Chael Sonnen will get a second chance at Anderson Silva.

Even after Sonnen’s recent and repeated claims that Silva would never accept a fight with him, the middleweight champ has in fact agreed to once again put up his belt in an upcoming title defense, UFC president Dana White said on Saturday night. Sonnen has also agreed to the bout, according to White.

The fight is likely to take place in June, in Silva’s home country of Brazil.
