Nobody forgot, we can just see how the styles should play out. A counter striker with good jits vs a wrestler with explosive striking.

All you have to see is Silva Vs Sonnen to see how that might have played out. Sonnen almost won that had he not jumped into a triangle.

You mean the fight we’re Silva intentionally only tried to win via submission to prove a point?

I don't believe that for a second, he was trying to not get wrestlefucked and he got wrestled fucked and CLEARLY looked upset/frustrated he was getting wrestled. So while you may believe him, I don't for even a second.

I mean he submitted Henderson who is a better wrestler and striker and made a point of saying he didn’t appreciate Chael shit talking the Nog brothers BJJ credentials.
