and there's also this: a comment I read after the live blog over on cagepotato.com:

...and what about Anderson holding onto those trunks with a death grip...before the suspect knee to the chest-neck-head?

scoot back and stand up. Also an EXTREMELY early stoppage for a main event title fight. Not to mention silva Dirty and sketchy joint. Whole card was nearly as dissapointing as 119.

I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AGREE. Like I said before, you look at the Kongo fight that WASN'T EVEN A MAIN EVENT, yet they were allowed to continue. POOR FUCKING STOPPAGE. Chael brought it and dominated the 1st round. He did some stupid shit with that spin in the second and Silva JUMPED HIM WHILE HE WAS DOWN. I demand a third fight after Sonnen beats Lombard, which is gonna happen.

took a dive..........maybe?

No fucking way dude. That guy would never take a dive. I am dissapointed in the Ref for such a bullshit stoppage in the most anticipated fight in UFC history. Chael had this fight in control, the Anderson hit him in the most weak-ass way possible

 

[DelSlow]

Chael wasn't fighting back.

Is he going to leave the ufc like he said?

 

[futureprospects]

anderson clearly finished chael he was defenseless and it was supposed to be stopped. hype on hype its the new WWF with real fighting!

The end seemed kinda shady to me. Silva's knee was obviously to the head and was blocked by Sonnen's forearms and, like you said , slid down to the body.

Joe Rogan kept making it a point to say "knee to the body' "knee to the body" and the ref dint say shit, they never showed the blow or whatever it was that caused Chael to go down/stay down. He just kinda fell after that spinning back fist and gave up. He might've been winded but I'm starting to think this shits setup same way as wwe sometimes and this was one of those times. Chael's a tough fucker. Went in, gave a few lumps, took a few, and then took a dive..........maybe?

The fight definetley wasn't rigged. Chael wouldn't agree to that for any sum of money. And if it was to be rigged, it would make more sense for Chael to win. The middleweight division is gone. Hector will get dominated by Chael.

No. Anderson didn't agree to the terms that if he lost he would leave the division. Therefore, Chael won't leave the UFC. I honestly feel that if the fight was given another 10 seconds Chael would have gotten up and took him down. He wasn't tired, look at his cardio. And he wasn't hurt, after the fight he got right back up, he just got stuck on the fence and wasn't sure what to do.

it was a knee to the body doowmd. a solidly placed knee right to the chest. silva got deadly accuracy striking

there was no set-up or fix going on, lol

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

I can't believe a lot of you thought the knee was illegal. I watched the fight twice and the stoppage was legit. sonnen wasn't fighting back and woulda got knocked out if the ref didn't stop the fight. chael gave up and curled up in a ball.

I was crazy DRUNK off my ass when I posted after the fight. So looking back with a clear head, I see Chael winning the fight up until he decided to the throw in a spinning back-fist and then just stayed on the ground after he fell...what the fuck was that???

Anderson didn't beat Chael. CHAEL beat Chael. Oh well, on to the next I guess.

So now we have either Lombard, Munoz, Bisping. But I'd LOVE to see Alan Belcher fight Anderson. That kid has lethal stand-up, and the way he dominated Palhares was impressive. And now Rashad is calling Silva out. So there are still some great matches before this guy retires.
