Fantasy UFC 117

If you look at Sonnen's past, this happens to him a lot. He'll control the fight, get takedowns, ground and pound, and keep his top position. He doesn't work much (if any) BJJ in his training and it shows every time he gets submitted. 8 of his 11 losses have come from submission, most in fights he was winning. That was pretty heartbreaking to see him lose like that. What pissed me off even more is how all the casual MMA fans were cheering for Silva and claiming it wasn't a questionable tap out.
Or the fans that actually attended the fights were cheering for Silva in the 1st round and then come I believe the 3rd round they switched up there cheer to Sonnen. What a bunch of bandwagons....only cheer for the guy thats winning. Silva has a lot of fans riding his nuts and its starting to get on my nerves. It did looked like he did tap but why would he tap and continue to fight. Usually when somebody taps, they'll tap about 3-8 times or so not just one slap.

Sonnen did look like he confronted the referee about it but never said anything in his interview in the Octagon. I'm still a little butt hurt about this loss.

I don't remember the pen flying like that :lol:

Sonnen was ninja-esque in that first round :w00t

Roy's belly makes me sick to watch, but also makes me crave some jello

And how about that double head slap thing Sonnen did? Innovative, not really effective, but I bet it was frickin annoying
