I was not disappointed in Sonnen's performance but rather expected much more from him. I don't know what the deal was with him falling after that spinning back fist. He threw that with everything he had but to fall like that tells me he was starting to get tired and lost his balance. Regardless, that knee from Silva was BRUTAL and anybody would have curled up like he did.

This fight was very different than the first for many reasons. Chael's only chance of beating Silva was their first fight. A win which would have been changed to a loss regardless had he not been almost put to sleep by that triangle.
