Chael Sonnen to fulfil his father’s dream by acquiring UFC title – UFC News
Chael Sonnen always dreamt of becoming the UFC Champion by defeating Anderson Silva but now the situation has become even more critical for the USA mixed martial artist. Sonnen revealed that it was his father’s last wish for him to become the UFC champion.
“It was on his deathbed, quite literally it was among the last things I ever said to him. He was great, he was very supportive whatever I wanted to do,” revealed Sonnen.
He added, “was all in and he would of loved this, if he could be here right now he'd be having a blast.”
Sonnen was then asked about his rival Anderson Silva. As furious as ever, Sonnen replied, “He did everything he could do just to get out of this fight. Silva sucks and I'm going to destroy him on the seventh. He will never ask for a rematch, mark my words.
He's not going to ask on Monday morning after the beating I've already put on him once, that I will have put on him twice by then, only to have me lay on him a third time.”
Sonnen and Silva will be going head to head in July. It will be a rematch between the two. The first fight was won by Silva, even though Sonnen was the better performer. Just seconds away from the fight to end, Silva gripped Sonnen in a submission move and
made him submit. Sonnen had won 4.5 rounds of the fight but just the last few seconds cost him the title.
As of now, both fighters are involved in the war of words. Surprisingly, this time even Silva has spoken much trash about Sonnen, something the middleweight champion tends to avoid usually.
Two weeks back, Anderson Silva lashed out on Sonnen, saying he will break every limb of the American fighter and that this will be a new era of the sport. Silva even said that what he will do in the ring will change the sport forever and that Sonnen will
not be able to walk out of the ring.
The fight has already become the most anticipated UFC event of all time and now fans have to wait to see which fighter will come on top.
