The BEST FIGHT OF THE YEAR. ohh I can't wait for the next Silva fight.

broken rib is a good excuse. he fought like theres nothing wrong during stand up, he even moves like the same. but after taken down by a wrestler and cant even stand up, then suddenly a rib excuse?? come on…. sonnen is silva’s kryptonite. thats the bottomline. noone knows if he really does have an injury, but being a champion, i think you would never risk a fight or your belt with someone fighting a five round dismantling a yushin okami especially a nate marquardt… just got lucky with the "hail mary" triangle choke.. pillow hands are ok, better than running from a fight behind a referee!

tapnapsnap you a goddam loser. watch the fight again. watch the punches from sonnen. There is a new name for him all over the internet. Chael "Pillow Hands" Sonnen. It says it all. Now go back and finish your homework then mommy can tuck you in loser.

Sonnen fought a hell of a fight great performance Anderson showed the heart of a champion finding a way to win when it looked like he was about to lose.

BJJ's REAL NAME IS: Kano Ryu Jiu-Jitsu.

What Maeda taught the Gracies was pre WWII Judo AKA Kano Jiu-jitsu, named after Judo's founder Kano who himself was a master jiu-jitsu practitioner. He combined his style of jiu-jitsu with the Fusen Ryu style, whose founder (ONE OF THE LAST SAMURAIS) modified the standing submissions to ground close in subs NOW THAT SAMURAIS WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO CARRY THEIR KATANAS - thereby reducing the chances of getting cut by their own swords and knives .

KANO CALLED HIS ART...KANO RYU JIU-JITSU.

It was not until after WWII that Kano, attempted to soften his art and changed the name to Judo, in order to be accepted as a legitimate sport in the olympics. THIS IS WHY THE BRAZILLIANS, STILL, CALL IT JIU-JITSU. it is known as Kosen Judo in Japan.

Maeda, who was the first real MMA fighter fought wrestlers and boxers all over the world...de-emphasized the take downs and flying arm bars...AND THIS IS WHY ANDERSON HAS SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH WRESTLING TAKE DOWNS. A REAL SAMURAI WOULD TAKE MOST ANY WRESTLER DOWN WITH RELATIVE EASE.

THIS IS WHY THE BRAZILLIANS CALL IT, SIMPLY, JIU-JITSU

IN BRAZIL...THERE ARE, STILL, MANY NON GRACIE LINEAGE JIU-JITSU MASTERS...ALL OF THEM PRACTICE THE SAME SAMURAI PRE WWII JUDO

* HERE IS THE REASON WHY THE BRAZILLIANS CALL IT JIU-JITSU, WHEN THEIR FOUNDER MAEDA WAS REGISTERED AS A 5TH DEGREE BLACKBELT IN JUDO'S KUDOKAN...AND WHY HELIO TESTED FOR AND IS REGISTERED IN THE KUDOKAN, AS A 3RD DEGREE BLACK BELT IN JUDO

First of all if he had a broken rib the Doctor would have lost his license for allowing him to fight. Also, if Dana White knew about it (and if it was true, I'm sure he did), White would have been liable for a lawsuit if that broken /fissured rib (yeah,whatever) punctured a lung and Silva bleed to death on the mat. There is NO WAY that SIlva had a broken rib. That fight would not have been allowed to continue. Face it Silva fans...Chael fought the fight of his life. We will see who wins the rematch.

I was really hoping it was gonna be the last time I had to see him...

silva just showed the world how gud he is, controlled for 4 rounds and still came out fresh to get the triangle in round 5. Props to sonnen he did wat he sed he wud do but in the end silva is just to good werever the fight goes

take credit away from him!! i mean lol

sonnen was outstanding no one should take any credit away from a rematch should happen!!! i am now a sonnen fan!
