the american Chael Sonnen does not shy away from controversy. After him and Anderson Silva When they almost came to blows in the last press conference before the clash, last Tuesday (04), the North American spared no criticism of his Brazilian rival, who attacked him at the moment of the confrontation.

“I think he was trying to get disqualified. I think he wanted to start the fight here so he wouldn't have to fight on Saturday. I don't know what his intentions are, but it was very hard to keep a straight face when he did that, but he said it in Portuguese and English. He started in Portuguese, in the middle he spoke in English and ended in Portuguese again. It was difficult to take it too seriously, difficult to hold back the laughter”, teased Sonnen.
