MANILA, Philippines – Brazilian UFC fighter Anderson Silva has defended his middleweight title belt as he defeated American challenger Chael Sonnen in a much-anticipated rematch July 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It is the second time that the two current top middleweight fighters battled each other, with top 1 Silva winning in both fights, since they first faced each other in a very tight 5-round match two years ago.
The rematch saw challenger Sonnen dominating the first round, to the surprise of some fans and followers. But Silva charged during the second round and knocked Sonnen down, sealing the entire match only after two rounds.
Silva’s victory marks his 15th consecutive UFC triumph and his 11th championship win in the middleweight category since 2006.
