Why are people believing chael sonnen worked silva?
Sure he pounded him for rounds but did it seem suspicious that every takedown sonnen got silva let happen and didnt try to sprawl? Also sonnen was inside of silva's guard like the whole fight and silva didnt attempt to get up, surely he could have got up if he tried. Also that kimora that silva had locked in tight that would have stopped the fight with out a doubt in the second round he just let go, i mean c'mon it was locked in and chael couldnt do anything about it. And finally it just looked like no effort from silva, he has quickly became from one of my favorites to my least favorite because he dont try, if he dont win handely his next fight he should be dropped. And nobody in their right mind should believe sonnen actually took him down with skill it was because silva didnt try... no heart and no effort makes bad fights especially when the other guy talks crap and you dont try

The fight was fixed. Chael Sonnen came into the fight with the perfect game plan and was more aggressive than Silva other opponents. But his weakness has always been submission defense and Silva is a BJJ black belt.
But yea Anderson Silva looked more vulnerable than ever.
Anyways, which comeback was more impressive Brock Lesnar's against Shane Carwin or Anderson Silva's against Chael Sonnen. Here is how I broke it down http://bit.ly/abgJZf

didn;t try to sprawl???? what were u watching? Silva stuffed at least 2 take down attempts out of the 4 or 5 attempted.Silva just sucks that's all... He looks good in fights against cans but when you fight a real opponent this is what happens... The kimora from poor position was not tight and was NOT going to finish the fight lmao... Chael couldn't do anything about a kimora when he has silvas back???? Do u know anything? Stop asking question that make no sense... Chael not only worked silva he dominated him like he would 9 out of 10 fights... Silva sucks and is no where close to top ten p4p... nothing but cans for silva

do you think silva was letting sonnen hit him on purpuose until the last seconds of the fifth round just to make him look cool by winning in the last moment like if it was a movie?maybe silva was not 100% healed or maybe he was.the thing is not about how many times silva was hit but silva won fair and square.that is the interesting thing about fighting,you have to assure yourself the victory as quickly as possible and when sonnen was not able to knock or submit silva the tables turned because silva capitalized that aspect and won.maybe in the rematch we will see a very interesting fight with fighters who sharpened their skills.

Wow, what fight were you watching. I found it incredibly exciting. Sonnen is a great wrestler and that is Silvas disadvantage.
PS how did he win the fight if he wasn't trying
PSS Silva will not get "dropped" any time soon
Also "everyone" wasn't saying he wasn't healed yet Silva was and he also added the "no excuse" to that same comment

this is stupid, i couldnt even finish reading this, sonnen destroyed silva for 5 straight rounds and the handfull of silva fans out there who cant realize that, even though you cant look at silvas face and cant notice something is wrong. Silva is going to get demolished by either sonnen again or belfort will put him in a living nightmare.

Silva has never had good takedown defense, so no, it wasn't suspicious at all that he wasn't able to stuff the takedowns of one of the best wrestlers in the MW division.

Whatever bro. You must be a Silva fan as a blindman could see that Chael was stomping Silva.
An I love how everyone keeps saying "he was not healed yet, still had hurt ribs" THEN HE SHOULD NOT HAVE STEPPED IN!!!!!
PERIOD!!!
