Get used to it now. Until the day they finally step into the octagon for the TUF Brasil 3 coaches' duel, Wanderlei Silva e Chael Sonnen should occupy the MMA news, whether with subtle jabs or strong statements. This Thursday (24), in England, Sonnen was unable to escape the subject of Wanderlei and took the opportunity to reveal the existence of a list of demands from the Brazilian for the confrontation between the two.

“I want to fight Wanderlei and he put a number of restrictions on the fight, 'I'll only face you if…', and it was a big list. He even asked for a 30-minute fight, which doesn't exist anywhere in the world. For a guy who gets tired in 30 seconds, I thought it was a strange request, but I agreed. Then he made a determination for (the fight) to be in Brazil, I think he thought that would keep me away, but, again, there is one more thing marked on the list”, said Sonnen, in a press conference, broadcast by the channel “ MMA Crazy TV”, from YouTube.

PUBLICITY:

Last Tuesday (22), Chael Sonnen was informed live by Dana White that he would be coach of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3, during the “FOX Sports Live” program – of which he is the anchor – on North American TV. This put the loudmouth in a situation as rare as it is curious: Sonnen now has two fights already scheduled for Ultimate. On November 16th he will face Rashad evans in the co-main event of UFC 167, an event that marks the organization's 20th anniversary, and then faces Wand, in a match with no set date yet, in the TUF coaches' duel.
