Sonnen: I hope Anderson Silva has a great life

“You know sometimes as athletes we get so close to the trees we can’t see the forest.You get so wrapped up in it you forget, no, wait a minute, this is a sport. We’re gonna compete and we’re gonna shake hands.

“I do not like Anderson Silva, but I do not wish anything bad in life for him. I want to beat him, I want to do everything I can to him in the ring but I hope he has a great life.

“I don’t have something against him on a level like that.”
