If you’re like me, you’re instantly interested once you hear Wanderlei Silva start a sentence with, “In Brazil, we have a saying…” You add the fact that he happens to be speaking to Chael Sonnen when he says it, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for something memorable.
Here’s the scene in a video put out by Silva’s Wand Fight Team this week: while in Austin, Texas to do some promo work surrounding UFC Fight Night 22 last Wednesday, Silva and Sonnen find themselves riding in the same UFC van. They talk about Sonnen’s next fight, which at the time was a scheduled rematch with middleweight champ Anderson Silva (this is before Sonnen got some bad news from the CSAC, remember) and it prompts Wanderlei to give Sonnen, who makes for an uncomfortably captive audience, a little unsolicited advice.
