Chael Sonnen looking to “straighten this thing out” with Wanderlei Silva

The question arose following UFC 159 after Chael Sonnen lost to Jon Jones in the nights main event whether or not he would retire. The former number one contender in both the light heavyweight and middleweight division is currently riding a two-fight losing streak.

Many would consider retiring on those terms, however Sonnen said no. In fact he has someone in mind and he called a famous Brazilian out on Fuel TV’s “UFC Tonight

“I have a lot of goals I want to achieve still, and retirement won’t help me get that done. I’m not going anywhere until me and Wanderlei [Silva] straighten this thing out once and for all.”

Both men are 36-years old and have both fought in numerous weight classes.

Silva responded to Sonnen’s challenge via Twitter and included a video from back in 2010.
