Heres hoping!
Man i really like vinny a lot but your telling me that Sonnen a true white belt maybe blue can tap out Sliva a true Black belt ehh i dunn...Sonnen would be in deep water if he tries to get into a jiu jitsu Chess MAtch with Sliva stick to what works ground and pound
I think,Anderson Silva is working hard to prevent take downs from Chael.(he has been proven to be great strategist,as well as slick fighter) So, if Anderson is going to play striking game,and somehow be able to keep it going on feet;I don't see any chance for Chael to take the victory.It is going to be very different fight from the first one.I predict no more then two rounds,and Silva hand raised up.
joe rogan was impressed by chael's ground control, guard passes, and submission against brian stann. so i think that's a lot better than white or blue belt.
Chael is no white or blue belt. And that is a top-shelf blackbelt saying he could get the sub, so I believe Vinny. An Olympic-level Greco-Roman grappler working with Vinny is dangerous for anyone - even the champ. That said, anything can happen in a fight, even crane-kicks to the face for the KO...
Chael can definatly take Andy down. He can take anybody down. Can he pass his guard tho.? Can he survive on the feet?
Chael is definitely high level grappler and I would not compare him to any level of jiu-jitsu,for he is doing MMA.I also agree that Vinny knows what he is talking about, but my bet is still on Silva.
Don't let Chael's comments about BJJ fool you...the man does Jiu-Jitsu and is good at it. His top game is pretty powerful, and he has very good chokes, arm triangles, anacondas, darces, etc. If he can get on top of Anderson and at least get to half guard he has a shot of locking up some kind of head-and-arm for sure.Quote:

Well not including Chael this last time but hes the exception since his sub defense has sucked in the past. Lutter he caught with an upkick which he fell into a triangle. Henderson he knocked him silly then locked in in a RNC and all the way back through the rest of his career its been sub by strikes.Quote:
