Chael Sonnen Meets Michael Bisping At UFC On Fox 2 With Mark Munoz Injured

Huge news coming out of the Twitter of UFC president Dana White. Mark Munoz was set to face Chael Sonnen on the upcoming UFC on Fox 2 card while Michael Bisping was to meet Demian Maia, but an injury to Munoz has Sonnen moved into a fight with Bisping. Dana also said that the winner will get a title shot against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Here's the tweet:

Munoz is injured and out of the FOX fight! Now it's Chael Sonnen vs Mike Bisping jan 28th and the winner will fight Anderson for the title.
Jan 17 via Twitter for iPhoneFavoriteRetweetReply

Obviously Sonnen has the wrestling edge but Bisping is notoriously hard to control on the ground and do damage to from ground and pound. While Chael will deservedly be the betting favorite but I think Bisping is much more of a live dog here than many will be willing to accept.

Regardless, Bisping vs. Sonnen is a much "bigger" fight in terms of casual interest than anything involving Demian Maia or Mark Munoz. This is actually a bit of a "win" for the promotion in my eyes.

This was my first thought. Take a look at the Rankings and him and Stann are pretty much the only respectable fighters that would make a good fight.

And thought Android was referring to Palhares and Maia being over quick, and not Vitor. So I will agree that Belfort would make quick work of Maia.

I think that’s a bad fight. Maia doesn’t have the standup. Why let him get obliterated? He needs to build up some momentum and Vitor needs to fight one more tough guy before his next title shot. I predict Vitor vs Munoz for next title shot after Sonnen vs Bisping winner gets his.

Outside of Hendo

(whose power Chael won’t recreate in all the punches he throws from now until the end of his life) who has really trucked Bisping?

I think Chael will probably do enough to win, but I’m not expecting any truckings.

Not sure

why people are acting like this an easy fight for Chael. I know Bisping isn’t particularly spectacular at any one thing, but it’s not like Sonnen’s sub defense went from mediocre to competent with a win over Stann. Just because he reinvented his image doesn’t mean he’s reinvented his game.

Probably because isping is waaaaaaaaaaay more disliked than Chael.

You cant blame him for the Maia sub. Maia executed that whole sequence flawlessly. The sub to AS was just a mental lapse that he’s been working on. Chael’s sub and sub defense skills are plenty good enough for Bisping at this point in his career.

Horn only submitted him twice, but yes, the same Jeremy Horn with 60 sub wins. People discredit his sub defense, but the majority of his submission losses are very high level MMA grapplers. People claim he has shoddy sub defense while quoting losses to Silva, Filho, Sobral, Horn, and Maia.

So being vague lets you deny later?

What does “gaming the unified rules” mean to you? Sonnen doesn’t do things like intentionally keeping one hand on the ground to avoid being kneed. Obviously you’re talking about exploiting overvalued takedowns and top control to win rounds. But I’ve seen Sonnen’s last five or so decisions and he earned them all regardless of that.

So being vague lets you deny later?

What does "gaming the unified rules" mean to you?

Obviously you’re talking about exploiting overvalued takedowns and top control to win rounds.

How was I being vague, if it turns out you knew exactly what I meant? Do you read what you write before you post?

But I’ve seen Sonnen’s last five or so decisions and he earned them all regardless of that.

I never said otherwise. I never said any of the other guys deserved the win in those fights under the current scoring criteria. So you can stop talking about it, unless the voices in your head compel you to.

I just think that if the URs were clarified or reemphasized away from control to damage, guys like Sonnen wouldn’t fight the way they do today. I don’t like wrestlers who come in planning to pin their opponents (either to the floor or the cage) as their path to victory. I LOVE wrestlers who come in to try to end the fight.

But holding that opinion obvsiously makes me a fanatic, and not worth discussing MMA with… Which is why you’ve spent so much time rebutting the voices in your head instead of what I’ve written.

My entire point is that Sonnen won his last five decisions based on damage based scoring too (please watch the fights?), so I don’t think the unified rules are responsible for his style, Einstein.

I’m of the opinion that damage based scoring/reffing would have led to more standups in Chaels fights, and possibly points deducted for stalling (and regardless of your opinion, I think Chael stalls). You realize a change in the rules would force fighters to adjust their gameplans, right?

I posted my opinion on “grinding” as a “fighting” style. If you can’t stand that that is what I think… maybe you shouldn’t get so wound up about my opinion to the point you find yourself arguing over points I never made.

But he wasn’t submitted by Joe Schmoe and Billy Bob Williams out at Wild Bill’s Fight Night. I was simply saying that most of the men that submitted him were high level black belts, far above Bisping’s level. If you want to tell me that Bisping has better submission abilities than any of those Brazilians, then please explain your logic. Also concerning the Forrest and Prangley submissions, I wouldn’t doubt that he has improved his submission defense in the nine years since those bouts.

Good TDD, good scramble, better technical boxing. If Bisping can frustrate a good percentage of takedowns, get back up quick, and pepper Chael with strikes, he could conceivably UD the UD master. It’s not like either of them are great finishers.

I’ll pick Chael to win all day, but I won’t be stunned if Bisping finds a way. He’s pretty good at this MMA business.

What does Bisping have for Sonnen? He’s got much better boxing than Chael and has one of the best boxers in MW. But that’s about it. He’s a notoriously slow-starter and Chael is more than capable of grinding him out in three rounds.

Bisping has a solid ground game, is good off his back, good at creating scrambles. Once he gets his timing and rhythm he’s great at sticking a fighter at the end of his jab and out pointing him.

I get that people don’t like Bisping, but he’s not some scrub being led to the slaughter. I’m picking Sonnen to win, but he lets people he has beat back into fights, and it can cost him.

Bisping has good takedown defense

Not great takedown defense. He’s currently sitting at 64% on FightMetric, which puts him in the same range as Demian Maia and Nick Diaz. He’s been taken down by such wrestling luminaries as Wanderlei Silva, Dan Miller, and Chris Leben, not to mention the schoolings he received from Hamill and Rashad (6 each). He’s good, but he’s a long way from Jose Aldo territory.

Yeah I get that, I just.. I guess I don’t hate Bisping quite as much as most folks, so when I see all the hate he gets I sometimes revert to defending him! Just to balance things out a little.

Well, hmm.. it has definitely happened a couple of times, when people got injured and the new match-up became a better one. At the top of my head, what I can come to think about right now is the whole Diaz / Condit / Penn / GSP switcharoo a few months ago had some good and bad turns. We got to see Diaz vs Penn which was fucking epic, and now soon we get to see Condit vs Diaz which is a dream match-up too. All those guys are ultra-violent fan favorites, so matching them up with each other pleases many. Still sucks that GSP is injured of course, but at least there are some cool fights in the mean time!

Oh and people were really looking forward to Condit vs Penn too I guess, that didn’t happen.

Very true

Like you pointed out, I think the key is his scrambling, more than his TDD per se. Submitting Sonnen from his back is a pipe dream; Sonnen rightfully gets flak for his sub defense, but the guys who’ve managed to submit him are all extremely technical, high-level black belts, and Bisping doesn’t fall into that category.

Yeah, exactly, even if he gets taken down he’s a tricky bugger to keep on the floor for long. I don’t see him posing any submission threats either. His only chance will be his usually tactic of sprawl and brawl – ie prancing around the cage throwing pitter patter punches and keeping his opponent at distance. If he gets taken down, he need to focus on getting up, up, up.

It's not only TDD though

Also, how fast he scrambles back up. I guess many of the TD that are scored against Bisping in those stats had him on his back for all of twenty seconds. These numbers alone do not tell the whole story.

He can of course, but more than likely Vitor would starch him and on the feet against Rousimar they’d be fairly even. I’d probably give the advantage on the feet to Rousimar due to his power advantage and on the ground I assume that they’d be even, but even there I’d give Rousimar a slight advantage due to his strength.

Good fight.

I wish there was more time to isten to the trash talk and the hype up of the fight, but oh well. I think it should be a pretty close fight with bisping landing his shots on the feet and chael landing his shots from bispings guard. Anyone thinking this will be a one sided bisping beat down doesn’t remember chaels love for being choked by shapes and bisping has an above average bjj game. my prediction; a long boring decision for chael in which he lays on bisping with an ear on his chest and swinging arm punches over his head. Anything more gets chael subbed and any less gets him dropped and tkod on the feet.

I'll just get the quote in here anyway
Demian Maia is without an opponent following today’s shakeup on the UFC on FOX 2 card.

With top-tier opponents in short supply, many observers pointed to Rousimar Palhares (14-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) as a potential opponent for Maia.

But Palhares is “not a viable opponent,” manager Alex Davis told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

That’s not to say that the middleweight, who took just 63 seconds to submit Mike Massenzio at this past Saturday’s UFC 142, doesn’t want the fight. But according to Davis, Palhares’ passport is expired.

And not only is Palhares grounded, but the rigorous schedule of the past year has taken its toll.

“He’s been training straight since the last UFC Brazil,” Davis said. “Then he went to Abu Dhabi and then trained for UFC 142, so it would be a little too much.”

he's a purple belt under Matt Serra, and he actually competed in the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship's

so it’s not like he’s some BJJ newbie. Plus his wrestling is great so he decides where the fight takes place, it could be another Maia vs Munoz.

by darkotto23 on Jan 17, 2012 8:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Agree that striking match could be random, looking at the fight metric report http://www.mmamania.com/2011/6/12/2219798/ufc-131-results-demian-maia-vs-mark-munoz-fight-metric-report-shows shows just a weird result of maia having lots of powerful headshots, which might mean u question his power, but taking lots of body shots.
But maia did WIN the ADCC not long ago. Submitting someone with a d’arce choke in a clever manner does look good but completely different level of opponent. He hasn’t had a ground n pound victory in the way of successful wrestling mmaers, I haven’t seen him enough to form a solid opinion but does that say something?

Chris Weidman is one of those wrestlers who has adapted to the sub game extremely well

I think he’ll also be physically stronger than Maia, so I think he’s a live dog.

At the same time I think Weidman is the future middleweight champion.

In what way, shape, and form

Is Sonnen v Munoz any better than Sonnen v Bisping? Aside from saying the words its much better, how exactly?

Sonnen v Bisping is better without even having to breakdown the danged fight. The simple fact that Bisping is going to get TRT’d across the entire pond is enough to nab 1 million ppv’s. Fuck I’ve got wood just thinking about the wood im gonna get for this!

Sorry

I like watching competitive fights. Munoz has a chance to defend the takedown and take Sonnen out of his gameplan. Bisping doesnt have the power to KO Sonnen (if anyone does), nor the ground chops to submit Sonnen. He wont defend most takedowns, and if he is able to get back up (which is possible due to his scrambling ability), Sonnen is competant at striking.

Munoz has wrestling to defend Sonnen or even go for a takedown himself, and the power to give him the edge in the standup.

Disagree. Nobody cares about Munoz, so that’s that. Everyone loves to hate both Chael and Bisping… so pitting them against each other is brilliant marketing. Almost everyone has been saying “I hate Chael, but I hate Bisping even more, so WAR Chael!”. This fight will create a lot of fans for Chael. Or people will hate him even more. Which will make Silva/Chael II an even bigger fight. And as of Maia/Weidman, it’s a more interesting fight and it’ll finally prove that Maia is overrated and never deserved to fight for the title in the first place. Oh, and Weidman is awesome. He easily could be the MW champ to take over Anderson Silva’s reign when he retires.

by Shnak on Jan 18, 2012 12:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Nothing that you said has to do with the actual fight. The prefight back and forth should be great, much better then against Munoz. But Munoz has tools to make it an interesting fight. Bisping (who I like) doesnt have anything Chael cant handle.

To get another title shot, he gets to face back to back fighters not known for their ground game in a state outside of the one where he gets busted for juice. He deserves it; I hope he wins.

Can’t believe I’m the only one not excited for this fight. Bisping manages to fuck up nearly everyone’s game plans by being such a fucking spazz, and Sonnen lacks KO power, so I see a very intense cardio game of running around the ring and throwing a lot of fakes.

Wake me up for the Main Event.

by RobtWeaver on Jan 18, 2012 10:23 AM EST reply actions  

Sonnen could catch a knee or dive into one going for a takedown. He's one dimensional, his luck can't last.

I realise he’s very good at what he does but I can’t see it ALWAYS working. Sure the whole triangle weakness is well known. I’m just surprised people see him as a lock for every fight since facing Anderson. I think perhaps fans WANT to see him as the clear winner because they can’t get enough of his smack talk.

by UncleMax on Jan 18, 2012 10:36 AM EST reply actions  

Your really underrating Sonnen

He is a capable kickboxer, he outstruck Okami whenever he wasnt diving for the takedown.
