UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who has been the scourge of anything remotely named Chael Sonnen, spoke to MMAWeekly.com about what the significance of Sonnen’s constant abrasive and vitriolic attacks meant to him personally.
The response by Silva, who had been in attendance at the 2011 Fighters Only World MMA (mixed martial arts) Awards, was casual and straight to the point.
“Nothing” he said.
He elaborated a bit more on why Sonnen’s antics were inconsequential to him.
“I’m in the UFC for fights,” Silva explained. “Chael, Mark Munoz, Vitor Belfort, Brian Stann, Chris Leben, I’m staying here for fight. This is my work. It’s my life.”
Of the above mentioned combatants, Silva has defeated three of them—Sonnen, Belfort and Leben.
Since Silva defeated Sonnen back at UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) 117, the latter has done everything in his power to instigate a rematch and might just get it, but first he needs to take care of others vying for UFC gold.
Also, before any type of rematch takes place, “The Spider” needs to fully recuperate following a damaged shoulder he sustained prior to the Yushin Okami fight at UFC 134.
