I was yelling at the TV the entire fight worried that Chael was going to get triangled (as Im sure many of you were....especially those who use the triangle a lot)
He was controlled his wrist (pushing it inward towards his opposite leg) and trying to control his head/posture at the same time....and with legs as long as Silva's it was just a matter of time. Silva IMO was smart to not attempt arm bars bc Chael is too strong and they were too sweaty....so he waited for an opputunity to lock up the triangle. Nice work by Silva!
Chael talks down about BJJ but he has only ever lost by submission....he would be wearing a UFC belt today if he had a lil more respect for BJJ! I think Chael would lose to Maia 9 times out of 10....he makes FAR too many mistakes when on top!
Im so f*cking mad Silva landed that triangle...but it was good for BJJ.
