Anderson’s triangle is a prime example of why you should never quit in life - you can be losing the whole time but it only takes 1 opportunity to win
Very well said brother.
100% Agree to this, even before round 5 after loosing 4 rounds he was responding the crowd and then he planned to choke him. Wow!
And Chael is a savage!
Cheal Sonnen tap out is a prime example of why you are fucked in life - you can be winning the whole time but it takes only one mistake to lose it all
Amen
@@jacek8889 What makes it even worse, is that he promised his dying father he would be Champ, but he never got there. Truth is, his Dad probably didn't care much either way. He loved his son no matter what.
I could not imagine spending 4 rounds in the cage with Anderson Silva, whooping his ass the whole time, and then tapping out. Heart break
And then getting choked. You have to tap if you get choked. Its unfortunate for chael but silva outsmarted him you cant deny that. Maybe chael let his guard down all he had to do was sit on silva for 2 minutes and been world champ. But once youre fully cinched into a choke thats it.
But Chael is a loud mouth who deserves that kind of humbling defeat. Just like Conner deserved Khabib.
@@mastertrey4683 that’s the problem though was thinking the way you stated. “All he had to do was sit on Silva”
Nope. All he had to do was prevent one of the greatest fighters ever with incredibly well rounded skills from doing what he does best. And that is, get the upper hand just when his opponent thinks they have either an opportunity to attack, or an opportunity to breathe. Do that with Silva one too many times and it will be over in a flash. Silva took more of a beating than I’ve ever seen him take, and by that many times over. But it just goes to show what a champion he is. No matter how tired he might have been, which he never was, or how disoriented he may have become, which never happened, or how desperate he might have gotten, which also never happened, he will either quickly end it, or wait for his opponent to make a few mistakes, and size that opportunity. Bruce Lee said it. “When my opponent expands, I contract, and when they contract, I expand, and when the opportunity comes, I don’t hit, it hits all on its own”. He was watching Sonnen’s face, very, very, carefully, and could read when his guard was down, in his mind is what I mean. Silva just casually, casually, slips that leg over, and locks in the triangle. Done. If there was ever a time when Anderson Silva used every ounce of power he had, it was right there with his legs, crushing Chanel. Incredible. Simply incredible.

@@andrewhigdon8346 anderson silva is not incredibly well rounded, stop it, his wrestling is zero, his grappling is zero, he has passive guard, he got lucky
This is the most heart breaking fight of all time
Silva tricked sonnen to then get tapped. He let sonnen do his thing to tire him out and then triangle him. Silva a legend
@@user-qy1vs7jo7bNah it seems like that some paid stuff
@@user-qy1vs7jo7b Uhhhh, no. Sonnen got complacent and Silva took advantage of it.
Naw this is the best comeback fight of all time
Lol no stop being a pussy
silva blocked all the sonens punches perfectly with his face
The generosity of Chael knows no bounds. Tapping to Silva to make him feel good after whipping him all fight.
Lol make it sound good billy Bob 🤣
great fight cant disrespect either of them
Nah bruh if Silva wanted to he would’ve stopped playing around, Chael claims that he beat the brakes off of Silva yet he didn’t even knock him out or make him bleed and what’s worse is he literally tapped when he got out in the triangle
@@Nateeahco Why don't you hop off silva's d fanboy. Nobody made silva look like that in the octagon, fkn casual.
@@NateeahcoId say Chael didnt take as much brain damage as Silva. Id take that as a win 😂
Sonnen had a magical ability to hit someone, making himself bleed and leaving the other guy looking untouched.
best comment
I’m barely familiar with MMA and even I fucking love this comment
Key words is looking untouched. Skin may get cut and heal in a few days, but brain damage is forever. RIP Silva.
Smallie Biggs silva is from brazil is he part black?
Smallie Biggs that's the most retarded thing I have ever heard
Perfect example of winning a fight but losing the war. Big respect to both of these Warriors. I remember the energy of this fight when we watched it live. INTENSE!!
Exactly to dominate yet get schooled at the last moment is traumatic to say the least 😅
It’s the other away around bud Cause saliva ending up winning the war

@@doubleaa8251that’s what he said dopey.
It's exactly the other way dude
I'm just getting into the lore of the UFC and MAN!!! Watching Chael dominate like this but fall short with the tap was so heartbreaking!!
Me too man, me too.
He didn’t tap that it’s just edited like that. He actually is undefeated
@@fischerdrury926 Never lost a round, never lost an argument. GOAT
Ya that’s what juicing will do to ya! 🧃
I've never heard anyone describe the UFC with "lore", like it's some kind of fantasy universe. :D
Chael was the only man to figure out the spider in his prime. But to Silva's credit he found a way to win in the end. Both legends of the game
Kinda Scary Silva did not even slowed down that much, you can see Chaels apprehension in Round 5, And Silva just kept moving forward. It probably demotivated Chael enough that in the rematch sine he was not able to put a lot of beating on Silva in Rd1 he knows he is done.
@@Jamie-zs8ok he wasn't on steroids anymore in that rematch
Good comment 👍🏼🔥💪🏼
@@brucelston Silva was. Everyone was on roids back then
@@GA-gp9dj calm down bitch. Every fighter fights injured.
It has been 10 years and I feel worse for Chael every time I watch this fight. 120 seconds away from fulfilling his promise and within an instant it was gone
Yea its a tough one
That’s life.
What promise
he was on roids, 100% deserved to lose, and i like chael, not a hater, just the truth
Johnwick 97 He promised his dad on his deathbed that he’d become a world champion
Still amazing to see years later. You could see Chael starting to gas out in top position in the final round -- sitting up and throwing slow, tired punches that allowed Anderson to pull his arm toward him and lock in the triangle. Unbelievable. Chael was up 40-34, 40-35, 40-36 on the scorecards entering the fifth.
I guess he was up so much there was no need for a 4th score huh
@@secularargumentthis is the three judges scorecards going into the fith lol
Should have been 40-32, maybe 40-33. Well by today's scoring I think it would be.
@@dannywholuv ah. Touche salesman. Lol
@@secularargument coz there are only 3 judges
I have watched this fight 100 times and still can't believe Chael lost he was beating his ass every round.
Anderson is so great, he's one of the few that can say "I got my ass beat for a half hour straight and I still won" and not be lying.
And if you think about the sound of his voice haha, that man a kind legend.
Dillon Cobb My all time favorite fighter. That front kick was peak Silva
It was painfully clear to see how comfortable the spider was throughout this whole fight. I’m so ecstatic with that finish as it shows exactly what I’m talking about
Anderson Silva.🇧🇷 The best pound for pound fighter on the planet. My favorite fighter of all time. You guys know damn right❗️✊🏼; )
about 25 min yeah
Me after watching 2 minutes of Chael feeding punches to Anderson's face: How is this video 28 minutes long?
@Obtuse One I'm pretty sure all his big punches from the top had more power than Weidman's punch that stunned Anderson. I wonder if punches against someone's head that braced against the mat are less effective, hence why so many people go for elbows/cuts in top position these days.
@@mathjoker Weidman's punch just landed perfectly
mathjoker You are correct, it is the jolt of the head that causes the most brain damage. Punches to the head where the head is help in place by the floor are just bruising the skin and bone. But with that said, the best punches are those from top where bottom is lifting their head up but gets caught on the way, jolting back down and then bouncing back up again after hitting the floor for two jolts on the brain.
Accurate af
Raw Straw he hits like a bitch when he was doing it tho
Anderson showing immense respect for Chael, how low he got.. not just a bow but at that mans feet with humility and respect, love to see it from the champ
Chael sonnen fought the best fighters in the ufc. Respect to him.
I've watched this fight multiple times and every time I think "there's no way Silva's winning this" even though I know the outcome.
That chin though
The dramatic ending
IKR!!! I say the same thing every time!!!
He “won” but he got his ass beat bad
I guess that's what makes a champion
All the chael jokes aside, he really did whoop Anderson Silva’s ass for the entire fight until he got tapped
Thats what banned substances can do
Fuck that bitch Chael.
So silva got caught by usada also
@I Am Who I Am silva tested positive for steroids later in his career tho
@NIETZSCHEAN54 silva fought against smaller fighters? That is not true considering he embarrassed former lhw champ Forrest griffin and former lhw contender James the sandman Irvin. And most of the middle weights he fought against came in heavier than he did. Rich franklin could have easily been a lhw.. I can go on and on.
One of the best fights I’ve ever seen! I remember watching this with my dad and we were both SCREAMING at the submission at the end!!! What a spectacular battle with two legendary fighters!
legendary? anderson yes. chael no.
@@justinjohnson8551chael literally is legendary this fight made him legendary he beat his ass and got caught at the end but he still beat the shit out of Anderson. You’re wrong.
@@dominicg3316 thats very true, anderson really didnt have that quick dodging touch of grace here plus he was up against a VERY smart fighter,
@@alexweddle8219 exactly. Chael just got careless at the end he should have tried to secure the mount or keep it standing and just defend. He even knocked Anderson down. Second fight he just wasn’t the same
@@justinjohnson8551Chael is undefeated and undisputed.
Forever the greatest throw. Moment of silence for Chael.. Incredible fight! What a legend! Undefeated undisputed champion Chael Sonnen..
“You know what, you can never count out a guy like Anderson Silva. “ that’s some foreshadowing by joe rogan

Amazing fight, it's insane to see how Silva struggled the whole time, yet he was so resilient! Mad respect for who enters the cage
Incredible fight! What a legend! Undefeated undisputed champion Chael Sonnen.
Yo... He tapped.
Nah this fight should not be on the record. Most likely both fighters were on steroids (Sonnen 100%, Silva got cought a bit later) and The judge in cage was convicted weed grower. Its like a movie.
He lost. He tapped out
Silva was hurt and sick. And. Silva. Was. On drugs. And. Suspended after the fight
You’re still in denial
imagine straight bullying someone for 4.5 rounds and then getting submitted
no need to imagine, just look defeat of Silva vs Chonan:)

Anderson silva faught against trainers wishes with a broken rib And chael sonnone tested postive for multiple streiords after the fight
I'd never get over this. Chael can posture all he wants. This will always hurt.
Chael didn't know he would lose the whole fight. otherwise he would have endured.
punishing*
11 years later and this still breaks my heart for Uncle Chael.
same
What do you mean? He won the gangster is undefeated never lost a round
@@McDavynLane you're right. He thought tapping ended the round. Someone should have explained the rules better. 🤣🤣🤣
@@christopherhamer9584 rip Anderson Silva he had such promise such a sad sight to see uncle chaels spinning back fist break Anderson's neck
Crazy how fights can change in a second.
Crazy I counted Silva taking approximately 70 hits to head in 1st round and still didn't finish him, he still wasn't even cut or looking to bad. Normal people would have been down and out with 1. Tough man to take that.
Pillow fists
Being able to take a punch and be hurt but not get knocked out and keep composed enough to keep fighting is one of the best skills in fighting. Silva clearly has that ability
And not only that Sonnen was restricting his oxygen intake the entire fight laying on him and was restricting his breathing by putting his glove all over his nose and mouth for the better part of three rounds. Silva is unbelievably resilient.
I wouldn't be able to stand that. What an effective tactic constantly putting his sweaty ass hands all over his face@@KidCudi72
Anderson Silva is a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu we don't normally get to see it because he likes to strike. But that time he was beating in the first round. If that first punchy through hadn't been a little bit harder it would have knocked him out because it had him stumbling around as it was.
This fight is honestly still surreal, like it doesn’t feel like a man should be able to take that many punches to the head and stay conscious. Absolutely legendary.
So true. I'm surprised he lasted past the 1st round.
A good fighter wouldn't have to endure that in the first place...
@@ozzylepunknown551 every fighter gets touched once a while. Can't expect to get hit 0 times
@@ozzylepunknown551 I don’t know if I agree with that, Chael was a good fighter and fought the kind of fight he wanted to, but Silva was trying for submissions repeatedly throughout the fight too. I honestly think Silva wanted to beat him via sub the whole time and that’s why he didn’t offer much resistance to the takedowns. I doubt he intended to get punched in the head 300 times, but at the end of the day he won, and to say Silva isn’t a good fighter is just being disingenuous. The man is one of the GOATs.
Crazy what roids can do
The "Almost" greatest upset of all time.
Chael won, you're hallucinating if you saw otherwise
@@Yom_Bristol I guess the history books are hallucinating as well. 2-0 for the spider. Both finishes lol 😂😂
NoahTre you obviously don’t get it. Chael won
@@javierfromthegggnetwork9657 I do get it. It's an overplayed meme. Not hard to miss when it's almost the entirety of this comment section
@@NoahCanFB You must be pretty stupid to not pick up that the 5th round was CGI.
this was the first time we ever saw heart from anderson because he never needed it before, and to see how much heart he has was amazing. I wish they'd signed anderson earlier to the ufc, bc he entered already a bit older, and pre-ufc anderson was actually the most dazzling version of him to my eyes.
Silva looks superhuman here. The man didn’t even bleed after all that abuse
I would love to see a day after pic though.
Anderson always had a weird face structure. I seldom saw him swell, bleed or get red in his face even after eating clean shots. Not only in this fight and I always wondered why that is the case with him.
Its like a dark souls boss one hitting you after 18 minutes of nipping his life bar down to a sliver.
RIght? You think you got it, but, NOPE!
@@INADRM Lol so true. That's why I dropped those games. Ain't got time for that shit anymore.

In retrospective this is the most dramatic UFC-fight I've witnessed.
Most definitely! So heartbreaking
I was so proud of him and that ending was just 😵
Still, he showed the world a lot.
Fuck dude there are so many .
I knew the winner before watching and it's still great! Perfect Chael fight, complete with a semi tap and chael asking the ref "what?" When it gets stopped!
@@moto-fl3rd yeah no shit it was in 2010
There’s a universe out there where Chael wins and makes us all proud.
Insane fight. They just didn't slow down so far into the fight. Chael was out boxing, out wrestling, and out pounding Silva but regardless of how much time was spent on the ground, they kept using new high level techniques that would catch most fighters nowadays. Just goes to show how much of a beast legends back then were
This loss must haunt Sonnen every night when he lays down
I doubt it. He dominates the best middleweight of all time for 4.5 rounds. That'a something to be prous of. Fighting isn't just about the win; it'a about performance too. That's why I love Chael and this fight.
I bet it DOES. He promised his father on his death bed that he would be world champion, and he was 2 minutes away from it. He was reckless in those final moments, he only needed to coast it from there. Silva could do nothing to him from that position until Chael stupidly gifted him that triangle choke. I bet Chael doesn't live a day without regret for that. Quote from Chael: "I'd give EVERYTHING to be World Champion for one day"... Still doubt he's haunted? He is. I guarantee you.
TemplarsCreed - you’re probably right, but even if Chael “won” the belt, he would have been stripped once the drug test came back. He would still officially never be champion.
@@tberry79 Yeah when I started watching this I was thinking, wow, are these guys even in the same weight division, Sonnen looks so much bigger. I didn't know he was on the roids though, explains it all!
He also lost the rematch, hes just not good enough
Got to hand it to Chael, despite the loss he truly proved he isn’t just another loudmouth, he actually put up a fight that made me feel like Silva was going to lose for sure.
Chael was juiced up during this one. Second one was real Chael.
@@BATBATBATBATBATBAful Probably true, now that you mention it.
So was ANDERSON SILVA
@@caingsparta2500, dick pills :P ;D
Sparta, Silva didn’t juice until he broke his leg and wanted to recover faster
I will never forget how close to the floor my jaw was after round one of this fight. Chael just had no fear of him.
How did he have all that time to pound on Silva's skull and not put him out. Maybe too much wrestling and not enough weights.
@KidCudi72 cuz at the end of the day its still anderson silva. He was getting thrashed but he was still defending and always had a really good chin. Chael was never a power puncher.
“Chael is one of the very best in the world at grinding and beating guys off from the top position”
Paws
I can’t believe Chael.
What a nice guy he is, to avoid Anderson the embarrassment of losing 5 rounds in a row. And he even let Anderson hold his belt afterwards. What a gentleman.
😂😂🤣🤣
12 years later and ur still hurt get over it

@@victoralaniz573 Its a joke dude....12 years later. A funny one actually.
You damn right!!
“I thought that if you tapped, it meant the end of the round”
One of the funniest lines I'd ever heard. I was a huge Silva fan and wasn't big on Sonnen, until that line.

A lesser known gem. Such a good fight
@@aceb250 So you basically tapped?
@@dominickschrute3084 Yeah Chael is one of the funniest MMA guys out there, next to Rampage I'd say he's a close second.
Man, tears in my eyes when Silva bowed to Sonnen. Respect man. He did get beat down.
I remember watching this live. Ah, the memories.
Chael never gets enough credit for dominating a prime Anderson Silva
Look at the first round, Anderson seems defeated from the get go. Look at his expression. He seems to give up from the get go.
ScubaSteve that’s true. Nobody was ever able to beat him up like that. And he fought killers, Bisping, Weidman, Adesanya, DC. And Chael totally dominated him
NoahTre reeeeeeeeeeee normie who thinks prime Silva at his prime could defeat the undisputed chael
@@michamarczuk1420 The thing is, I believe Chael got into his head so badly that Anderson was diminished. Chael has an amazing mental game. Normally Anderson was the one that did this, looking condescendingly down the Octagon and snapping the mental ability of his opponent. Chael paved the way for Weidman. Too many people respected Anderson.
you guys do realise Chael was juiced to the fkin gills in this fight right? Anderson was probably tho but idk.
Chael: *beats up anderson the whole fight
Anderson: *slaps on triangle with 20 seconds left in the fight
Chael: Ok great
@ricky gore I read that in chaels voice
@ricky gore Time is all about the intangibles, Ricky.
@BLACK BULL not really bored. Chael was kicking his ass all fight. Silva has always had dangerous submissions, especially his triangle, and chael has been pretty susceptible to chokes as well. Just great timing by Anderson when Chael got lazy in his guard
chael was juiced to the gills like everyone else.
@@rams81rule lol he knows hes talkin out of his ass lol
This was hell of a fight... Much respect to both warriors
Great fight. Sonnnen gave a champions performance until the last minute stoppage. Anderson Silva showed why he is one of the best fighters in MMA history. Props to both fighters for an amazing fight.
Anderson: Look at this cool triangle thing I can do
Chael: "Okay great"
just HOW GOOD is ANDERSON'S GRIP!!
*"Luk atch thish"
Lmao
Anderson: Give me your arm
Chael: I CAN'T LET YOU GET CLOSE
No where does the rematch fit in? ARE ALL THE PIECES. PUT. TOGETHER?
Whether you wanted Anderson to win or Chael to win. This fight was clearly one of the greatest Fights in ufc history. The more you watch it,the better it gets with time.

It was 1 sided…..
Reminds me of that Chiefs Bills playoff game last weekend. Thought the Bills had it. As a Bills fan I was almost in tears of joy. 13 seconds to go up by 3 and kicking off too the Chiefs. How bout a
Squib kick & not playing Prevent Defense.
If anyone has any clue why DC’s ever & I mean EVER use prevent defense, let me know. I imagine it has something to do with under the table money to that DC cuz I can’t imagine every one of them being that Stupid & never changing or fixing it: DAMMIT! Why the football gods hate me? SMH
So lucky to have seen this live!! Man, it’s exactly as I remembered.

He got tired and slid back just a few inches too far. Soul crushing
Was my first ufc fight I watched.
Everyone was talking about Silva so I watched and became a huge Chael Sonnen fan.
Great fight still my favourite.

Craziest comeback arc of all time
Truly, the best come back by Anderson Silva.

I really like how Chael watches his fingers when he's controlling the face, zero eyepokes despite having his hands over Silva's face. The kind of fair play you only see from an undisputed undefeated champion.

"I believe you." When Chael says that he's got the ref arguing that the fight is over because Chael tapped. Chael has explained he was in a daze, didn't know what happened, emotions running high and he couldn't remember tapping out. Imagine being less than 2 minutes from your dream, and all of a sudden you're being told you tapped out and you can't even remember it in that moment, and your response isn't anger but simply "I believe you."
I’m new to MMA and Chael only did 1 tap/slap to the leg? Aren’t you supposed to do a 3 tap to give?
@@themotivatedmaycry9120 Nah, only need to tap once.
Perfect example of to never give up
Aww how sweet of Chael to beat him up the whole fight and let Silva take the win at the end. How nice of Uncle Chael
Haha! Oh come on
@@jacobmojapelo2448 what’re you on about?
Silva lost, that wasn’t a full tap
@@GrabbaBeer no, it wasn’t
@@FentonTurnedIdiot Silva lost, even the commentators agreed
The old crowd sounds make these fights legendary
I was thi king the same thing while watching this
Hmm mostly joking but I don’t need sheep reminding me of when something I’m very much paying attention to is getting interesting
These days they sounds like fucking pussies yelling, I don't get it
Damn, people will really “back in the day” anything. Crowd sounds? Really?
Anderson Silver is just beautiful. A masterful artist to the core. Real knows real; reason for the bow at the end. Maybe the best MMA fight I've seen.
Still undefeated, still undisputed.
Uncle chaels soul is undefeated undisputed. It's deeper than fighting
Too bad that your hero is honest enough to tell you otherwise!!! You don't believe me than just watch the post-fight interviews & press conferences of both Silva fights as well as the Jones fight!!!
@@rickymassey 26:52 and 27:04 = Your boy tapped PERIOD!!!
DragonHeart613 he wont admit chael is overrated
now that i think about it, if Yamaski was the ref chael wouldve been dead and with his arm ripped in half
It's amazing to see just how much punishment Chael dolled out, and yet at the start of every round Anderson looks clear-eyed with a spring in his step, and Chael's the one with the bruised, swollen and bloodied face. Two absolute warriors.
I am not aware of a time where Silva ever bled in the octagon.
Silva trained ancient martial arts where they’re very disciplined in taking pain,mentally and physically, he trains his body to stay strong and firm and learns how to withhold pain and swallow it up
@@kaydenyoung5862 and took steroids with that routine too
@@kaydenyoung5862 That or drugged up so much he can't even feel shit.
I mean most of the shots landed were not significant. They are just annoying. They do not actually deal any damage. He landed a few good shots on top but the flurry of shots do not have any power or leverage behind them.
Man, my heart goes out to chael.
why? it's a 5 round fight. he lost at the end cause he was gassed and dumb. had a chance to show people how good he was in the 2nd fight and got embarrassed.
@@justinjohnson8551wdym he lost? Chael never lost a fight. When you tap, you concede THAT round, just like Uncle Chael said. Chael won the fight 4-1, but they mistakenly said Silva won. However, because of the champion mindset Chael possesses, He let silva hold his belt. what an absolute alpha move by Chael, still undefeated and undisputed
@@justinjohnson8551Chael is undefeated. Don’t talk about things you don’t understand.
He tap
@@takeover5449 but that doesn’t mean chael lost
This is the most perfect example of Hard Work vs Smart Work 💔 I wanted Chael to win Dude was an animal 💯💯💯
The day Chael remained undefeated and undisputed champion of the world. The biggest arms in West Lin clearly won without tapping.
Edit: I see some people don’t understand the MMA meme.
😂
why r u quoting chael. Make ur own quotes. #copycat
@@deneshbhaskar3944 Why do you feel like being a little bitch and not having fun
@@deneshbhaskar3944 what a biggity bitch
@@i.c.weiner6852 be orginal. Even chael would say that. Thats all fellas.
Looks to me he saved his arm.
Everytime I watch this, I feel so sad for Chael...
Every single time! Rogan cursed the bad guy saying "is it too early for sonnen to celebrate"... lost some coin on this fight, counted my chickens before they hatched just like chael!!
Mộ vmmnbbbnjjj
Na, he had it coming
Why? He won the fight effortlessly.
How can you guys say this? Sonnen tested positive for doping after the fight. He absolutely deserved to lose here.
I remember this being the most hyped fight for me.
the day chael sonnen won the middleweight championship
we never forget
He won 4 rounds. And then remembered Anderson is 5x the fighter he is...
He clearly beat Anderson 4-1. 49-46 Sonnen.
@@vladiinsky imagine being this useless commie angry all over the comment section maf Chael 😂
But he give up to !
@@nabeel1168 50-40 Sonnen, all 10-8s for the gangster. Undefeated, undisputed.
Before that fight Chael was undefeated,, After the fight he became the undisputed undefeated champ.
He tapped he lost sucks to suck
@@Averageviewer136 He wasnt told the rules. He won 4-1
Jarad Richards he lost lol your upset lol
@FunMiner what dimension do you live in buddy? Chael owned that dude
Borb Kring a dimension where i stoppage and tap makes you lose. Sorry your salty your fuck boy gave up his postion to get triangled. Sucks to suck
Anderson Silva is my favorite fighter because he knows he great but you don’t hear him brag or disrespect his opponent truly a man on respect
Amazing how some people get hit once and they bleed and swell, while others (like Silva) get battered for 30 minutes straight and look fine at the end.
Easily the most heartbreaking fight I've ever seen.
Before he was uncle cheal he was know as Nephew cheal 7:47 😂💀
Yeah I agree
This and Jones vs gusstufson
Heartbreaking unless you are Silva!!!!
Im a Silva fan , so satisfying this one 😄
Even tho he lost can we still say this is one of the greatest performances of all time? Anderson was goated at the time and Chael destroyed him up until the triangle
And take in chael basically didn’t tap I believe if the ref didn’t step in he’d have kept going
Ladyheroin .v4 this was Chael’s greatest yet most infamous performance of all time.
For me He won dude, just look at this comment section.
Chael is undisputed undefeated
No, failing PED tests as badly as Chael failed the one for this fight destroys all credibility for your performance
Dave Rumfield Silva was roided too, this is pre usada sonnn... different times
Crazy Chael really tapped out Silva then KO’ed him then proceeded to knock out Jon jones. Undisputed undefeated double champ🐐🐐
It’s crazy how sonnen never tired. He was literally throwing the entire time. Yeah sure not always big hard shots but man that is exhausting to keep that pace.
