Outside of his match with sonnen who he fought with injured ribs, who in all likelihood juiced up (face it the facts all point against him), Silva has been utterly dominant and he still finished that fight like a champion should. Champions should be able to fight through adversity and come out on top, and thats exactly what silva did. |
People aren't ripping on Silva because he didn't dominate those guys. The criticism stems from the fact that he doesn't even try to finish anymore.
