    I'm still giving Chael huge props. He deserves it and he actually bested Silva standing up.

    Sonnen did amazing. The first one to give Silva a fight in his four years of being champion which deserves a lot of credit. He got caught, such is the way of the fight game. :conf

    Chael is gutted, lets be honest he dominated. But i couldnt come back from that kind of a loss. Look wrestling is 50% of the game (thats a huge advantage) thats why I though Chael and Matt will have subs covered and should win handily.

    They certainly concentrated on strikes because he edged Silva standing up.

    But this is the **** that happens props to Silva, Chael was classy in the end though.

    Nah he put Silva in his ass twice, which was surprising honestly. But if you are an elite wrestler and can pick and slam Okami up, you knew youd be on Silvas guard all day. Practice on sub defense!. As I predicted, it was a triangle that did him in.

    Silva looked high and his stand up looked sloppy for the most part.

    hey I put this thread up because I knew he would dominate Silva based on styles (thats why I was shocked people here who liked MMA didnt know this) and I dont care what anyone says Anderson BJJ is a bit overrated. It was Sonnen who could have just buried his head on Silvas chest for the last round. But ****in Matt told him to fight like hes losing:patsch

    The one in the 5th was as much a slip as it had to do with a punch. The first round he definitely got caught though.

    All he had to do was last another couple minutes, I was soooo disapointed, Sonnen beat him up like he said he was and Anderson took it four 4 and a half rounds. Too bad I was getting exited at the thought of Anderson losing.

    This was one of the most exciting fights I have seen in a long time :D

    Sonnen is a dog.. I'll always be a big fan of both.

    Very good pick sir. I wasn't expecting this. Sonnen is a ridiculously strong guy, but I was really surprised how well he did in the stand up against Silva.

    I just hope theres another elite MMA wrestler out there whos all around game is a bit better, ala Hughes (although Matt is nowhere near Chael in pure wrestling). So far, I dont see anyone on the horizon with the pedigree of Chael as far as wrestling goes. Chael fought his heart out and this is what I mean when I disparage Silva, people are paying lots of money to buy PPVs dont spit in their faces, esp. his fans who has big expectations.

    Anderson won but he got beat up and taught a lesson and will have ice on the side of his head for a while.
