Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva in Brazil?

After my rant on my youtube, I've been asked numerous times - "Why do you hate Chael so much?!"

Simple answer is: I DON'T... I hate to lose money and even more I get frustrated when I expect something and I get the opposite.

Yes, my rant on Chael was a bit nasty but as far as I'm concerned I was upset my bankroll lost that night and I wanted to vent.  The only person I felt I could do that on was Chael Sonnen - and it was fun.

NOW LET'S MOVE ON... to his next match.

Chael Sonnen will challenge Anderson Silva to a rematch the mma (UFC) community has been waiting for since 2010.  I have been waiting for this moment since I took Sonnen to win the first time and lost my bet in the last minute of the 5th round to him tapping out from a successful armbar.  GRRR... but how can one complain then when that fight has got to be one of the best performances vs Silva around?  At least it went to the 5th round! Which I am hoping will happen again.

Looking at the circumstances behind this rematch - I think it's completely bullshit unfair that Dana White is setting up this bout to be in Silva's hometown of Brazil.  Chael Sonnen needs to step up here and open that loud mouth of his and rain heck down Dana's ears.  For as far as he believes, Sonnen is the true champ and therefore this match should be done in his home state of Oregon.

Come on Dana! I realize that Silva is one of your top money makers, but you're basically setting up Chael Sonnen for failure.  To place him in a crowd filled with Anderson Silva fans, I can't see anything good coming out of this.  As far as I'm concerned: Chael Sonnen is the middleweight's best chance unseating the current reigning champ Anderson Silva.

Chael Sonnen has shown that he is capable to taking down one of the most feared guys in mma.  Anderson Silva's diverse standup and (rarely seen) ground game was no threat to Sonnen back in 2010.      Even after 5 rounds of giving Silva a beat down, Sonnen got caught with the armbar.  This time around, I don't think Sonnen will let his guard down.  I doubt that he'll let Silva pull off another miracle win.

With Silva being the counter-attacker that he is, I see this bout being a mirror image of the last one.  Except that this time, I'm sure Sonnen won't let the belt slip away.

"Sonnen, put some power behind those grenade fists of yours and blast that Spider away!"

PICK: Chael SONNEN @ +215 ;  as the line moves I'd take Sonnen at min +215 but I'm sure it will deepen as the fight approaches.
