Re: Chael F'n Sonnen

in career mode their is one fight, your 4-5 ufc fight, that you shouldn't be able to win and that is made on purpose. The difficulty is bumbed up even above expert and it is solely to lenghten career mode. otherwise you would get through the division in 6-7 fights and would be titleholder in 8 fights. This is done on purpose and their is nearly no way you will win this fight. I usually own expert in every mode and solely played career at beginner for building a good career caf to copy him over and I lost this specific fight like I have never lost a fight before.
It is there and you should just ignore it as you will not suffer that bad from it as it is coded in.

This is clearly incorrect as I'm running through it on expert difficulty after making my super caf to make menu cafs. I'm currently 28-0 and going for the undefeated trophy. Most if not all, were finished in the first round by full mount KO or TKO.

It's easier to build a Super CAF on Expert. You get WAY more sparring points, so it takes far less time.

Re: Chael F'n Sonnen

It makes it difficult in career mode when you are only a 30ovr after 8 fights and are fighting top 5 fighters in the division, unless you are playing the game on beginner then i could see doing reversals and all that, but when you are playing on expert the CPU AI for that one #1 contender fight is fixed to where it is almost somewhat impossible, anyone who says its not then I have to disagree as i've seen this happen in almost every weight class ive fought in. Im not saying every fight has this problem, just the ONE fight you have to fight in before the title shot....IDK but UFC needs to drop THQ.

Maybe you being a 30 rated fighter is the problem? That would be like me (no training) fighting Chael. WTF you think is gonna happen, lol.

Try not turning pro so quick and taking easier fights. Don't worry about the CRED, you'll get all you need when you get the belt.

"Lil’ Nog…..I read your appraisal of the upcoming fight betwixt your pal Anderson and yours truly and, I’ll be damned, you are one sharp dude…. about as sharp as a bag of wet mice. Do yourself a favor: have your mouthpiece permanently installed in your mouth so you can’t speak at all. Have them feed you with a tube like a coma patient. You’re not doing Anderson any good and you’re sinking your own ship too. You say I’m not qualified to fight Anderson…Which means that the UFC brain trust – that thinks I AM and are also YOUR BOSSES — are idiots. It also means Ed Soares – Anderson’s manager and YOUR MANAGER TOO – doesn’t know what he’s doing, either. Smooth, guy. Very smooth. Do you have any other brilliant ideas or scathing critiques you care to impart to the UFC Brass or your own manager? Maybe that shot Sokodjou hit you with was worse than it looked (if that’s even possible). You seem like a nice enough guy, and I have no real beef with you (Oh, and speaking of beef: If you can turn your disk over at the Rodizio once in awhile and get down to "185," there’s gonna be a new sheriff there in less than a month who’ll be happy to ride you right back out of town on a rail). So please see this as the kind of well-intentioned advice I would give to a friend or training partner. And if you lose a few (you looked like Roy Nelson in a Frankenstein mask for that Brilz fight… which you lost, buddyboy), we can scrap in the Fall."

Re: Chael F'n Sonnen

Hahahahahaha

Oh man, I think I'm actually starting to like this guy. He had a couple of other good lines talking about Silva. One about having a moral obligation to society to beat the **** out of him and another about how Anderson is going to be on his back more than a "pornstar with a mortgage payment." Dude brings the LOLz, too bad he's gonna get KTFO.

I dont like him because he thinks he's better than him. Last time i checked he lost to Maia who Anderson destroyed without trying. But most of his losses are against tough opponents.

Lets get this straight right away. Anderson did NOT destroy Maia. If he did there would not of been the disgrace news topics all over the place after the fight was over. Instead he made Maia look horrible the first 2 rounds then made himself look horrible the last 3 rounds. I personally think Anderson got tired from doing all the fancy stuff he was doing round 1 and 2. He knew if Maia was able to put him on his back he would be in trouble. Instead he got into Maia's head and took him out his game. Maia did nothing to push the fight. He half halfheartedly chased Anderson around the ring.

Now Sonnen on the other hand will make damn sure to charge Anderson and attempt the take down over and over and over. We all know Anderson is dangerous off his back, but the million dollar question is. If Sonnen gets Anderson on his back, will Anderson be able to prevent the brutal ground and pound from Sonnen.

I see Sonnen having a great shot. I think you have to give the fight to Silva, but even then you can't count Sonnen out if it hits the ground.

This.

I think Sonnen has a better chance, albeit still slim, than people are giving him. He's gonna come straight at him, which definitely plays to Anderson's style, but it will be interesting to see if he can put pressure on him and I think eventually he's gonna put Anderson on his back.

And as far the mental part goes, Sonnen's got a huge advantage. Whereas most of these guys are very timid and try not to lose in their fights with Silva, Sonnen actually BELIEVES he can beat him. It's not the usual "I talk trash about this guy to try and convince myself he's beatable" crap that Trigg pulled for the Hughes' fights. He truly believes everything he says and has it dead set in his mind that he can and will beat him. Now does that make him crazy? Of course it does, the guy is clearly out of his mind (which is scary to think he was almost elected to a public office). But he believes he can win and we have to give him credit for that. Cause in a sport where two men fight shirtless in a cage for the entertainment of others at the risk of life and limb, you have to be a little crazy.

But yeah, he will probably get KTFO'ed.

LOL well said.

I think Silva's reputation has created this "god like" figure similar to what Machida created before losing to Shogun. I think people are not taking into account that Anderson Silva is just a normal man and can get all beat up just like everyone else. Sonnen has a great legitimate shot because he will put major pressure on Silva. We all know Silva is a dominating counter striker. but if he winds up in this position


He won't be able to counter strike and develop the power he is known far. So his "comfort zone" is taken away from him and then Sonnen is placed in his comfort spot. Which he can deliver brutal strikes. Anderson will most likely win. But Sonnen has a better shot than most.

All it takes is one knee or punch for Anderson to knock him out.
I think if Anderson tries he will destroy him, but if screws around and tires out sonnnen can put him on his back. Also though, he tired out also because they were in an outside arena.
Even if Sonnen gets him on the ground though, anderson can submit him. Hes got very underrated submissions.

I believe so. But like you said Anderson is very dangerous off his back. He will wrap those lanky legs around for a triangle in a split second or he will deliver brutal elbows from the bottom. But even with all that said. I honestly think Sonnen has a better shot than what people are given him credit for.
