Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 i know it's nit picking at this point, but didn't Sonnen drop Silva twice with strikes? The thing that makes Sonnen so dangerous is that he isn't afraid to walk though shots to get his takedown, that was the difference when Okami fought Silva, he was petrified. Chael showed Silva no respect, and Silva did nothing in the fight to make Chael respect him, i see the 2nd fight being very similar. I ain't saying Silva won't KO Sonnen but i just think Chael is gonna give him hell again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ouch! This might come back to bite me but I can't see anything other than Cain demolishing him within a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Me either. I can't see how Mir gets the fight in a position that is advantageous to him. Unless he can hit a flying arm bar or something like that. Cain will surely dismantle him standing and I doubt Frank can take him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Frank never took Nog down really, he never took Brock down also both ended the same, Cain will drop Mir but will just need to be careful not to fall into the Venus fly trap that is Frank Mir by picking his shots.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Cain has better hands than both Brock and Nog though. I think he'll put Mir away efficiently and Mir won't have the time or sense of baring to be able to grab a limb. Â And regarding Brock - that was is UFC debut so I wouldn't read too much into that, considering what happened in their second fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1SinN6 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Even I am not compeletly sure Frank can pull that one off. That cardio needs to improve NOW!.. getting sick and tired of seeing somebody so talented gas in a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 Exactly. I believe if Nog had continued to throw punches while Mir was turtled then the fight would have been stopped a few seconds later. It was the guillotine that messed it up for Nog. I can't see Cain attempting something like that he'd rather just continue to pound on Mir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2011 fucking hell, Gilbert's looking good. I wonder if he'd ever get another crack in the UFC? his heavyweight run was disastrous but i always got time for Gilbert. He'd be a great addition to Bellator's 205lb division.
