“Anderson will to find a way to weasel out of that fight. I don’t know what his contractual obligations are as far as who he has to fight as a champion but they’re already laying the ground work… His manager Ed Soares is already making excuses for Anderson to not take that fight so yeah I think they’re going to try to weasel out of it. I don’t know what his obligations are contractually to the UFC but his obligations to the fans are that he needs to take that fight. Everyone of the fans know that Chael’s the number one contender and the guy that has a chance of beating him, can beat him and exposed his weaknesses in that fight. The fans want to see that fight and Anderson owes the fans that fight.”
Coach/Training partner of Chael Sonnen, Matt Lindland in a recent interview with MMAHQ talks about the proposed rematch between Sonnen and Silva.
With Sonnen’s side being somewhat vocal about not wanting to take a second fight with Sonnen, Lindland doesn’t think they are willing to take the fight.
Of course, as both sides weigh in on the issue, UFC president Dana White has said that he would be “dumb” not to book the fight as soon as possible.
Currently, Anderson Silva is still rehabbing a shoulder injury and is expected to be out the remainder of the year. However, there has been no definite timetable for his return.

Make Chael prove he’s worthy of the champ by taking one or two fights while Anderson heals up. If you look at his record, the dude isn’t anything special. Sure he had a good night against Anderson, but he lost. Then he was proven to be using steroids. wtf?! Let him fight a few more! Vitor maybe. If he’s all he says he is, that shouldn’t be a problem. What does Anderson have to prove? He’s beatin’ everybody. THEN>>if Chael does make it through Vitor (which I highly doubt) a healthy Anderson will just kick the shit out of him anyways. No point getting all red in the face for doucher Chael not getting his hyped-up fight right away. Dude is going to lose either way.
Chael is already on top of the food chain and ready to take andersonnen belt..and u already knew that tho didn’t u. Chael already treated Andy like a bitch .. who else is going to stand in his way ..Vitor? I’m a Vitor fan and I don’t wish that on Vitor bc Chael will probably re-injure Vitor’s shoulder. Your namesake is a pusssy and scared to fight the MONSTER! Andersonnen doesn’t have to fight Chael.. just send the belt to TEAM QUEST in west linn, Oregon and Chael will save the ass beating on the next # 1 contender. Andy’s a chicken shit u using some bullshitt name.. U fkn troll, where’s your real name besides “u suck Andy’s dorkdongdick” u faggzz!
Thanx for setting the record straight…………chael is the best at middleweight and “andy” wont get lucky next time………btw……I love calling hi andy!!!!
