Despite his loss at UFC 117, Chael Sonnen has earned an immediate rematch with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
UFC president Dana White, who’s busy with a final media blitz for this week’s UFC 118 event in Boston, today confirmed the plans while on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” though a date has not been determined for the rematch.
Sonnen dominated four and a half rounds of the Aug. 7 fight before Silva scored a come-from-behind triangle-choke victory in the fifth and final round.
