Anderson Silva gives shoulder to Chael Sonnen after weigh-in at UFC 148
After almost two years of waiting and much provocation from both sides, Anderson Silva e Chael Sonnen settle differences on Saturday night (07). The two have the most anticipated rematch of the year in the main fight of UFC 148, an event to be held in the city of Las Vegas, in the United States.

If Sonnen has provoked the Brazilian since 2010, Anderson seems to have gotten tired of keeping quiet and decided to return his rival's attacks. After saying he would break all of Chael's teeth (remember here), last week, at this Friday's weigh-in, the “Spider” threw a shoulder tackle at his opponent and had to be restrained by security guards.
