RIO DE JANEIRO — One of the big storylines heading into UFC 134 has been whether or not Chael Sonnen, who has criticized the country and its fighters for over a year, will show up to corner his training partner Yushin Okami. Prior to Sonnen announcing that he wasn’t going to attend, we talked to some Brazilian MMA fans about his comments and disappearance act. Their responses were as passionate as they come.

Having an entire library of Pride events can be a satisfying feeling for any MMA fan, and it can also help to introduce newer fans to the biggest stars of the sport and the fights that defined them.
Fighters like Wanderlei Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, Mirko “Cro Cop” Flipovic, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Kazushi Sakuraba all made names for themselves fighting in the organization before its buy-out from the UFC in 2007.
The 10-year run produced some of the best fights in MMA history, and these 10 DVDs showcase the best of the best when it comes to Pride.

Birds chirp, Anderson Silva sings and Burger King smiles.
Burger King recently kicked off their campaign starring the UFC middleweight champion, and the first commercial was released on Wednesday.
In the video above, fans get to see “The Spider” lip syncing as he honors a BK stacker with the soothing tunes of Minnie Riperton’s Loving You.
It was announced in July that Silva signed an endorsement deal with the Whopper-maker for a campaign that is expected to run throughout 2011.
As initially reported by MMA Mania, a Burger King rep had the following to say about signing the legendary fighter.
“Anderson has a great identity with the brand, is an idol of many audiences, especially young people, our main customers. We believe he has much to contribute to make the new campaign more fun and impactful.”
We all know Silva can fight, but what do you think about his singing chops?

And here we have UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva lip-synching to Minnie Riperton as part of his new endorsement deal with Burger King. The lack of business regulation in Brazil means that BK can legally sell five-patty Deathburgers there, and we totally believe that Silva eats those things all the time. The King is dead. Long live the King.

After the expiration of his Strikeforce deal, current light-heavyweight champion Dan Henderson remains unsigned, but is apparently a wanted man.
In recent days, UFC executives including Lorenzo Fertitta have confirmed that the UFC would be interested in possibly having middleweight champ Anderson Silva fight on its upcoming Nov. 12 event, a show that would mark the promotion’s anticipated debut on FOX. Some reports have had him potentially facing Henderson.
At this stage, however, nothing is even close to concrete, including Henderson’s future. Henderson’s manager Aaron Crecy told MMA Fighting that he currently remains a free agent.
“Nothing is signed,” he said.
Crecy said that preliminary talks have just begun a few days ago after Henderson returned from vacation. According to Crecy, since defeating Fedor Emelianenko on July 30, Henderson hasn’t spent much time thinking about his next home.
That said, Henderson is open to a possible UFC overture, including one as big as headlining the first-ever UFC network TV card. The prospective fight would still depend on a few things, including Silva winning, coming out healthy, and having a willingness to fight again just over two months later. Along with that, Henderson would have to be signed to a UFC deal, something he would clearly consider.
“He’s open to going back,” Crecy said. “And to face Anderson, that’s probably the only fight he’d consider at 185. If they offered it, I’m sure he’d accept that, but that’s my own opinion.”
Henderson (28-8) turned 41 on Wednesday. In his Strikeforce tenure, he went 3-1, defeating Emelianenko, Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante and Renato Sobral while losing only to Jake Shields. Altogether, he’s won six of his last seven.
Back in March 2008, Henderson and Silva faced off in a UFC champion vs. PRIDE champion matchup. Henderson had his moments in the first round, but Silva emerged victorious with a second-round rear naked choke.
Henderson’s place in the annals of MMA history may already be safe, but he still finds motivation in challenges, and Silva would certainly present a challenge.
“At this point of his career, he just wants to have good, big fights,” Crecy said.
