At the UFC 147 pre fight press conference a barely contained Chael Sonnen leaned forward and whispered in Chael Sonnen’s ear. UFC President Dana White was clearly taken aback, and separated the two.
During the UFC 148 pre fight conference call, the usually composed Silva unleashed on Sonnen.
This is going to be violent and I am sorry,” said The Spide. “I’m going to make sure that every one of his teeth are broken, that his arms are broken and his legs are broken. He’s not going to be able to walk out of the Octagon by himself. I can guarantee that. He will need a plastic surgeon afterwards.
Now BJ Penn.com is reporting that during the press conference, Silva upped the threat level.
With the rematch just a few days away, Silva decides to play timid once more at the press conference until the staredown which resulted in Silva getting rather close to Sonnen and apparently whispering, You’re gonna die, in Chael’s ear.
Chael will certainly have to put on the best performance of maybe any fighter if he truly plans on beating Silva in dominating fashion like he did for most of their first fight. However, if he walks away a loser on Saturday night, it means that Silva had his way with Chael, further cementing his legacy as the greatest fighter that we have ever seen.
