Cael Sonnen has brought on a Jiu Jitsu coach. Will it be enough?

I can't say I've heard much about Vinicius Magalhães. Anyone got any video on the dude? What are your thoughts on this? Will it be enough to ensure Sonnen's victory? I think so. Watching Sonnen's wrestling is insane! I think he has an odd style. The way he moves in top control kind of reminds me of Jiu Jitsu in a way. Obviously a different style of grappling but its one I can understand a lot better then Jiu Jitsu currently despite being a geek about it. xP

I'd love to hear your thoughts! And no, no luck meeting the dude yet. With the up coming fight and family stress it'd be unfair to bring it up. Been starting to train now that the weather is getting a bit better in Oregon. Hoping to meet some of the Eugene folks when I can. If your in Salem hit me up!

I've heard that guys name somewhere

I think that Vinny guy is pretty good"

Is this the 10th planet Vinny? Lol.. I smell trolling. Yep. Damn should have just thrown caution to the wind and searched. When I saw Vinny I was curious if it was the same guy but, lol. I deserved that. Should have checked my sources. You all can flame me xP

I have trained with Vinny and is great. He has won Abu dabi, was on the tuf show, fought in the UfC, holds the light hw belt it a few mma organizations and is the head bjj coach for extreme couture is game is sick

Yeah that guy Vinny. Name rings a bell. He might be really good.

Sorry Vinny! Should have known. To be fair they make no mention of 10th planet at all and I wasn't sure if Cael was down with 10th planet given that he is, supposedly, very straight edge. ((Hes never laid hands on booze)) That was a silly assumption on my part and Vinny's credentials speak for himself.

Which in hindsight kinda bugs me but I'm not surprised seeing as its graciemag.

I'm surprised anyone in JJ wants anything to do with Chael after all his trash talking.
Doesn't this kinda make him lose credibility?
I mean...what's left of it?
Saying bjj is crap, now he is training for it.


Of course for me, this gives him more credibility.
At least he can admit he is lacking on the ground through action. (though it'd still be better if he said it)

Vinny has the best jj in mma. Excellent choice.

Vinny is super legit. I trained with him. Big guy SUPER smooth jits n he submitted Drysdale before. Dude is a great choice. Plus hes very 10th planet friendly. Just won last years abudabi.

I dont' think it will be enough. After watching Chael's recent performance against Bisping, I don't think he'll fare well against Anderson. I think Chael/Spider 2 will look a lot like the Okami fight. But at the very least, Vinny should be able to teach Chael some solid triangle defense. But I don't think that will be enough.

Its not like Silva goes for a wide variety of submissions. So IF Chael can use the same game plan by taking Silva down for 25 mins then he might be able to keep himself out of submission danger. But if the rib injury is what really made it difficult for Silva to stop the takedowns, which I doubt is the case because Lutter took him down, then this might be a short night for Chael.

Wasnt Chael at 10thP Portland on one of the MTS a while back, talking to Eddie right?

Yeah, he was at the 10th planet portland seminar eddie did.

I hope Vinny can help Chael. I think its gonna be another great fight but i kinda want Silva to win. sorry guys.

Silva is gonna destroy Sonnen he looked terrible against Bisbing plus now Silva has alot of motivation to win in a big way I see it ending ugly for Chael

I hope Chael does steroids until his balls fall off and destroys Anderson!

He's been training BJJ for years. Don't believe his trolling. Hell, he was darce choking people way back in Bodog.

What if Chael put on a gi to train? That would be hilarious!

He looked terrible in one fight. Plus Bispings TD defense is about 100 times better than Silva's

True, but on the flip side, Silva hits a hell of a lot harder than Bisping and Chael admitted to being rocked in the first round.

Soon we'll see.

Also a very good point. I guess I am just hoping Chael doesnt get flatlined in the first minute. I will be very disappoint
