This weekend plays host to the most anticipated rematch in UFC history as Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen clash for the UFC middleweight belt. For the past two years Chael has been on the attack, making many ridiculous claims and jokes at Silva’s expense.
Silva finally snapped on the UFC media call and said with certainty that he would not only break Chael’s face but also break all the teeth in his mouth. It was the first time anyone, including UFC president Dana White, had heard the champion speak with such passion and anger.
The fight headlines a fantastic card that will also see Tito Ortiz enter the cage for the last time in his illustrious MMA career. Ortiz holds the record for most title defenses at light heavyweight with five and also holds the record for most fights in UFC history with 26.
The rubber match with Forrest Griffin promises to live up to the bar set in their first two affairs as both Ortiz and Griffin know how to entertain fans. No matter the outcome, Ortiz will walk away from the sport as a legend.
The rest of the card features some highly touted prospects looking to legitimize themselves and some fighters who are looking to stave off getting cut by getting back in the win column.
