Anderson Silva Vs. Chael Sonnen - UFC 117

The much anticipated fight for Anderson Silva's crown defense.  A huge upset for Chael Sonnen losing from his opponent by submission at the last remaining seconds of round 5.  An arguably lucky win for Silva being beaten up and taken down in the entire match by a very determined and aggressive Sonnen.  Anderson however, remained calm and never stopped finding ways to stop Chael through the entire fight and was able to pull a triangle leg choke on his opponent.  A big break for Silva since he has never won a round in the fight and a clear victory for Sonnen could he never pulled that submission in the last remaining 2 minutes of the fight.  A very surprising amount of strength and agility were showcased by the american fighter not showing any signs of fatigue, throwing vicious punches from the beginning of the fight to the near end.  However, Chael Sonnen has been accused of taking performance enhancers at that fight and was proven positive and his rematch demand was denied eventually.
