Sonnen vs Bisping! Munoz out with injury.

[mattboxingfan]

The winner gets Anderson! Just read it from Dana White himself on twitter. I love both guys but Chael is getting the rematch and taking his belt back! Lats go to war!!! Thoughts on this new matchup?

[mattboxingfan]

I find this a very interesting matchup. I look forward to seeing if Bisping can stop any t/d and how he works off his back. I win either way because I'd love to see both these guys fight and I'd love to see either of them with the strap. But I do see Chael getting the win here. Really excited for this one though!

Oh fucking awesome. Chael is my favourite UFC fighter along with Frank Mir and I was a bit worried about him going in with Munoz.

I can't wait to see him stick Bisping on his ass though. I hope he pounds and humiliates Michael Bisping, he's a total douche and I can@t wait to see him beaten down.

I know Bisping has been on a good run but he's only fought nobodies. He's so far out of his depth here, he's going to get smashed.

The only guy I'd have enjoyed Sonnen pounding on more would have been Wanderlei Silva. Hell thinking about it, maybe Bisping is even better than that.

That doesn't even deserve a response.

Bisping is a good guy and a good fighter. He puts away the guy's that are put in front of him and he does it well. The UFC pick his opponents he just signes the dotted line.

[Kev]

You don't rate him?

Just the way he wrecked Chris Leben had me concerned. I know he's beaten Sonnen every time they have faced each other before as well.

Just read this on Yahoo and was about to post a thread about it but was beat to the punch by mattboxingfan.

This is good news for Sonnen fans/Bisping haters.

I see it as a total mismatch.

Bisping is sorely lacking in the skills to prevent the takedown from Chael.

Sonnen is going to dominate him.

Brian Stann was a good deal better fighter than Bisping and Sonnen ran right over him.

[Kev]

I agree, Bisping is going to get raped and I can't fucking wait!

Have you ever watched any of Sonnen's full interviews or his Q and A sessions?

The guy is hilarious.

This video is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The first 6 minutes are boring and straight, but from about the 6 minute mark once he starts talking about Wanderlei Silva it's comedy gold.

His claims he saw the Nog brothers trying to feed a carrot to a bus is fucking hilarious.

Well the Bisping crowd is getting the top contender they wanted. Mike will come in well prepared but I just don't see him dictating where this fight happens and ultimately will lose a wide UD or get pounded out/submitted late.

Bisping has a good ground game and better t/d defence than Stann. Lets be honest the only reason Stann come onto the scene and was hyped up is because he was a marine.

He did not wreck Chris Leben! That was a close fight back and forth at the start and I pretty sure Leben even got a t/d on him which amazed me. They have never faced eachother in an mma fight just a wrestling match which i believe was only the once. Nothing to worry about.

Chael Sonnen-

Do you think Bisping has earned the right to fight for a title shot?
I'm a Bisping supporter. I think he has. I think he's fought a lot of important matches.
I don't know how tough the guys he fought were, how many ranked guys he had -- I'm not terribly familiar with his record. But at the end of the day, you can say what you want about his opponents, he doesn't pick his opponents. They pick his opponents and he goes in and he wins over and over again.
I think it's really relevant, especially for the Bisping naysayers, to realize he's fighting main-event fights. He's carrying cards. He's selling out arenas. In this industry, that's huge. He's done his part.
So I'm not on the anti-Bisping bandwagon. I never have been.

Even he is a Bisping fan!

I thought Munoz did a number on Chris Leben, but not like Brian Stann did.

Anyway remember when Bisping fought Leben ? That was a rather dubious decision. Not as bad as when Bisping fought Hamill though.

Bisping is a good boxer, just sometimes he runs too much.

You obviously didn't watch Bisping fight Leben. That was a clear cut win for Bisping. Leben couldn't do land anything all night.
