It is pretty rare that discussion of a fighter attempting to bend the rules in an MMA fight necessitates a three-slide article, but Anderson Silva‘s performance at UFC 148 is an exception.
Three occurrences from Saturday night’s main event have received attention for all the wrong reasons, and it’s time to take a closer look at each one.
First, we will look at Silva’s adventure with a Vaseline jar.
Second, we’ll examine Silva’s holding of Chael Sonnen’s shorts.
Third, we’ll examine the knee that Silva landed on a grounded Sonnen, which signified the beginning of the end for the challenger.
