I understand that Sonnen is a better/different fighter than he was the first time he fought Silva. But I'm also looking at this from Silva's POV. No one expected him to get past Marquardt to fight Silva in the first place and probably neither did Silva. He probably underestimated Sonnen and didn't take the fight as seriously as he should have. He assumed Sonnen would be an easy win and he had nothing to worry about, otherwise he probably wouldn't even have risked fighting "injured".
Then lowandbehold....Sonnen surprises the world and almost picks apart the P4P greatest fighter in the world. Since then, he has bashed and craptalked Silva every chance he's had, Silva gets seriously pissed everytime someone even mentions Sonnen's name in his presence and I'm sure Silva's pride/ego won't allow history to repeat himself. Silva is going to try to prove to the world that Sonnen doesn't belong in the octagon with him. (That's not what I think, but I bet this is what Silva thinks), and he is gonna fight Sonnen with emotion and vengeance.
Like I said, I'll be routing for Sonnen to beat Silva, but I'm looking at this from a logical perspective.
