The two postponements of the fight against Chael Sonnen, which was scheduled to take place on May 24th and was eventually rescheduled for July 5th, does not seem to have diminished the momentum of Wanderlei Silva for the long-awaited confrontation with the rival. On your official profile on Instagram, the Brazilian released a photo montage in which Sonnen appears being knocked out and he is standing close to his opponent, prepared to finish the fight. In the caption of the image, Wand took the opportunity to provoke the North American.
“It’s going to be like this! First hand, I already reveal how the fight will end on July 5th (against Chael Sonnen)! I’m training a lot!”, wrote the fighter on the social network. The photo used by Wanderlei in the montage is of the rematch between Sonnen and Anderson Silva, carried out in July 2012. The moment of the click is the sequence when the North American fell to the ground shortly after attempting a spinning strike, and had already turned meme on the internet since the end of the middleweight belt dispute.
On July 5th, at Mandalay Bay, in Las Vegas (USA), Wanderlei Silva e Chael Sonnen finally put their differences to the test. On that date, technicians from the The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 meet in the octagon in a fight on the main card of UFC 175. The main fight of the night marks the middleweight champion's second title defense Chris Weidman, who faces the Brazilian Lyoto Machida. In the co-main fight, Ronda Rousey puts the women's bantamweight belt on the line against the challenger Alexis Davis.
