Drama in Brasil: Sonnen attacked, Silva persuaded by White
Dana White wanted it to be
an unprecedented spectacle. Silva and Sonnen fight at the football stadium
would be one of the biggest highlights in UFC history, but everything is
transfered, where else but - in Las Vegas.White announced it to Brazilians at a
press conference in Rio de Janeiro, to which both fighters arrived.
Even the press conference
was delayed 75 minutes because Silva was crazy when he heard about the new
plans. White had to 'crush' him for one hour to agree to fight with Sonnen in
America. The Brazilian believes that he deserved to shut up Sonnen's 'mouth' in
front of his fans. In the rematch, which the world is waiting for two years
we'll finally see if Anderson Silva is still unbeatable.
Everything has fallen,
according to Dana White, becouse of the hotel rooms. Rio is the UN Convention
helder during that time and the accommodation would not be enough. Or so
claimed the UFC's president.
However, White has been
relentless. If we can not at the stadium, we will go to Las Vegas. This
particularly sat well with Sonnen, who avoided the appearance in front of mad
Brazilians. He was even attacked the press conference.He was protected by seven
bodyguards ,arrived by helicopter from the airport to the hall but in a crowd
of reporters someone somehow shook him with electroshocker.
UFC's champion in the end
gave his consent, and the Brazilian media are reporting that White was so happy
for Silva's consent to a fight in Las Vegas that he whispered to him, that he
is No. 1 in the UFC, not Jon Jones that everyone's talking about.
So UFC 147 still has no
address, while the 'headline' should be Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort. UFC
148 will happen on the beginning of July when we will finally see a rematch in
the middleweight division.
