silva got lucky

[FUZO]

Tweetchael beat his ass for 4-3/4 rounds and got caught. But he took it to silva he knocked silva down and beat him up but just got caught. The remarks about silva and his ribs,bull shit lame ass excuse . also chael could of stalled and just layed on top of him but he didnt he kept taking it to silva like a true fighter . So if anyone here thinks chael has not earnd the respect he deserves there crazy. chael sonnen beat silva in my eyes. Just because he got caught doesnt mean to me he lost the fight he just got caught. Silva lost the fight and got beat. And listening to his remarks after the fight about his ribs makes me sick. There was nothing wrong with his ribs. If theres a downfall for chael is that he doesnt stop or gives up or stalls. He has been in this siutation before were he was winning every round and gets caught with little time left. Chael backed his words and beat silva but just got caught



GREAT JOB CHAEL

TweetYEAH, IM GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE BRING IT TO SILVA LIKE SONNEN DID! FINALLY MADE HIM WORK FOR THE MONEY INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM HIS OPPONENTS

SONNEN DID HAVE THAT FIGHT WON! HE GOT CAUGHT IN A TRIANGLE AND AN ARMBAR AND TAPPED AND DIDNT EVEN REALIZE IT

[jipped genes]

Tweetnothing lucky about that triangle. watch the fight agin. silva was settting that up the whole time. he had chaels wrist pushed down near his own belly button. thats the first step of a triangle.

then when he went for it chael pulled his arm out rather than smashing it in. he pulled it out all the way and gave that triangle to silva.

then he messed up on the escape and fell to his side rather than his back.

silva beat chael.

i picked chael to win and think he is a badass but he has shown he is succeptable to the triangle and lost to maia by triangle.

silva showed heart after getting pounded and owned by still fighting and not giving up

he is called the spider because of his BJJ, not because of his muay thai

Exactly. If there was any luck in that fight it's that Sonnen was lucky he didn't get submitted earlier. That sub was there ALL NIGHT LONG!! We were screaming at the tv for a triangle or arm bar and Anderson seemed to never attempt it. He did pretty good on the ground but wasn't as aggressive as I thought he should have been. He controlled Chael's posture very well and got back o guard about every time. I think this just shows that Anderson does have cardio and heart and the fight to win, etc....

With that being said, Chael had him beat for sure. He won 4.5 rounds, but you can't make those mistakes. He was begging to be submitted all night. WIth all of the crap that he said pre-fight, he backed it up and you can't take that away from him. And big props to Chael for not making any excuses after the fight....although he did try to act like he didn't tap when the ref stopped it....again. He has done that before.


I really can't believe that Anderson didn't throw any knees on the takedown attempts? Is that not crazy? I can believe that he had a rib injury because the lack of the strikes that he always uses. But I don't think it's something he should have said.

TweetYeah all he had to do in the last round was lay on him but he is a tough dude and wanted to keep pounding and not have anyone say anything.. but he got caught.. sucks ass.. I say IMMEDIATE REMATCH

exactly if any cant see that silva got lucky then your just a huge fan of the spider and a huge fan of bjj.No man takes a beating like that and then with a minute left wins and then says its not luck.Every bjj guy is always trying for a submission. Chael could of just layed on silva but didnt and stayed true to his word and beat down silva with ease.And chael will get even better and I hope to see a rematch

TweetIt's not luck when the submission was there ALL NIGHT LONG! It's lucky that it didn't happen earlier. I am sorry that Sonnen couldn't take out Anderson because I know there are a ton of haters out there that wanted to see him lose. There have been many fights end the same way throughout the years and no one calls them luck. It seems like every KO or submission here lately has been called lucky and that is just ridiculous IMO. If Silva was not a BJJ guy and was not known for having a ground game, then you could call it lucky. But not with a Black belt in BJJ.

If you compare faces, Sonnen got the worst of the damage if you ask me. At the end of one round, there was blood all over his face.

TweetOne of the craziest fights i have seen, it was just so one sided. Silva can def take a punch thats for sure. I couldnt believe how fast Sonnen was taking silva down every round. Maybe Silva took a page out of Brocks handbook; get your azz beat then when your opponent is least expecting it pounce! I wonder what Steven Segal said afterward? "You should have used the neck death chop in round 1!"

[tn94z]

TweetSonnen, who has no standup hit Anderson more than anyone else while standing....if that doesn't show that something was wrong with Anderson, then you are crazy. No way sonnen of all people is the one that catches Anderson in the standup.

Sonnen goes on a losing streak now and we don't hear anything else from him

you are now acting like the biggest chael hater,no fighter has ever took it to silva like chael did,no where in that fight did silva grimise or ache in pain or grab his side or tell his corner about broken ribs. You can keep telling yourself that silva was hurt. The victor goes to chael for doing what no fighter has ever did to silva. Silva got beat down. Has the crowd ever chanted USA USA or CHAEL to beat silva,no never because chael just gained a huge fan base now

How? I have given sonnen all the props for taking it to him and backing up his words. But I can't give him the win when he lost. How stupid would that be? Who cares what the crowd was chanting? That means nothing to me. Half the crowds boo when it goes to the ground....I put no merit in anything crowds do

TweetAnderson got beat in the standup plain and simple, and i was VERY surprised. Sonnen just looked SO MUCh stronger to me. Im not saying Sonnen is gonna walk through people or anything, and he has shown time and again that he can be winning a fight and give up a sub, but who in MW is gonna beat him? Bisping? Sonnens wrestling skills are good enough to beat most guys in MW i think as long as he doesnt get submitted.

I really agree. Anderson is going to have to do something with his takedown defense or he will lose. Sonnen shouldn't make that mistake again. Surely he has learned from it by now
