Wanderlei Silva was forced Wednesday to pull out of his fight (per Brazilian site Combate via Matt Erickson of MMAJunkie.com) with Chael Sonnen. Instead of Sonnen facing off against Silva, he will instead get to fight Vitor Belfort.
Belfort stepped up, passed all his exams and is now scheduled to face Sonnen at UFC 175.
People were excited for Sonnen vs. Silva, but many expected Chael to pull out the win. In this one, fans will be split on who’s going to come out on top.
Let’s take a look at whether Sonnen or Belfort has the edge in the fight.
