Silva was in trouble during that fight. He was being controlled, taken down at will, punched in the face at will, and 2 minutes away from soundly losing the fight. Was he in trouble as far as the fight being stopped? Not really. Was he in trouble of losing? He sure as hell was.

Also, Sonnen may have not many tko's on his record, but the dude is strong as hell. A guy like that pounding on you is always the right couple punches away from ending a fight... especially when you're in his zone of expertise. I'm not talking about a lucky haymaker.
