Silva's spirit was crushed in the first fight the moment this happened:
Then of course the rest is history. Only in the end was he saved by his "deal with the devil luck" as apparently he still had a couple fights left in his contract (a certain # of W's for his soul)
But fuck. Chael Sonnen though losing bot fights, the first fight was for sure him at his best. He looked so amped in there to really beat Anderson up and that's exactly what he did. But the difference between good fighters and great fighters is that a good fighters best fight is still one he lost, where a great fighter has dozens of best fights.
