Naturally, as the champion, Anderson Silva is the favorite but that doesn’t stop Sonnen from approaching the bout with a high degree of confidence.

Winning his last three fights Chael Sonnen is fighting at the highest level of his career. Touting his abilities Sonnen insists that he will be more than a challenge for Silva and this is a big factor in getting him ready for this match.
