Chael Sonnens hype-tåg är igång igen. Trots att det potentiellt är 4 till 6 månader kvar innan han får sin andra chans mot Anderson Silva. Trots att Sonnen dominerade matchen under den större delen av den, så plockade dock Silva hem matchen 3:10 in i femte ronden via en submission. Sonnen däremot, vägrar se sig själv som besegrad.
HETAST JUST NU
”There’s absolutely going to be a sequel. Part two is tentatively scheduled for New Year’s weekend, it may take place Super Bowl weekend. Either way, it will be in Vegas. Last time I defeated the myth, this time I’m gonna defeat the man…. The only thing [that’s going to be] different is that I’m leaving there with the belt. That’s it. We were one minute away from pulling it off. Look, if I had beat him, I would have had to come back and beat him again anyways. So nothing in my career has changed. I was the best fighter before the fight, I’m the best fighter after it…. We’re not here to get along. I’m not here to be number two. It’s number one or let’s move on, and I think that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”
Vi får väl se vad de båda har ändrat lagom tills nästa sammandrabbning.
