    Are you serious? Chael would have to get him to the ground. I don't see that happening. Chael would get ko'd in the first. Wouldn't even be competitive.

    Is Machida a great striker? Sure.

    Has a great striker ever knocked out Sonnen? Nope.

    It's about time someone stepped up and called out Chael. Then he disregards it. Crazy bastard.

    No way! Chael would do the same thing he did to Anderson, to Machida. Minus the triangle choke.

    I looked through Sonnen's record and noticed something; the last elite striker that he faced was an injured Anderson Silva. Prior to that, no one he's faced has been a high caliber striker. So no, a great striker hasn't knocked him out because he hasn't faced one.

    Machida, on the other hand, has faced strong grapplers. Bigger boys than Sonnen. And have any of them put him on his back and controlled him?

    So let's compare: Sonnen gotten tagged more times than Machida's been taken down and controlled. I'd say the fight favors Machida.

    That's why they have to actually fight the fights. What the hell do we know. But I could talk about it all day. I love this sport!

    Exactly! Same here bro. Don't mind me if I get too opinionated. I just love debating MMA. This fight may not ever happen, but I hope it does.
