Paid Members Dead Mike Posted November 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 If by 'everything' you mean Sonnen's face? Then I certainly hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Terrible decision by UFC imo, I'm looking forward to watching it but still they're putting high risk to the possibility of one of the biggest fights available to them. Â Munoz is more than capable of winning aswell, but I don't think anyone (whose last name isn't Munoz) would want to see Anderson/Munoz over Anderson/Sonnen 2.

John Galt Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I can't see the outcome being anything other than Chael dominating the ground game and getting either a tap or a unanimous decision. You guys are right though; this is jeopardising their biggest match of next year and no one wants to see Munoz/Silva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I am not that worried I can see Sonnen winning this handily. Â He is better at striking and maybe at wrestling as well. Plus Munoz is not as big a submission threat to trouble Sonnen. It may be boring and ugly, but I see Chael taking a clear cut points win. Â Okami lay down a good blueprint for Sonnen to beat Munoz, Sonnen being a student of the game will know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Considering the UFC are usually all about the big-money fights, I'm more than a little surprised we've seen this fight made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted November 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 I suppose technically, they haven't said that there'll only be one fight on the main show this time, or that that's the main event. But if it is, then it's a big risk - almost like they're dipping a toe in the water to see just how many viewers Chael Sonnen can draw by gobbing off.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 Turns out the Sonnen/Munoz fight isn't official yet after all. It was reported as a done deal by BloodyElbow t'other day and then later they said it's not been signed yet.  I suppose technically, they haven't said that there'll only be one fight on the main show this time, or that that's the main event. But if it is, then it's a big risk - almost like they're dipping a toe in the water to see just how many viewers Chael Sonnen can draw by gobbing off.  It's deffo not a one fight main show this time. Dana said last week that there will be 4 fights televised for this one.  The rumoured card so far is  Chael Sonnen vs Mark Munoz Diego Sanchez vs Jake Ellenberger Demetrious Johnson vs Eddie Wineland  but none of them are confirmed yet and there's been mixed reports about whether Sonnen/Munoz and Sanchez/Ellenberger are happening or not. If they do you'd expect both them fights televised. Not sure about Mighty Mouse/Wineland or what the main event would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 They will get somthing like Bonner vs Griffin 3 on top of that to headline. Â As much as Sonnen is a motor mouth and big personality, I cant see him and Munoz headlining on FOX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted November 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 Out of those, you'd imagine it'd be Sonnen/Munoz, being that it's a probable title eliminator. Actually, if they just out-and-out advertise it as that, it's a credible enough main event, ableit a big step down from a huge Heavyweight title fight. But then again, short of giving away another title fight free, what wouldn't be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2011 I actually wouldn't mind Griffin vs Bonnar 3 at this stage. Bonnar's in the best form and shape he's been in years.  I think Sonnen/Munoz is fine as main event though. If they had that and Sanchez/Ellenberger as co-main event that's 2 title eliminators on top.  Then whack on 2 crowd pleasing fights, something like  Renan Barao vs Scott Jorgensen (another possible contenders fight) and say Paul Taylor vs Jeremy Stephens or Sass vs Sotiropoulos or something  and you've got a sweet bunch of fights there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted December 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Paul Sass vs. Evan Dunham has been verbally confirmed for this event. This should be ace. See if Sass can pull off another sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Gonna be a massive step-up for Sass, but I agree it should be a cracking fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
