Yeah that was probably it,
Yep, that was exactly how the first fight with Chael Sonnen went down. I remember watching that and thinking he was really, really lucky to get away with the win. FWIW they had a rematch last year and Silva beat Sonnen convincingly. Also after their first match Sonnen returned a performance-enhancing drug sample that was murky at best,
and it turned out that Silva had taken the fight with a cracked rib.
