The rivalry between Wanderlei Silva e Chael Sonnen is worrying Scott Coker, president of Bellator. This is because the director himself guaranteed that he will reinforce security in all environments where the two fighters are, so that no incidents occur before next Saturday (24), when they will face each other in New York (USA), at Bellator 180 .

“We will have security everywhere these two are together. There is a genuine disgust there, which has been there for three years when Wanderlei felt disrespected. He attacked Sonnen and they had a fight. This wasn't just for the cameras. It's something really personal between them... It will be electric when the cage door closes”, declared Scott, in an interview with the website 'MMA Junkie' (USA).
The fight mentioned by Coker happened during the recordings of TUF Brasil 3, in 2014. At the time, the two fighters, who had been teasing each other during the recordings of the reality show, ended up coming to blows, requiring the athletes participating in the season to separate.
