Fagner Said,
Im so happy anderson silva got win !! hi deserves !! hi s the best !!!
good overall fight…almost went the distance.,silva gets the win via sub. in the 5th when he needed it..if sonnen's thinkin REMATCH …SILVA will be prepared…he know w'sup now.sonnen had the chance to beat silva,best chance anynbody has had in the UFC, couldnt do it, SILVA PROVED he has a chin, and could go the distance.i mean silva was pumbled for 4 rounds and he was still on the fresh comin into the 5th……SILVA IS DA MAN…..ps.
lookin forward to the ANTI-ANDERSON SILVA COMMENTS…….FUCK chael…..big mouth pussy ..had the perfect chance ..but could'nt do it……
Always a fan of Anderson, he is an amazing fighter. I am also a huge fan of Chael, especially now. Great damn job Chael, you proved to us all Anderson is human, can be defeated, and has a lot of heart for starting that fifth round. Last guy to take a four round beating, our favorite Prodigy, couldn't make it for five.
Chael, Next time you're about to black out, clench your fist and punch, kick, push, twist…Whatever you do, don't open your hand and leave it hanging as if your ready to tap….cause like it or not, one open handed tap is all it takes. If your fist is clenched, tap or not, it'll look like a punch. Damn you had it dude!
Brick…dude…The Spider is my hero, but come on man….He got his ass kicked for 4+ rounds, Chael had a great game plan and deserves respect for backing up his trash talk…I wouldn't fuck with anyone in the UFC, especially one who handles Anderson like a rag doll for 20 minutes.
Chael Sonnen (amoung other things said…) " I understand Anderson Silva has a nogueira bjj black belt… getting a black belt from the Nogueira brother's is like getting a free toy in a happy meal".
Serves him right. I could not go on living talking the shit he did, and then loosing.
…after seeing this, I have to predict that Bones Jones would destroy Anderson Silva. Sonnen has his number, too.. he just had a mental lapse at the end… rematch is definitely in order. All you Silva nut-huggers saying Sonnen wouldn;t make it out of the next round… please tone it down… Silva can & will be beaten.
Silva needs this ass whipping to bring him down to earth some. A rematch is a must for Chael and I don't see it going any different but that Chael won't make the same mistake.
nahhhs you can tell from the first round anderson wasnt really even taking him serious at first, it seemed like he underestimated sonnen but if he fought jones he would be more prepared against him
Sonnen backed up all the trash talk. This prooves that Silva is just simply the best MMA fighter in the world. To lose 23 minutes and 5 seconds of a fight lmao I dont know if the numbers are right lol but you get the point lol he still was able to win that was by far the best finish to a fight in UFC history ubelivable wow is all I can say,
This was an amazing fight, I couldn't believe it when Silva won. However, I think that the ass kicking Silva got from Sonnen for the first four rounds is definately going to benefit Silva. I'm hoping we see a rematch, but I don't see Sonnen threatening Silva as much as he did in this fight.
why would Soonen deserve a rematch?? He tapped.. like a bitch. Let him beat Rousimar Palhares( who will rip Sonnon's leg off) and Demian Maia whom he lost to, then give him a rematch.
Silva is a true champ, all those who say he got beat up, sure, but they don't say he went into this fight with broken ribs, still got the victory, and with all the strikes that lying politician threw, he looked virtually without a scratch (compared to Chael who was busted up,swelled and bleeding). I hope all the gutless critics would realize Silva took the fight injured so he won't disappoint his fans, so show some respect The redneck Sonnen is crying now, the elbow that landed in his face ,seconds before the end of the fight, literally cutted him like a samurai sword and then…the sub.Sonnen is so pathetic,"i did not tap!" HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Called the sub though it wasnt in the round i called. Very close win for the spider. Chael hella suprised me even though some of his ground n pound prior to the championship rounds seemed a bit like he was just going through the motions to not get stood up. Plus it was Josh Rosental who is already an IFFY ref. Josh was almost caught in another controversy even tho Chael did tap maybe they should create a 3 tap rule to make it an offical tap. I gotta say tho Chael got HELLA CARDIO to hold the squirmy spider on the ground that long.
I hope users dont use this match to say GSP has a chance against Silva. Keep in mind Chael fought from LHW and moved down.
silva simply came in underestimating sonnen,u guys that keep saying rematch arent thinking correctly, sonnen might not make the same mistakes but do u believe that silva will be making the same mistakes too? no he will be ready for the take downs and the wrestling, chael lost to demian maia U DAMN CHAEL NUTHUGGERS lol maia looked foolish fightin silva, if silva is serious chael would have met the same fate and looked just as foolish, silva just won the same way brock won his last fight, real champions find ways! much respect to them both, alot of ppl hate brock and silva but i support them
yeah yeah injurd or not he got beat up just like Chael got submitted both deserve respect.Chael did something that previous fighters couldnt do and Silva survived that fight.Simple as that just stop hating guys.
I feel sorry for Sonnen, he battered Silva the whole fight…..Silva had to FIGHT for that……..there was ZERO bullshit show boating this time…check out the look on his face as Sonnen tapped….sheer relief!!!!! He was smashed up. By the way anyone who has fought would know the bruises and scrapes don't normally show until the day after I bet Silva is black and blue now. Sonnen proved his point and backed up his trash talking.
No way in Hell Anderson would underestimate anyone at his level, that kind of excuse only makes him sound like an amateur. Nope, simply put, Chael beat the crap out of him for 4 + rounds and eventually got caught!
LMFAO…Only prob with that is he would have to stay standing with Silva, but he could have held him down like some lame wrestlers…But that is why he will be around for a long time, Most respect to both these guys.
Could say it better myself Marz! Madona, don't be a homo, if Chael is a Bitch, then Silva got his ass handed to him for 20 minutes by a Bitch! So you degrade both these guys dumbass! Chael showed power, Silva showed heart, GREAT FUCKING FIGHT!
Great Ref Job! If you tap you tap! If you don't want to tap, don't fucking TAP, Just pass out. Shit I thought those BOMBS he dropped in round one and two were going to KO Silva any second! Yea sure he landed many light blows, but you do that to set up big blows. Tap your kidney and floating ribs 10 times and when you tighten up ready for number 11 I swing hard to your face!
looks like Belfort will have to take care of this matter!! as for Sonnen he is a beast and no slouch!! Anderson does not impress for Sonnen backed up his words. Anderson showed heart but will that be enough next time? Belfort is more atheletic, faster, black belt bjj, trained in wrestling, muay thai, boxing, and ……………found Anderson disrespectful!!
I can't believe Anderson was dominated like that. Insane. Chael's ground and pound looked pretty weak after round 2, but he still took down Silva every round. I was fucking pissed by the mid of round 5. I thought this shit was going to the judges. Too bad Sonnen doesn't know how to finish fights. People think GSP is a boring champion (I don't), imagine if Sonnen became champ. That was very close and Silva almost lost the title to the bullshit politician.
lol! guess someone is going to think more about Nogueira Brothers Jiu-jitsu.
And to all saying Silva got his ass kicked… try to remember the first UFC editions… Royce fights were pretty much like this one…
Nothing else to say.. the guy tapped…go eat all the Blah-Blah-Blah Sonnen
" I understand Anderson Silva has a nogueira bjj black belt… getting a black belt from the Nogueira brother's is like getting a free toy in a happy meal". Chael Sonnen
ANDERSON SILVA HAD A BROKE RIBS AND CHAEL STILL NOT TUF FOR BEAT HEM !! HE S A GAY !!! HUHAUHUAH ANDERSON SILVA IS THE BEST !!! NO JONES, NO VITOR, NO BODY !!!
So glad Silva won, although after that fight i'd Brock Lesnar them all, fans are so fickle one minute Silva then Sonnen, retards, just as bad as the ones here calling Chael gay or 'not TUF to beat hem' When clearly he's shown he's probably the 2nd best middleweight in the world, close to being first, after that i've newfound respect for him as a fighter still an asshole but still, just like Nelson deserves some credit for being blasted and staying conscious.
I was hoping Silva would get things done for the better part of five rounds. He showed big heart, a solid chin, and great BJJ technique to close out the match. I hope this fight lights a fire for Anderson to train harder and will keep him humble. Props to Chael who IS legit. Rematch is in order, but he should wait in line.
Hey brick head you don't have a fuckin clue.As for Chael being a pussy he would probaly use you as a street sweeper you Knob.For some reason I am getting the impression that you are a Fat dope smoking coach potatoe who is still living off of when he beat up some nerd like pee wee herman in high school.
Silva let it go for the 5 rounds by letting Sonnen push himself all the way, then that allowed Spider to drop the Triangle, he was truly the Spider enticing Sonnen to keep pushing, Spider was semi rocked only once in the fight. Now thats what you call a REAL CHAMPION let the contender think he's controlling and running the fight then as his guard slips make him pay for it with cutting elbows then the triangle and arm bar making the contender look and feel like a real bitch! Which I guarantee Sonnen feels like now because he put in so much work and effort and still got caught in the Spider's web.
Why are so many people saying that Sonnen deserves a rematch? It was a brilliant fight and Silva got his ass handed to him for a majority of the fight, but Sonnen still lost legitimately. If it had ended by cut stoppage or something like that, then fair enough, a rematch would be warranted. But he fought well but lost. Should every high profile fight have a rematch a few months down the line? No.
Silva is amazing he is like a modern day bruce lee, Silva seeks challenges he knew Sonnen was'nt on his level. Silva allowed Sonnen 2 hit him watch the fight closely people open your minds, silva is very defensive when have u every seen him get hit like that try never he let it happen. Silva didnt end the fight at the last round by asciddent. World Class striking, BJJ Black Belt, and a rock chin unbeatable.
Ha Ha HA HA!!! This UFC showed that Brazilians are done in the UFC. Their best was man handled by a white wrestler, who if he had punch power would have squashed the Spider. White American wrestlers dominate now even being handicapped with the fact that their original "style" has no finishing moves. Some super man bjj huh? Took 22 1/2 minutes to finally get the white guy tired enough so that he made a mistake and didn't posture up.
Go play beach volley ball or go to the NBA. UFC will be dominated by white American wrestlers for the next 10 years. Can you say honkey domination? No? Learn to or get pounded.
Silva won. Everyone is acting like Chael came out with the victory. C'mon guys don't be so ignorant. This fight goes to show that Silva is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The greatest athletes, even when they are up against it and are struggling, find a way to come out victorious and that's exactly what Silva did. I don't care how "well" Chael did or how much he "beat up" Silva, he lost, and when you talk that much shit about your opponent and lose you don't deserve any respect in my eyes.
He beat the, as you say, best pound for pound fighter in the world for 22 1/2 minutes and deserves "NO RESEPECT'. He did everything he said he would do and lost with 120 seconds to a mistake. That tap was no tap it was a near tap but because he is a class fighter he let go the argument. Even Spider didnt stop fighting cause he knew it wasn't a tap.
Anderson won – fact. Anderson is the current champ – fact. Sonnen beat the crap out of him for 22 1/2 minutes and deserves respect for the effort – FACT!
On top of the Sonnen showed Anderson is not superman and the next whte wrestler he faces with just a little more punching power and just a tiny bit more submission counter skill will take the title – FACT !!!
EVERYBODY FIGHTS HURT!! Rich Franklin score a knock out with a broken arm. Anderson had a boo boo and was so scare he made big deal of it because even he thought he would lose. Everyone loved the fight BECAUSE Sonnen hyped it so much. Sonnen wanted to piss off the Spider and force him to be aggressive so that Sonnen could go for take downs and the Spider fell for it. If Sonnen hadn't gotten so tired from taking down Silva at will and hitting him 10,000 times then he would not have relaxed his posture and been open to the MIRACLE TRIANGLE. That was a hail marry pass and he got lucky. BJJ and Anderson are over rated and no match for White American Wrestlers !!!
You are so stupid it is amazing you can figure out how to breath. What color is the sky in your world because that fantasy land in which you live has to on weird alien universe. Silva got his but kicked for 22 1/2 minutes and got LUCKY when Sonnen got so tired from hitting Silva that he relaxed his posture and even LUCKIER that Sonnen left his arm hanging and ACCIDENTALLY TAPPED. You can tell it was an inadvertent tap because even Silva doesn't stop fighting for the next 30 – 45 seconds and the two had to be pried apart.
Silva is the A-Rod of MMA, he is Mike Tyson when he fought Buster Douglas, he is gambler in Vegas on a winning streak who doesn't walk away while he is ahead. Silva is a top fighter about to begin the slide down to mid tier. He will lose by being knocked out very soon.
Silva showed he can take a beating, he showed he has a chin, he showed he does not quit till the fight it over, and he EARNED the belt. He also showed his is vulnerable, he can be taken out by strikes (1st round), he can be dominated by ground and pound, he keeps his hands too low and thinks he is too good, and he can be manipulated with mind games prior to the fight.
Both fighters deserve respect for a heck of a fight. Disrespecting Sonnen is saying that Silva got dominated for 4 and 1/2 rounds by an inferior fighter. Do you really think an inferior fighter could do that to Silva? If so then Silva is not much of a champ in your eyes. I think Silva is an amazing fighter that has hands made out of stone, can fight stand up with the best in the world or do ju-jitsu with the best. Like every man on earth he has weaknesses and he showed them last night. In the end he did what a champion does and found a way to win against all odds.
Good fight Sonnen, congratulations Silva. Amazing fight that will be talked about for years.
Understand that Sonnen both hyped the fight and was using pre-fight mind games on Silva. His Muhamed Ali style comments were designed to get Silva to be aggressive so that Sonnen could go for take downs. When you fight mad you fight bad.
Have you ever read about Muhamed Ali? Ever read about his comments on Joe Fraiser, comments that most people consider racist, but because both fighters are black he couldn't be called racist.
Silva literally hid behind the ref in his last fight and clowned around. He said after the fight he did it to show dispresct for his opponent because his opponent had disrepected him with comments. That is okay but pre-fight hype is not? Really?
Ridiculous to be a Sonnen hater because he hyped a fight and tried to get into Silva's head. Judge him on his fight performance.
Not a spider fan or a sonnen fan, its clear to see UFC is starting to throw matches in favor of marketing. Think about it, anderson silva would always draw more of a crowed then sonnen becasue not alot of people understand the skill it takes to wrestle.
I’m a fan of Bruce Lee but Anderson Silva is no Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee never fought top competition to prove himself (not saying that AS has had all top competition). Nobody knows if Lee had a good chin. You could say AS is like the movie character Bruce Lee… but that character was never shown to get his butt handed to him for 4 1/2 rounds before his opponent finally makes a mistake.
Anderson wasnt himself through this fight, either because of the injury he spoke of or my opinion is that he is losing interest in fighting. With that said the outcome of the fight is what counts. Yes Sonnen won all the prior rounds but to be the champion you have to beat the champion and he didn't!!
You lost bitch! I notice you didn't say "before Anderson beat you up like Sonnen". Why? CAUSE HE GOT POUNDED BY that White American Wrestler and got lucky. Thiago on the other hand suffered the fate all you White haters will suffer, he got dominated and will be forced up to 205 or down several rungs if not out of UFC all together. Now cry more for me . WAH WAH WAH
hahahaha..the guy named "irrational racist" made me laugh very hard…when he said that brazilian jiu-jitsu is over remembered me of chael BEFORE the fight,with his psycologic games,tryng to make anderson angry.Come on stupid fag,what arguments do u have to say that white fighters are better than black fighters or vice versa?Fighters who train hard,and find ways to get out of bad situations in the last minute like anderson and many others fighters,black or white,that's what u can call a good fighter.DUMB ASS
HAHAHAHA Thiago lost to a White American Wrestler dumb a$$!!! Tonight 3 of the top 5 fights were won by White American WRestlers beat weak ass Brazilains and Blacks !!! This fight a White American Wrestler kicked the top Brazilians butt for 22 1/2 minutes before a Hail Mary triangle caused and ACCIDENTAL TAP!!! Sonnen just has too much class and is too smart to complain knowing it would affect his chance for a rematch. And the top HWT Brazillian barely beat a fat white guy that ISNT even a wrestler on his way to getting crushed by Lesnar who is….. say it with me…… A WHITE AMERICAN WRESTLER!!!!
The brazilians have been training that ju-SHITzu since the 40's and built up a huge stable of fighters. White American Wrestlers have only been training in it for the last 10 years and taking back UFC. Why do you think all the Braziliians like Alves, Silva, JDS and others are now RUNNING TO AMERICA TO TRAIN AND FLEEING BRAZIL??? Where are all the boxers from Mexico and Latin America countries and why aren't they filling the ranks of MMA? Here is a hint ……. WHITE AMERICAN WRESTLERS!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH Por favor pendehos? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Now cut my lawn and pick my lettuce.
Sonnen said himself, "win or lose, Anderson Silva will know he's been in a fight". I can guarantee Silva's hurting a lot more than Sonnen is today. And I don't buy the Tito Ortiz "injury" bs he pulled at the end.
hey dave ….for your information im 6'3 195…far from a couch potato…sounds like u dont have clue.
yea chael prolly would work me quick..he's a trained fighter..i'd fight em tho…get atleast one good shot in..lol…….i know one thing .im a true MMA fan ..i give chael props for beating silva up for 4 and half rounds but he couldnt finish the job..there for isnt worthy of the belt..hence the triangle….
that wasnt a tap fagget..watch it closely it was ment to be a punch…when ur that tired you dont always close you fist…if it was a tap he would have done it more than once
I like the way you have gone off on a compleate tangent and played the race card, sorry I forgot the word BLACK was banned. Black and Blue is a figure of speach thats all..get over it….no one really cares what colour Anderson Silva is………this is an MMA forum talk MMA save your insecurities for your mummy.
what so what your saying is that real fighters talk sheit to get inside their oponents head so they can win ??? you win by training hard and most of the champions are not the ones with the biggest mouth but the humble ones that just poses the skills to finish off their oponent why good job to cheal he got beaten by something silva had for free with his happy meal right plus he couldnt finish him wheil he had the chanche for 20 min he sucks and made a ffool out off himself bigtime next time he fights some one i hope he losses again wonder what he is going to say then
haha he wont get a second shot before others do what makes sonnen so special hes big mouth he lost period i wanna see he up agains ggsp and see if he is able to posses middle and welter at the same time i belief anderson is able to beat every man in the world
i don't see any white american wrestlers holding any titles other than the freak of nature lesnar – that's not even a fair size and strength comparison. sorry bud, but one dimensional fighting cant take you very far….
IF YOU SUBMITT, YOUR NOT A BITCH BUT YOU ARE DEFEATED. A DECISION IS DIFFERENT FROM SUBMISSION SO HE LOST FAIR AND SQUARE. WHEN ANDERSON IS FULLY HEALED AND IM SURE WE WILL TAKE MORE TIME TO IMPROVE HIS WRESTLING AS WELL, HE WILL BE DEVASTATING TO SONNEN NEXT TIME. BUT THE FACT IS THAT A WOUNDED ANDERSON SHOWED SONNEN WHY HE IS CHAMPION AND HOW HE WORKS THOSE HAPPY MEAL TOYS.
with an open palm? bull shit!! that was a tap. i watched it several times cause I,like you originally couldnt tell but the fact that he open handed tapped on andersons hand, thinking its his leg, then tapped his leg after, waited until anderson released his triangle AND THEN started to attack again, just tells me that he didnt have enough oxygen in his body to remember what he did 2 seconds prior.
I can not believe that a joke bothers you so much,save your insecurities for your mummy,watch the conference, Anderson does not have a scratch but your beloved is shattered .(" i bet silva is black and blue now",sure,in your imagination)
Wow, watched it live on PPV and now again on this website. Great fight and Sonnen dominated Silva like no one has before. Although Sonnen didn't get the win, the victory was his. He went out and took the fight to Silva like he said he would and has shown other fighters in the UFC that Silva isn't invincible. Enjoyed his hyping the fight and he may not be too off the mark on Armstrong. When the current investigation is completed on Armstrong, I think he will go down in flames. Don't know about Armstrong giving himself cancer, but he most certainly had to dope. It's well known now that the majority of the GC guys in the peloton were using performance enhancing drugs and Armstrong completely dominated them. Unrealistic to believe he was in that great of shape to dominate all the top level cyclists who were using performance enhancing drugs.
Sad to see for chael. All the fucker had to do was lay on him for 2 miniutes, he got cocky, tried knocking silva out, and it came back to bite him in the ass. Guess its true now, anderson really is the spider, becuase he can take you out in the blink of an eye….god damn…
ok you were joking, I'm so used to some people being idiots on this forum, sorry i take it back, and yes Sonnen is the one black and blue…Silva must be made of rubber!!
Anderson Silva was in a bad day… and with BROKEN RIBS… if he fight Sonnen again he will not only WIN, as HE DID, but Sonnen will have no chance at all.
Only Vitor Belfort and Shogun Rua could in my opinion match with him
Machida too, but he is friends with Anderson and that fight willl never happen.
shane watch it again and honestly tell me that wasn't a tap and if you think that wasn't a tap go find another sport this one might make you think to much……lol
i believe anderson was trying to submit chael to prove a point chael talked alot about the legitamacy of andersons bjj black belt he had to do it for the noguirra brothers
I agree. While I would like to see them fight again I would prefer to see them fight sometime in the future, but not in an immediate rematch. I would much prefer to see a Silva vs. Belfort fight next. Sonnen did a great job, but he got silly at the end, probably should have played it a bit safer to get the win. But I have tons of respect for Sonnen for NOT playing it safe, the dude kept coming and coming, non-stop. He may talk a lot of shit but he backed it up almost the entire fight. Congrats to Silva for having the heart and the skill to win in the end. Awesome fight, but please, no immediate rematch.
you do realize that anderson wanted to be taken down right? notice how he was throwing wild jumping head kicks and flying knees, and not setting anything up, nor did he ever sprawl during the takedowns even when he could have, its because he wanted to submit Chael for talking shit about the Nog brothers his best fuckin friends and mentors. Anderson doesnt take kindly to people disrespecting the people he cares about, and that was the worst thing Chael said about Anderson, thats why he came in with his Gi and blackbelt on and thats why he raised his blackbelt and put his Gi on after the victory. To say anderson wasnt wanting chael to take him down is fucking absurd, if you disagree then you really dont know MMA very well. Anderson was not fighting like he was concerned about getting taken down because thats what he wanted. Im not saying he planned to win in the 5th but he definitely was intentionally going to the ground. It is ignorant to say Anderson was trying as hard as he could to keep the fight standing because he absolutely was not.
except he wasnt squirming at all during the entire fight and was wanting to be on the ground obviously.. not once did he scramble or try to get on to his feet.
you guys do realize that Anderson wanted the fight to be on the ground right.. Do you guys honestly think that the fact that he entered the octagon with his Gi and blackbelt and after he won he put his Gi on and raised his blackbelt in the air was a coincidence? Remember when Chael called the Nog bros blackbelt a happy meal toy, well Anderson proved Chael wrong and slapped him in the face after the fight by raising the belt at the end of the fight. And if you think he honestly was trying to stay on his feet then explain why the fuck anderson was coming at chael with flying head kicks and flying knees with no set up what soever if he was worried about the take down? Makes no sense that anderson wanted to stay standing. And notice that when he was on his back that he was not moving at all lying flat on his back the whole time. I honestly think he wanted Chael to think he was going to win the fight i.e. him letting Chael jaw him 3 times in the 1st round. He came into this fight wanting a submission to represent the Nog brothers and he made it pretty fucking obvious, he was completely wild and wreckless with his striking showing that he wanted to be taken down to the ground. Noone can convince me otherwise cuz there is no way all of that was just a coincidence. And no I am not biased towards anderson I actually bet 100 dollars on Chael and lost.. I analyzing what I saw and what kind of person/fighter Anderson is. He takes his family and friends very seriously and he came out and proved that Nogueira Jiu Jitsu is legit.
dude are you fucking retarded, it obviously was a tap if Chael THE ACTUAL GUY WHO DID IT had no objection post fight. He knows he lost he just didnt want to believe it at the moment. You truly have mental issues if you honestly think that wasnt a tap
Good fight! Sonnen should have took a page out of the outlaws book and refused to tap. He had the win in the bag then taps, only to get out of it a second later. I bet he never taps agian! I guess Silva has had his weakness exposed. For all who think he is the P4P god I guess you my be rethinking that now. I now have totally made up my mind as to who would win between Silva and GSP. There is no question GSP would own Silva!
If you looked at the post fight interview, you would see that Silva was dealing with an injury to his rib and the doctor didn't want him to fight, but he still did. He would of ended the fight in the 1st round if his rib wasn't busted. Silva could of did so many armbars and triangles before the 5th round, and if you didn't see how many he could of did, you would be shocked. I feel if Silva was 100%, he would of finished him in the first.
Sonnen is a great wrestler but that is all he is. He doesn't finish anyone on the ground or standing up, and yet again, he didn't finish Silva or even win.
You know that for 4 1/2 rounds Silva was on the ground and could not submit Sonnen. 23 minutes and he could not get that submission. If you are right and he wanted to go to the ground then Silva proved it takes him 5 rounds to get a submission against a guy that doesn't even have a JJ belt. That is an embarrassment for Silva.
Anyone that knows BJJ also know that you don't try to get taken down, you clinch and pull guard. Silva NEVER pulled guard from a clinch. Silva never got a decent sub attempt until there was only 119 seconds left.
While Silva may have preferred to get a submission win he did not kick high to try and get taken down, he did not refuse to sprawl, he was simply beaten on his feet in grappling and was not allowed the chance to pull guard.
I believe that Sonnen's hand tapped by accident, it was a single hit and BOTH fighter kept going for a while till they were forced apart. Whether it was a tap or not, Silva got lucky to even be in a position to get the triangle. Sonnen should have hidden behind the ref like Silva did in his last fight.
Sonnen did object and in fact BOTH fighters kept going after what people are calling a tap. It was a single, uno, one, solitary hit that could have been him reaching for the leg or any other number of things. Sonnen did the smart thing and dropped the protest knowing that it would cost him a chance for a quick rematch and open him up to criticism because of all the talking he did.
I don't think it was a tap. If you watch or train ju-jitsu or any grappling sport the universal tap is three or more. When you train like that every day for years and years it becomes instinct to tap 3 or more times. You almost CAN'T tap once simply because it is a reflex to do what happens every single day in training.
Not sure if Sonnen could have lasted another 119 seconds and the point is moot since Silva was awarded the win. But it was a single tap. If you say no then take the vid, do slow motion, post it on you tube showing more than one. You can't, it was one.
bruises don't show as clearly on a black man as on a white man. Sonnen has scar tissue and walks around with a perpetual black eye. Silva got rocked in the first round and ate a few hard punches and elbows. If you are trying to sell that Silva did not get a scratch you are a sycophant, blind, or delusional.
Sonnen looked worse but Silva took a beating and had bruising but appears to have taken less damage then Sonnen.
It's idiotic. That was not all planned by Silva. He had a 119 seconds left. Silva did show the heart of a true champion, but he did it by OVER COMING the beating by Sonnen and in an act of desperation finding a way to win. That was a war between two skilled fighters and the Spider narrowly escaped being squashed.
When a BJJ fighter wants to go to the ground they don't do flying kicks, they pull guard. Silva may have wanted sub but saying that he kicked wildly to get to the ground is insane.
As far as proving his BJJ skills, he should be ashamed. He wasn't able to even get an attempt at a sub for 23 minutes.
Silva showed the heart of a true champion but this fiction about him letting it all happen this way is just fiction.
Every fighter fights injured because they train that hard. Fight doctors, by law, will not let a fighter go into a fight with an injury that substantial and put the fighter at risk, which a broken rib would. He had a bruised rib. Rich Frankln won a knock out victory with a broken wrist, and the list of fighters that are hurt and fight goes on.
But no fighter goes into the ring with a significant injury that would be detected by the fight doctor in the pre-fight examination. Sore ribs is Silvas way of trying to explain why he couldn't use his finishing skills or BJJ to even attempt a sub for 23 minutes against a guy that is "just a wrestler" and has not ju-jitsu belt.
He did not have a broken rib. Every fighter must be examined by a state commissioning fight doctor. If that fight doctor finds the fighter has a substantial injury. like a broken rib, then he can not fight by law.
Anderson had sore ribs. Chael had a black eye from training a few days before the fight. EVERY fighter fights injured because they train so hard.
You can not apply a triangle or arm bar with a broken rib, the pain would make you pass out.
Brick you called Chael a "big mouth pussy" in your first post. Can you explain how that is you "giving him props"? Also "fuck Chael" seems not to be props.
Do you know props means "proper respect"? Maybe that is the confusion. You thought it meant calling a guy a pussy for going 23 minutes dominating the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Maybe be the second best 185 pound fighter in the world makes you a pussy. Maybe backing up every word you said about pushing the champ for 5 rounds, making him fight the whole time, hitting him in the face every second, was not sufficient to earn him enough respect to not be a pussy.
You then admit that you would be beaten to a pulp by said pussy. This would make you lower than a pussy which would make you an asshole.
Even silva wins. thats a very bad perfomance for him. its lame… get beating like that and won like that? not that impresive. knockout is impresive or dominating the whole fight. like sonnen does. anyway silva won so good for him i dont hink he will get that lucky next time.
I think sonnen drew the blueprint on how to beat silva, silva got the W, no debates there.
now i would really like to see gsp vs anderson, if he could just put on those extra weight and muscles i think gsp really has a good chance on beating silva,
gsp has better GnP than sonnen, no doubt about that. he would attack with elbows submissions and punches.
do you honestly believe he wanted to go to the ground to make an example of him???? if he wanted to show off like that, he wouldnt have gotten on his knees after the fight and bow to chael sonnen?? if he truly did wanted that, he wouldnt even look at sonnen, but he bowed to him for the ass whoppin he had to endure for the first time in years
i never thought i would see silva tossed around and see a man use him to clean the matt. damn what a great fight sonnen beat the shit out of the spider. but the spider showed why he is the best pound for pound in the world.
i dont think vitor can beat the spider. i still think the only one that can beat the spider is nate the great. if he had 5 rounds with sonnen i bet nate the great would hav finished sonnen in the 4th round he already had sonnen hurt after round 3. nate the great demolished a damian m. a man silva could not finish.
long story short the only man that can beat the spider in his division is nate the great
if the spider moves up in wieght he is the match for the man they call shogun.
If he wanted to use it as an excuse he would of stated it before the fight. He won, and then said it. If anything, he is laughing in his head thinking, "wow i just beat this douche with broken ribs!"
I ABSOLUTELY KNEW ANDERSON SILVA WOULD WIN! HE'S THE MAN. AS FOR YOU IRRATIONAL RACIST, YOU ARE NOT A WINNER…ITS TIME TO GET OVER YOUR CONFLICT, ITS 2010. GET OVER YOUR INSECURITIES JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SAD EXCUSE FOR A LIFE DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD HATE ON OTHERS BASED ON RACE YOU LOSER! oh…and by the way, YOURE PROBABLY JUST JEALOUS CAUSE ANDERSON SILVA IS FIT AND YOUR A FAT SLOB.
I FUCKING HATE SONNEN… JUST THE UFC NEEDS ANOTHER FIGHTER WHO JUST LAYS ON TOP OF SOMEBODY ALL FIGHT LONG… ALSO THE REFEREE LOST COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE FIGHT… HE SHOULD STOOD THEM UP SO MANY TIMES THRU OUT THE FIGHT … AND WASNT EVEN SURE IF IT WAS A TAP OR NOT… GO HOME YOU FAGGOT AND NEVER COME BACK
ok fan boys let all calm down …. look silva was beating the entire fight without question … do not get me confused with a sonnen fan wiwither i think he can hype up a fight like no other fighter in any sport … but he whooped spiders ass , silva was eating all the punches thrown at him and kept moving forward until he was ultimately taken down but in the fifth he caught chael while chael threwn down a blow and anderson superior bbjj was the reason he won great fight insane finish legendary all the way …. and for you guys who think their will be a rematch NO belfort was suppose to fight on 112 and he has been waiting that fight will be excellent as well 2 strikers in a title fight that will happen hopefully in december
Freud would just say: "Cut the crap, you're just wishing hard for a Black Brazilian to ground and pound your weak White American asshole with a big 22-inch black cock!"
Nothing wrong with that; just say so and stop cruising here for a date, ok?
Some things that may had influence on the fight:
1. A lot of people is saying that "if Sonnen had kept his composure for just two more minutes" (sherdog.com). The problem for Sonnen were the punches and elbow strikes from the bottom by Anderson. Those shots had a big impact in Sonnens composure during the last 2 rounds. He was on top but also defending a lot (Sonnens face shows a lot), leaving the oportunity for the submission.
2. Anderson never tried that move during the fight until then. Just a coincidence?
3. Silva's injured ribs: true or not? I didnt know nothing about that but spoted immediately at the end of round 1, when he reached his corner, that there was something wrong with his right upperside body (check the fight video; its pretty visible: Anderson pointed there). I say yes.
4. Class. What else can i say when a guy is on top for 23 min of the fight against an injured oponent, ground and pounding and cannot finish the fight? Because if its not the case, then Silva is really inhuman.
5. The ending. Just like that last second NBA shot that wins the title. Even Michael Jordan had bad games but was always there, whith his mind focused to decide it.
So, i think that Sonnen was 100%, gave his best but just wasn't enough against a 60% Silva. Its curious how Silva performs badly (and lost in the past) with some average fighters. I think that in 10 fights against each other, this is the best Sonnen can do – and yes, he was damn close. Whith Silva in top shape, i still think that Sonnen has no chances. But hey, Silva's not getting younger, so…
thats reall funny especially when sonnen looked more beat up then silva after the fight.bones jones can b nxt wether u like it or not silva is daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKIN CHAAAAAAAAAAMP.go hold bones nuts u faggott ass bitch and keep wishfull thinking.hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Os gringos tão mordidos porque o Spider ganhou… e ele tava com a costela detonada… imagine se estivesse bem.
Ae gringada chupa que essa é toda de vocês !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Eu acredito que na revanche Anderson Silva em vez de lutar com a costela quebrada vai lutar com o braço direito quebrado, e ainda assim vai vencer o retardado do Sonnen, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I believe in revenge Anderson Silva instead of struggling with bruised ribs will fight with his right arm broken, and will still win the retarded Sonnen HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm sure there's plenty of guys your size who could get their ass whooped by most people. Anyone who brags about their size & weight is a fuckin' joke.
i dont think silva will take this victory as a positive, im sure people around him will tell him that he needed a real test and shit but i think it will haunt him in the long run, he will have alot of doubts about his abilities at this stage of his career, he will win more fights but a few losses are on the horizon if he doesnt train his ass off and under estimates his opponents.
everyone who reckons : it was a lucky sub or it wont happen in the rematch or he wont make that mistake again or whatever else….hows this for a dose of reality? sonnen has fought jeremy horn (remember him?) three times. he has lost to jeremy horn, three times.
sonnen is a douche. he didnt just offend silva in his smack talk but also ALL of silvas previous opponents… including Dan Henderson who sonnen apparently doesnt regard as a decent wrestler (despite Dan ACTUALLY compete(ing?) in the olympics rather then being an alternate). he also offended the entire 205 pound division saying its a joke and a karate guy is champ…and offending the Nog bros saying earning their blackbelt is like getting a happy meal toy…
how blind are sonnen supporters and what bullshit has to come from his mouth before you realise he is nothing but a bitter, perpetual runner up.
Chael didn't do shit but try to take Anderson Silva down but still lost, i wonder how he feels now that Silva won because he said in one of his video that Silva will nt get pass him….lol, very funny!
Sonnen is a LOSER. The guy managed to stay on top almost the entire fight and not only did he LOSE, he got the crap beat right out of him. Look at andersons face and look at chael's. Just goes to show, a hundred sloppy punches don't equate to a few razor sharp acurate elbows. SILVA IS THE MAN
In response to all the respected Sonnen fans of course Silva can be beaten who and when? who knows but lets see if there is another fighter like him that wins 12 in a row in UFC s history and holds the belt for such a long time, lets see if Sonnen or Jones can do that . The fight was a surprise for everyone I think Silva did not fight his best , he was also with a rib injury prior to the fight that was cracked in the first round also there was family issues going on in his personal life as well at the same time Sonnen gave it all and I think there may be a re- match although re-matches usually happen only when the win was controversial not when the fight was FINISHED. So I hope Sonnen understands now what is having a belt from the Nogueira brothers .
Jon Jones may have had the opportunity but every fight is different besides Anderson did not fight his best coming with a rib injury that was cracked in the first round and he kept fighting . Now do i think Jones would accomplish 12 wins in a row in the UFC like Anderson and be the champion since 2006 i don't think so.Talk is easy try beating Anderson is not easy
Just for your knowledge my friend 40 % of the belts are held by Brazilians in the entire sport . And by the way Anderson finished the fight period with a broken rib and other personal issues that did not make cancel the fight. Also please understand that the top 5 fighters in the world DO NOT HAVE wrestling background. Also the most domminant fighters as far as holding titles were not wrestlers either . And by the way this is the second time Anderson submits American olypian wrestlers first was Dan Henderson. Anyway just wanted to inform you . and BTW the most dominant Beach volley ball players in history until 2010 were RIcardo Santos and Emmanuel Rego from Brazil . I hope you get your stats better next time
What is your complex man it is actually funny is it that you think whites can t fight or something ?. Dude as I said before look at the stats and trust me they were white all my props to the whites too unfortunatly 40 % of the titles in the entire Sport are held by Brazilians so JIU JITSU is the mother of the arts for MMA . Wrestling is good but make very boring fights kind of like stalling and just getting the points to win .
What a shame for Sonnen he battered silva for four rounds then got punished for showing the heart of a true warrior and champion by making the mistake of trying to win the final round instead of playing it safe and just doing what he needed to do to get through it since he had the points in the bag.So i cant understand the people who are knocking him and saying what a great champion Silva is? He just got outfought and battered for four rounds then got lucky that Sonnen got careless.Okay give him credit for the skill involved in getting the submission but he just got totally outclassed and outfought for four whole rounds they werent even close!!!!
Silva was just playing with Sonnen in the first few rounds..as Dana White wants the fight to appear more competitive and make sure the Silva vs Griffin won't happen again.
Silva did make the fight less one-sided and make it more interesting…
Why would he need to makes excuses………he won! And I don't like how that every time at fighter says anything about being hurt people start saying, "oh he's making excuses". Why is it so hard to believe that these guys do get hurt in training? So think about it….there's guys that trained Anderson for this fight. Those guys will hear his "made up" excuses and be able to reveal his lies when they leave and go train at other schools. These are not made up. If he would have mentioned it before the fight everyone would have said…Oh he's setting up his excuse already. Or He's making up lies because he's afraid to fight Chael. So it's a lose lose situation for a fighter.
Talk about fighters as if you're standing next to one. I guarantee you're tone would change if anderson silva was staring you down right now (; You feel safe at home trashing the people who could absolutely wipe the floor with you?? Hah, go eat a twinkie.
LOL.. i swear silva got beat 4 of the 5 rounds they fought but wtf the face of chaels looked like hes the one who got beat up, while silva stills looks fresh and ready to fight another round… why does he want to fight silva on the ground when he knew silvas original game style was on the ground.. back in pride.. i only saw him fight standin up is when he started fighting in UFC… chaels a moron for thinking he can win against silva on the ground…
I don't care what anyone says anderson silva's guard looked horrible, the comment about his BJJ black belt seems warranted. Chael backed up his smack talk, got all the respect in the world for the guy even though he lost.
come on, give credit where it is do, besides, no one will, or can fight with broken ribs, you would know this ifyou ever broke, or even cracked one.. Sonnen did a fine job, especially being considered a substand fighter when compared to Silva. Ahh you don't mention Silva getting dinked on the chin that put him on the ground, your ribs didn't cause that! Admittedly Sonnen is not a ground and pound guy, and it is very fortunate for Silva that he was not, or he may just have been retired.
Silva is the best striker in mma next to bj penn. I dont see anyone that can really out strike with silva. Dana was trying to give silva hell finding someone like sonnen who willing to bring it to him. we all know thats silva's weakness was his strength, with injury rib that should give silva more tougher time. Its one of those unlucky time
some fighters had to fight injury.Should silva have a rematch with sonnen, i think silva would be alot more ready
physically.
If it was Sonnen fighting Maia like this in this fight, it doesnt surprise me that sonnen had been sub. for multi of time by maia. He did some wild punches that silva could have done better.
yeah……prepared……..unbeatable………next time ……… where have i heard this?…..oh yeah! shogun vs machida 2! it doesnt matter , machida was supposed to be ultra ready and more focused and blah, blah, blah, but the outcome was different!! so dont come and say that "oh next time he wont be able to do what he did to anderson!!!"
again, not agreeing with the racists, but lesnar, cruz, faber, brown, rashad, rmpage. all have wrestling backgrounds that i know for sure of, all of them have been/are champs
amen thiago. and racist, that fat guy happens to be a former ifl champ. so he's not a pushover. i have respect for ALL fighters, regardless of ethnicity. all i care about are fighters who act like the shit, talk smack, and then don't back it up. chael talked a bunch of smack, but he definately backed it up, dominating for a while. for all the people who say that it was a tiny mistake that chael made that caused him to be submitted, well DUH! that's at least half of mma, capitalizing on every mistake your oppenent makes. it was a great fight. oh yea, and racist, you know that everybody is wishing that you get raped by a bunch of brazilians, while we all just laugh.
[...] This is the worst kind of Monday Morning Quarterbacking, I know, but I just have to say: I TOTALLY CALLED THAT. If you go through the archives and re-watch all of Silva’s fights (as I did before this [...]
great game for silva! when both of them are down on the last round, i saw anderson sneak a punch on chael that rocked him bad. that is why silva was able to submit him. he lost his composure for a few sec and silva sumbitted him.
"I don't care what anyone says anderson silva's guard looked horrible, the comment about his BJJ black belt seems warranted. Chael backed up his smack talk, got all the respect in the world for the guy even though he lost.
WORK YOUR SUB DEFENSE CHAEL!"
Problem is, Chael never learns his lesson. He did the exact same stupid thing againt Palo Pilho, when Pilho was considered the best Middleweight in MMA. Dominated Pilho for almost two rounds then got submitted because he was too stupid to get out of Pilho's guard. Fool him once, shame on you, fool him twice and it proves hes a fool.
I do give credit to sonnnen but if you break a rib your not as elusive so andersons ducks and bob's and weaves were not nearly as effective thats why sonnen caught him so much… Great fight tho
Im so happy anderson silva got win !! hi deserves !! hi s the best !!!
August 7th, 2010 at 10:17 pmgood overall fight…almost went the distance.,silva gets the win via sub. in the 5th when he needed it..if sonnen's thinkin REMATCH …SILVA will be prepared…he know w'sup now.sonnen had the chance to beat silva,best chance anynbody has had in the UFC, couldnt do it, SILVA PROVED he has a chin, and could go the distance.i mean silva was pumbled for 4 rounds and he was still on the fresh comin into the 5th……SILVA IS DA MAN…..ps.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pmlookin forward to the ANTI-ANDERSON SILVA COMMENTS…….FUCK chael…..big mouth pussy ..had the perfect chance ..but could'nt do it……
Always a fan of Anderson, he is an amazing fighter. I am also a huge fan of Chael, especially now. Great damn job Chael, you proved to us all Anderson is human, can be defeated, and has a lot of heart for starting that fifth round. Last guy to take a four round beating, our favorite Prodigy, couldn't make it for five.
Chael, Next time you're about to black out, clench your fist and punch, kick, push, twist…Whatever you do, don't open your hand and leave it hanging as if your ready to tap….cause like it or not, one open handed tap is all it takes. If your fist is clenched, tap or not, it'll look like a punch. Damn you had it dude!
August 7th, 2010 at 10:51 pmBrick…dude…The Spider is my hero, but come on man….He got his ass kicked for 4+ rounds, Chael had a great game plan and deserves respect for backing up his trash talk…I wouldn't fuck with anyone in the UFC, especially one who handles Anderson like a rag doll for 20 minutes.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:56 pmHe did more then just tap once.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pmChael Sonnen (amoung other things said…) " I understand Anderson Silva has a nogueira bjj black belt… getting a black belt from the Nogueira brother's is like getting a free toy in a happy meal".
Serves him right. I could not go on living talking the shit he did, and then loosing.
August 7th, 2010 at 11:15 pmwhy i couldnt open the video. it says access denied. damn! where i could watch the replay through net?
August 7th, 2010 at 11:18 pm…after seeing this, I have to predict that Bones Jones would destroy Anderson Silva. Sonnen has his number, too.. he just had a mental lapse at the end… rematch is definitely in order. All you Silva nut-huggers saying Sonnen wouldn;t make it out of the next round… please tone it down… Silva can & will be beaten.
August 7th, 2010 at 11:39 pmSilva needs this ass whipping to bring him down to earth some. A rematch is a must for Chael and I don't see it going any different but that Chael won't make the same mistake.
August 7th, 2010 at 11:39 pmnahhhs you can tell from the first round anderson wasnt really even taking him serious at first, it seemed like he underestimated sonnen but if he fought jones he would be more prepared against him
August 7th, 2010 at 11:55 pmwhere is this video
August 8th, 2010 at 12:44 amnuthugger alert
August 8th, 2010 at 1:02 amRespect for Sonnen great display of wrestling
August 8th, 2010 at 1:02 amSonnen backed up all the trash talk. This prooves that Silva is just simply the best MMA fighter in the world. To lose 23 minutes and 5 seconds of a fight lmao I dont know if the numbers are right lol but you get the point lol he still was able to win that was by far the best finish to a fight in UFC history ubelivable wow is all I can say,
August 8th, 2010 at 1:03 amThis was an amazing fight, I couldn't believe it when Silva won. However, I think that the ass kicking Silva got from Sonnen for the first four rounds is definately going to benefit Silva. I'm hoping we see a rematch, but I don't see Sonnen threatening Silva as much as he did in this fight.
August 8th, 2010 at 1:03 amVideo doesnt work wtf?
August 8th, 2010 at 1:07 amgo to hookedonmma.com n when u find the fight go to video :Here part ull see its next to advertisement
August 8th, 2010 at 1:45 amThis is ONE SIDED POUNDING ladies and gentlemen haha
August 8th, 2010 at 2:02 amnuthugger alert you silva got beat up A-class pounding what else do you need?P4P the best?Not likely.
August 8th, 2010 at 2:05 amsomone help me the video doesn't work and i haven't seen the fight yet
August 8th, 2010 at 2:23 amChael should have hid behind the referee and played it safe for rounds 4 and 5 while showing off his dance moves.
August 8th, 2010 at 2:32 amwhy would Soonen deserve a rematch?? He tapped.. like a bitch. Let him beat Rousimar Palhares( who will rip Sonnon's leg off) and Demian Maia whom he lost to, then give him a rematch.
August 8th, 2010 at 3:37 amWhere's the vid? Says "vid not found or access denied"?!!
August 8th, 2010 at 4:07 amSo is Silva a bitch for tapping in Japan?

August 8th, 2010 at 5:20 amSilva is a true champ, all those who say he got beat up, sure, but they don't say he went into this fight with broken ribs, still got the victory, and with all the strikes that lying politician threw, he looked virtually without a scratch (compared to Chael who was busted up,swelled and bleeding). I hope all the gutless critics would realize Silva took the fight injured so he won't disappoint his fans, so show some respect The redneck Sonnen is crying now, the elbow that landed in his face ,seconds before the end of the fight, literally cutted him like a samurai sword and then…the sub.Sonnen is so pathetic,"i did not tap!" HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2010 at 5:21 amI Called the sub though it wasnt in the round i called. Very close win for the spider. Chael hella suprised me even though some of his ground n pound prior to the championship rounds seemed a bit like he was just going through the motions to not get stood up. Plus it was Josh Rosental who is already an IFFY ref. Josh was almost caught in another controversy even tho Chael did tap maybe they should create a 3 tap rule to make it an offical tap. I gotta say tho Chael got HELLA CARDIO to hold the squirmy spider on the ground that long.
I hope users dont use this match to say GSP has a chance against Silva. Keep in mind Chael fought from LHW and moved down.
August 8th, 2010 at 5:27 amsilva simply came in underestimating sonnen,u guys that keep saying rematch arent thinking correctly, sonnen might not make the same mistakes but do u believe that silva will be making the same mistakes too? no he will be ready for the take downs and the wrestling, chael lost to demian maia U DAMN CHAEL NUTHUGGERS lol maia looked foolish fightin silva, if silva is serious chael would have met the same fate and looked just as foolish, silva just won the same way brock won his last fight, real champions find ways! much respect to them both, alot of ppl hate brock and silva but i support them
August 8th, 2010 at 5:43 amyeah yeah injurd or not he got beat up just like Chael got submitted both deserve respect.Chael did something that previous fighters couldnt do and Silva survived that fight.Simple as that just stop hating guys.
August 8th, 2010 at 5:50 amI feel sorry for Sonnen, he battered Silva the whole fight…..Silva had to FIGHT for that……..there was ZERO bullshit show boating this time…check out the look on his face as Sonnen tapped….sheer relief!!!!! He was smashed up. By the way anyone who has fought would know the bruises and scrapes don't normally show until the day after I bet Silva is black and blue now. Sonnen proved his point and backed up his trash talking.
August 8th, 2010 at 5:53 amSilva is already black.
August 8th, 2010 at 6:06 amIt's not letting me watch it wdf. Video not found or no access?
August 8th, 2010 at 6:13 amSilva is BRAZILIAN not BLACK… theres a difference WHITE BOY! Like AMERICAN AND EUROPEANS…
Funny how after all the Cheal elbows didnt cut Silva once
August 8th, 2010 at 6:34 amGo fucking buy it.
August 8th, 2010 at 6:58 amNo way in Hell Anderson would underestimate anyone at his level, that kind of excuse only makes him sound like an amateur. Nope, simply put, Chael beat the crap out of him for 4 + rounds and eventually got caught!
August 8th, 2010 at 7:04 amhe's a black brazilian, and whats that got to do with anything at all?
August 8th, 2010 at 7:07 amLMFAO…Only prob with that is he would have to stay standing with Silva, but he could have held him down like some lame wrestlers…But that is why he will be around for a long time, Most respect to both these guys.
August 8th, 2010 at 7:08 amCould say it better myself Marz! Madona, don't be a homo, if Chael is a Bitch, then Silva got his ass handed to him for 20 minutes by a Bitch! So you degrade both these guys dumbass! Chael showed power, Silva showed heart, GREAT FUCKING FIGHT!
August 8th, 2010 at 7:12 amask formestane
August 8th, 2010 at 7:13 amGreat Ref Job! If you tap you tap! If you don't want to tap, don't fucking TAP, Just pass out. Shit I thought those BOMBS he dropped in round one and two were going to KO Silva any second! Yea sure he landed many light blows, but you do that to set up big blows. Tap your kidney and floating ribs 10 times and when you tighten up ready for number 11 I swing hard to your face!
August 8th, 2010 at 7:19 amlooks like Belfort will have to take care of this matter!! as for Sonnen he is a beast and no slouch!! Anderson does not impress for Sonnen backed up his words. Anderson showed heart but will that be enough next time? Belfort is more atheletic, faster, black belt bjj, trained in wrestling, muay thai, boxing, and ……………found Anderson disrespectful!!
August 8th, 2010 at 7:34 amwhite boy? haha,i was smiling after reading this "I bet Silva is black and blue now" . AND PLEASE,READ MY FIRST POST,That will clear everything up
August 8th, 2010 at 7:38 amjust wait a few hours
August 8th, 2010 at 7:40 amI can't believe Anderson was dominated like that. Insane. Chael's ground and pound looked pretty weak after round 2, but he still took down Silva every round. I was fucking pissed by the mid of round 5. I thought this shit was going to the judges. Too bad Sonnen doesn't know how to finish fights. People think GSP is a boring champion (I don't), imagine if Sonnen became champ. That was very close and Silva almost lost the title to the bullshit politician.
August 8th, 2010 at 7:43 amlol! guess someone is going to think more about Nogueira Brothers Jiu-jitsu.
August 8th, 2010 at 7:54 amAnd to all saying Silva got his ass kicked… try to remember the first UFC editions… Royce fights were pretty much like this one…
Nothing else to say.. the guy tapped…go eat all the Blah-Blah-Blah Sonnen
" I understand Anderson Silva has a nogueira bjj black belt… getting a black belt from the Nogueira brother's is like getting a free toy in a happy meal". Chael Sonnen
August 8th, 2010 at 7:55 amdick-eater alert
August 8th, 2010 at 8:15 amBut anderson silva had a injure rib two weeks before the fight !! next time he gonna be prepared for anybody in the UFC !!
August 8th, 2010 at 8:16 am[...] Backup: 1 [...]
August 8th, 2010 at 8:20 ambut he showed sonnen respect at the end of the fight, by getting on his knees and bowing to him.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:20 amIt`s true my friend, anderson silva went to the fight with broke rib, and chael still not tuf for beat anderson silva !!!
August 8th, 2010 at 8:23 amANDERSON SILVA HAD A BROKE RIBS AND CHAEL STILL NOT TUF FOR BEAT HEM !! HE S A GAY !!! HUHAUHUAH ANDERSON SILVA IS THE BEST !!! NO JONES, NO VITOR, NO BODY !!!
August 8th, 2010 at 8:26 amSo glad Silva won, although after that fight i'd Brock Lesnar them all, fans are so fickle one minute Silva then Sonnen, retards, just as bad as the ones here calling Chael gay or 'not TUF to beat hem' When clearly he's shown he's probably the 2nd best middleweight in the world, close to being first, after that i've newfound respect for him as a fighter still an asshole but still, just like Nelson deserves some credit for being blasted and staying conscious.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:42 amDefinitely. That was the biggest whoopin' Anderson has ever gotten in the UFC.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:46 amI was hoping Silva would get things done for the better part of five rounds. He showed big heart, a solid chin, and great BJJ technique to close out the match. I hope this fight lights a fire for Anderson to train harder and will keep him humble. Props to Chael who IS legit. Rematch is in order, but he should wait in line.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:01 amgreat review
August 8th, 2010 at 9:07 amHey brick head you don't have a fuckin clue.As for Chael being a pussy he would probaly use you as a street sweeper you Knob.For some reason I am getting the impression that you are a Fat dope smoking coach potatoe who is still living off of when he beat up some nerd like pee wee herman in high school.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:11 amSilva let it go for the 5 rounds by letting Sonnen push himself all the way, then that allowed Spider to drop the Triangle, he was truly the Spider enticing Sonnen to keep pushing, Spider was semi rocked only once in the fight. Now thats what you call a REAL CHAMPION let the contender think he's controlling and running the fight then as his guard slips make him pay for it with cutting elbows then the triangle and arm bar making the contender look and feel like a real bitch! Which I guarantee Sonnen feels like now because he put in so much work and effort and still got caught in the Spider's web.
As they say "You can take that to the bank"
August 8th, 2010 at 9:20 amWhy are so many people saying that Sonnen deserves a rematch? It was a brilliant fight and Silva got his ass handed to him for a majority of the fight, but Sonnen still lost legitimately. If it had ended by cut stoppage or something like that, then fair enough, a rematch would be warranted. But he fought well but lost. Should every high profile fight have a rematch a few months down the line? No.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:20 amhey
August 8th, 2010 at 9:33 amSilva is amazing he is like a modern day bruce lee, Silva seeks challenges he knew Sonnen was'nt on his level. Silva allowed Sonnen 2 hit him watch the fight closely people open your minds, silva is very defensive when have u every seen him get hit like that try never he let it happen. Silva didnt end the fight at the last round by asciddent. World Class striking, BJJ Black Belt, and a rock chin unbeatable.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:36 amI'd love to watch the fight closely but the video and all the others have been removed already.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:51 amHa Ha HA HA!!! This UFC showed that Brazilians are done in the UFC. Their best was man handled by a white wrestler, who if he had punch power would have squashed the Spider. White American wrestlers dominate now even being handicapped with the fact that their original "style" has no finishing moves. Some super man bjj huh? Took 22 1/2 minutes to finally get the white guy tired enough so that he made a mistake and didn't posture up.
Go play beach volley ball or go to the NBA. UFC will be dominated by white American wrestlers for the next 10 years. Can you say honkey domination? No? Learn to or get pounded.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:34 amis there another place to watch the vid… access denied on here
August 8th, 2010 at 10:35 amSilva won. Everyone is acting like Chael came out with the victory. C'mon guys don't be so ignorant. This fight goes to show that Silva is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The greatest athletes, even when they are up against it and are struggling, find a way to come out victorious and that's exactly what Silva did. I don't care how "well" Chael did or how much he "beat up" Silva, he lost, and when you talk that much shit about your opponent and lose you don't deserve any respect in my eyes.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:43 amHe beat the, as you say, best pound for pound fighter in the world for 22 1/2 minutes and deserves "NO RESEPECT'. He did everything he said he would do and lost with 120 seconds to a mistake. That tap was no tap it was a near tap but because he is a class fighter he let go the argument. Even Spider didnt stop fighting cause he knew it wasn't a tap.
Anderson won – fact. Anderson is the current champ – fact. Sonnen beat the crap out of him for 22 1/2 minutes and deserves respect for the effort – FACT!
On top of the Sonnen showed Anderson is not superman and the next whte wrestler he faces with just a little more punching power and just a tiny bit more submission counter skill will take the title – FACT !!!
August 8th, 2010 at 10:58 amEVERYBODY FIGHTS HURT!! Rich Franklin score a knock out with a broken arm. Anderson had a boo boo and was so scare he made big deal of it because even he thought he would lose. Everyone loved the fight BECAUSE Sonnen hyped it so much. Sonnen wanted to piss off the Spider and force him to be aggressive so that Sonnen could go for take downs and the Spider fell for it. If Sonnen hadn't gotten so tired from taking down Silva at will and hitting him 10,000 times then he would not have relaxed his posture and been open to the MIRACLE TRIANGLE. That was a hail marry pass and he got lucky. BJJ and Anderson are over rated and no match for White American Wrestlers !!!
August 8th, 2010 at 11:08 amGreat job for chael backing up everything he said. Jon Jones would finish Anderson easy in rd 1.
August 8th, 2010 at 11:12 amYou are so stupid it is amazing you can figure out how to breath. What color is the sky in your world because that fantasy land in which you live has to on weird alien universe. Silva got his but kicked for 22 1/2 minutes and got LUCKY when Sonnen got so tired from hitting Silva that he relaxed his posture and even LUCKIER that Sonnen left his arm hanging and ACCIDENTALLY TAPPED. You can tell it was an inadvertent tap because even Silva doesn't stop fighting for the next 30 – 45 seconds and the two had to be pried apart.
Silva is the A-Rod of MMA, he is Mike Tyson when he fought Buster Douglas, he is gambler in Vegas on a winning streak who doesn't walk away while he is ahead. Silva is a top fighter about to begin the slide down to mid tier. He will lose by being knocked out very soon.
Silva showed he can take a beating, he showed he has a chin, he showed he does not quit till the fight it over, and he EARNED the belt. He also showed his is vulnerable, he can be taken out by strikes (1st round), he can be dominated by ground and pound, he keeps his hands too low and thinks he is too good, and he can be manipulated with mind games prior to the fight.
Both fighters deserve respect for a heck of a fight. Disrespecting Sonnen is saying that Silva got dominated for 4 and 1/2 rounds by an inferior fighter. Do you really think an inferior fighter could do that to Silva? If so then Silva is not much of a champ in your eyes. I think Silva is an amazing fighter that has hands made out of stone, can fight stand up with the best in the world or do ju-jitsu with the best. Like every man on earth he has weaknesses and he showed them last night. In the end he did what a champion does and found a way to win against all odds.
Good fight Sonnen, congratulations Silva. Amazing fight that will be talked about for years.
August 8th, 2010 at 11:38 amUnderstand that Sonnen both hyped the fight and was using pre-fight mind games on Silva. His Muhamed Ali style comments were designed to get Silva to be aggressive so that Sonnen could go for take downs. When you fight mad you fight bad.
Have you ever read about Muhamed Ali? Ever read about his comments on Joe Fraiser, comments that most people consider racist, but because both fighters are black he couldn't be called racist.
Silva literally hid behind the ref in his last fight and clowned around. He said after the fight he did it to show dispresct for his opponent because his opponent had disrepected him with comments. That is okay but pre-fight hype is not? Really?
Ridiculous to be a Sonnen hater because he hyped a fight and tried to get into Silva's head. Judge him on his fight performance.
August 8th, 2010 at 11:51 amwatch here http://www.mmator.com/
August 8th, 2010 at 12:23 pmyou didnt watch right? all the brazilians won
August 8th, 2010 at 12:28 pmChael Sonnen and Agent 86 (get smart)
‘missed by THAT much’
congrats Spider
August 8th, 2010 at 12:40 pmNot a spider fan or a sonnen fan, its clear to see UFC is starting to throw matches in favor of marketing. Think about it, anderson silva would always draw more of a crowed then sonnen becasue not alot of people understand the skill it takes to wrestle.
Throwen fight was throwen
August 8th, 2010 at 12:41 pm[...] Anderson Silva, Chal Sonnen, MMA Video, UFC 117 August 8, 2010 By CMAC Anderson Silva, Chal Sonnen, MMA Video, UFC 117 [...]
August 8th, 2010 at 12:44 pmI’m a fan of Bruce Lee but Anderson Silva is no Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee never fought top competition to prove himself (not saying that AS has had all top competition). Nobody knows if Lee had a good chin. You could say AS is like the movie character Bruce Lee… but that character was never shown to get his butt handed to him for 4 1/2 rounds before his opponent finally makes a mistake.
August 8th, 2010 at 12:50 pmRafael dos Anjos – LOST!
Thiago Alves – LOST!
Ricardo Almeida – LOST!
Junior Dos Santos – barely beat a fat white guy!
Anderson Silva – got beat up for 22 1/2 minutes and got a miracle win!
White American Wrestlers for the win !!!!! 3 out of 5 with the two losses very close but the three wins HonkeyDomination
August 8th, 2010 at 1:00 pmAnderson wasnt himself through this fight, either because of the injury he spoke of or my opinion is that he is losing interest in fighting. With that said the outcome of the fight is what counts. Yes Sonnen won all the prior rounds but to be the champion you have to beat the champion and he didn't!!
August 8th, 2010 at 1:59 pmMan, stop trash talking before Anderson beat u up like he did with Forest =)
August 8th, 2010 at 3:00 pmYou lost bitch! I notice you didn't say "before Anderson beat you up like Sonnen". Why? CAUSE HE GOT POUNDED BY that White American Wrestler and got lucky. Thiago on the other hand suffered the fate all you White haters will suffer, he got dominated and will be forced up to 205 or down several rungs if not out of UFC all together. Now cry more for me . WAH WAH WAH
August 8th, 2010 at 3:08 pmhahahaha..the guy named "irrational racist" made me laugh very hard…when he said that brazilian jiu-jitsu is over remembered me of chael BEFORE the fight,with his psycologic games,tryng to make anderson angry.Come on stupid fag,what arguments do u have to say that white fighters are better than black fighters or vice versa?Fighters who train hard,and find ways to get out of bad situations in the last minute like anderson and many others fighters,black or white,that's what u can call a good fighter.DUMB ASS
August 8th, 2010 at 3:23 pmHAHAHAHA Thiago lost to a White American Wrestler dumb a$$!!! Tonight 3 of the top 5 fights were won by White American WRestlers beat weak ass Brazilains and Blacks !!! This fight a White American Wrestler kicked the top Brazilians butt for 22 1/2 minutes before a Hail Mary triangle caused and ACCIDENTAL TAP!!! Sonnen just has too much class and is too smart to complain knowing it would affect his chance for a rematch. And the top HWT Brazillian barely beat a fat white guy that ISNT even a wrestler on his way to getting crushed by Lesnar who is….. say it with me…… A WHITE AMERICAN WRESTLER!!!!
The brazilians have been training that ju-SHITzu since the 40's and built up a huge stable of fighters. White American Wrestlers have only been training in it for the last 10 years and taking back UFC. Why do you think all the Braziliians like Alves, Silva, JDS and others are now RUNNING TO AMERICA TO TRAIN AND FLEEING BRAZIL??? Where are all the boxers from Mexico and Latin America countries and why aren't they filling the ranks of MMA? Here is a hint ……. WHITE AMERICAN WRESTLERS!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH Por favor pendehos? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Now cut my lawn and pick my lettuce.
August 8th, 2010 at 3:46 pmsilva is one of the best bracilians, jiu.jitsu,fighters
August 8th, 2010 at 4:50 pmahh i wanted sonnen to win.. he dominated anderson all 4 rounds. mad respect for him, i never thought the fight would go on for that long.
August 8th, 2010 at 5:24 pmSonnen said himself, "win or lose, Anderson Silva will know he's been in a fight". I can guarantee Silva's hurting a lot more than Sonnen is today. And I don't buy the Tito Ortiz "injury" bs he pulled at the end.
August 8th, 2010 at 7:32 pmbro..this fight was unveliable..!! silva is the man..
August 8th, 2010 at 7:38 pmhey dave ….for your information im 6'3 195…far from a couch potato…sounds like u dont have clue.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:20 pmyea chael prolly would work me quick..he's a trained fighter..i'd fight em tho…get atleast one good shot in..lol…….i know one thing .im a true MMA fan ..i give chael props for beating silva up for 4 and half rounds but he couldnt finish the job..there for isnt worthy of the belt..hence the triangle….
Shut-up, you fvcking retard.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:28 pmhe didnt tap fuck head …n anderson sux cock
August 8th, 2010 at 8:54 pmthat wasnt a tap fagget..watch it closely it was ment to be a punch…when ur that tired you dont always close you fist…if it was a tap he would have done it more than once
August 8th, 2010 at 8:56 pmNOT WORKING AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
August 8th, 2010 at 9:02 pmIt`s true !!!
August 8th, 2010 at 10:03 pmCan you stop copy pasting the same bullshit comment on every video? If I hear "White American Wrestler" one more time I swear to god…
August 8th, 2010 at 10:38 pmCHUPA Sonnen ,Respeite nosso Jiu-jitsu ,e acima de tudo ,respeite os irmão Nogueira !!!!!!!! BJJ Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2010 at 11:50 pmI like the way you have gone off on a compleate tangent and played the race card, sorry I forgot the word BLACK was banned. Black and Blue is a figure of speach thats all..get over it….no one really cares what colour Anderson Silva is………this is an MMA forum talk MMA save your insecurities for your mummy.
August 9th, 2010 at 1:34 amhe tap fagget! and more anderson silva has a broken rib and still sonnen couldn´t bet him! shannen is a bitch!
August 9th, 2010 at 3:23 amwhat so what your saying is that real fighters talk sheit to get inside their oponents head so they can win ??? you win by training hard and most of the champions are not the ones with the biggest mouth but the humble ones that just poses the skills to finish off their oponent why good job to cheal he got beaten by something silva had for free with his happy meal right plus he couldnt finish him wheil he had the chanche for 20 min he sucks and made a ffool out off himself bigtime next time he fights some one i hope he losses again wonder what he is going to say then
August 9th, 2010 at 3:32 amhaha he wont get a second shot before others do what makes sonnen so special hes big mouth he lost period i wanna see he up agains ggsp and see if he is able to posses middle and welter at the same time i belief anderson is able to beat every man in the world
August 9th, 2010 at 3:35 ami don't see any white american wrestlers holding any titles other than the freak of nature lesnar – that's not even a fair size and strength comparison. sorry bud, but one dimensional fighting cant take you very far….
August 9th, 2010 at 4:04 amIF YOU SUBMITT, YOUR NOT A BITCH BUT YOU ARE DEFEATED. A DECISION IS DIFFERENT FROM SUBMISSION SO HE LOST FAIR AND SQUARE. WHEN ANDERSON IS FULLY HEALED AND IM SURE WE WILL TAKE MORE TIME TO IMPROVE HIS WRESTLING AS WELL, HE WILL BE DEVASTATING TO SONNEN NEXT TIME. BUT THE FACT IS THAT A WOUNDED ANDERSON SHOWED SONNEN WHY HE IS CHAMPION AND HOW HE WORKS THOSE HAPPY MEAL TOYS.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:35 amwith an open palm? bull shit!! that was a tap. i watched it several times cause I,like you originally couldnt tell but the fact that he open handed tapped on andersons hand, thinking its his leg, then tapped his leg after, waited until anderson released his triangle AND THEN started to attack again, just tells me that he didnt have enough oxygen in his body to remember what he did 2 seconds prior.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:44 ampathetic post
August 9th, 2010 at 5:26 amhe tapped twice. a punch inside a triangle? please
August 9th, 2010 at 5:28 amchael ? what are you doing posting here? you must be training
August 9th, 2010 at 5:35 amI can not believe that a joke bothers you so much,save your insecurities for your mummy,watch the conference, Anderson does not have a scratch but your beloved is shattered .(" i bet silva is black and blue now",sure,in your imagination)
August 9th, 2010 at 5:51 amWow, watched it live on PPV and now again on this website. Great fight and Sonnen dominated Silva like no one has before. Although Sonnen didn't get the win, the victory was his. He went out and took the fight to Silva like he said he would and has shown other fighters in the UFC that Silva isn't invincible. Enjoyed his hyping the fight and he may not be too off the mark on Armstrong. When the current investigation is completed on Armstrong, I think he will go down in flames. Don't know about Armstrong giving himself cancer, but he most certainly had to dope. It's well known now that the majority of the GC guys in the peloton were using performance enhancing drugs and Armstrong completely dominated them. Unrealistic to believe he was in that great of shape to dominate all the top level cyclists who were using performance enhancing drugs.
August 9th, 2010 at 5:54 amSad to see for chael. All the fucker had to do was lay on him for 2 miniutes, he got cocky, tried knocking silva out, and it came back to bite him in the ass. Guess its true now, anderson really is the spider, becuase he can take you out in the blink of an eye….god damn…
August 9th, 2010 at 5:55 amok you were joking, I'm so used to some people being idiots on this forum, sorry i take it back, and yes Sonnen is the one black and blue…Silva must be made of rubber!!
August 9th, 2010 at 6:34 amCan viewers of MMAHits.com videos be tracked down and fined by the UFC??
Thanks
August 9th, 2010 at 7:13 amwho has the BELT?
August 9th, 2010 at 8:33 amTHAT'S WHAT MATTERS!
Anderson Silva was in a bad day… and with BROKEN RIBS… if he fight Sonnen again he will not only WIN, as HE DID, but Sonnen will have no chance at all.
August 9th, 2010 at 9:12 amOnly Vitor Belfort and Shogun Rua could in my opinion match with him
Machida too, but he is friends with Anderson and that fight willl never happen.
shane watch it again and honestly tell me that wasn't a tap and if you think that wasn't a tap go find another sport this one might make you think to much……lol
August 9th, 2010 at 9:47 amgood fight want a rematch and guess what spida couldnt play around like he did w/ maia come on bones jones
August 9th, 2010 at 9:56 ami believe anderson was trying to submit chael to prove a point chael talked alot about the legitamacy of andersons bjj black belt he had to do it for the noguirra brothers
August 9th, 2010 at 10:27 amI agree. While I would like to see them fight again I would prefer to see them fight sometime in the future, but not in an immediate rematch. I would much prefer to see a Silva vs. Belfort fight next. Sonnen did a great job, but he got silly at the end, probably should have played it a bit safer to get the win. But I have tons of respect for Sonnen for NOT playing it safe, the dude kept coming and coming, non-stop. He may talk a lot of shit but he backed it up almost the entire fight. Congrats to Silva for having the heart and the skill to win in the end. Awesome fight, but please, no immediate rematch.
August 9th, 2010 at 10:34 amyou do realize that anderson wanted to be taken down right? notice how he was throwing wild jumping head kicks and flying knees, and not setting anything up, nor did he ever sprawl during the takedowns even when he could have, its because he wanted to submit Chael for talking shit about the Nog brothers his best fuckin friends and mentors. Anderson doesnt take kindly to people disrespecting the people he cares about, and that was the worst thing Chael said about Anderson, thats why he came in with his Gi and blackbelt on and thats why he raised his blackbelt and put his Gi on after the victory. To say anderson wasnt wanting chael to take him down is fucking absurd, if you disagree then you really dont know MMA very well. Anderson was not fighting like he was concerned about getting taken down because thats what he wanted. Im not saying he planned to win in the 5th but he definitely was intentionally going to the ground. It is ignorant to say Anderson was trying as hard as he could to keep the fight standing because he absolutely was not.
August 9th, 2010 at 10:58 amexcept he wasnt squirming at all during the entire fight and was wanting to be on the ground obviously.. not once did he scramble or try to get on to his feet.
August 9th, 2010 at 11:01 amyou guys do realize that Anderson wanted the fight to be on the ground right.. Do you guys honestly think that the fact that he entered the octagon with his Gi and blackbelt and after he won he put his Gi on and raised his blackbelt in the air was a coincidence? Remember when Chael called the Nog bros blackbelt a happy meal toy, well Anderson proved Chael wrong and slapped him in the face after the fight by raising the belt at the end of the fight. And if you think he honestly was trying to stay on his feet then explain why the fuck anderson was coming at chael with flying head kicks and flying knees with no set up what soever if he was worried about the take down? Makes no sense that anderson wanted to stay standing. And notice that when he was on his back that he was not moving at all lying flat on his back the whole time. I honestly think he wanted Chael to think he was going to win the fight i.e. him letting Chael jaw him 3 times in the 1st round. He came into this fight wanting a submission to represent the Nog brothers and he made it pretty fucking obvious, he was completely wild and wreckless with his striking showing that he wanted to be taken down to the ground. Noone can convince me otherwise cuz there is no way all of that was just a coincidence. And no I am not biased towards anderson I actually bet 100 dollars on Chael and lost.. I analyzing what I saw and what kind of person/fighter Anderson is. He takes his family and friends very seriously and he came out and proved that Nogueira Jiu Jitsu is legit.
August 9th, 2010 at 11:08 amdude are you fucking retarded, it obviously was a tap if Chael THE ACTUAL GUY WHO DID IT had no objection post fight. He knows he lost he just didnt want to believe it at the moment. You truly have mental issues if you honestly think that wasnt a tap
August 9th, 2010 at 11:14 amGood fight! Sonnen should have took a page out of the outlaws book and refused to tap. He had the win in the bag then taps, only to get out of it a second later. I bet he never taps agian! I guess Silva has had his weakness exposed. For all who think he is the P4P god I guess you my be rethinking that now. I now have totally made up my mind as to who would win between Silva and GSP. There is no question GSP would own Silva!
August 9th, 2010 at 11:45 amIf you looked at the post fight interview, you would see that Silva was dealing with an injury to his rib and the doctor didn't want him to fight, but he still did. He would of ended the fight in the 1st round if his rib wasn't busted. Silva could of did so many armbars and triangles before the 5th round, and if you didn't see how many he could of did, you would be shocked. I feel if Silva was 100%, he would of finished him in the first.
Sonnen is a great wrestler but that is all he is. He doesn't finish anyone on the ground or standing up, and yet again, he didn't finish Silva or even win.
August 9th, 2010 at 12:57 pmis it just me or does it look like anderson threw the fight?
August 9th, 2010 at 1:29 pmThe fight went to the ground several times after Silva got ROCKED on his feet. Sonnen isn't even known as a striker.
August 9th, 2010 at 1:51 pmyou cant see bruises on black skin. everyone here saw silva's whole face get abused
August 9th, 2010 at 3:53 pmYou know that for 4 1/2 rounds Silva was on the ground and could not submit Sonnen. 23 minutes and he could not get that submission. If you are right and he wanted to go to the ground then Silva proved it takes him 5 rounds to get a submission against a guy that doesn't even have a JJ belt. That is an embarrassment for Silva.
Anyone that knows BJJ also know that you don't try to get taken down, you clinch and pull guard. Silva NEVER pulled guard from a clinch. Silva never got a decent sub attempt until there was only 119 seconds left.
While Silva may have preferred to get a submission win he did not kick high to try and get taken down, he did not refuse to sprawl, he was simply beaten on his feet in grappling and was not allowed the chance to pull guard.
I believe that Sonnen's hand tapped by accident, it was a single hit and BOTH fighter kept going for a while till they were forced apart. Whether it was a tap or not, Silva got lucky to even be in a position to get the triangle. Sonnen should have hidden behind the ref like Silva did in his last fight.
August 9th, 2010 at 3:55 pmSonnen did object and in fact BOTH fighters kept going after what people are calling a tap. It was a single, uno, one, solitary hit that could have been him reaching for the leg or any other number of things. Sonnen did the smart thing and dropped the protest knowing that it would cost him a chance for a quick rematch and open him up to criticism because of all the talking he did.
I don't think it was a tap. If you watch or train ju-jitsu or any grappling sport the universal tap is three or more. When you train like that every day for years and years it becomes instinct to tap 3 or more times. You almost CAN'T tap once simply because it is a reflex to do what happens every single day in training.
Not sure if Sonnen could have lasted another 119 seconds and the point is moot since Silva was awarded the win. But it was a single tap. If you say no then take the vid, do slow motion, post it on you tube showing more than one. You can't, it was one.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:03 pmThe Legend of Anderson Silva is complete. He is the greatest UFC fighter of all time!
August 9th, 2010 at 4:04 pmbruises don't show as clearly on a black man as on a white man. Sonnen has scar tissue and walks around with a perpetual black eye. Silva got rocked in the first round and ate a few hard punches and elbows. If you are trying to sell that Silva did not get a scratch you are a sycophant, blind, or delusional.
Sonnen looked worse but Silva took a beating and had bruising but appears to have taken less damage then Sonnen.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:10 pmIt's idiotic. That was not all planned by Silva. He had a 119 seconds left. Silva did show the heart of a true champion, but he did it by OVER COMING the beating by Sonnen and in an act of desperation finding a way to win. That was a war between two skilled fighters and the Spider narrowly escaped being squashed.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:15 pmWhen a BJJ fighter wants to go to the ground they don't do flying kicks, they pull guard. Silva may have wanted sub but saying that he kicked wildly to get to the ground is insane.
As far as proving his BJJ skills, he should be ashamed. He wasn't able to even get an attempt at a sub for 23 minutes.
Silva showed the heart of a true champion but this fiction about him letting it all happen this way is just fiction.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:34 pmEvery fighter fights injured because they train that hard. Fight doctors, by law, will not let a fighter go into a fight with an injury that substantial and put the fighter at risk, which a broken rib would. He had a bruised rib. Rich Frankln won a knock out victory with a broken wrist, and the list of fighters that are hurt and fight goes on.
But no fighter goes into the ring with a significant injury that would be detected by the fight doctor in the pre-fight examination. Sore ribs is Silvas way of trying to explain why he couldn't use his finishing skills or BJJ to even attempt a sub for 23 minutes against a guy that is "just a wrestler" and has not ju-jitsu belt.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:39 pmjust you
August 9th, 2010 at 4:40 pmHe did not have a broken rib. Every fighter must be examined by a state commissioning fight doctor. If that fight doctor finds the fighter has a substantial injury. like a broken rib, then he can not fight by law.
Anderson had sore ribs. Chael had a black eye from training a few days before the fight. EVERY fighter fights injured because they train so hard.
You can not apply a triangle or arm bar with a broken rib, the pain would make you pass out.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:44 pmBrick you called Chael a "big mouth pussy" in your first post. Can you explain how that is you "giving him props"? Also "fuck Chael" seems not to be props.
Do you know props means "proper respect"? Maybe that is the confusion. You thought it meant calling a guy a pussy for going 23 minutes dominating the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Maybe be the second best 185 pound fighter in the world makes you a pussy. Maybe backing up every word you said about pushing the champ for 5 rounds, making him fight the whole time, hitting him in the face every second, was not sufficient to earn him enough respect to not be a pussy.
You then admit that you would be beaten to a pulp by said pussy. This would make you lower than a pussy which would make you an asshole.
I give you props …………..
August 9th, 2010 at 4:54 pmthen try to go fight him then pussy
August 9th, 2010 at 5:38 pmPS ur a fagget
August 9th, 2010 at 5:38 pmwhite??? american????
August 9th, 2010 at 6:31 pmyou say chael nuthuggers?? then why are you hugging anderson silva's nuts so tight that your practically making out with them??
August 9th, 2010 at 6:40 pmEven silva wins. thats a very bad perfomance for him. its lame… get beating like that and won like that? not that impresive. knockout is impresive or dominating the whole fight. like sonnen does. anyway silva won so good for him i dont hink he will get that lucky next time.
August 9th, 2010 at 7:51 pmI think sonnen drew the blueprint on how to beat silva, silva got the W, no debates there.
now i would really like to see gsp vs anderson, if he could just put on those extra weight and muscles i think gsp really has a good chance on beating silva,
gsp has better GnP than sonnen, no doubt about that. he would attack with elbows submissions and punches.
August 9th, 2010 at 7:54 pmdo you honestly believe he wanted to go to the ground to make an example of him???? if he wanted to show off like that, he wouldnt have gotten on his knees after the fight and bow to chael sonnen?? if he truly did wanted that, he wouldnt even look at sonnen, but he bowed to him for the ass whoppin he had to endure for the first time in years
August 9th, 2010 at 8:07 pmindeed your the only on this
August 9th, 2010 at 8:10 pmi never thought i would see silva tossed around and see a man use him to clean the matt. damn what a great fight sonnen beat the shit out of the spider. but the spider showed why he is the best pound for pound in the world.
August 9th, 2010 at 8:51 pmi dont think vitor can beat the spider. i still think the only one that can beat the spider is nate the great. if he had 5 rounds with sonnen i bet nate the great would hav finished sonnen in the 4th round he already had sonnen hurt after round 3. nate the great demolished a damian m. a man silva could not finish.
long story short the only man that can beat the spider in his division is nate the great
if the spider moves up in wieght he is the match for the man they call shogun.
If he wanted to use it as an excuse he would of stated it before the fight. He won, and then said it. If anything, he is laughing in his head thinking, "wow i just beat this douche with broken ribs!"
August 9th, 2010 at 10:46 pmI ABSOLUTELY KNEW ANDERSON SILVA WOULD WIN! HE'S THE MAN. AS FOR YOU IRRATIONAL RACIST, YOU ARE NOT A WINNER…ITS TIME TO GET OVER YOUR CONFLICT, ITS 2010. GET OVER YOUR INSECURITIES JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SAD EXCUSE FOR A LIFE DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD HATE ON OTHERS BASED ON RACE YOU LOSER! oh…and by the way, YOURE PROBABLY JUST JEALOUS CAUSE ANDERSON SILVA IS FIT AND YOUR A FAT SLOB.
August 9th, 2010 at 11:25 pmI FUCKING HATE SONNEN… JUST THE UFC NEEDS ANOTHER FIGHTER WHO JUST LAYS ON TOP OF SOMEBODY ALL FIGHT LONG… ALSO THE REFEREE LOST COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE FIGHT… HE SHOULD STOOD THEM UP SO MANY TIMES THRU OUT THE FIGHT … AND WASNT EVEN SURE IF IT WAS A TAP OR NOT… GO HOME YOU FAGGOT AND NEVER COME BACK
August 10th, 2010 at 1:01 amok fan boys let all calm down …. look silva was beating the entire fight without question … do not get me confused with a sonnen fan wiwither i think he can hype up a fight like no other fighter in any sport … but he whooped spiders ass , silva was eating all the punches thrown at him and kept moving forward until he was ultimately taken down but in the fifth he caught chael while chael threwn down a blow and anderson superior bbjj was the reason he won great fight insane finish legendary all the way …. and for you guys who think their will be a rematch NO belfort was suppose to fight on 112 and he has been waiting that fight will be excellent as well 2 strikers in a title fight that will happen hopefully in december
August 10th, 2010 at 1:30 amsoonen taped like a bitch. That triangle was coming. The way soonen gnp's silva could have triangled him round 1.
August 10th, 2010 at 4:59 amFreud would just say: "Cut the crap, you're just wishing hard for a Black Brazilian to ground and pound your weak White American asshole with a big 22-inch black cock!"
August 10th, 2010 at 5:33 amNothing wrong with that; just say so and stop cruising here for a date, ok?
Some things that may had influence on the fight:
1. A lot of people is saying that "if Sonnen had kept his composure for just two more minutes" (sherdog.com). The problem for Sonnen were the punches and elbow strikes from the bottom by Anderson. Those shots had a big impact in Sonnens composure during the last 2 rounds. He was on top but also defending a lot (Sonnens face shows a lot), leaving the oportunity for the submission.
2. Anderson never tried that move during the fight until then. Just a coincidence?
3. Silva's injured ribs: true or not? I didnt know nothing about that but spoted immediately at the end of round 1, when he reached his corner, that there was something wrong with his right upperside body (check the fight video; its pretty visible: Anderson pointed there). I say yes.
4. Class. What else can i say when a guy is on top for 23 min of the fight against an injured oponent, ground and pounding and cannot finish the fight? Because if its not the case, then Silva is really inhuman.
5. The ending. Just like that last second NBA shot that wins the title. Even Michael Jordan had bad games but was always there, whith his mind focused to decide it.
So, i think that Sonnen was 100%, gave his best but just wasn't enough against a 60% Silva. Its curious how Silva performs badly (and lost in the past) with some average fighters. I think that in 10 fights against each other, this is the best Sonnen can do – and yes, he was damn close. Whith Silva in top shape, i still think that Sonnen has no chances. But hey, Silva's not getting younger, so…
August 10th, 2010 at 6:28 amwatch the one at the very bottom.
August 10th, 2010 at 9:25 amsilva is the p4p best in the world, fuck the haterz out there. I can't wait till anderson puts gsp in his place. CAN'T WAIT!

August 10th, 2010 at 1:16 pmanderson got lucky he got his ass kicked the entire match lol sometimes i wonder if its paid off.
August 10th, 2010 at 2:47 pmOs gringos tão mordidos porque o Spider ganhou… e ele tava com a costela detonada… imagine se estivesse bem.
August 10th, 2010 at 3:25 pmAe gringada chupa que essa é toda de vocês !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Eu acredito que na revanche Anderson Silva em vez de lutar com a costela quebrada vai lutar com o braço direito quebrado, e ainda assim vai vencer o retardado do Sonnen, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
August 10th, 2010 at 3:31 pmI believe in revenge Anderson Silva instead of struggling with bruised ribs will fight with his right arm broken, and will still win the retarded Sonnen HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
August 10th, 2010 at 3:33 pmand your illiterate
August 10th, 2010 at 4:32 pmI'm sure there's plenty of guys your size who could get their ass whooped by most people. Anyone who brags about their size & weight is a fuckin' joke.
August 10th, 2010 at 5:43 pmi dont think silva will take this victory as a positive, im sure people around him will tell him that he needed a real test and shit but i think it will haunt him in the long run, he will have alot of doubts about his abilities at this stage of his career, he will win more fights but a few losses are on the horizon if he doesnt train his ass off and under estimates his opponents.
August 10th, 2010 at 8:44 pmor he could come back crazy like jsp and kickass!
August 10th, 2010 at 8:47 pmgsp doh
August 10th, 2010 at 8:50 pmyour clearly gay and blind shannen is a boss
August 10th, 2010 at 9:28 pmeveryone who reckons : it was a lucky sub or it wont happen in the rematch or he wont make that mistake again or whatever else….hows this for a dose of reality? sonnen has fought jeremy horn (remember him?) three times. he has lost to jeremy horn, three times.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:05 amsonnen is a douche. he didnt just offend silva in his smack talk but also ALL of silvas previous opponents… including Dan Henderson who sonnen apparently doesnt regard as a decent wrestler (despite Dan ACTUALLY compete(ing?) in the olympics rather then being an alternate). he also offended the entire 205 pound division saying its a joke and a karate guy is champ…and offending the Nog bros saying earning their blackbelt is like getting a happy meal toy…
how blind are sonnen supporters and what bullshit has to come from his mouth before you realise he is nothing but a bitter, perpetual runner up.
im not agreeing with the racist, but frankie edgar is also a white wrestler. and gsp is technically white.
August 11th, 2010 at 5:30 pmChael didn't do shit but try to take Anderson Silva down but still lost, i wonder how he feels now that Silva won because he said in one of his video that Silva will nt get pass him….lol, very funny!
August 11th, 2010 at 6:34 pmSonnen is a LOSER. The guy managed to stay on top almost the entire fight and not only did he LOSE, he got the crap beat right out of him. Look at andersons face and look at chael's. Just goes to show, a hundred sloppy punches don't equate to a few razor sharp acurate elbows. SILVA IS THE MAN
August 11th, 2010 at 7:52 pmI dunno what all the speculation about the tap is.. it was an obvious tap… I mean who the hell punches a leg, especially in that weak ass position….
August 11th, 2010 at 9:03 pmIn response to all the respected Sonnen fans of course Silva can be beaten who and when? who knows but lets see if there is another fighter like him that wins 12 in a row in UFC s history and holds the belt for such a long time, lets see if Sonnen or Jones can do that . The fight was a surprise for everyone I think Silva did not fight his best , he was also with a rib injury prior to the fight that was cracked in the first round also there was family issues going on in his personal life as well at the same time Sonnen gave it all and I think there may be a re- match although re-matches usually happen only when the win was controversial not when the fight was FINISHED. So I hope Sonnen understands now what is having a belt from the Nogueira brothers .
August 11th, 2010 at 9:16 pmJon Jones may have had the opportunity but every fight is different besides Anderson did not fight his best coming with a rib injury that was cracked in the first round and he kept fighting . Now do i think Jones would accomplish 12 wins in a row in the UFC like Anderson and be the champion since 2006 i don't think so.Talk is easy try beating Anderson is not easy
August 11th, 2010 at 9:27 pmJust for your knowledge my friend 40 % of the belts are held by Brazilians in the entire sport . And by the way Anderson finished the fight period with a broken rib and other personal issues that did not make cancel the fight. Also please understand that the top 5 fighters in the world DO NOT HAVE wrestling background. Also the most domminant fighters as far as holding titles were not wrestlers either . And by the way this is the second time Anderson submits American olypian wrestlers first was Dan Henderson. Anyway just wanted to inform you . and BTW the most dominant Beach volley ball players in history until 2010 were RIcardo Santos and Emmanuel Rego from Brazil . I hope you get your stats better next time
August 11th, 2010 at 9:39 pmWhat is your complex man it is actually funny is it that you think whites can t fight or something ?. Dude as I said before look at the stats and trust me they were white all my props to the whites too unfortunatly 40 % of the titles in the entire Sport are held by Brazilians so JIU JITSU is the mother of the arts for MMA . Wrestling is good but make very boring fights kind of like stalling and just getting the points to win .
August 11th, 2010 at 9:46 pmi guess silva is a bitch for tapping in Japan…twice.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:56 pmare you retarded ?
i already seen this live, but you just completely spoiled the fight 3 comments down for every who hasn't seen it yet.
admin or editor or whatever should delete blatant spoilers like that

August 12th, 2010 at 6:08 amI found the video on "freaky gossip"-Dont know if attached link is right http://www.freakygossip.com/2010/08/watch-anderso…
What a shame for Sonnen he battered silva for four rounds then got punished for showing the heart of a true warrior and champion by making the mistake of trying to win the final round instead of playing it safe and just doing what he needed to do to get through it since he had the points in the bag.So i cant understand the people who are knocking him and saying what a great champion Silva is? He just got outfought and battered for four rounds then got lucky that Sonnen got careless.Okay give him credit for the skill involved in getting the submission but he just got totally outclassed and outfought for four whole rounds they werent even close!!!!
August 12th, 2010 at 2:33 pmMy hero too.Loved his ego and trash talking and he tottaly backed it up in the ring.True warrior !!!!
August 12th, 2010 at 2:36 pmtotally and utterly agree.True fighter and warrior.As the film goes he never backs down or takes a backward step
August 12th, 2010 at 2:38 pmSilva was just playing with Sonnen in the first few rounds..as Dana White wants the fight to appear more competitive and make sure the Silva vs Griffin won't happen again.
Silva did make the fight less one-sided and make it more interesting…
August 12th, 2010 at 10:28 pmSONNEN IS A PUSSY, AND GOT HIS MOUTH SHUT, NEXT TIME HE TALKS SHIT HE WILL LAND IN THE HOSPITAL. MIRKO GONA FUCK HIM UP
August 12th, 2010 at 11:41 pmWhy would he need to makes excuses………he won! And I don't like how that every time at fighter says anything about being hurt people start saying, "oh he's making excuses". Why is it so hard to believe that these guys do get hurt in training? So think about it….there's guys that trained Anderson for this fight. Those guys will hear his "made up" excuses and be able to reveal his lies when they leave and go train at other schools. These are not made up. If he would have mentioned it before the fight everyone would have said…Oh he's setting up his excuse already. Or He's making up lies because he's afraid to fight Chael. So it's a lose lose situation for a fighter.
August 13th, 2010 at 10:55 amTalk about fighters as if you're standing next to one. I guarantee you're tone would change if anderson silva was staring you down right now (; You feel safe at home trashing the people who could absolutely wipe the floor with you?? Hah, go eat a twinkie.
August 13th, 2010 at 10:33 pmLOL.. i swear silva got beat 4 of the 5 rounds they fought but wtf the face of chaels looked like hes the one who got beat up, while silva stills looks fresh and ready to fight another round… why does he want to fight silva on the ground when he knew silvas original game style was on the ground.. back in pride.. i only saw him fight standin up is when he started fighting in UFC… chaels a moron for thinking he can win against silva on the ground…
August 14th, 2010 at 10:26 amI don't care what anyone says anderson silva's guard looked horrible, the comment about his BJJ black belt seems warranted. Chael backed up his smack talk, got all the respect in the world for the guy even though he lost.
WORK YOUR SUB DEFENSE CHAEL!
August 15th, 2010 at 3:40 amcome on, give credit where it is do, besides, no one will, or can fight with broken ribs, you would know this ifyou ever broke, or even cracked one.. Sonnen did a fine job, especially being considered a substand fighter when compared to Silva. Ahh you don't mention Silva getting dinked on the chin that put him on the ground, your ribs didn't cause that! Admittedly Sonnen is not a ground and pound guy, and it is very fortunate for Silva that he was not, or he may just have been retired.
August 15th, 2010 at 12:12 pmsilva hurt his ribs a few days before the fight
August 18th, 2010 at 2:49 pmSilva is the best striker in mma next to bj penn. I dont see anyone that can really out strike with silva. Dana was trying to give silva hell finding someone like sonnen who willing to bring it to him. we all know thats silva's weakness was his strength, with injury rib that should give silva more tougher time. Its one of those unlucky time
August 19th, 2010 at 4:57 pmsome fighters had to fight injury.Should silva have a rematch with sonnen, i think silva would be alot more ready
physically.
If it was Sonnen fighting Maia like this in this fight, it doesnt surprise me that sonnen had been sub. for multi of time by maia. He did some wild punches that silva could have done better.
August 19th, 2010 at 5:16 pmyeah……prepared……..unbeatable………next time ……… where have i heard this?…..oh yeah! shogun vs machida 2! it doesnt matter , machida was supposed to be ultra ready and more focused and blah, blah, blah, but the outcome was different!! so dont come and say that "oh next time he wont be able to do what he did to anderson!!!"
August 20th, 2010 at 2:21 pmfucc all u fags …tuff on the internet….pussies in reality….SILVA'S DA MAN….
August 21st, 2010 at 8:17 pmagain, not agreeing with the racists, but lesnar, cruz, faber, brown, rashad, rmpage. all have wrestling backgrounds that i know for sure of, all of them have been/are champs
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:01 pmamen thiago. and racist, that fat guy happens to be a former ifl champ. so he's not a pushover. i have respect for ALL fighters, regardless of ethnicity. all i care about are fighters who act like the shit, talk smack, and then don't back it up. chael talked a bunch of smack, but he definately backed it up, dominating for a while. for all the people who say that it was a tiny mistake that chael made that caused him to be submitted, well DUH! that's at least half of mma, capitalizing on every mistake your oppenent makes. it was a great fight. oh yea, and racist, you know that everybody is wishing that you get raped by a bunch of brazilians, while we all just laugh.
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:10 pmHell yeah!!!
September 1st, 2010 at 2:54 pmChael done all that but he looked like he had the hell beat out of him at the end of the night.. Anderson looked fine.
September 1st, 2010 at 2:58 pm[...] This is the worst kind of Monday Morning Quarterbacking, I know, but I just have to say: I TOTALLY CALLED THAT. If you go through the archives and re-watch all of Silva’s fights (as I did before this [...]
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:01 pmgreat game for silva! when both of them are down on the last round, i saw anderson sneak a punch on chael that rocked him bad. that is why silva was able to submit him. he lost his composure for a few sec and silva sumbitted him.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:01 pm"I don't care what anyone says anderson silva's guard looked horrible, the comment about his BJJ black belt seems warranted. Chael backed up his smack talk, got all the respect in the world for the guy even though he lost.
WORK YOUR SUB DEFENSE CHAEL!"
Problem is, Chael never learns his lesson. He did the exact same stupid thing againt Palo Pilho, when Pilho was considered the best Middleweight in MMA. Dominated Pilho for almost two rounds then got submitted because he was too stupid to get out of Pilho's guard. Fool him once, shame on you, fool him twice and it proves hes a fool.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:02 amWatch GSP vs Koscheck the first episode of the Ultimate Fighter: http://www.mmatko.info/tuf-12-episode-1/
September 16th, 2010 at 6:19 pmI do give credit to sonnnen but if you break a rib your not as elusive so andersons ducks and bob's and weaves were not nearly as effective thats why sonnen caught him so much… Great fight tho
