Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen 2 Fight Video UFC 148

fantastic night of fights!

…….NOW where are all the Chael Sonnen nut scratchers??????????? Don’t worry, I’ll wait……
Anderson LET him take him down & LET him do whatever he wanted to in the 1st round ON PURPOSE…..the proof of that is in round 2- Chael couldn’t take him down AT ALL in the 2nd round, not even a body/judo throw! Anderson SIlva is the G.O.A.T period….

nice illegal knee by Silva..

I had Chael winning this fight, I also had him winning the 1st one.

Damn… wow.. big props to Silva.

That was a knee he learned from Sensei Segal! Haha I wanna see him try taking credit for that one.

Lmfao at the illegal knee excuse, watch the replay pansies it was legal clear as day. Thank god lavigne wasn’t a dumb sonnen nut hugger and let that loudmouth get the beating he deserved for years

if chael stay in the basics he can 5 rounds any1 …but spinningbullshit like a moron omg

Goodbye Sonnen lovers… back to your trailer parks. Illegal knee? That’s the best excuse you can think of?. A knee to the body of a grounded opponent is legal btw. Face it, Anderson Silva is the Greatest Fighter of All Time. A GREAT night to be an MMA fan. Justice has prevailed…

You can’t really tell in this video, but if you can get a better one with the replay, the knee was to the body. Perfectly legal.
I hope the b.s. is over now and we can go back to discussing fights and not soap operas and fighters’ personal affairs.

Clearly an illegal knee……

Definitely can’t believe the ref didn’t atleast ‘pause’ the action on that illegal knee! Ridiculous….

illegal knee by Silva

ahahahaha! That was a legal knee, as shown by the replay. Cry me a river Chael nut huggers. Your boy just isn’t that good.

How was that an illegal knee? You can knee a downed opponents body. You guys are either high, or too wasted.

The morons of Fail’s “One Nut” hugging nation actually thought that Sonnen had Silva in trouble. Silva was playing it smart and let Sonnen use up energy in the first. He never panicked and he looked completely calm when Sonnen was on top of him doing absolutely nothing to hurt him. But what do you expect from a bunch of delusional sore losers who actually thought Sonnen was going to win..HAHA!

SILVA is the GOAT!!!

was Chael hit with a knee while he was down? anyhow, Anderson did a good thing by showing respect at the end knowing he has a lot of influence on his country. He proved his point and now he moves on.

looked like 2 illegal knees to me. rogan said something about it then they never mentioned it again. wtf is that retard ref doing? failcola. anyways anderson would of beat his ass anyways. chael looked hella hyper and out of his mind hahaha couldnt handle the pressure

the knee was legal it was to the chest not to the face

I watched it live and in the replay they show the knee was clearly on the chest.Before the replay I was saying the knee was illegal but it clearly is a legal knee.Like the one Rashad landed on Tito..The upper thigh didn’t even hit his face.100% legal.Like I said after the Bisping fight,if Chael can’t handle Bisping’s stand-up,he won’t survie Anderson’s.Go cry to sleep Sonnen fans,ANderson won the 1st fight legit by submission and in this one he finished him with a tko.No more excuses for you and your hero.

What’s all the whining about illegal knee? The knee hit the body, not the head! There’s nothing wrong with kneeing downed opponent’s body.

Guys, it wasn’t an illegal knee. Your man loss the fight. Dana White even told the media during the post-fight press conference that the video was reviewed and no illegal knee had occurred. I watched the fight myself — in great quality– and the knee clearly landed on Chael’s chest.

The following statement goes out to the following people. You were wrong, horribly wrong at that, Silva destroyed Sonnen and it took less than a minute in his most dominant position to do so. In other words, in your FACE to:

Kid Fury “Remember when Chael called Anderson an amateur? Well Andy just proved him right.”

Trent “Chael got in his head. Tomorrow he pound the Spider into oblivion!”

Kushover “Chael rules! He’s gonna land some brutal ground n pound and Anderson’s gonna get knocked out!”

Big Mike “Yea buddy cant wait!!!! Chael is going to beat the s*** out of silva. Yea Chael talks but its hype and show. Silva is broken and is beatable. All you Silva nutt huggers out their Chael all the way. And yes crafty shot but what a coward. If your going to hit someone do it. A shoulder shot lol what a p****.”

facephucks “I love how people state what they want to happen as fact or even a plausable outcome…Chael is going to rear naked stroke Anderson all night….”

CrazyWhitie “Chael Sold this Fight 100%… Silva lost alot of respect for that shoulder bump…. Chump… I hope Chael beats him bad tomorrow…. Plus we need a new middleweight champ”

Grape Soda “Andy better save some of his tough guy act for Saturday, he’s going to need it.”

cutu2bad “Challottes webb is and always has been a fake he has pulled a few cheap shots in his time and will never set foot in the cage after 2mora..”

f_u “LOL talk is cheap and so is Anderson Silva. Sonnen is gonna sub you this time”

andersonsmama “F*CK anderson silva.”

Acrilawl “Love how it’s all apes and beaners that support Silva and that’s it. Meh. Hope Chael rapes him for a full 5 rounds this time instead of 4.5.”

gonnagetgot “I would have bitch slapped Anderson just to remind him of who’s the TRUE bitch for that shoulder check. What a chump. Anderson isn’t s***, but a monkey.”

Hulk Hogan “Silva is a cheap piece of s***. He fights like a girl, running around and waiting for some chance to squirm up and put a stupid armbar on them. Why doesn’t he fight like a man? What a chickenshit he is. I hope Sonnen pounds the beJesus out of him for five rounds then tears off one of his skinny arms and shoves it up his arse. Nuff said.”

So he checks Sonnen at the weigh-ins and hits him with a blatant illegal knee.

I thought Sonnen was supposed to be the unprofessional asshole. Guess not.

Knee was legit, right into the center of his chest. Your allowed to knee a downed opponent to the body just not to the head. Legit technique watch it again, and even rogan said it was to the chest after watching the replay. Chael sonnen is a talks a lot of smack for a guy who got busted for roids, and still lost twice. What a loser.

illegal knees and early stoppage but whatever chael was all hype screw him period the ufc is so phony.

Chael like’s to take people down and pound on them. As soon as Chael tasted his own medicine he was done so quickly like that? That is wrong in so many ways.

Silva n1…….

there was multiple replays for those who watched the ppv, knee went directly to the body, didn’t even touch the head. get your facts straight

That knee to Sonnen was identical to the knee Rashad hit Tito with and no one was crying illegal then… Why all the hate now?

I also thought Anderson re-distributing the vaseline from his head to his body was a bit wierd but fortunately the ref wiped him down with a towel right before the fight began.

Chael Sonnen Sucks! He ruined his balls by cheating with steroids during his NCAA days now he has no choice but to take steroids in order to live like a normal man. So he over juices between fights to heal quicker and to push his cardio then tapers off right before a fight to pass the tests. He comes in to fight Anderson by immediately going for a takedown trying to jail r*** Anderson for the rest of the 5 minutes praying to God that the ref doesnt stand them up due to inaction. The ref obliges and they spend the round on the floor with Chael dry humping.

Second round opens up and Anderson is having none of that gay stuff from the first round. He then proceeds to lure stupid Chael into his web by lowering his hands so Chael, the dummy – thinking he can strike with Anderson – proceeds to whif a jab and spinning back-fist so bad that he makes himself fall to the ground due to the momentum – not unlike an uncoordinated 3 year old. Chael is now on the ground and Anderson decides to pull a move from Rashad and knees Chael to the solar-plexus causing him to collapse further but Chael being the steriod freak like a terminator is still alive and kicking so he stands back up only to have Anderson light him up once again with strikes to the head that cause Chael to collapse for the final time. Anderson finishes him off with a few more strikes to the head while Chael turtles up – not unlike Brock Lesnar when he got gutted by Overreem.

So now Chael fan boys are screaming illegal knee??!?! You guys are all losers like Chael!

holding shorts is a big deal the way Silva was doing it. Stop the fight ref and call the reduction.

Don’t know how Rogan saw the knee as to the body after seeing it again but props to Goldie for at least staying quiet and not taking his initial reaction back. That was an illegal knee. Maybe Rogan went with the fact that the film showed “inconclusive” but Goldie and Rogan saw from their angle right next to the action.

To me it looked like Sonnen had his hands near his face but still got one of those knife like skinny knees to hi face when he wasn’t expecting an illegal shot. It doesn’t matter if the opponent covers up……it’s an illegal shot and it finished Sonnen

stop with the f-ing drama, the knee was to the chest, there was nothing illegal in it

aint a illegal knee up on upper body look good fools.
shorts grabbin was point reduction but he still murderded sonnen.
good stoppage or else sonnen would have complained.

afterwards silva acted like a true martial arts champion

Dumbasses, the knee hit Chael in the chest, not the face

Firstly, for all the Silva haters riding on Chael’s TRT enhanced Ass. Ha Ha, He, A’ha He, Haaa. You know ignorance really isn’t bliss. Where are all the beat down foreseers so frequent in these forums, how will you now feed your egos; your condescending slurs and racial hate filled rhetoric. ‘Chael should beat up this monkey’ (a post from a day ago which went unchallenged) well that Spider monkeys is slick and the great Chael hope now re-joins the queue.
Still I can see some of naysayers have returned. Yet rather than post a comments given credit where it’s due. For example, Silva’s improved ground control and take down defence etc,. You’re grasping at the myth of an Illegal knee. But then I guess those making these statements are just keyboard warriors who’ve never trained a day in their life, much less trained MMA. So let me school the uneducated amongst you. A knee strike to a down opponent is only illegal when it’s to the face, back of the head, or groin. The strike – not in question – was a precision one delivered to the sternum. Now, before you go crying but Goldberg and Rogen said. They both retracted their initial thoughts on reviewing the replay and also confirmed it was legit with multiple replays of the strike when summarising the night’s events. Yea, Chael showed up, delivered in the first round but again fell short of the mark. He was simply beaten by the better man. Silva is unquestionably, irrefutably, the pound for pound greatest MMA fighter the world has ever seen – challenge me if you dare!

It was a knee to the BODY!

Bunch of sore loser babies. Dana White, the ref and the judges all confirmed it was NOT an illegal knee. Jeez the depths you WWE fake UFC nuthugging Chael fans will go to. Just accept the defeat and move on.

and they did mention it again, it was the first thing they replayed after the fight..twice

First off round one goes to Chael with the wonderful takedown and kept him mounted til the very end of the first round. Second round goes to Silva with the TKO. That knee was not illegal, being a fighter myself I thought it was illegal BUT after seeing the replay, it was directly to the chest of Chael knocking the wind out of him. So for all you RETARDS that said it was illegal, look at the REPLAY again and you will see it was a knee to the chest not the face.

Wow. Don’t you idiots replay the figh? If you looked closely he kneed him in the chest (solar plexus) area.

But i think most of you are mad because your boy lost. Fyi chael still stopped tap like a bitch. Lol

Still gotta hand it to sonnen, He tried, I guess after sonnen couldn’t take him down anymore in the second he got desperate and did a uriah faber moment.. Lol shouldn’t gone for that spinning elbow.

Also, why doesnt anyone ever ask Chael if he is willing to move to 205? They always ask Anderson that question but it seems if Chael is hellbent on a title then the either has to wait for Anderson to retire or change weight classes.

In my opinion Chael is not a natural 185er… He is move of a 205er so it seems he should make a run thru that class. But then Jon Jones will be waiting for him and Jon is basically a less experienced version of Anderson but with better wrestling. Seems to me Chael is doomed never to that title but if he is serious about it then he should go for Jones’ title as he will have the experience advantage while Jon is still growing in the sport.

That wasn’t an illegal knee! If you get a chance watch a replay, it was definitely to body. The ref wiped the vaseline off before the fight started, there was however quite a bit of shorts tugging going on but when it came down to it Chael got got his ass kicked on the ground which is more than he could do to Anderson in the first round, suck it ‘USA’ chanting idiots.

just like a chael fan…
“the knee the knee the knee!”

bitch shut up! you really want Sonnen to get another shot??? like really? LOL you really think he would win the 3rd time around? LOL
wake up! the dream is over! no more s**t talking it’s over.LOL
but OOOHHHhhh no you would not listen, sonnen fans were like…
“his going kill Silva… WAR !SONNEN”
well you can all wake up now my little sheep…open your eyes…it’s over in 2! now go back to watching WWE as you clearly know nothing of MMA. feel free to bitch about the KNEE all day bitches of Sonnen!!!

god it feels good when your right…yes sir!

i’m a Sonnen:

“we are going to get you Silva… why can’t you just let Chael win?”

“that knee was illegal Silva and you know it *sob sobb*”

“Sonnen was winning up until that knee!”

“we want a rematch…WWE Rules!!”

“it was fixed!”

“Anderson is the one on TRT not Chael!”

“i hate the UFC now”

“why do i always bet on the loser?… *crying*”

BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW S**T ABOUT MMA!!! LOL!!!

Look to be a knee in the face to me.

Hope Rashad comes down and wrecks Silva the way Sonnen did the first time, before Silva figured out he could cheat and hold Sonnen’s shorts to avoid getting put on his back like a woman.

1) Knee was to the body….on ppv they replay it.
2) Big deal he held the shorts and broke a little rule…..I think a bigger rule breakage is Chael taking a bunch of steroids before the first fight.

Silva will forever be the greatest.

I wonder if Chael killed himself yet?!?! LOL

He’s probably sucking on his mom’s titties right now.

War Silva

now lets belfor vs sonnen!

bones vs spider or gtfo!!

Final Blow that took Sonnen out was the left mid kick to the liver!! 2seconds after the kick. DOWN!!
Spider #1 !!

Surprising totally dirty tactics by Anderson. The vaseline, holding the shorts for like a minute until he almost pulled them off. Several times in the first fight Chael was teeing off on Silva worse than that and it is not stopped. Not saying Anderson can’t beat Chael, I just don’t know why he felt the need to cheat so much.

PLEASE tell me you morons don’t think that was an illegal knee. 1- he had no hands down 2- not convinced it was a face shot.

Domination. Total.

I would have liked to have seen the fight go into deeper water. Bad decision for Sonnen to throw a spinning back fist. He should have stuck to his game and been patient. Good finish by Silva when he had the chance. Still not an anderson fan though.

I wanted Chael to win, but stop saying it was a f****** illegal knee. You should have actually watched the whole fight in it’s entirety instead of coming here and whining about how Anderson won in an unfair fashion. Good fight for both fighters. Chael shouldn’t have thrown that wacky spinning backfist… Led to his early demise

Ha Ha Ha….THat was knee to the body….Sonnen is just anothe loser with a big mouth….When the second round started he was already about to quit when Silva was coming on him….And dont hate people….Sonnen should just leave the UFC now….But he wont….Cuz his just a bitch with a big mouth…HA HA HA….

Greased? People conveniently forget that the Yves Lavigne wiped him down before the fight even started. I love hearing excuse after excuse on why Sonnen lost, he got dropped and finished. End of story.

After all that was said to hype the fight. At the end, aside from the first round, it was really just hype that came out of Sonnen.

the knee was legal.. u people are high or blind that think it was illegal.. i be gaining to see WWE style fans in this sport specially with comments bout illegal knee.. there slow motion replay up there WATCH IT PEOPLE.. Are you kidding me, come on.. The new age fans coming in just know shizzzz bout mma.. im getting sick i been coming to this site for years and newbies are ruining it. and cant to read any comments anymore i come cause bruno post the best stuff out of any other mmma vid site there is, but these newbies are ruining it turning into a gossip blog quest.. and state no facts wrong about most..

What do you expect from people who vote for Chael…excuses. Really pathetic ladies.

I’m glad Silva dominated so convincingly. No point arguing any more points with internet trollers. Don’t waste your time teaching them about mma. It’s a waste of your time.

LoL @ that spinning backfist. Mr. Anderson=GOAT.
Thanks Bruno.

@mellojay stop lying wit ya broke ass. DICK RIDER DICK RIDER…. stop makin s*** up and go be a f** somewhere else

“I will beat him for 5 rounds, AGAIN” LMAO bitch SOnnen go commit suicide you fa*ggot you are a clown and got dealt like one…..WTF are you gonna say now bitchhhh….?

I agreed with everyone here at first that it wasnt’ an illegal knee, but after pausing it at the first point of impact I’m not so sure now, looks like it’s first impact point is between Chaels forearms near his face while he’s trying to cover up.

Then after that it drops a bit and slides downward. It’s possible that even at that height the knee his him in the chest… just an interesting angle, would like a better one. For some reason I doubt we’ll see another angle of it though.

The comments here are hilarious; It looks like Silva fans are so upset, they can’t see straight and think there is a mob of irrational Sonnen fans who are instead the angry jackasses. Your guy won, no one is yelling at you and yet YOU are freaking the fuch out? lol…maybe you should be angry at Silva instead of projecting this nonsense onto others

watch it slowly and in hd…the knee makes contact with the chest and his f****** JAW!!! watch his hands go limp right after the blow…Knee to the head is illegal even if you hit the chest too!

@Perulives

Hahaha are you describing PED Abuser/Lack of ball juice Gay Sonnen? He is NO champion!
You cannot be champion if you use drugs!

He got kneed to the FACE! dam it. i seen it a thousand times. you silva fans are losers haa hha ha hah aha haa ha lol

No one claimed “grease” in the 1st round.
I think maybe some of you just like the idea of greased up men!
Cycling TRT helps you to fight on, when you crack the bridge of your nose. Doubt he’ll test positive after this brave display of “fetal position” mma.
Ring side huh?! Well….. I saw it 3times in slow-mo.

Greased? that’ why he could took him down 4sec into the first round. Illegal knee? don’t mistake a short memory with a clean conscious.

Grabbed the shorts vs grabbed the cage, which is worse?

Sonnnen should have save some soap to clean the tears out of his eyes.ha ha ha.

I recall Chael saying that if he loss to silva, he would leave the UFC. hmmm…..

WIPED typo sry.

The vaseline had nothing to do with Sonnen getting TKO’d. However, go look at all of Anderson’s past fights in the UFC. He almost always wipes the vaseline from his face to his body. I doubt it has helped him much since most of his wins are KO/TKOs. But it’s amazing that no one has noticed until now.

Very disappointed by Chael’s way of throwing it the towel, once he was pushed out of his gameplan he pose no threat to Silva, he seemed to easy to put down and out. He showed no heart, technique or talent. Shame he didn’t look like a MMA fighter but a mere wrestler, I expected him to present more battle to Silva. Disappointed is how I feel!

Kneee was clearly to body, idiots. Besides, nobody says a thing about the illegal “munch to the eye” strikes of sonnen on the final of round 1. Agreed that the judge could have let sonnen take a bit more.

Illegal knee to the chest?
You guys are all retarded.
It clearly shows in the replay that it was to the body, not the head.
You can’t assume it hit him in the head initially because the ref was in the way.

@Goomba I just loled at the fact that you actually took the time to do that you ****ing loser. Sit here and tell me you don’t have wayyy too much time on your hands. I love when worthless internet kids sit there and act like THEY just accomplished anything.

Anyway, this boiled down to Chael apparently needing the TRT he was using to fight previously and now that he doesn’t have it anymore he just can’t fight. Chael still r**** him for an entire fight. He proved that Silva is NOT the best fighter ever. There’s guys like Jon Jones who have never lost a round, and GSP, who dominate every round they fight. Silva does not. Meh.

Acrilawl,

yet you have time to respond to him? “meh”? yet you typed all that? Sure are a heap of angry Silva fans today….why is that?

@fworn
He’s a coward and a liar but let’s hope he was serious on that one.Please let’s hope he does retire.Maybe him and Diaz should start a leaugue for sore loser fans.

@thejudge

1- your the moron because you don’t have to have hands down for you to be considered a downed opponent. It’s 3 points, could be both feet and a knee, both feet and sitting on your ass etc.

2- I agree though, it’s not clear if it was to the head or not, looked like it to me though.

Seeing Chael slip and faceplant into the fence after a dodged spinning backhand was priceless.

Regardless of what Sonnen fans think about the knee.. it’s DONE. In the books, Chael will never, ever, get another shot at Anderson. Go find another one dimensional redneck wrestler to get behind..

“Anyway, this boiled down to Chael apparently needing the TRT he was using to fight previously and now that he doesn’t have it anymore he just can’t fight.”

I’m pretty sure hes still Fu***** on it. You don’t just stop taking TRT. He even mentioned it during the press conference when he said he’s not gonna stop taking his “medicine”. Are you guys that Fu***** stupid? Hey retards! Dan Henderson still does TRT and will be on it during the fight with Jon Jones. Fu***** morons!

He won again, but still got dominated by a guy who fights like a school girl. Hendo is a better wrestler with real power, the perfect guy to end Silva’s reign. Chael was gassed early and slipped.

@tempted Are you dumb, look im a huge heno fan but do u forget when anderson choked out hendo or did u just start watching mma ???

Jones vs Silva. For gosh sakes its only a ten pound climb for Anderson and besides, he walks around at about 210 as his natural weight. My guess is that Silva doesn’t want to take the challenge at this stage of his life and career. Bummer for us all. This would be the greatest match-up ever hands down!

Cheater Chael got a real fight and lost again

Silva would be too fast for Jones who is bigger than most heavyweights (84 inch reach etc).

I love the knee to chaels face.. LEGAL ??? really?? Okay so now two fights they have had and i think sonnen has won them both,, in my mind anyways..

What REALLY surprised me was to see Silva, before the fight, rub the Vaseline from his eyebrows and cheeks onto his chest, shoulders and arms. The commission people saw it as well and wiped him with a towel, but wiping Vaseline with a towel quickly won’t make him feel less greasy. I thought this was a pretty cheap move by Silva. Was that part of his take-down defense strategy that he’d been working on?

Close up of the LEGAL knee to the body to shut up any of the whiny crying bitter Chael fans

Go buy some glasses and look at the replays and gifs.If your vision is good and you still think the knee is illegal then there’s nothing you can do for being stupid.

@dmfh1981. You’re a legitimate idiot if you believe he got taken down on purpose. This is beyond idiotic. Also you

and some people here have some kind of pervert vision of what being someone’s fan means.
Why would I stop being Chael’s fan after he’s lost? Actually I should’ve stopped being his fan 12 times already – because this is how many times he’s lost for christ sake. Are you kids? Did you come out from the woodwork? Or the gutter? Where do you get your stupid, childish, moronic ideals of an ibecyle?
Are you a friend of someone only when he’s on top? And stop being a friend when he losses? Because this is the impression you make. I don’t know if you have enough brain cells to analyze what kind of garbage you’re saying. Seems like your brain stopped developing in the 10th year of your life and you’ll stay retarded for the rest of your miserable life.

Why did Sonnen just sit there and wait for that knee? Give Silva an openning and BANG! Silva is masterful and creative. That knee was probably not something he practiced. The opportunity was there and he seized it. Very impressive.
How long will this loss humble Sonnen into silence? I’m guessing not very long.

Vaseline all over his body – cheating.
Grabbing shorts while landing a hard punch – cheating!
Sucker-shoulder at weigh-ins…some champ…If Chael hadn’t thrown that spinning back whatever it was supposed to be, he would have won. After the first round, Silva didn’t even know where his corner was at.

@KungFuLowKick
It actually wasn’t legal. I thought it was til the slow mo closeup gif showed it hitting his chin first.

im pretty sure that Sonnen was eatin Silvas counter fist at 3:47 left in second round (slowmo-and-s***). hes movement after that was so bad. silvas knee was brutal, but def. legal. Silva is the beast and easily best fighter in the ufc. greetings from finland.

LMAO ROTFL Funniest moment in MMA History right here! This will play in Americas FUniest Videos some day LMAO!!

people are going on and on about an “illegal” knee and greasing. which yes i did make a comment about the grease futher up the list. that was just retarded to see him wipe it on his shoulders in FRONT of EVERYONE!! But no it didn’t make a difference in the fight but the shorts holding did!! Sonnen took a few hits AND was stuffed on a take down or 2 because of it!! Fight could have gone a different way if Sonnen got one of those take downs!! Very disappointing fight. horrible display from the champ. I was so excited for this one too!!!

can’t wait until some makes a gif of a disco ball and strobe lights & insert chael below it spinning over and over like he’s dancing at a club….the crowd chants “go white boy, it’s your birthday”
