sonnen make $100 dollars on this fight,sucks
Sonnen does not do well with Brazilian legs around his neck.
surprised by how easily sobral took him down.
Babalu was actually one of Chael’s idols, back in the day. I wonder if that had anything to do with how easily he was handled. Either way, Chael has improved tremendously. The ’05 Chael would’ve been eaten alive by Silva, and Brian Stann.
chaels gotta work on those triangle escapes. Still get him even now.
I noticed Chael seems to be content in staying in the full guard… sometimes he takes his opponent down and moves into full guard as opposed to trying to move to side control…
He was a can before he started taking roids.
This just shows how much better Chael is now. He wasn’t using his pressure style at all. Plus his style is not well suited for fighting up a weight class. He was outweighed 15 to 20 lbs.
Sonen’s a str8 up cheat!
Babalu was much heavier and much more experienced than Chael in that fight.
F*** chael. the guy cant fight, he loaded up on steroids just to be a man, but a fighter he will not be, only a cheater loser with one testicle, what a queer. id beat the crap out of him myself if i ever see him
lol riiiight homer.. Sure you would
Babaloooo
I dont know why he kept hanging around in his guard when he was obviously trying to set up a triangle. That what happened to fedor vs whats his face. Fedor i guess figured he could get out, but you are looking for trouble doing that with the bjj pro’s.
