LAS VEGAS – Skeptics and cynics, beware: If you think Chael Sonnen is just running his mouth with no substance behind it, he might just be telling the truth.
In late April, just days before he boarded a plane with UFC president Dana White for a news conference in Brazil, Sonnen maintained there was no rematch signed between him and middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
On Monday, White told MMAjunkie.com Sonnen’s stories were legit and added a little more depth and intrigue to what the UFC is saying could be its biggest fight in history, “UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II” – a fight that nearly didn’t happen.
