Quote:
According to his crystal ball, "Hendo" will dispose of "Bones" at UFC 151 on Sept. 1. Since Sonnen and Henderson are friends and training partners from way back when, that's probably not the kind of match-up either wrestler would be interested in.

That's fine with Sonnen.

He prefers to clean up the 205-pound mess "Dangerous Dan" leaves behind in "Sin City," according to his recent remarks in the NY Post.

Quote:
"A change is always nice. You do the same thing over and over, you’re always looking for change. 185 is the toughest weight class out there. We sent our champion (Silva) up to face their [former] champion, Forrest Griffin (in 2009). It lasted 93 seconds. There’s no debate to what the toughest weight class is. They used to have a karate guy (Lyoto Machida) that was champion at that weight. I don’t think there’s gonna be much left of [Jones] when Dan Henderson gets done with him. If there’s anything left of him, I’d be happy to play cleanup."

The UFC should give him a legit top LHW after he beats Forrest...

Love to see Sonnen fight Evans, Machida, or Jones...

I would have rather seen Sonnen fight someone like Lil Nog, than Forrest.

I think Griffin is a tougher fight then Lil Nog. Lots of hate for Griffin, but he's still a decent fighter. Griffin is a lot bigger then Sonnen, he probably bullies him around in the fight.

Forrest is still border line top ten in the LHW div.. Lil Nog, right under him. I know Forrest has been a flake lately but with his size I think he will give Sonnen a good fight.

Lets hope so...

Forrest is definetly bigger and stronger than Lil Nog. He has a good ground game, but not sure it is above Rogerio's... He has some sick sweeps and could really threaten to sub Chael...

He has also shown improved TDD in his fights with Davis and Bader.... Add that to his boxing, he would have a good chance at Sonnen.

Also someone like Rampage poses an even bigger challenge to Sonnen than either of them. He isnt going to sub Chael, but he has elite tdd when his wrestling is on point. He would severely overpower Chael and has the chance to end the fight at any moment with his power...

I guess Rampage is tied up at the moment... I wonder if the UFC could get Rampage to sign another contract... Then have him fight Sonnen. It would be a great fight and would sell well.

Hell, I thought Sonnen was foretelling of his near future in the custodial industry. Chael "The Janitor" Sonnen.

chael will not get close enough to the top of the 205 ladder to get the chance to be destroyed by bones
