Suspended indefinitely from the UFC due to accusations of money laundering, the American Chael Sonnen continues his series of provocations against the Brazilian Anderson Silva. This time Sonnen criticized the performance of the middleweight champion of the Ultimate against Vitor belfort, last Saturday, with a new confrontation between the two in mind.

“Thank you Anderson for revealing yet another weak point for me to exploit in our rematch. You don’t impress Uncle Chael by hitting a poor punching bag”, said the American.

Sonnen came to dominate most of the fight at UFC 117, but was surprised by the sharp jiu-jitsu of Anderson, whose training partners are his brothers. Rodrigo Minotauro e Rogério Minotouro. For a possible second fight, the middleweight guarantees to be prepared for any initiative from Anderson, guaranteeing that he will emerge victorious from the octagon after the fight.  

“You may have beaten Vitor (Belfort), but you showed me the last remaining page of your fight plan. Enjoy your good time, because it will end the moment we face each other. I will cut it like wheat again,” he assured.
