UFC 148 Preview

Tonight is UFC 148 including the much anticipated rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen.  Chael Sonnen was banned after the first fight due to steroids, however, he has been granted an exemption to use steroids in this fight against Anderson Silva.  I think, for me, the steroids make this an interesting fight.  Anderson is big, strong, extremely quick and talented.  I really do think the only way to make an interesting fight with him is to get a very strong wrestler on steroids - enter Chael Sonnen.  I see this fight being competitive early and Anderson doing better in utilizing his vast skill set.  Chael knows only to do one thing and he will do it just like the last fight.  I anticipate Anderson's take down defence to be much stronger to counter Chael's aggression as well.  Expect a close fight with either a close controversial decision (think Bisping-Sonnen) or Silva winning via TKO or submission in the middle to late rounds.
