Wanderlei Silva ensured that his rival in the reality show The Ultimate Fighter Brazil, Chael Sonnen, you will not have security problems during your visit to the country to record the episodes.
The announcement that the North American would be one of the program's coaches aroused the public's curiosity due to the controversies caused by the fighter in the past. At the time of his first fight against Anderson Silva, Sonnen made several provocative statements against the country and several other targets, including the Nogueira brothers, Wanderlei and Anderson himself. Since then, the North American has not spared any controversy.
This made even his mother, Claudia Sonnen, fear for her son's physical integrity in Brazil. However, Wanderlei told the North American newspaper USA Today that this will not be a problem. “He will be 100% safe. Only one guy will beat him, and that guy is me. No one will touch him again”, said the former PRIDE champion.
Wanderlei once again took the opportunity to justify his discomfort with Sonnen's personality. “This is a joke for him, but it is not a joke for me and my country. But don't worry, Sonnen. You will be safe, but you will pay for it,” she commented. “I don't like fake people, I don't like jokes. I don’t like guys who talk shit about me, and when you do, you’re going to have to pay for it.”
After training the teams on the television program, Sonnen and Wanderlei are expected to face each other in the octagon. However, the confrontation does not yet have a defined date or location.
