first round was unbelievable. sonnen was not true fighter, all he wanted was to bring him down to the ground and beat him up which he did. pretty impressive but the way silva defended himself from getting beat up even when he was being dominated by sonnen, that was extraordinary myan.. who could do that. Say you and I are on the ground and enemy on top of your chest, we would easily get beat up. but silva didn't.

And, when it's sonnen's turn to be on the ground, he easily gave up, may be he was hurt, I thought that was knee right to his jaw but slow-mo showed it was on his body...not even on liver or ribs. I think he was totally devastated to see silva come that way, he easily gave up and when silva saw that fear in sonnen's eye, he was unstoppable.

silva is undoubtedly decorated ornament UFC ever had. He's very humble and polite , gifted one :D
