The UFC has released the first official preview trailer for UFC 148, which is specifically tailored around the main event: Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen II.
With an incredible UFC record of 14-0 with nine successful UFC middleweight title defenses, Silva has only seen a true challenge inside the Octagon from his arch nemesis: Chael P. Sonnen.
“The Gangster from Oregon” shocked Silva at their UFC 117 battle with his crisp boxing, which allowed him to set up his signature takedowns and ground-and-pound.
Sonnen won the first four rounds of the fight on all judges’ scorecards before “The Spider” managed to lock on a triangle choke midway through the fifth and final round, securing the submission victory.
Since then, Silva has successfully knocked out Vitor Belfort and Yushin Okami, while Sonnen worked his way to a rematch by submitting Brian Stann and winning a close decision over Michael Bisping.
The July 7 main event bout in Las Vegas, Nevada, promises to be one of biggest fights in UFC history, and don’t expect trash-talker extraordinaire Chael Sonnen to let anyone think otherwise.
