	So torn on who I want to win. I think once the fight starts I'll inevitably get behind Chael as the underdog again in disbelief at him having a chance, but if Silva pulls something spectacular off I'll be wowed into support again. ------------------- THE INTANGIBALLS

	This is basically for anyone who still takes Chael's trash talking seriously: quote Jaffers Then in a few weeks we have Faber/Renan which should be a great fight. Good times for the UFC. I would have happily made the short 1.5hr flight for the original 149 card, really disappointed that every main card fight got canned because of injury. Aldo vs Koch Shogun vs Thiago Silva Big Nog vs Kongo Akiyama vs Alves That was stacked for a non-GSP Canadian event. ------------------- train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day

	Crazy the amount of people picking Silva via early KO, Chael hasn't been knocked clean out in his career. A knockdown and a sub is a lot more likely...either way it'll take a lot to stop him coming forward. ------------------- THE INTANGIBALLS

	Hope Anderson doesn't have a adrenaline dump on the way to the octagon tomorrow. The amount if anger he has built up is unreal, I reckon this is exactly what Chael wanted. Picks for the card are Anderson, Cote, Ortiz, Kim, Menjivar and Mendes. ------------------- Credit Pompey Fan

	If he's emotional, it could cost him. Could just be a brilliant mind game of his own, to make Sonnen think he's going to come out and not be his usual stealthy self. Wonder of Chael worked on his punching power, how you gonna hit a guy over 300 times and not finish him... ------------------- Someone Should Tell Them I'm Not Listenin' Don't Waste Your Own Time And Effort just Stop Bitchin'

	Sherdog's pros pick pretty decisively favouring Chael...crazy. Both men know how they need to change...takedown defence and sub defence, but they've been flaws they've always had, especially Sonnen with BJJ. I'm picking Silva just because Chael pretty much needs to last 25 minutes to win it, so there's more chances for it to go wrong, but who knows...Silva's age has to catch up with him eventually. Not that it looks like it has the shape he's in. ------------------- THE INTANGIBALLS

	I think there's two theories as to why a lot think Chael will win: 1) People assuming neither will have changed their game at all in two years, and are expecting the exact same fight - Just with Chael not being caught late. 2) Silva being too emotional, and it costing him big. I dunno I'm torn, I want Silva to win because of the stuff Chael said about him. But when you do take away all the trash talk from Chael, he's a guy living a simple life and trains so hard to be the best. Then again Silva is my favourite fighter, so that kinda has put a bias on my predictions in the build up. Honestly I think it is too hard to pick because there are so many factors; will Silva be too emotional, will that turn out to actually be Chael's undoing (poking a lion with a stick so to speak), was the injury last time a factor in how the fight went, has Silva improved TD defence, has Chael finally gotten better at defending subs. I'm just hoping for a fight that halfway matches the hype, have not been this excited for a fight before, it should be great. ------------------- Someone Should Tell Them I'm Not Listenin' Don't Waste Your Own Time And Effort just Stop Bitchin'

	Sonnen's been working with Vinny Magalhaes (beat bleeping Werdum in ADCC finals last year), should be interesting to see what kind of improvements he has made to sub defense in a short amount of time. Chael actually had good defense for most of the first fight. Silva tried that same triangle/armbar a few times throughout the fight and Chael defended the right ways. I'm picking Silva as well. I think he'll rock Sonnen this time and finish with a RNC. I would be really surprised if Sonnen was knocked out clean. Dude's got a tough and underrated chin. ------------------- train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day

	Sonnen's only gonna get cleanly ko'd if he's caught with a kick or knee. My prediction is Silva by TKO, expect the thing we see most from him knock the guy down, let him get back up and knock him down again then swarm. Tbh I think that's such an underated think that he does, he takes his time with finishing the fight and doesn't dive straight into it. Unless Chael has really worked his power I can't see him finishing the fight, unless he somehow manages to sub Silva. So pretty much if it goes 5 rounds, then Chael wins for me, anything else and Silva takes it. ------------------- Someone Should Tell Them I'm Not Listenin' Don't Waste Your Own Time And Effort just Stop Bitchin'
