What a sh-t job by the referee.

 

[The XL]

That spinning back fist effectively ended Chael's run as an elite fighter. He pretty much mailed it in from then on in and was just cashing checks.

 

[bjjwar]

Damn, Silva entered the 2nd round in Super Sayian mode. Stuffed al of Chael's takedowns and clowned poor Chael making him look like a silly bum out there.

 

[M4R5]

Classy Chael never made any excuses after Silva had to grab his shorts to stuff the takedowns

I still wonder if Silva dropped 4 1/2 rounds to Sonnen on purpose just to make Sonnen feel like he was going to be UFC MW champion, and then decided to triangle armbar the shit out him at the last second just as a way of fucking with him. Like MMA's greatest troll job.

Classy Chael was also roided out the first fight, so complaining about ‘ grabbing of shorts’ would be a bad look.

Even more savage considering Sonnen promised his father he’d be UFC champ one day.

The buildup to this fight was amazing. The rematch was years in the making, n00bs don’t even know…

Yeah

 

[sonhow]

Silva did grab the shorts. A lot.
But its a fight so anything goes if ref misses it.

When wrestlers get creative

What we learned is that wrestler should never throw a spinning strike or they will never be elite fighters again.

They were both juiced out of their gourds.

It was Silva's skill and wherewithal that allowed him to take advantage of Sonnen's exhaustion and mental lapse.

The conspiracies that fight gave birth to were always so silly.

Classic rivalry.

The first fight was like slap bang in the middle of the UFCs peak imo.

I wish Chael won the belt …
