First you do not get "caught" normally at that level unless your submission defense sucks. Secondly Silva's guard was pretty active, otherwise he would not have been able to come out swinging in round five like he did. That last round showed that he did not sustain as much damage as people thought, after all he continued to fight. And during the fight Silva kept looking for submissions against the man who criticized the Noguiera's and BJJ in general. This from a man who has been submitted 8 times (most of his losses). So it is only fitting that this guy lost in the fashion he did. As far as matches go, Silva on the shelf or not, Sonnen should have to fight Maia again. If not that he should get a rematch, or a fight with Belfort. Chael maybe an ass but he is talented and a top contender.

After the fight and during the press conference for the Anderson fight Chael pretty much admitted he tapped. He will deny to this day that he tapped against Filho. Chael screamed against Filho, but I press anyone to give me proff that he said "tap", or "stop" or something of that nature. He screamed just the same in the Babalu fight in the UFC.
