Chael won that fight 50-40, under any common sense scoring criteria.
Sonnen rocked Silva on the feet repeatedly, and absolutely dominated him on the ground for five rounds.
The pressure, wrestling, relentless control, and punishment from Chael would easily grant 10-8 rounds, every round.
In round five, Chael did not tap, contrary to what casuals believe. He adjusted position and touched Anderson's leg once, and only once, which does not constitute a tap. As we all know, tapping is a process, it requires multiple signals of submission, of which Chael clearly was not guilty.
Anderson's aura was on the line, and Dana, the judges, the commission, and the UFC found the easy way out to maintain their Hollywood Hero, through a corrupt atmosphere designed to deny Sonnen the throne.
At the time, USA-Brazil relations were in rocky territory, before Dana could reestablish America's world alpha dominance under Trump, and so the fix was in. The second Chael scratched Silva's leg, the fight was called, and the ensuing confusion proves my point.
50-40
