Is chael Sonnen the real deal?

No i dont see him beating Silva, he basically talked himself into a title shot, I give him props on beating Marquardt but he went the distance and almost got KO'd a few times, I see him going for takedowns but after they get stuffed he's most likely going to get KO'd because his standup isnt good enough to consistently setup the takedowns. Plus Anderson hates him so he might be in trouble.

His wrestling is good, he is aggressive, and he'll go after Silva. He'll take Silva down in round 1, and lay on him. He won't try anything though while on the ground because he'll open himself up to Silva's submissions. Round 2 will come, and Silva will use his pin point striking and ko Chael. Silva is just to fast and accurate with his striking for Chael to counter.

Silva is going to WRECK Sonnen. Sonnen is a great wrestler forsure. But he's no threat to Silva. Silva wins by tko/ko or submission relatively early in the fight.

u know what im excited for this fight man... yhess chael has a good chance at beeting silva... yhea i sayd it chael can beet silva,

check it out, chaels wrestling is top notch, with wrestling he has amazing strength, cardio stamina, and grappling endurance, hes a great ground and pounder and controller, has excellent tds as whell.. his weakness is his sub defence, i dont see anderson subing out chael though, i exspect chael to be on top of his game against anderson on the ground where weve seen anderson struggle at times... but on top of that anderson has a great gaurd though, on the feet of course anderson has a devestateing edge, but chail doessent have bad offense and defence on the feet either, i see him moveing and moveing alot to avoid the big hits then working his takedown game... i still think anderson will win however i think hell give anderson troubles... but anything can happen whell see... anderson via 4th round tko

Chael Sonnen's stand-up is not the real deal. He is gonna get knocked out.

He pled responsible to funds laundering in connection with own loan fraud. He struck a deal plea deal although, so no penitentiary time. he would be on 2 years probation and could ought to pay a $10,000 effective.

at wrestling but i dont see him holding silva down for 5 rounds

he "can" win, but I have a feeling that Silva will break bones and batter him so badly that he will have to retire.

IMHO

Silva destroyed Lutter and Hendo, neither of whom is exactly a joke on the mat.

i think he definintely could if his able 2 take down Silve, & he had an even Higher chance if Silva is busy showboating & not taking the fight seriously
