Although Anderson Silva is set to defend his title against his rival Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, that bout could fall apart due to an injury. As we’ve seen in the past few weeks, the injury bug has been biting a handful of fighters and creating a mess for scheduling UFC events.
The rematch is one of a handful of rematches that fight fans feel they need to see. Just like the buildup for the rematch between Silva and Sonnen, these rematches have quite a bit of hype behind them.
Even if the bouts won’t headline a UFC event based around hype they certainly will hold their own on any card based on impact in the division and excitement.
