Silva Vs Sonnen

[Cylinder Head]

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.

Sonnen is a great wrestler, but he does not have what I would call a great ground game. He's been submitted ten times.

For those who are saying this fight could have turned out like the first, do you guys realize that in the first fight:

1. Chael was on steroids.
2. Silva had broken ribs.
3. Silva still won.

Um that's not a superior ground game and also won rounds only count in descions! LOL! That's everyones argument.... "he won 5 rounds" in 2 fights and his loss column sell reads loss to A Silva by submission and Loss to A Silva by TKO! You can't be one dimensional and beat the best and he needs to take his weak ass ground and pound and throw it in the garbage!

Silva-2....Sonnen-0

Sonnen is lucky to be able to keep competing. Silva is out of his league and te best we have seen yet.
