The news that the fight between Wanderlei Silva e Chael Sonnen had been transferred from TUF Brasil 3 Finale, on May 31st in São Paulo (SP), to UFC 175, on July 5th in Las Vegas (USA), took many people by surprise and frustrated the expectations of Brazilian fans , who were waiting to witness the long-awaited meeting of their rivals. Given the little information about the decision released by Ultimate, the Chael Sonnen took charge of the situation and explained the change.
“It’s business as usual. Not only did I get my fight back, but so did Mark Muñoz. Now when I go to Mark's gym, I feel happy to go train every day. I just don’t need to train as hard now,” said the American, during his appearance on the official newspaper “UFC Tonight”, in reference to the gym where he usually trains, the Reign Training Center, by friend Muñoz.

Sonnen also evaluated the change as positive, when asked about his opinion on Ultimate's decision by his benchmate on the program Kenny Florian. “It’s good news,” said the loudmouth, without hiding the laughter on his face. Unlike Chael, Wanderlei Silva has not yet commented on the postponement and transfer of the fight against his rival. Next Sunday (13), on TUF Brasil 3, the much talked about fight between the two technicians during the recordings will air.
