i think there are a lot of people forgetting about one Chael Sonnen....
No one is forgetting. They're just remembering how many times he's been subbed or TKO'ed.

Silva wins the fight off of his back. Silva WILL get taken down by Sonnen. It's just a matter of time before Sonnen gets caught in a Armbar,Triangle, Kimura etc. Sonnen is tough as nails and won't get finished on the feet (unless it's by cut). Sonnen's toughest challenge is people who are aggressive on their back like Filho, Maia. Anderson Silva is pretty good off of his back.
Sonnen shouldn't be as big of an underdog as he is.
I say his underdog status is spot on. All of his wins are by decisions, he's basically just a wrestler and his stand up is not that great (even he said so). I see this fight being like the Silva v Hendo fight. And yes, he wont be finished on his feet until Silva knees his face a few times.

You do realize that Sonnen has never been actually "knocked out" right?
He has two losses by TKO. One from a cut, and another because his corner threw in the towel.
Sonnen has a chin made of granite.
I'd say that Daikken's comparison of Sonnen and Hendo is accurate, except Hendo has far, FAR superior KO power. I'd say that Sonnen has better wrestling(not greco-roman, though), crisper striking than Hendo, and they both have similar chins.
Hendo's vicious KO power gave him a chance in his fight with Silva, but Silva himself has a great chin.
Chael's only hope is his wrestling. If Chael wins, he is winning by decision. Silva has numerous ways to finish the fight and, in my opinion, will.

I wasnt comparing Hendo and Sonnen's style, just the fight is probably going to go the same way.
Well yeah, that's why I said TKO'ed and not KTFO unconscious. My point was, he's been stopped numerous times in his career. You do realize Chris Leben and Nate Marquardt have only lost by KO/TKO (Ref Stoppage) once in their entire careers right? Guess against who?
I know you weren't. Just making my own observations.
And yeah, Leben also has a grantie chin, similar to Chael's. The outcome may very well be the same, we'll see.
Although I will say that Leben's style is far, FAR more reckless than Sonnen's.
Speaking of which, I hope Leben KO's Akiyama. Badly.
Edit: Nice edit by the way : )

Edith Labelle oh is it coincidence after my pron comment you post all those pics hmm??
Since you edited your entire post, I'll add my thoughts to this one as well:
No one is forgetting. They're just remembering how many times he's been subbed or TKO'ed.
When you stated that Sonnen had been submitted and TKO'ed, you implied as if the "TKO" was in the 'normal TKO' manner, and not by cut/throwing in the towel. At least, that's how I took it. Sorry for the assumption.
When did I edit it!? It's still the same.
No edit and it's 100% accurate.
No problem but like you said, that was your assumption. And FYI: there's no such thing as a "normal TKO manner". TKO simply means a fight stopped by anything other than a KO or Foul (DQ). Again, I never said KO'ed. And again, my point was Sonnen has been stopped numerous times before. Anderson Silva has never been KO'ed or TKO'ed (never seen him rocked and I can't recall him ever being cut!?) and his only losses are by DQ, Decision and two Subs (Triangle/Heel Hook). Two subs I doubt Sonnen could pull off.
