Anderson Silva is one of the main names in UFC history and the Brazilian opened up about his relationship with Chael Sonnen, as well as telling plans he has with his former rival.
Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen have an extreme rivalry in the UFC. Former Ultimate rivals, both starred in historic fights for the franchise and are remembered to this day for their heavy exchanges. However, it seems that the arguments, punches and pinpricks are behind us. Including the Brazilian who wants to have a “barbecue” with his old opponent.
In an interview with “Combate”, Anderson Silva made it clear that Chael Sonnen is no longer seen as a deadly rival. It’s been ten years since the fight between the two and Spider just wants a barbecue to relax. The Brazilian said that even some sponsors were willing to promote the meeting between two great names in UFC history.
Of course you will, man. We just have to arrange our schedules, but I already invited him to go. I said: “You have to go. This will pay off a lot for both of us, let’s go. We’re old now, two old men, let’s have a barbecue”“, said Anderson Silva. It’s important to remember that both are no longer part of the UFC card.
“Jthere are even calling me from barbecue companies, a lot of things, let’s make this barbecue happen. (My wife has already forgiven him) A long time ago. He was supposed to have gone there for the barbecue. But at the time it was in Brazil, then in Brazil I advised him not to go. I said: “Brother, in Brazil I think it’s better not”“, added Anderson Silva about the possible meeting with Chael Sonnen.
Before this ‘barbecue of the titans’, Anderson Silva has a fight ahead of him. The Brazilian will face Jake Paulo in the ring and will have a boxing match that promises to shake the world. The confrontation between him and the youtuber will take place on the 29th of October and, even with the provocations, Spider just waits for the confrontation to guarantee another victory in his career.
I think he’s trying to promote, but it’s cool that he promotes and thinks that way. This will give our team more motivation and for me to keep doing my best“, added Anderson Silva about the boxing match he will have ahead of him against Jake Paul.
