Chael Sonnen talked more trash than any fighter in UFC history leading up to Saturday’s middleweight title fight with Anderson Silva.
Once he got Silva in the cage at UFC 117, he backed the talk up for four and a half rounds, dominating Silva until the champion finally managed to sink in a triangle choke that forced Sonnen to tap out in the fifth round.
“Chael had a hell of a fight tonight,” Silva said afterward. “I knew that I was losing the first four rounds.”
