It was back in November when the MMA world had a hay day on Canada's own Michael Lansberg when Chael Sonnen got up and left the set of 'Off The Record'. Well it looks like Sonnen might have forgiven Lansberg and given him a second chance. Today TSN.ca released a sneak peak at the interview which will air in its entirety today (Dec.23) at 2pm PT/5pm ET.
Yesterday via Dan Henderson's twitter account he shared his thoughts regarding the #1 contender status in the middleweight division of the UFC. Michael Bisping who won his main event fight against Jason "Mayhem" Miller last Saturday at the TUF 14 Finale, believed a win would put him in line for a title shot.
The fans wanted it, however I do not think anyone wanted it as much as Chael Sonnen. Sonnen got his wish and will get a second chance at Anderson Silva's middleweight championship.
Will Chael Sonnen ever get the chance at Anderson Silva's middleweight championship? It doesn't really seem to matter in Chael's mind. The man truly believes that he already is the champion and Silva is just holding his belt...
First Junior Dos Santos splits with his long time manager Ed Soares, now Anderson Silva is not too pleased with him. I don't know what this says about Soares as a manager, but Silva does not like the way he is speaking about his future and who he will be fighting next. Soares spoke about Anderson possibly fighting Chael Sonnen and he responded quickly that he is the one responsible for his fighting career.
At UFC 136 Chael Sonnen made his return to the octagon for the first time since his loss to Anderson Silva almost 14 months ago. He took on a very game Brian Stann and handled him with ease, finishing the fight in the second round via arm triangle choke.
It was announced earlier today at the UFC Fan Expo in Houston, Texas by UFC President Dana White that the fans had voted for the reigning pound for pound king Anderson Silva would be the cover athlete for THQ's latest UFC video game, UFC Undisputed 3.
Georges St-Pierre who is in most peoples books the number 2 pound for pound fighter in the world, behind of course Anderson Silva. The world wants to see that match-up and Dana White says that it is only a matter of time at this point.
Ed Garcia of Fatlip Radio had the opportunity to chat with UFC Premier Tom Wright this morning. He was expecting to chat with Nick Diaz, so his questions about triathlons did not really work out.
Anderson Silva was all smiles Saturday night, having dispatched Yushin Okami in highlight-reel fashion, having retained his UFC middleweight title, and having extended his records for consecutive victories and title defences in the promotion. As MMASucka columnist Trevor Dueck said, he may very well be the sport's Muhammad Ali. When Kenny Florian asked Silva who his next opponent should be, he answered with a wry smile “my clone”.
