Chael Sonnen began a pro wrestlingesque tirade towards Anderson Silva following his recent victory against Brian Stann at UFC 136. He took the microphone away from Joe Rogan during his post fight interview and said, "Anderson Silva you absolutely suck!"
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.
With a sport that has been proven time and time again that anything can happen, the UFC 136 bout card was put together to manufacture a guaranteed win for all fans. If you're the type that picks and chooses which events to watch at home, this one was a no-brainer to get the most bang out of your 59.99 HD pay-per-view bucks. We knew that the main event was going to be as epic as a Hollywood movie fight scene. We knew that Kenny Florian was going to be the toughest test Jose Aldo was going to face. We knew Chael was going to spit some outrageous banter once he had a chance to grab a mic. We knew that we were going to want to see Phan versus Garcia fight a third time, even though they haven't yet fought the second time. Kudos again to Joe Silva. Job well done. My turn to take a crack at picking who's next for the winners and losers of last night.
The UFC will be holding a Pre-Fight Press Conference today (Oct.5) for Saturday nights UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard 3 event. The Press Conference is scheduled to begin at 9am PT/12pm ET live from The Toyota Center in Houston, which is also where Saturdays card will take place.
Vitor Belfort has been fighting in MMA professionally since 1996. During the years he has had his fair share of rivalries, but recently Chael Sonnen has opened up a can of worms and Vitor is not too happy about it.
Anderson Silva on Saturday further established his claim as pound for pound the best fighter in the world today quite arguably the best ever with his win over Yushin Okami at UFC 134. It was Silva's 15th overall and 14th in the UFC. When a guy is that dominant in his weight class and disposing of all challengers in his path, the next path would be for a guy to move up in weight and fight guys at that weight class to further cement his legacy in the sport.
