Free Fight: Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen 1 | UFC 117, 2010 

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.

Qqqqqqqqq >pp

@@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

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.

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

Exactly to dominate yet get schooled at the last moment is traumatic to say the least 😅

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

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

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 😂

Crazy how fights can change in a second.

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.

You damn right!!

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.

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

@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

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*

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

Really?

@@anavilla489 undefeated, undisputed.

And never lost a round!!

@@anavilla489 that's what he claimed after fight. Obviously joking. It's an old trick to tap once so opponent lets go and ref might not see the 1 tap. Fedor only tapped once to werdum aswell i think but also was spotted

Thing is was the 5th round hha would have ended the fight anyway

🕷=🐐

“or is robbie lawler biting off more than he can chew?” Rogan is very good at foreshadowing

He just threw it out there for future credit , case in point

“Conor’s relaxed and smiling”

"..there's a reason why he's (Silva) a champion." - Joe Rogan

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.

Noticed that too would of been easy to slip on in never did

he's not undefeated.. or a champion. so clearly you see it from fighters who are neither lol

@@chadcurtiss5965 Yikes, lot of loser salt in the comment section. Keep the champ's name out of your mouth!

@@chadcurtiss5965 someone doesnt know ab the ongoing joke

And most fighters would've tried to stop that flattering gesture "Aw c'mon man, stand up, you dont have to do that, dis is embarrassing dude..." But Chael let him.

NO..

@@nilobaranda ofc. He couldve won that if there was no tap. How upset could he have been. I cant even imagine.

Brent Legaspi if he didn’t tap, he could’ve been inside a box right now

@Donald Prairie he’ll still go down as one of the greatest with or without you taking him seriously

@@albshur3845 In my opinion he is the greatest. Leg injury ruined him, he was just unstoppable.

@Donald Prairie that was his style.. you win some & you lose some.

@Donald Prairie I would love to see u in the octagon

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

@OUTCLASSER Support Team none agree with your comment

@@lxLanarchyxl Lmao

@OUTCLASSER Support Team Damn dude you're wrong af

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?

@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

Im dead weak

E Bruner hahah “Chael Sonnen - would have beat Anderson Silva.... had Anderson Silva not beaten Chael Sonnen”

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.

I thought you meant the skin color but you meant the trunks

@@LazzoB67 he did mean skin color. The commentator meant trunks lol.

@@taiasher2576 lol

3 of us black guys in a bar full of white guys..100+.. we jumped up yelling excited when he tapped.. then realized whole bar was dead quiet lol looking at us

🤔😂

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.

@UFC Free fights That's something it should never be talked about

He was the first fighter in the UFC to dominate Silva. Was Chael's fight to win until he slipped up and got caught in that triangle.
