Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva - Chime In!

In my honest opinion, this is a no-brainer. Silva posseses superior standup, is a more seasoned fighter and has already defeated fighters that Sonnen has lost to. Silva is simply to long and tall for Sonnen. Sonnen has heart and talks, but can he back it up.

I don't think he can. We all know that anybody can win at any time. All it takes is one little mistake, but Silva hasn't made that mistake yet. He's fought better fighters than Sonnen and done it with ease. He's even gotten bored and started show-boating to entertain himself. Which, I have to admit, does aggravate me a little.

I'm sorry to say, Sonnen doesn't get my vote. I expect that Sonnen will charge in, which will be a big mistake. Silva is going to look for his traditional laid back keep you back stance and Muy Thai style. He's gonna work his legs and fell out Sonnen. If Sonnen charges like a bull, he's gonna hit a brick wall of knees and dirty boxing.

What are your thoughts? Break it down...
