As tension increases, due to the start of TUF Brasil 3 recordings approaching, public demonstrations by coaches Chael Sonnen e Wanderlei Silva they are multiplying. This Tuesday (07), the Brazilian wrote another chapter in the troubled history of his rivalry with the North American. On your official profile on Twitter, Wanderlei published a real outburst against Sonnen. There were dozens of messages published, due to the social network's 140-character limitation, and among them, in addition to harsh criticism of the opponent, a request for the fight against the loudmouth to take place at the Maracanã stadium.

In the long text, Wanderlei cited, what he considers, Sonnen's interference in Brazilian problems and stated that only the people of the country have the right, and the duty, to say what is wrong. Furthermore, Wand said he does not believe that there are Brazilian fans who are rooting for the North American, and not for him. The fighter also cited the conviction and imprisonment of the defendants in the “Mensalão” trial and said he wants an audience of over 100 people – which would be, by far, the largest in UFC history – for the TUF Brasil coaches' duel. 3.

Check out the full outburst below Wanderlei Silva:

"Love you! This bastard is not going to deceive us by saying this load of nonsense. It's no use, these are mine. They won't root for you. I count on the support of everyone. Now the time is coming to show how many we are. They will be scared by our size and our power, because as the song says: “because together we have the power”. There are clueless people rooting for this individual after everything he said about us. I don't believe. You have to root for us, come to our team. He will never again dare to say anything about our magnificent country. Only we have the right and duty to say what is wrong. He doesn't get involved in our problems. They are already in prison, some at home, although I think we should send all the monthly payers there to the Pedrinhas prison, in Maranhão. I want to fight him at Maracanã in front of 111.000 brothers, the biggest of all time. Let's stop Brazil. What do you think? Will it fill? There are many of us, there is no one for anyone. You give your power to whoever you want. If I'm there again it's because you want me to. Imagine the guy arriving and telling everyone that his store is shit. There is no internet! I am real!".
