UFC president Dana White announced this Wednesday that the long-awaited rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen will not happen in São Paulo as expected, and due to political problems the duel was transferred to Rio de Janeiro. However, the always controversial North American made a point of putting a caveat on the change of location.
Through his Twitter account, Sonnen, in an enigmatic way, threatened to deny the fight if a request made by him was not met by the organization, although he did not reveal what the demand would be.
"Not so fast. I will not confirm anything until my number one demand is met”, said Chael through the microblog.
The long-awaited rematch between Anderson Silva e Chael Sonnen It was scheduled to take place at the Pacaembu Stadium, in São Paulo, but after failing to obtain the permit, the event was transferred to the Morumbi Stadium. But after several problems renting the venue, owned by São Paulo Futebol Clube, the UFC decided to take the show to the Engenhão Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro.

I hope Anderson Silva is well for this fight because losing the belt in Brazil would be bad but losing to this little shit Sonnen would be shameful.
The people of São Paulo only think about money, and not about satisfying the people's joy!! It would be really cool to be at Pacaembu, as Andersom represents Coringão and Babaca, for the sake of provocation, would represent Palmeiras. The people be damned!!
He will lose to Sonnen. Once a friend of mine asked to take a photo with Anderson, and the response was: “get lost!!!”
Another friend of mine was in the United States, and met Sonnen, and said that the guy is a nice guy.
I want to see Anderson take another beating from Sonnen, but this time Sonnen doesn't mess up.
Then I want to see Victor Belfort beat Sonnen
