Here you go Danimal. Not exactly a spinning back fist, but similar idea of a non-standard strike.



Maybe I've been out of UFC for too long, but didn't Sonnen look about 20 years older than the last time he fought Silva?

Everything would of had to go perfect for Sonnen to win. Chael knew this and by the 2nd it was evident that he had no cards left to play. I really wanted him to have a good showing but hope and trash talk don't win fights. Silva showed why there's no one out there even close to him right now.

You can't saw that just like before the last 8sec of the first match between these two you couldn't say that Silvia had nothing for Sonnen because we all know what happened there. I'm just saying I would have liked to see that one go a little bit further so there was no question. A quick stoppage like that always leaves doubts on what could have happened especially when Sonnen was winning all but the last 8 seconds of the previous fight and on my score card was ahead again in this fight. Things can chance in an instant and I feel like that fight had a lot more fight left in it.

I think all that he's gone though personally has aged him horribly.

I think Silva was out of character in the 1st. Sonnen had gotten in his head pre-fight. When's the last time you saw Anderson come out swinging like that at the start of the match? Chael capitalized on that big time. I agree with you, I would love to have seen that fight go longer.

You guys don't understand, watch the fight over! Round one was all to get Chaels confidence up. He took him down got a mount and didn't prove anything. Anderson silva was laying there with his eyes closed. Second round, he came out and tried to take him down and couldn't do it!!! I know some of you guys have had to wrestle? So tell me when have you taken someone down at will and one min later are unsuccessful in getting a takedown? It makes perfect sense and e gameplay was executed flawlessly! I'm glad he got the shit beat out of him!

Not only do I think that this fight had a lot more to go, I think that the ref jumped in there a little early. Sonnen was not improving his position, but the blows he was taking were not what I would consider to be devastating. The knee to the chest landed hard, but it looked like the ground and pound was hitting gloves and wrists more than face. If the ref would have waited another 5 - 10 seconds maybe Sonnen would have countered or used his superior ground game to at least stop Silva's attack. Or maybe he would have been KO. It would have been nice to see it go to its true conclusion.

What superior ground game? I have not seen this ground game that you speak of!

I remember commenting during the fight that Silva looked like he was meditating and just letting Sonnen wear himself out.

What about Forrest Griffen doing his little bitch fit that he does every time he loses, then being called back into the ring because he won? I used to really like Forrest, and I understand being passionate, but at least man up enough to stay in the damn ring.

OH YEAH! Didn't Sonnen call Silva out and say that if he lost again he would quit the UFC forever?

He sure did.
