Silva was captured forcing Kalyl to tap on numerous occasions as he locked in leg and arm bars.
Hilariously, at one point Kalyl - speaking in Brazilian translated to English - tells his dad: "A tap only ends the round."

Sonnen in 2010 was just minutes away from dethroning Silva of the UFC middleweight title in what would have been a shock upset.

The American had won all four rounds previously until he was locked in a triangle armbar and forced to tap.
It sealed a stunning come-from-behind victory for Silva, who also won the rematch by knockout two years later.

"I do now know, so that is cleared up.”
Silva is set to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this year following a glittering MMA career.
And his sons Kalyl and Gabriel are carrying on the fighting name in both kickboxing and boxing.
