Josuel Distak, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s trainer, recently took time to talk to Tatame about the champion and his thoughts on his upcoming rematch against Chael Sonnen. Here’s the quote:
“Sonnen was 100% and showed what he’s got… Now it’s the time for him to see Anderson from the right angle. I want to see how it’ll be like this time…Anderson Silva is taking care of himself in order to be 100% recovered from this injury. I think he’s coming back to Brazil to train with the team and, for sure, now you’ll see Anderson at his best. It’s not just him, but Anderson also wants this rematch to happen.”
This is certainly going to be one of the most anticipated rematches in a long time, and despite the “mouth” of Sonnen, you can’t take anything away from how he performed the first time against Anderson Silva. Neither can you take anything away from Silva who showed championship heart against the number one contender. Perhaps if Sonnen decides to train some jiu-jitsu it could make things even more interesting.
