There's some ground between good person and awful person.

They've finally said that Sonnen had abnormally elevated levels of testosterone (most likely due to steroids). He even mentioned using an illegal substance during the drug testing.

It looks like the winner of Belfort and Okami is next up for Silva.

I say lets take Barnett, Sherk, and Chael and let them juice up as much as possible and have a last man standing match.

I've got Sherk utilizing his T-Rex jab with a Twinkie at the end of his glove to keep Barnett at bay. As for Sonnen, I know he'll get subbed from the bottom.

Barnett is about to sub Chael from the bottom when Sherk hits them both with a steel chair and gets the win.

I got to go with roided Sonnen he almost broke the streak. Belfort/Silva is interesting but isnt Vitor a lil long in the tooth? Supposedly Vitor been training in Karate to improve timing and angles, it wouldnt be a shock to see some unorthodox striking KO Silva. Look at his only lost a "rolling heel hook," I would say that was pretty unorthodox.

Considering Sonnen floored Silva twice with punches, I think Belfort is extremely dangerous. Belfort vs. Silva might be the best technical striking battle ever.

Takase countered a sweep with a triangle and subbed him, for the record.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=267i7rKeECA Flying heel hook is what the announcer called it, I saw more as a rolling one, he could of went knee bar if Silva would have posted forward instead of dropping his base down.

I was pointing out he's lost by sub twice. To Chonan and to Takase.

Never knew about the Takase loss, is was by triangle? No wonder why he never engages BJJ players in the gaurd.
