Given the countless WWE-esque things that have come out of Sonnen’s mouth over the past couple of years, many questioned whether his threat was serious. Today on The Jim Rome Show, the controversial wrestler pulled his unprecedented proposal off the table due to Silva’s unresponsiveness.
That offer was good when I made it, but it’s like any offer, they’ve got to expire, Sonnen stated. Apparently, that didn’t work. I’m doing anything I can to lure him out, and yes, I would have absolutely done that. I’ll do a winner-takes-all, I’ll do any stipulation that he wants. All he needed to do was stand up and give me a thumbs up. If he wanted to accept that offer, all he needed to do was nod to me, have one of his handlers come in the back and say, ‘Anderson accepts.’
He did the exact opposite. He went to the media and said, ‘I do not want to fight that guy.’ So what can I do? Now I gotta come up with a new offer.
