Vitor Belfort also talked his way into a shot against Jones and nearly beat him as well.

I must have missed those fights then, or they weren't televised. I don't recall Sonnen beating anyone.
And I don't think he was "close" to beating Silva. I think Silva was in control the whole time, letting Sonnen do as he please, then ended the fight at the snap of a finger w/the leg triangle.
But we'll never know for sure. Wasn't Sonnen supposed to retire after his second loss to Silva? Too bad he's all talk in every aspect.
