Round 5: Didn’t appear to be a knockdown, so we go to the fifth. Punches in bunches from both guys. Silva looks much fresher bouncing around. Silva waiting for Sonnen to come in, and when he does, Silva lands a combo. Sonnen rushes in, ties up agains the ropes. Ref allows it for around 10 seconds before separating. Sonnen bleeding from the nose as a brief timeout is called to clean it up. Okie dokie.

Final 20 seconds of this one, Silva lands a pair of jabs, circles around, hits Sonnen about nine times unanswered, and that’s it. Sonnen raising his hands in the air looking like he had a five-round war. Silva looks like he didn’t fight at all. Good little piece of nostalgia, but certainly not any sort of knockdown, drag out affair.
