The way he stuffed those takedowns was very impressive. He completely raped Sonnen mentally with that. He broke his will.
Anyway in the first fight with just about every takedown Silva was taken down with ease. He just had no strength to even try to stuff them. But TONIGHT in the second round he stuffed quite a few takedown attempts displaying great balance and strength. I know that there were other factors involved here, but the diffirence between both fights was staggering in terms of TDD.
I always knew Sonnen was not on his level and that the first was a fluke.
