    At the NYE show.

    Sonnen wants to make a 205 title run. Goes through Griffin first.

    Sonnen was offered Wanderlei Silva (@ 185) but passed, citing Silva's lack of success (2 wins in 9 fights).

    I like this fight. I think Sonnen will win via relentless takedowns. Should be a barn burner though as both guys don't stop moving.

    Dislike, should be a easy win for Sonnen. I want to see Sonnen vs. Rampage, too bad Texiera will be Rampage last UFC bout it seems.

    Last time they fought was in 2003. Will be interesting to see how each fighter has evolved since.
