This fight was strange. Anderson did not give a very good account of himself. To begin with wiping the vaseline of his face and onto his arms and chest. Luckly Yves Lavigne saw him and wiped it of with a towel. Then the blatant short grabbing which lasted for a good 20 seconds. This stopped Chael getting the t/d. Had he have got that who knows how the rest of the fight would have gone. Even after he he gave up the t/d Silva still had the shorts so he couldn't throw knees in the clinch. To top it off the finish...Silva threw that knee knowing full well it could have landed on Chaels face and been illegal. He didn't do himself any favours.
Yes the vaseline trick and the blatant short grabbing were def on full display. That combined with the early stoppage indicated that Silva knew what he could get away with and that the deck was stacked in his favor.Quote:

If they have round 3 I have no doubt Chael would win. Chaels coach is taking up a complaint for the knee because he was told by two NSAC officials that the knee was illegal and Chael said he he had to bite his tongue in the presser because it was an illegal shot that hit his head first. Also holding onto the cage for leverage is illegal. We will see how it goes hopefully round 3.
And so we do....Quote:

Jose Aldo got away with similar things in a recent fight ie holding the fence, these things happen in fights, as for the knee, it was close to his head, but thats Chaels fault for putting his head down when Silva came in.
Silva keeps the fight standing he wins 9 times out of 10.
It will could be a long road back for Chael to get another shot, just hope Silva is still around when, and if he gets there.
Silva was very lucky this fight and lots of things went his way. In a division with so many good wrestlers his luck cannot last much longer.Quote:

The is wrestlers, then the is Sonnen, he, in my eyes is way above any other wrestler in the division. If he carnt beat Silva using this style then for me none of the other's have a chance.Quote:

Weidman just wrestled Munoz like a rag doll. He can throw a top level wrestler around he can throw Anderson on his back easy.Quote:

Anderson and Chael both lost in this fight. Chael lost the fight and Anderson lost some respect with the fans. Anderson is supposed to be the best MMA fighter ever, and you see him rubbing Vaseline on himself and holding Chael's trunks. Did the
cheating matter? Don't think so! I sure didn't like seeing it, though!
Seems someone fell into the Sonnen hype.
If it wasn't for him opening his mouth late in his career and his TRT, you would still see him getting subbed by guys like Renato and Paulo to name two.
Chael got a bone when Fliho was drugged out of his mind.
Okami, Miller, Marquartd, Stann, Filho thats not hype. Throwing Anderson around on his ass for 4 rounds isn't hype.Quote:
