Chael Sonnen vs. Wanderlei Silva Talks are Cancelled
By Anthony L. Gonzalez, Real Combat Media Editor in Chief
Las Vegas, NV (August 22, 2013)– Chael Sonnen vs Wanderlei Silva talks fell through this week when Wanderlei asked for the PPV points on the UFC 167 PPV. UFC 167 is scheduled for November 16th in Las Vegas featuring GSP vs Johnny Hendricks as the main event. Dana White wanted Silva vs. Sonnen as the co-main event. Now there is a possibility that Vitor Belfort may step in to fight Chael Sonnen after Dana White ended negotiations.
“[Silva] said he won’t fight him unless he gets PPV [points] so I guess he’s gonna retire,” DanaWhite wrote via text message to Ariel Helwani
Here are some recent Comments below that Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort made this week.
I’m the man of the hour, Joe, too sweet to be sour, what you see is what you get and what you don’t is better yet. I’m the women’s pick and the men’s regret and if you went against Chael Sonnen you made a bad bet.
“Now, right here on the UFC’s new home, FOX Sports 1, Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall, 205 pounds, boy until I met you, I didn’t know they stacked crap that high! Whoa, whoa, whoa I will let you know when I’m done Joe. I just got done with a world champion, if you think I want to add a middle-aged comedian just for the goddamn pleasure of it, you better think again!”
“Wanderlei Silva, in three months, you and the bad guy!”
Wanderlei had already responded, just prior to the bout, but it was Belfort that would chime in via Twitter.
Vitor Belfor @vitorbelfort
@sonnench don’t run from me. Why are u asking for wand? Let’s fight. @sonnench let’s fight Why u are asking for wand , u have to fight me. Lets do it @danawhite @lorenzofertitta
Not long after, Sonnen responded on live television.
“I’m in,” said Chael. “If Vitor said my name first, I’m in. That’s all you have to do is say my name, you do not have to ask me twice. I’m like Beyonce’s child—say my name, say my name.
