Sonnen talked all that mess. He should really leave UFC. I would watch Sonnen vs Rockhold

Well I called Anderson winning via TKO in the 3rd, guess I was off 1 round. I wanted Sonnen to win, it was disappointing, bet he regrets throwing... what ever the that was.

Oh btw, this a big you to anyone who said Sonnen couldn't take down and control Silva with out his "injury". Needless to say great job by Anderson capitalising on the opportunity.

This fight didn't really answer any of the questions I had. I mean it was more of the same. Sonnen dominating, makes a mistake, Silva capitalizes.

Silva haters will never accept that he's the most dominant figure in the UFC.
Chael was in that position twice before Yves called it, it's not smart blocking if you're just covering your head taking shots. More importantly HE knows he lost because he looked like someone just died.
Better fighter won, end of story and let's move on.

I was a little hesitant so I didn't blow the roof off, but the replays did CLEARLY show that the knee, and every area of Anderson's leg even CLOSE to the knee, hit Chael square in the body. Yes, Anderson really does have that kind of laser-accuracy. That said, normally at this point when one of my favorite fighters win I'd be flipping the out, especially since it's Anderson, but right now I just feel calm. I think Anderson has cemented his legacy as the greatest MMA fighter ever. We saw the real Anderson throughout this entire thing: he was legitimately pissed, but he legitimately wanted to prove that he (and to a larger extent, Brazil) has honor and respect in the end, even if some mistakes (the shoulder check) were made along the way. Silva probably wanted to kill Chael before stepping foot into the Octagon, but I think he realized what it's all about after getting the win: it's about the sport. Hate if you must, but before I considered myself a true MMA fan, I considered myself an Anderson Silva fan. He is, without a doubt in my mind, the best ever. Thank you, Anderson. He was one of the driving forces that got me into MMA, and many decades later, I'll have a lot of fun stories to share about how I loved being an Anderson Silva fan. Greatest of all time, period. I'm out!

Anderson played him like a fiddle. Let Chael gain overconfidence in the first, but not take any substantial damage, then finish him in the second. There really shouldn't have been any doubt, Chael is not even worthy of holding Anderson's jock.
But the way Anderson dodged that fake left then spinning back fist, WOW! The Spider reigns supreme.

The mistake being he swung, missed, slipped and landed in a very venerable position. - That's not to take anything away from Anderson, that's all part and parcel in the fight. That first round answered a lot in my opinion.

The only way Sonnen got on the ground was he over committed and whiffed on whatever the hell he tried to throw, his momentum made him fall, not Silva, that's a pretty big mistake. Not sure why you're laughing, Sonnen was def. up on the scorecard.

Silva straight swayed and ducked the backfist. Did you not see it? haha.
But go ahead. Keep denying a dude who hasn't lost a single fight in the UFC.

Um no one is denying Silva here, I know you're loving this moment right now, fair enough I basked in the glory of Fedors defeats. With that said it's fair enough to say Sonnen made a big mistake when he slipped and paid the price for it. It happened, nuff said. Again, hats off to Anderson. EDIT: Can we all agree that Sonnen should be banned from spinning elbows/fists? That thing was... yea... xD

Even if this is true it's not like he planned on that making Sonnen eat it. Silva's supposed head duck was a defensive move, lets not turn it into the most brilliant MMA move of all time. Guy swings, you duck, that's like MMA day 1. I'm not sure how anyone on either side walks away from this satisfied.

But you said Sonnen lost just because of that. He was getting all of his takedowns stuffed in round 2 and could not mount any offense.
Dude gets FULL MOUNT on Silva and still couldn't do sh*t. Yeah. That told me a lot.
