can anyone please explain wtf happened with silva's sub victory

what was all the confusion, i didnt get it. it seemed like silva was denying that chael tapped wtf?

Please don't ever let Carwin fight Big Nog! It would result in death

Can't decide who I hate more, Penn or Edgar

Sonnen tapped, then after the ref stopped the fight he denied having tapped for a second. There is no controversy.

I don't think he did?

I haven’t seen a replay yet, but from memory Chael kept trying to fight like he didn’t tap, but Anderson and the ref was trying to push him off.

Chael Sonnen... go get yourself a rematch, son. You earned it.

Apparently Silva was hurt, which might bring an asterisks to the victory. But that was domination. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t get an immediate rematch.

by Viewer 3 on Aug 8, 2010 1:00 AM EDT reply actions  

I dunno about that

While yes Chael did dominate for 4 rounds the 2 recent examples where Dana gave immediate rematches (Shogun-Machida, Penn-Edgar) were both controversial decisions whereas this one was a definitive finish by Silva despite his losing the first 4 rounds. I say put Sonnen against Belfort with the winner getting a title shot. Vittor has had trouble with wrestlers historically so Sonnen would have a good shot of getting the rematch. Just a thought.

by Captain Ernesto on Aug 8, 2010 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well I’m not Mr. White, but I’d make an exception for this one. I agree the victory was definitive, no doubt. But no one has come close to doing that to Silva. And I’ve had the impression for the longest time that Dana has long been running out of options in the MW division given what short work Silva’s made of everyone. The fact that someone has come in and proven that they can actually dominate the guy for 4.5 rounds might be too enticing for him to pass up. Belfort would be a gamble.

by Viewer 3 on Aug 8, 2010 1:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

No Chael vs Belfort

if they’re gonna stall the rematch, give Chael someone else while Belfort faces Silva. Silva’s confidence is at an all-time low. Now is the time to give Silva Belfort if not Chael.

by (shonuff) on Aug 8, 2010 1:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

Granted Sonnen did own Silva for 4.5 rounds

But Silva finished him. Sonnen shouldn’t be given an immediate rematch but I’d say he would be 1 or 2 fights (with dominating finishes) away from a rematch.

belfort would lose against chael

that's true, but

historically, have we ever seen a 24 minute beatdown end in a comeback.

Also, I think there should be some rule about how many times you have to tap. One tap leaves too much room for interpretation. I think it should have to be 3 to be clear. Neither Sonnen nor Silva seemed to think it was a tap, cause they both kept fighting, with Sonnen escaping the triangle and Silva still holding on to the armbar.

by (shonuff) on Aug 8, 2010 1:24 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's an interesting rule proposal, man. 3 taps and it's considered "uncle".

But Chael Knows he tapped. No argument from him. So props for choosing to be a Good loser instead of a sore one.

by BrockRocks on Aug 8, 2010 1:27 AM EDT up reply actions  

LMAO

Sonnen tapped and Silva let the triangle go, Chael was unsure and kept fighting. there was absolutely zero debate as to if he tapped or not. A minimum number of taps? Thats just stupid! mma isa “gentlemen’s” sport. If you put a minimum, that leaves room for guys getting hurt.

by kevjack115 on Aug 8, 2010 1:59 AM EDT up reply actions  

gimme a break

guys are gonna get hurt in the miliseconds between the 1st and 3rd tap. A guy can be doing all sorts of things that look like a tap.

If Anderson thought it was over and just let go of the Triangle, why was he still working the armbar 10 seconds after the tap? And if Chael knew he tapped, why was he still fighting?

by (shonuff) on Aug 8, 2010 2:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

and why didn't the ref act more decisive about it?

Just like CB Dollaway! He kept fighting, so clearly he didn’t tap – no matter what the video shows!

All weak my gut’s been telling me that Chael was gonna make good on his talk, but my head kept saying my gut was crazy and there was no way that Chael was gonna survive 25 minutes with Ando. Looks like they were both right.

I am the definition of satisfied after that main event.

I have never heard the bar so loud! They’ll make so much off the rematch and prps to chael for not disputing the sub in the interview after the fight.

Chanting USA USA for Sonnen and they cheared their ass off for Dos Santos cage entrance because it was Rocky! Im glad Andy won but fuckin Sonnen is a obsessed relentless beast,,, if he wasnt such a ‘meathead’ he would’ve pulled it off,… Sonnen is the newest version of Randy Couture in the cage at 185, he just such an asshole,..

you guys have been laughing at me for saying this

But I’ve been saying for 2 years that Anderson is afraid of wrestlers and that Randy Couture was his worst nightmare. Imagine if that had been Randy tonight. Bigger, stronger, and better striking. Randy would have finished that fight tonight.

by (shonuff) on Aug 8, 2010 1:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well....

I like “The Natural”, but saying that Couture would have finished Silva tonight is a bit of a stretch no? Did you not see that Brandon Vera fight?

by haglnuts on Aug 8, 2010 2:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

Silva would KO Randy these days, I'm afraid.

Two years ago, yeah. Randy would have run rough-shod over Anderson every single round, something like Chael Plus.

Today? Those striking combos would put him away, and Couture’s never had the striking power to deter someone like Anderson. Chael planted Anderson on his ass once or twice in this fight.

Anderson is death at medium/long range. Medium/short looks like it’s his striking weakness.

is better than Sonnen’s… nor is Couture’s conditioning… but… Couture wouldn’t have gotten submitted… so I think ur correct sir.. Couture beats Silva… Hendo did a good job for 1 rnd but he gasses to early.

Sonnen says he has a hard time getting out of chokes, it’s panic and tension, if Fitch can handle it, so can Sonnen if he learns to remain calm.

by DrewMoney$$$ on Aug 8, 2010 1:40 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

So I think

Sonnen did tap once. The CB-Dolloway tap. He seems to have a history of refs mistaking his taps and no taps. But regardless, I saw a tap. I was immensely disappointed. After seeing Chael humble Andy for 4 rounds, I wanted nothing more than for him to ride out another 5 minutes and subsquently turn the 185 lb division upside down and inside out. Oh well though.

Fitch did another Unanimous Fitch. Bunch of takedowns and submission grappling. Alves has been out for over a year, so did anyone really expect otherwise?

Shame Guida/Dos Anjos ended the way it did. Hard to believe that Guida busted a guys jaw. I never would have guessed Guida had that type of power, but it must have been the perfect punch. Dos Anjos was up 2 rounds in my book.

Wow. I am one of the few HUGE Matt Hughes supporters that is still public about it, and I didn’t think he had much of a shot against Almeida. Ricardo was coming down from 185 so he had a size advantage, and was a bit less beat up in this sport than Hughes is. But Matt dropped him, and choked him unconscious? Who guessed that? A reverse, inverted arm triangle choke? Sherdog calls it a modified anaconda choke. Whatever it was, damn. Go HUUUUGHES!!

JDS wasn’t able to put Big Roy away. More credit to Roy than a knock on JDS. Nelson has a Goddamn chin on him or what? I was on the edge the whole time because I couldn’t count out a single overhand right to put JDS on queer street. That, and I was on the verge of losing my sig bet to Dave on the fight. So David, you got me on this one, I’ll await my humilitating sig.

Haze gets stopped by Story?? I wouldn’t have thought that. Sure, Story is a stocky little powerhouse, but Haze creates submissions out of anything. Sad to see him lose 2 in a row. Hopefully he comes back with some more highlight reel tapouts.

Agreed.

His shoulder was all the way out, and that’s where the second pressure is exerted in a triangle choke, with the first being the leg.

Chael’s brain was still getting blood. After watching a replay, it looked pretty clear that it was an armbar that finished him off. But that’s just from my TV.

I have to say again that Sonnen is going to be kicking himself for a long time....especially after this....

I remember just before he got triangled, he was in full-guard and then leaned back and just started jabbing(not punching) away at the body. He should’ve kept doing that…..

by BrockRocks on Aug 8, 2010 1:33 AM EDT reply actions  

There are two ways to avoid the ONLY submission available to Anderson there.

Firstly, you do what Chael had been doing for the first four rounds, which was essentially closing all of the distance between his chest and Anderson’s every time Andy looked to open up his guard and bring the knees up in an offensive posture.

The second way (which is more risky against a guy who has proven he’s not against upkicking an open guard top opponent) is to sit all the way back on your calves like Chael was doing in round five. This has the demerit of leaving Chael in a less controlling position.

The problem is, Chael combined the worst aspects of the two (probably because he was excruciatingly tired/gassed) and laid his head on Anderson’s belly. There is literally NO WORSE WAY to defend against a triangle choke, which was pretty much Anderson’s only offensive option at that point.

Chael got tired physically and/or mentally, and paid the price.

Rematch I have Chael knocking Anderson out early on. If he had any fear of Anderson’s power, it’s gone now, and he knows he has more than enough standup to put Anderson Silva away. I would say he was fairly dominating the standup, outside of getting tagged in round 4(?).

haha.. that was funny

a woman asked in portuguese a question, and dana asked chael what anderson said, chael said Anderson said he agrees to a rematch on the reality show, dana says his response was better than chaels.

chael speaks portugese?

I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall. But the laws of nature dictate that I’m going to be the one who goes into the wild and comes home with the evening’s bounty. - The #1 ranked HW in the world...

That;s what I was thinking

It was kind of hard to tell on my stream, but it seemed to me that Sonnen looked worse than Silva did, despite pounding him for 20 minutes.

not a bad call, but i don't know if the timing is right. i'm not sure if gsp/kos have started filming yet.

i mean, the way i see it, sonnen gave silva the first real fight of his life. i liked what i saw in both of them and i don’t even care much for either fighter.

his comments in the press conference.

he should have said he would love to end his carreer with a win over gsp and take another run at the tuitle, not the lame answer he gave.

by Conan the Barbarian on Aug 8, 2010 3:20 AM EDT up reply actions  

I said that before the fight

but how nuts does one have to be to say that AFTER the fight? He knocked Almeida senseless, then put him to sleep in the first round. Give the old man some credit.

I don't get what everyone is talking about.

You have to TAP 3 times, not once. and in the video he clearly tapped 3 times, not once. the fucking rule has been established for years?
