Sonnen will destroy Okami

[Clubfingers]

I think I would also take Sonnen over Okami.

Okami has the skills to beat Sonnen, but I still see him as an overly passive underachiever and think Sonnen would out work him. I think we have yet to see Okami fight at his full potential.

His re-introduction, Sonnen is 1W-2L in the UFC. His losses are long ago to Jeremy Horn and Renato Sobral.

He would beat either of those guys now.

Silly TS. Think what you want, you obviously know very little about Okami if you think he has none existent wrestling, so think what you wish to.

it'd be a good matchup, not an easy one for both.

I didn't say he has non-existent wrestling, I'm saying Sonnen would destroy him at his own game. People thought Filho had great wrestling too, look how that turned out.

It turned into an armbar last time I checked

you have to remember philo was in a terrible place before the fight not too mention he hasnt been tested other than by mediocer mw he hasnt fought anyone who is considered a top in the country sure philo was thought to be but the fight before that he went five rounds with a fighter who we can all say isnt the best and couldnt finish him i dont think he will just come in and start picking away at the top competers do i think he has potental yes but i think he needs to get used to the level of comp in the ufc

It turned into two fucking beatings and Filho not even coming close to ever securing a takedown. Yeah, he got the armbar (which has nothing to do with wrestling, don't know why you even brought it up) from the BOTTOM because Sonnen put his ass there!

There are plenty of guys who can beat Sonnen in the UFC, Okami just isn't one of them.

Sonnen dominated the standup game in both fights, no doubt. But in the fight where the action stayed on the ground we both know who had hte last laugh. Anyways, i'll sig bet you if they fight since you're so confident in Sonnen against Okami.
