Chael Sonnen: Conor will face Robbie Lawler

[sonhow]

Sonnen is the best talker/opinnion giver in mma history but lot of it is just pure bulshit. Makes no sense for Conor to skip a division.

i can easily see that. maybe thats even why the fight is taking place at 170[/QUOT

I think this fight is taking place at 170 because IF conor loses to diaz he can still fight rda for the title at 155.

 

[Toco]

oh yeah, that too

 

[Jimmy jump]

Could be a good guess from Sonnen. Nothing would be more Dana than giving someone an immediate title shot for the 2nd time having beaten a fighter who isn't even in the division.

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Wouldn't be shocked but still need to see them make the fight. I believe 196 could indeed be the litmus test. Until then, Sonnen gonna Sonnen.

Na it's just two lightweights who don't have time to cut 15 pounds

Conor trying to trash talk Robbie would be hilarious. Robbie would just pat him on the head and call him a funny fella

 

[muaythaibeast]

It wouldn't be surprising, but it's hypocritical after Dana's constant criticism of freak show fights. This would be like giving Machida a HW title shot for beating BJ Penn

It's a good thing Chael isn't known for saying wildly speculative bullshit that's usually completely wrong...

He also has hit the head a few times.

Is that what happened when Nick talked him up and knocked him out? Robbie is an emotional fighter.

That was a decade ago. It is obvious that Robbie is s completely different fighter today than he was then

Dude that was yeeeears ago. Robbie is a much different and more mature fighter now

One had time and permitted the other to weigh in at 170.

 

[boringname]

I think he is more mature but he still fights on emotion.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Chael is almost always wrong.

Conor just said he'd wipe the roster in 4 months.
