The fight was great I really enjoyed it.

Sonnen game plan was perfect for his style of fighting and he almost pulled it off.

I do believe early in the fight anderson took sonnen little lightly or with not so much respect where he got caught in the stand up.

Then as the rounds progressed the stand started to favour anderson a little more, but the ground game was all sonnen and you have to give full respect to the guy his game plan was almost perfect.

Then on the other side I would have to say I dont know which other fighter could have hanged around so long like anderson without panicking or even getting caught in those four rounds for the fight to be over.

So at end of day it was a great fight and the champion did what he had to do to win but he does have to pay little more respect to opponents.
