I have always seen Silva's opponents getting the thrashing of life time from him. Is, there any fight in which Silva was hit the most?

  1. Dana White went on to say, on April 14 (Anderson's 35th birthday) in an appearance on ESPN's Jim Rome is Burning, that Anderson's next title defense would be against Chael Sonnen at UFC 117 in Oakland, California, and that "If he [Silva] ever acts like that again in the ring, I will cut him."[49]
    On August 7, 2010, Silva faced Chael Sonnen for the UFC Middleweight Title at UFC 117. In the first round, Sonnen stunned Silva with a punch before taking him down and dominating from the top position, landing multiple blows. The following three rounds played out in a similar fashion, going to the ground early with Sonnen dominating from inside Silva's guard. In the fifth round, Silva slipped while ducking under Sonnen's left hook and the challenger took advantage by once again establishing a top position and delivering strikes to Silva. With about two minutes left in the round, Silva was able to lock up a triangle armbar on Sonnen, forcing Sonnen to submit at 3:10 of Round 5.
    Silva was hit more in the fight than in his entire career. According to CompuStrike, in his first 11 UFC fights, Silva was hit 208 times. Sonnen hit him a total of 289 times.[50] After the bout it was revealed that Sonnen would have won a judges' decision. All three judges had Sonnen marked as the winner of all four rounds, judges Nelson Hamilton and Dan Stell had Sonnen taking Round 1 10-8, as well as Hamilton awarding the challenger another 10-8 total in Round 3.[51]
