WOW! Talk about pulling it out at the last second!

 

[Spineshank]

Silva got him in a triangle choke with 2 mins left.

 

[manimal]

Craziest end to a Title fight in 10 years

 

[leeland]

come on...wtf dude...just keep beating his ass like you have for the last 4 fucking rounds...don't make it pretty...just lay on his ass...fucking lame

 

[KeypoX]

Dana white jsut told him, if he says he didnt tap he is fired.

 

[JEDI]

bet chael will deny the tap and trash talk for some more!!!!!!

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

That was a tap.

Idiotic move by Chael. YOU FUCKING WON THE FIGHT DUDE......what were you thinking going for the fucking submission? God damn moron.

Just idiotic.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Holy shit! What a comeback. Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

 

[CPA]

Dana white jsut told him, if he says he didnt tap he is fired.

Who will be fired? Chael? The Ref? Dana doesn't have any say on the referees.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

It was pretty clear he was tapped out. You could see him tap Silva's thigh in the replay.

 

[a123456]

Hahaha, Silva speaks perfect English. Sonnen was terrible in R5. He had it won. He should have just played it safe and would have walked away from the fight with an easy decision.

 

[Lounatik]

Ha ha now we have to put up with this fools shit for another fight, at least. Sonnen is an idiot.


Peace

[manimal]

That was a tap.

Idiotic move by Chael. YOU FUCKING WON THE FIGHT DUDE......what were you thinking going for the fucking submission? God damn moron.

Just idiotic.

Dude should have gone on def and watched for subs...... Classy guy Sonnen.....marked contrast from Leben post fight in 115...

 

[KeypoX]

lol that wasnt the olympics there is no silver medal. You are the fucking loser, though i dont think he tapped. Dont you have to tap multiple times? Hahahaha they changed the video to multiple taps...

 

[JackBurton]

It was pretty clear he was tapped out. You could see him tap Silva's thigh in the replay.

He was caught in a triangle AND an arm bar. It was a tap, no doubt about it.

 

[mizzou]

WTF happened? I'm on my iPhone fill me in plz!!!!

I haven't watched it, but from tweets it sounds like CHael dominated all rounds and then let himself get submitted via brock lesnar style at the last second

 

[leeland]

wtf would he just sit up for the last round like that...he had been beating him silly for the entire fight...seems like stupid fucking logic. If he was such a good wrestler....why not just keep on top of him and not expose himself.

 

[a123456]

WTF happened? I'm on my iPhone fill me in plz!!!!

Silva was losing probably 40-36 or 40-35. Sonnen basically did a takedown at the start of the round each of the first 4. Then, just did a few shots here and there.

R5, Silva slipped and Sonnen was on top again. Same as before but Sonnen started getting tired and more aggressive and generally being stupid by sitting up all the way. Silva caught him with a triangle choke and Sonnen tapped.
