Don't cry ScardyFox. There will always be next time, like when Wandi removes his head from his shoulders

Amirite Chief?

Haha! Sonnen won't stand and bang with Wandi, that's for sure.

[Kimarhi]

He stood and banged with Silva.

[DoomRulz]

I think Wandi hits harder than Silva, but isn't as accurate with his strikes. Wandi will come at you guns blazing so Sonnen would be an idiot to stand with him. He can't handle a full barrage of strikes.

[Kimarhi]

I actually think Sonnen landed a lucky blow against Silva early in the fight and it stunned Silva enough he never recovered.  The second fight Silva looked much more crisp.

I agree with the Wanderlai comments, I was just putting it out there. 

[DoomRulz]

In the first round yeah. He was able to use his jab effectively enough to get Silva to back peddle and shoot in for his takedowns. I honestly think Sonnen would've done better in the 2nd fight had he not been stunned prior to throwing the failed spinning back elbow.

[Kimarhi]

From what I remember in the first fight, I believe it was a straight right to the jaw that seemed to stun Silva.  It was one of those Joe Rogan, "Oh he hurt him!" moments.

I remember being stunned that Sonnen actually landed a straight right telegraphed as all get out to Silva's jaw without being deflected, dodged in some way.

[DoomRulz]

Silva didn't respect Sonnen's striking at all in the first fight and was probably more concerned about being taken down, hence why his hands were low for the better part of that 1st round. But of course, Silva apologists would have you believe it was due to his bruised rib.

Nobody is allowed to say Sonnen for another week due to morning reasons!

Leonard Garcia being cut proves that an exciting fighting style won't save you anymore. Unless of course, your name happens to be Wanderlei Silva.

Yeah but Wandi was a champ...Leonard has never been anything except a punching bag...
