During UFC 117 Anderson Silva faced off against Chael Sonnen in a bout where he would be victim to the strengths of the world class wrestler. Anderson Silva had lost every round on the judge's scorecards until he landed a submission with gave him a decisive win. Is winning a fight with a finish more important than what else occurred during the match? Basically how do you think this will affect Anderson Silva in his next fights?

More dominant I don't think so. Chael Sonnen was on steroids I doubt that anyone can beat Anderson right now unless they are roided up. He is at his peak right now the only direction he can go now is down.

I actually have a bit of a feeling that Silva was more Told to let it happen this way. I've never seen someone beat Silva so bad, or so much, but he was able to take it all, just perfectly. It was wild how Sonnen was getting over 10x as many hits on Silva, but Silva didn't look bruised or battered, or anything... Sonnen, on the other hand, was out of breath, more worn out, had that cut over his eye, and was just wasted.
It almost makes me feel like Silva was going for giving the people a better fight, so he just took the beating, knowing that there's no way he was going down, and decided to finally go for a submission in the last minute of the last round.
I gotta say though, if it was a fake or not, it was an awesome fight. It feels to me that nobody can beat Silva. I hope he tries to loose weight, and go for St. Pierre in the future!
