Yeah, and then he slips like a damn cow on ice, lol.

Sonnen showed in the 1st round that he's capable of dominating a healthy Silva. Silva's takedown defense was a gazzilion times better, though. I honestly don't know how to feel about this fight. It was flukey that Sonnen slipped, but it wasn't flukey that Silva defended against the two takedown attempts in the second round. If Sonnen can't take him down, he doesn't stand a chance.

All I know is that I'm completely unsatisfied with the fight.

It's too bad we didn't get to see any of the Seagal training in the Sonnen fight tonight.

That fight was garbage. Sonnen should have raped.

So any predictions on who the next "champ" will be that goes down?

JDS
Jones
Silva
GSP
Henderson
Aldo
Cruz

All of them look like they could hold on to the titles for awhile. Maybe Silva just because age catches up to him or retirement? Maybe Rashad drops down and can lay and pray for 5. 155 is a pretty tough class so maybe Henderson?

Im not a sonnen fan, but there was some blatant cheating going on by Silva.The first round rocked him and it sucks he resorted to this......... absolutely no reason to hang on to his shorts out of the refs view for 30 sec.

IIRC the ref saw it and told him to stop.

30 sec later after he was controlling Sonnen with it for that long and rock him with that punch i posted. You see him re-position when they spin to try keep it out of the refs view. That's when the ref finally caught it and told him to stop.

Lets just ignore the fact that Chael Raked Andersons eyes in the first round.

Pulling on his shorts had nothing to do with Chael getting hit and going Fetal.

Thats the name of the game. He was warned. Thats how it works.

By no means am I a Sonnen fan............ I am just saying it's sad Silva resorted to being dirty to win. He might as well be a Bronco!

I'll agree with you on that the knee to to body was legit :thumb:

Hes pulling him towards him WHILE Sonnen is shooting. Not sure how that helps him.

I know Anderson Silva was just trying to be classy after the fight by making up with Sonnen, but with as much shit talking Sonnen did I wish he just would have let him be. The BBQ invitation was stupid.

All i am saying is he blatantly held his shorts for 30 sec to a min controlling Sonnen. That is blatantly illegal to do which Silva clearly knows as he re-positions to try to keep the hold while attempting to keep it out of the refs view.

Don't forget the ref wiping the excess vaseline off before the 1st. It was pretty clear he was willing to do everything and anything to avoid getting the beating he got last time.

Because he's a fat pile of goo, and a complete douche bag.
