This has been by far the worst year i’ve ever had picking fights and Sonnen is my last hope. I’ve gone from surprise to shock to utter dissapointment with some of the UFC ME’s. Alot of guys have basically not shown up or have shown up with the worst gameplans in the history of mma. To me if Sonnen shows up to kickbox Anderson instead of wrestle him, I might have to give up the sport for a while. Either way i’m cautiously optimistic about UFC 148, because I haven’t been this excited for a ME since Liddell vs. Couture 3.
