Must say that Bisping has handled this with class to be fair. He fought a LOT better than I thought he would against Sonnen, who is a genuinely tough match up for him.

But if Sonnen struggled against Bisping, is he likely to struggle against Silva 2nd time round???

Yeah when it is all said and done Chael seems to be a good guy and does all the stuff for show.

I don't think Silva has half the TDD Bisping displayed tonight.

Anderson would get taken down by a gentle summer's breeze.

Anderson posses different things that Chael has to worry about. But what Bisping did good in this fight isnt something Anderson can do better. So this fight is no indication of how Silva vs Chael 2 will go. Its likely that Sonnen will be taking Anderson down alot easier then he did Bisping. And will keep him down alot easier. But on the feet he will have to worry more and will have to worry about the triangle.

Anderson had a rib injury going into the first Chael fight and the second fight in Brazil will have Sonnen getting his ass kicked by Silva. It won't be pretty but Anderson will KO Chael in the 1st or 2nd round easily.

Chael will talk this fight up to no end but Anderson will make it laughable in the end.

Ironically enough, Chael cracked those ribs. I always get a kick out of the excuse... Anderson was hurt!

Yes... because Chael hurt him. And it's going to happen again.

And then, Choke him out again.
No one seems to remember that Chael tapped and lost. I still don't get that.
If he really wanted the belt, he shouldn't have tapped and it would have been his. Instead he carries a Fisher Price version of the belt.
Kids and fans of the WWE might find it amusing and funny. To me, it's completely pathetic.

I was thinking and wanting Chael to win but after the fight was over I was pretty sure Bisping won the fight 29-28. I don't care for Bisping much but he did good and I think he shoulda got the victory. Good fight anyways

You edited your first post - either way I look forward their next fight and what will happen.

That would be because you have sense of humour cancer. Lighten up, Francis. Also, perhaps you'd like to get off of your high horse with the pro-wrestling shots. I don't follow the WWE myself, but you're certainly no better than any of those fans, and nor am I. We're not somehow elitist by virtue of the programs we do and do not follow.

I am fully aware that Anderson tapped Sonnen. And while I have no doubts that Chael will continue to take him down with ease in their second bout, I am more than wary of that triangle. Only a fool would claim Anderson won't be a serious threat off his back.

What I will say is that Anderson isn't going to 'knock Sonnen out in three seconds'.
