OAKLAND, Calif. – Heading into Saturday’s long-awaited and heavily publicized UFC 117 headliner, the MMA world had but one question: Could Chael Sonnen back up his big talk and actually dethrone seemingly unbeatable middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
The answer? No.
But it took a miracle comeback from Silva, who was down four rounds to none before securing a shocking and lightning quick triangle choke in the final few minutes of the fight.
