him here also take advantage of this opportunity as Anderson holds on to him to try to get past guard Jo, sad loss of winter.

Anderson Silva will know that he has been in a fight with Silva 11 and Oh in his UFC career, but Chael Sonnen gets the family mice playing with the longest winning streak in UFC history. she's in serious danger the shots back and forth to the champion and that's the kind of thing she'll do, he just makes the biggest shots in the world, but he'll never let you rest, we'll never go away powerful. shots again good elbow from below by Anderson tails the conditioning has always been excellent and we have not seen Silva pushed like this a stance to the left is open good album and elbows Joe said to answer Silva's shot there are two minutes left in the second round, well, Anderson is doing a better job of defending himself in this round, our bar channels here need to be very careful if they try hard to control that wrist.

Gail shot again and missed with that 90 second choke on the champion looking for the hammerfist or two she has. be careful all the time those submissions from below Anderson is able to lift those arms and his user said be careful with the triangle and the triangle he is trying to control the wrists, mix things up very well, elbows to the thigh, most of the shots to the body. on the head and again innocent trying with all his might that armbar another great round for sanam UFC Middleweight Championship Anderson has his back against the cage we would like to get back on his feet here let's see if he is able to do it section back Anderson Looking for a Kimura job armed with Chael Sonnen 15 seconds we have for his leg and Piscotty's teratomas leg here Shell's legs are in a bad position and he is out the last few seconds of the round Joe and nails him BAM big takedown here there is a big left hand from Chael Sonnen and this is not the end of the round Anderson tries to attack Kimura here while Chael Sonnen has his back turned.

Sakuraba style tries to slide and end up in half guard, which he does and then attacks the leg that had his leg in a bad place. Silva came out and really tried to open things up at the start of the second round with a surprising Jo Jo was able to take him down right away, although he was back on his feet by the start of the third round, the champion was gone in this fight Sylva dancing around. and looking to engage he does so with a spinning back kick chayo pushes forward again this is the difference between the fight with Demian Maia the last Talus fight is that a jail reaches the third and fourth round he can still knock Anderson down he can still threaten That, Anderson can't dance away from him and Anderson tries to get Kimura again, but he gets imprisoned on top and realizes that he doesn't set the hooks, he just rides, he rides on his back like that when Anderson turns him around.

Anderson tries to throw. him in the attack of league of him, challenges in the legs, mount him, turn with him and finish up continuously with the knees. Chael Sonnen keeps busy from this position trying to soften up Anderson Silva and hasn't hit him with the biggest shots in the world, but they are relentless and Anderson has to defend himself Anderson takes multiple shots here and again they are just slow, you know, Robbie counts the hits, nothing important, raises his hand, stays on top of the silver in a better place, making the guard try to control Chael Sonnen. but struggling every round to get back on your feet and this is the kind of fight that wears you down now.

The question about Anderson in the fight with Demian Maia was if he got tired, why did he get tired, why did he slide well in the last two rounds. He was tired in that fight, what will it be like when he gets to the fourth and fifth is this fight between him and carry and Chael calls to wait for him, who has been getting hit, he has been frustrated because they will defeat him. American at the University of Oregon. possibility of Sonnen mandersohn blocking the body triangle now you can't attack from this position, the only thing you can do from the body triangle is possibly try to attack Kimura and then release the body triangle, but in reality it's more of smothering the guy on top and We did it by watching 1 2 3 4 5 the rabbit's punches, but he can't get into it as much as he can with an open guard or even a normal closed guard, when Anderson has those body triangles, it makes it much more difficult. to generate offense from above, but he will also not be able to take advantage of the time to be able to move to the body and head and release the body triangle fighting 101 Chael Sonnen at the same time, Greco-Roman university national champion, Olympic alternate and The most important thing that comes to this fight is all Chael Sonnen said, he believed he could win this fight and so far he seems guilty for the triangle.

Anderson was trying to control his wrist there and throw that triangle up and he's turning to the right here. he's trying to go for an armbar and he's moving his hips, but she notices her and hits him again. Most believe he is the most talented fighter in the sport. Anderson Silva, but the big question will always be or ours. Or it's been what happens when he fights a really good fighter. He fought Dan Henderson in the first round. They knocked him down. In the second round he caught. Dan listened to him and then finished him off with the rear-naked choke on the floor.

This is the second time. I fought a really good fight and it's been three rounds. Joe liked the first round you just talked about. He seemed even more successful. Dan was not as successful in the first round as Jill. Is better. Dan actually managed to take him down and control him. but Anderson tied him up and avoided a lot of damage and lit him up with some stripes 30 seconds left in the championship fight in the third round five five minute rounds just started now punishing the spider Wow Chael Sonnen credits a lot of his work ethic to his late father who passed away he was a hairy old man and he promised his father that one day he would be world champion maybe tonight the right hand should take the center of the octagon with his left hands i Silva body kick by Anderson here comes Anderson Silva Chan has keep the gambit can't control Anderson with a chiclet body again by selling stiff jab swinging a mask as he says inside Anderson Silva in his corner said he fights perfectly against his power from here comes the champion can he keep it down though is it an opportunity? wine, that's wrestling, baby, a couple big body kicks from Chael Sonnen early, I mean, that's how dominant of a wrestler he is, even when he's down, he can turn it around now, Anderson has to be very, very frustrated now that it's beaten.

He with some good shots is still there and has not been able to prevent him from taking him down or controlling when they go to the ground he has put him on his back like he promised and has hit him for most of the time. Now it's four rounds and he's forced Anderson to fight. I mean, Anderson comes out every round when you know he has to stand up. He's doing it with an urgency we haven't seen from him before. He's getting some bombs here. Chael Sonnen tries it. to become the new UFC middleweight champion and the first man to defeat Anderson Silva in the octagon.

The UFC president talked about Chael Sonnen going into that fight against Nate Marquardt. Not many people believed he would defeat Nate. He did great. He did it impressively. Being prepared for this opportunity tonight was also a huge source of confidence because Nate Marquardt was thought to be the number one contender in the middleweight division and a lot of people thought he was the most well-rounded guy outside of Anderson, you know, in the middleweight division. James trying to get past Joe Anderson trying to use those butterflies is what Mike is and the challenge is basing areas again on the right hand and an alpha conditioner Chael Sonnen as good as anyone but Anderson won't go away and he's getting hit like We have never seen him before, yes, we have never seen him dominated like this before and there is no doubt that he needs a knockout or submission to absolutely win this fight again.

He tries to lock in that body triangle to stop the assault just to be careful. leaving your arms there you have to be careful not to get caught look at Anderson's left arm you have Chael Sonnen straighten your right arm be aware of that left arm see how he's doing it that's preparing you for an armbar he was grabbing that elbow right there the question is if he has the energy if he has the ability to execute it Wow, long silver legs, yes, he is looking for the opening to try to make those projectiles bleeding and they are from Anderson's elbows from below they will only be suffocating Joe silver choking them and making them carry their weight Sunil they Anderson will try almost anything now thirty seconds left in the fourth round from the bottom is the spider you want to talk about backing up everything you've said for the last seven months, good elbows from the bottom for Anderson part, no, you're out of round five.

Another route to Chael Sonnen in the books, this is for no and let's take a look at the beginning of that round, there's a nice short elbow from Anderson. Anderson who hurt Chael Sonnen and this is the reversal and this is where he took a cut with a sharp elbow from Anderson from below, just a short sharp elbow and that's what opened his eyes. Chael Sonnen believeswho is five minutes away from achieving the athletic dream of his life. of being the world champion sold out the ortho arena Victor died around the takedown he avoided and is still very light on his feet Jenny Jones just like he was in the first round I mean, is it too early for the jail to start celebrating?

That's the thing, check us, say you've continued. has a choke he's trying to finish, champion Anderson gets his hips back under him to go back to full guard, everything that's been said, all the interviews that have been done and now the fight has been taken to him Anderson Silva like we have never seen before. The blow that appeared to have knocked Anderson down was actually a slip. He was showing the replay. Anderson ducked and lost his balance and now has internal control. He lost his balance. He ended up on his back and let's see if we can get off of him.

Anderson is trying to escape with his hip to get to a better place. position, but he's very tired at this point, he's been carrying jail summonses, wait the four rounds, the lines aren't going to let them go, are we three minutes away from having a new champion, you know, you could never rule out a guy like Anderson Silva, there is a reason why he is a champion, he must know that he is in a desperate situation, let's see how much he has left, other types of weapons that he can draw from his arsenal, but this is a moment of desperation, this is a path of life and death, with great awareness in Chael Sonnen, Jr. and his defeated is bloody but that's what he said he expected he expected to have to go into battle he expected to have to overcome but despite how tired he is in his place he is on top he said I know everything I have achieved in my life to the work ethic that my father taught me and we have seen all of this come true here tonight in this title fight and he will continue to do this with his fist deep and since Silva has an 11 fight winning streak he could very well to be coming to an end a record was a cruel problem Tammi strangled Chael Sonnen is putting on baggy pants that's what Rosenthal has intervened here what's going on here Anderson Silva Sangeeta let's take a look, it seems like a touch to me, let's see the game here it slide over slaps in the triangle block it now Chael Sonnen dipper what are you supposed to do he passed with his legs this is the way to counter the position he passed there is a hand that is a touch it is the right hand of the son of jail Anderson The spider Silva is still the UFC middleweight champion, ladies and gentlemen, the referee Josh Rosenthal has called us to this fight at 3 minutes 10 seconds of round number 5, the plane the winner and still under the sun, the spider Anderson Silva giving it his all kind of respect to Chael Sonnen what a great main event what a great moment here
