UFC on FOX 2: Mark Munoz will save Chael Sonnen from Brazilian bounties by beating him up in Chicago

I believe this is referred to as "picking your poison."
Chael Sonnen doesn't need to fly to South America to get his ass handed to him by a Brazilian mob when he can simply show up for his UFC on FOX 2 co-main event on Jan. 28 in Chicago and get his butt kicked by Mark Munoz.
That's according to the "Filipino Wrecking Machine," who told Heavy MMA that he's confident heading into their "Windy City" match-up and that he'll demonstrate his power at the expense of Sonnen's title aspirations.
"I feel Chael and I are a great match-up. I feel his strengths are my strengths, and we are going to go out there and find out who is the true number one contender for the title. If he beats me then God bless him, but I can tell you that I have confidence that I’m going to go out there and beat him up. I have power in my hands. Chael gets on top of people but doesn’t finish them. I finish guys. It’s what I do. I go out there and the guns are blazing. On the feet or on the ground it doesn’t matter. I’m going to demonstrate that power every chance I get. There are bounties for Chael down in Brazil. But he doesn’t have to worry about it, because he’s not going to have to go down there."
Munoz is coming off the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC 138 last month across the pond, a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Leben, his fourth in a row and seventh in his last eight fights.
Sonnen recently ran through Brian Stann at UFC 136 back on Oct. 8 in Houston, which prompted UFC President Dana White to declare he would be "stupid" not to make "Silva vs. Sonnen II," but a pesky shoulder injury is keeping "The Spider" on the shelf until June, when the world's largest fight promotion heads back to Brazil (again).
If Sonnen can get by Munoz and make a good impression on network TV, he'll be joining his arch nemesis in his home country.
Assuming he can get past those mobs.
UFC on FOX 2, which will mark the promotion's second appearance on network television, will be headlined by a light heavyweight number one contender bout, as Rashad Evans and Phil Davis return from injuries to battle for the right to fight division champion Jon Jones.

Sonnen has the worst pillow hands than anyone in UFC history
It took him 9 fights to get his first finish
Meanwhile he got finished in 4 of those 9 fights…I mean seriously, which other UFC fighter has it ever taken to get their first finish in 9 fights? While getting finished in 4 of those fights? Anyone? Anyone?
Got to be a UFC record. What a fucking scrub

Damn.
I like Chael, i think hes F’n hilarious and a bad dude, but i dont see him winning this. I hope he does, but cant see it happening.
Munoz's OverConfidence has served him well but...
this is the fight where it will hurt him. in the back of Munoz’s since he beat Chael in college wrestling he’ll thinks he’ll beat him in MMA. Chael is just gonna be tougher and that TRT works great!
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts
of gasoline and equal parts frozen orange juice
concentrate, you can make napalm?"
If Munoz fights his fight at his pace he wins convincingly
However chael likes to walk right to you and tackle you immediately to either put you on your back or make you defend and mark has suspect cardio . If he can avoid the grapplefuck that chael likes to start with he can win in a few ways tko , sub , close decision. However chael knows how frustrating it is to be clung to for 15-25 mins and what that does to a fighters confidence so hell try to put mark there and break his will . Should be a good fight , watch for mark looking for subs .

That's probably the most shit I've ever seen Munoz talk
That guy really is a class act, he’s nice as hell to everyone I’ve ever seen him talk to.

Munoz by TKO round 1, or 2 at the latest.
by freenow82 on Dec 14, 2011 6:25 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Munoz has a chance
but his gas tank is nowhere near Sonnen’s, if he wants to win this he has to do it through submission or brutal ground and pound i don’t think anyone can wrestlefuck sonnen in the middleweight division

Munoz is going to get schooled.
I’m sorry, but a win over Leben does nothing to impress me. The only person credible on his list is Maia. He has zero in the experience department compared to Chael.
I like to float.
But cheating , then winning against the all time great Brian stann is impressive ??!??!

I lost a sig bet, so I have to post these pics for 2 weeks cause I refuse to change my profile pic
But the sig bet was to an interesting person

Sobral vs So-None was hilarious
The audio that goes along with that submission was simply awesome. Sonnen’s nasally death cry is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Back in College Munoz was the better wrestler.
Currently I think Munoz is stronger. Should be a decent fight.
Man I will be rooting for Munoz like hell

FINALLY
Mark Munoz will finally get the attention and backstory that he deserves. The UFC has done a terrible job at telling the stories of their fighters, and I’ve always felt that Mark could be a guy fans rally behind, i mean, he’s grown on me immensely this. I’d love to hear from some of you other Munoz fans out there. Either way I know his fanbase will quadruple after taking this fight on FOX. HELL YEA MUNOZ ::claps:: =]

Took a lot of interviews but he is a true class act.

I think Munoz
has a really good chance of winning this, especially if he can hang even a little with Chael’s wrestling. Chael isn’t knocking anyone out, that is for sure. Munoz hits with much more force and is the only one likely to end this fight. We shall see though, maybe Chael has developed himself into a BJJ submission machine overnight… or was Stann a fluke? I am going with fluke but not sure.

Sonnen's nose isn't that flat.
But his face as a whole looks like a flat plate of piss.
You wash your face in my sink?
I like Munoz.
I also like his chances against So-none©.
Funny how nobody is slamming Mark for calling out Zuffa for NOT paying their fighters enough money. When numerous fighters are all saying the same thing, it’s pretty hard to argue that indeed, ZUFFA is the Mcdonalds of MMA when it comes to cutting those paychecks.
You wash your face in my sink?
I agree with you but i think in the future fighters will get paid a lot more once the UFC becomes mainstream

Sorry Munoz..
Chael’s too beastly for you right now. I keep thinking of that Hamill fight.

Munoz cleary took more damage in the Leben fight than I originally thought he did because that’s the only thing that can explain his delusional comments. Munoz was outclassed badly by Okami when they fought and Sonnen is a much better version of Okami. He’s going to take down and dominate Munoz, this is going to be more one sided than the Stann fight was. Between this and the Davis/Evans fight we are going to see 2 of the most 1 sided #1 contender fights in UFC history what a waste for both Sonnen and Evans.
