Now the two men are set to meet again. And this time, Sonnen will walk away with the world championship. I've got 10 reasons Chael will be the next UFC middleweight champion. In the UFC's year history, exactly half of their 46 world champions have come from a wrestling background or made wrestling the focal point of their attack.
The odds are in Sonnen's favor, although the middleweight class is the one weight class devoid of a wrestling kingpin. Wrestlers dictate where the fight will take place. And no one in the sport does it better than Chael Sonnen. Can you imagine what it must be like to be Anderson Silva? Chael Sonnen has been yapping in his ear for years now. The trash talk is designed to take Silva off his game. If he's angry, or worried about avenging Chael's increasingly inflammatory talk, he's not concentrating on winning.
Although they've mostly gone their separate ways, Chael grew up in the sport with a who's who of UFC and wrestling talent. Olympic silver medalist Matt Lindland was his mentor. He watched and trained with legends like Randy Couture and Dan Henderson daily. Oregon's Team Quest will go down as one of the all-time great fight teams. A Chael title run will simply add to their legacy. Sonnen's head coach, Scott McQuary, tells Bleacher Report that Chael will soon be making the most of his advantageous positions on the ground:.
We have a number of things in the bag that we haven't even let out yet. The Brian Stann fight, we were so glad he got that submission we'd been working on. I looked at the positions he was most frequently in. A lot of times he was trying to ground-and-pound people with fairly good success. But I told him, 'We can make this a lot easier. Let's work for a submission. I treated him like an amateur the first time and he's going to look like an amateur this time. Not to be outdone by his newly verbose rival, Sonnen waxed poetic about the facts of these fisticuffs to help emphasize the imperative that fight fans absolutely need to tune in on July 7th and watch these two in caged combat.
I'm trying to hurt this guy and he's trying to do damage to me. The stakes are much greater. This is the biggest sporting event of the summer and for a reason. We've been talking about something for two years. Waiting for two guys to finally settle their business.
There is no sport, there is no fight in the history of combat or in all of that has much weight and as much emotion, not just from the fans and the media, but from the athletes participating as this one. The stakes are completely different. I'm not playing around. He thinks it's funny to say he's going to break my face. Before Sonnen meets Silva, another rematch of great importance will transpire to not only settle an entertaining trilogy between fan favorites, but to cap off an unparalleled UFC career.
