UFC Simulated Title Fight: Sonnen vs. Silva II

[Jadakiss88]

Sonnen dominated Silva for 22 minutes and LOST that's a huge HUGE issue when a sports biggest draw is how fast someone can be knocked out. Please if you haven't seen the fight go back and watch the fight. It is rare for someone to drop over 250 more punches and only take 65 and still win but it happened at going into this fight if Sonnen can't finish Silva, Sonnen will not win...

Okami, Sonnen the first time time, Maia, Leites, are all grapplers first. Even Forrest is a better grappler than striker, he just decides to strike.

Don't forget Travis Lutter is the "Michael Jordan of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu" and Anderson subbed him. Haha...good ole Rogan.

I think in the first fight, to his credit, Sonnen rocked Silva early on and took advantage of that with relentless ground and pound. I see Silva coming in more focused this time and really utilizing his stand-up advantage. If he can get Sonnen frustrated and/or hurt, those takedown attempts will become predictable and eventually I think he'll catch him with a knee or a choke. Super excited to see this guy mad, should be quite a show either way.

Sonnen always had poor sub defense.......Damn near all his loses came from submissions. Hell even Forrest Griffin of all people submitted him back in 2003. Hell even Terry Martin of all people beat his butt. And Jeremy Horn beat him 3 times.

Forrest has a great ground game. He just decides to not use it 99% of the time. Terry Martin broke his ribs I believe in that fight, and Jeremy Horn has always had a great sub game too.
He does have like 5 losses via triangle which is awful though.
