questions. bispings take down defense was decent and he did a great job of pushing sonnen up against teh cage. he didnt allow sonnen to do much damage while on top. bisping really needed to land more strikes though.
"in the presence of greatness"
ReplyDeleteMaybe great at squeaking out a win against a last minute replacement.
i dont count chaels wins until the drug test comes back. it could still be bisping vs silva.
ReplyDeleteBest part of the night was when Big Chris was telling us about the "ladies" he was talking too.
