What do you mean x factor? Sonnen fought an injured Anderson, why is that so hard to understand? A healthy Aranha would whoop Chael's ass everywhere.

If you are going to debate, the first rule is to know all the facts.

Have you just started watching MMA? Anderson has lost to Ryo Chonan via inverted Heel Hook, that was probably in every
knowledgeable MMA fan's memory, his toughest opponent to date he's lost too. He would destroy Chonnan and make him look like a 6 month white belt today. And even in that fight, he was winning.

He's "cleaned out the Division", do you understand what that term means? There is nobody else to fight in the UFC.
