Ed Soares Talks Chael Sonnen And His Anderson Silva Comments.
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has been the subject of several negative “hype inducing” comments from recent Octagon winner Chael Sonnen(for those that aren’t in the loop he just beat Nate Marquardt at UFC 109. Silva’s manager, Ed Soares doesn’t seem to have any problems with responding in kind, saying:
We are fine if this is what the UFC wants, but if you look at this logistically, Sonnen should fight Demian Maia first. Demian beat up easily, by submission, so why not make them fight first, to determine who gets a shot at the title…It’s funny, but really, who actually listens to what Chael Sonnen has to say? The only time people listen is when he talks about Anderson. Who is he, really? If you walk down the street and you mention his name, does anyone really know who this guy is? Likely not, but if you mention Anderson Silva, people know the name…Chael’s also said a few things about Anderson’s choice of clothes and that he wears earrings, didn’t he? Sounds to us like he may have a crush on Anderson.”
UFC had said previous to the UFC 109 bout that the winner of Sonnen and Marquardt would be the number one contender in the division but perhaps Sonnen will look to avenge his first round submission loss to Demian Maia(UFC 95). In any case Silva will first take on uber dangerous opponent Vitor Belfort at UFC 112, with Sonnen having to wait for word of his title shot. (quote via SportsNet)
