^ Yea he did say he was going to take this fight to the ground or he would be in trouble, in addition he said it would be a pounding all five rounds. He did what he said, shame he never got the win from my point of view.

First off, I've been saying since the fight that Chael deserves to be at the back of the line. Regardless of how he performed in the first 4 rounds, he lost. To loosely quote Frank Mir, He tapped out....he gave up....he said "I can't take it any more". And the fact that he tapped to a submission that has ALWAYS been a weakness for him.
If you are a ground and pounder or a wrestler by nature in MMA, and your goal is to "take the other guy down and pound a hole through him", you should probably know how to defend ground submissions. His debut fight in the UFC saw him be agressive in the ground, only to get caught in the same submission.
Chael can talk all the trash he wants, but it will be HIM that is haunted by that fight, not Silva. At the end of the day, Chael couldn't get it done. He lost, didn't fullfil his claims of being the champ, and that's that.

I'm not sure how Anderson is a prick just because he can or can't speak english.
However over the years I do feel he has been very disrespectful towards a lot of the fighters he has faced but I was on the fence until the maia fight.
I have always enjoyed watching him fight but after how he acted during the Maia fight I don't like him as a person.
As for Sonnen he's just talking to keep himsel;f in the media & as we're discussing him yet again it clearly worked!
I don't think he deserves a rematch because he tapped.
I do think he deserves a rematch because he has given Anderson his toughest match to date in the UFC & untyil the start of the 5th round I though he was going to be the new champ.
Beyond the talk of GSP stepping up or Anderson jumping to LHW who else is therea part from Sonnen?

Okami.
If Sonnen gets a title fight before Okami thats just bullsh**. I kinda want to see Shields win against GSP JUST to see if Dana White follows through with his promise that Okami will get the next title shot if GSP were to lose his next fight.
I don't think Okami will win...but its lame that the guy has only lost two times in the UFC (both times by decision) and he has yet to get a title fight.
