Regardless of the intention, the hit was legal and the ref made the right call in letting it slide. It isn't his job to officiate based on the intention, they can only deal with the outcome. To say the ref should of done something is like saying you should get murder charges when you get in a fist fight.

They should look at it this way,
IF that knee hit Shales Face
1) he woulda been out COLD
2) his face would have been f---in MASHED UP.

Don't care if it was legal, yes the thigh technically did hit Chaels face. The damage was to the chest. Did Silva try and cheat, IMO yes he had full intentions of hitting Chael in the face with that knee. Silva did grab Sonnens short and did land a hard punch from it. Did he have to get wiped off because he was trying to rub vaseline everywhere, sure did. Did Silva change the way people will look at MMA forever or whatever the fck he said, UM NO. Piss off Anderson

You started off with this, and this is where i stopped, cause obviously your post was only gonna get dumber from there.
Dana White at the post fight press conference said out right there was no illegal knee, there is no point in questions about it as far as Dana White, The Ref, or even Sonnen is concern. it was legal. Get over it.

If that knee had hit Chael in the face I am pretty damn sure even though he was knocked out his lips still would have been flapping.
This was the best possible outcome. Silva finishes off his "toughest" opponent in less than 2 rounds, then gets to be the bigger man, the true professional while still making one last dig at him (re: BBQ)
Chael will be left haunted with is performance. I wonder how crow does taste...
