Long-reigning middleweight champion Anderson Silva will rematch his rival Chael Sonnen in the main event at UFC 148, and each man is bringing a fistful of intangibles into the cage.
How big of a factor was Silva's hurt ribs in the first fight that saw him dominated by Sonnen before a miraculous last round comeback? How much of Sonnen's performance can be attributed to elevated testosterone levels? The champ's anger may also play a key role, but in who's favour is yet to be seen. Let's not forget the Steven Seagal x-factor either. Under Siege is a classic, don't hate.
We'll find out tomorrow.
