Out of combat since his victory over Brian Stann at UFC Japan 2013 in March, Wanderlei Silva he even seems convinced in his idea of ​​facing Chael Sonnen, even with the loudmouth already having a fight against Rashad evans scheduled for November. In an interview with the “MMA Fighting” website, the Brazilian revealed that he had already spoken to Ultimate management about the matter and took the opportunity to needle his rival.

“I already talked to the boss and said that I will fight in Brazil or Oregon (Sonnen's home state). I want to hit him in front of his friends. I want them to see how much I'm going to beat him up. I'm even willing to fight in his garden. You can call all your friends. I want Sonnen to be ashamed of how much he's going to get beaten by me. I'm back to training, and soon I'll be ready to fight. I don’t know if this year, but the way things are in the UFC, you have to be prepared to fight at any time,” said Wand.

The former PRIDE champion stated that a possible defeat for Sonnen to Rashad evans at UFC 167 would not be an obstacle to a future fight between him and the loudmouth. “I want this fight whatever the outcome of his fight against Rashad. I do not care. I'm not the type of fighter who only accepts fighting a guy who has won. This fight against Sonnen is interesting, and I have to be ready, because he is a good athlete, and I have to be prepared to do what the fans expect me to do: beat him up. The problem is that Rashad is going to finish him off. I hope he leaves some for me,” he concluded.
