While Sonnen will no longer find himself entering
the proverbial lion’s den, he admits he’s a little disappointed he’ll
miss out on being a part of such a historic event. As for Silva, Sonnen believes he has a right to be upset, even if he
is a “fake Brazilian,” just like his countrymen Wanderlei Silva and
Vitor Belfort.
