the controversial Chael Sonnen he doesn't mince his tongue. Even selected to compete for the light heavyweight belt against Jon Jones at UFC 159, on April 27th, the North American never fails to provoke his old enemies. This time, the loudmouth's target was Wanderlei Silva.
During his appearance on the UFC on Tonight program, which aired last Tuesday night (26), in the United States, Sonnen says that Wand's chin is more suspicious than Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, accused of killing his girlfriend in South Africa.
“Brian Stann has the power and skill to knock out Silva. Wanderlei has the same skill, and can certainly win this fight. The point is that Wanderlei needs this, and Brian doesn't. Wanderlei has a lot of race, but his chin is more suspicious than Oscar Pistorius's. For me, Brian Stann wins by knockout in the first round”, said the loudmouth. Sonnen also bet that the duel against Brian Stann could be the last of the Brazilian's MMA career.
"Wanderlei Silva is at the end of his career. He loves this sport, and is very sincere when he says he loves fighting, training and competing. The problem is that he hasn't been winning much. If he gets knocked out one more time, I believe it will be the end of the line for him”, he concluded.
