| Well this totally burst my bubble of Chael whipping Biisping,
but I guess disappoints the Bisping fans again showing them
how far out of the title picture Bisping really is. Maybe we could
call it sheltered yet again, who knows.
This is funny seeing as Chael came out last week saying there
was no fight with Mark Munoz and pretty much said the winner of
Mayhem-Bisping was his next opponent.
Article
Chael Sonnen will have to win another fight before he can get his long-awaited rematch with Anderson Silva, because the UFC has announced that Sonnen's next fight will take place on January 28 in Chicago, when Sonnen will fight Mark Munoz in the co-main event at the second UFC on Fox event.
Sonnen had been expected to face Silva -- whom he called out after beating Brian Stann in October -- but Silva is nursing a shoulder injury and apparently won't be ready for a few months. So Sonnen vs. Munoz will determine the next No. 1 contender in the middleweight division.
The Sonnen-Munoz fight matches up two of the best wrestlers in the middleweight division; Sonnen used his wrestling to control Silva for four rounds before getting submitted in the fifth, while Munoz is a former NCAA wrestling champion who is currently riding a four-fight winning streak.
A Sonnen-Silva rematch has long been viewed as the biggest fight the UFC could book in its middleweight division, but if Munoz beats Sonnen, a Munoz-Silva fight would also be big. Munoz is 7-1 since moving down to middleweight, with the only loss coming by split decision to former top contender Yushin Okami, so Munoz would certainly be worthy of a title shot if he gets past Sonnen.

| Heh Sonnen loses this one.... I dont think it will matter how much he whines he wont get his rematch....
Munoz gets the first shot at Anderson....
The Count gets his shot after beating Sonnen.... (Sonnen gets busted for PED's again... joins Fighting With the Stars and beats Cyndi Lauper.)
Anderson then kills Bisping ... making all us Count fans cry and cheer at the same time.
I'm just sayin.... | |

I'm just sayin.... Please sir, go on . . . . I would love to hear you explain to me how this is going to happen, game plan, etc. Even if Munoz hypothetically were to beat Sonnen, Bisping would still have to fight Chael imo. | |

| Two good wrestlers with good boxing , Munoz has got more rediculous power ,but I think Sonnen is a better wresler with the more technical ground and pound. | |

| Don't get me wrong, from what I've said on here;
Mark Munoz is a skilled adversary for sure, and this will
be an entertaining fight to say the least. Much more
entertaining than the Miller-Bisping fight. | |

| sonnen munoz should be an exciting fight for sure and i believe munoz has good enough wrestling and a fast enough pace to give chael lots of problems and great chance of winning. | |

| Yeah I called BS right away when Chael was implying that he would fight the winner of Bisping/Miller. Fighting Munoz makes much more sense. | |
