Uncle Chael is coming to brunch.
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is scheduled to meet with Chael Sonnen on Wednesday.
While no official word has been given surrounding the nature of the meeting, the rumor mill is already buzzing about a potential fight signing that would put the two adversaries against one another in early 2012.
“The bug got to Anaheim today, I get in tomorrow. We are having a meeting, and I AIN’T BRINGING FLOWERS….,” Sonnen posted on Twitter on Tuesday. “As Champion, I need nothing except my list of demands. Fighting on the date I’VE selected is my right for being better than you, Yes YOU.”
After submitting Brian Stann at UFC 136, Sonnen challenged Silva to a rematch of their dramatic UFC 117 clash in August 2010.
“Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck,” Sonnen told UFC commentator Joe Rogan in his post-fight interview. “Super Bowl weekend…the biggest rematch in the history of the sport. I’m calling you out, Silva.”
If things go according to plan, Sonnen would face Silva at UFC 143 on Feb. 4 at the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The inclusion of Sonnen and Silva could set up the biggest fight card in MMA history.
UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is scheduled to defend his belt against former Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz on that same night. Other potential bouts include Josh Koscheck vs. Carlos Condit and Anthony Pettis taking on Joe Lauzon.
There is a lot of bad blood between Silva and Sonnen, and it’ll be interesting to see how the meeting unfolds. In the mean time, Sonnen continues to taunt Silva and take verbal jabs at his wife.
“Andy won’t stand up to me, but he’ll have to sit before me tomorrow. Perhaps bowing and kissing my boot is in order. MEDIUM RARE!,” tweeted Sonnen.
The “medium rare” taunt stems from a past interview Sonnen did with Mauro Ranallo on “The MMA Show.”
“You tell Anderson Silva I’m coming over and I’m kicking down his back door and patting his little lady on the ass and I’m telling her to make me a steak, medium rare, just how I like it,” said Sonnen.
Those are fighting words, even to a single man.
