Chael Sonnen has been attempting to get Anderson Silva into the octagon, though it seems his attempts are not enough as Silva has not yet accepted the challenge.
Sonnen seems quite restless and annoyed as he’s quickly growing tired of the lack of reaction or response from Silva as he spoke on ESPN radio this week, Sonnen spoke about his plans for the future if Silva refuses the bout:
“As it played that through my head, I saw a lot of different outcomes, but not in a million years did I think (Anerson Silva going silent) would happen,” Chael Sonnen told ESPN1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas this week.
“That is not the heritage of a Brazilian fighter or a Brazilian man in general. Brazilians will fight. Brazilians will come forward with courage. If you challenge them, they will step forward. That’s not in his culture or his heritage to just sit there and get clowned in front of the world, but he did it.”
“The fight’s going to happen for sure. I’ll be Anderson’s next fight. I don’t know that he’ll be mine.”
“I’m not going to sit around and wait for him ,,, I don’t just need the title, I need to be the best fighter in the world. If there’s someone who can knock me off and beat me then I don’t deserve to be there. So god bless them and let that guy have his shot.”
