    Lol, he always has something to say, sometimes he can't come close to backing it up, but his mouth has earned him a bunch more money than his talent alone would dictate. Tonight he won, but win or lose he's always fun.

    I wouldn't say he doesn't come close to backing it up... Jones is on another level so he was in deep shit from the get go there but he held his own against Silva twice (that second fight was pretty lame because he slipped into Silva's knee but he was taking Silva down before all that).

    The fact is the guy has a ton of talent. He is easily the best wrestler in MMA right now besides Jones and Jones is only better due to his size. Let's not forget he just submitted a Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt tonight as well.

    Perhaps I went too far, but his last battle is still fresh in my head.

    You really think he is the best wrestler in MMA? Even in his own weight class I think there is a debate to be had between chael, jones, rashad evens and maybe the best wrestler Phil Davis. Then you have other classes, I don't think "easily the best wrestler in MMA right now" is right either.

    Rashad Evans outwrestled Davis.

    I think a motivated rashad would destroy chael fwiw

    Sonnen is 5 years older than Rua and looked 10 years younger.

    For all his anti-roids rants, he sure seems to be benefiting from his TRT!
