Dana White: Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter ever in MMA history – UFC News
President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White has always been a fan of Anderson Silva. Earlier today, White spoke about Silva’s upcoming bout against Chael Sonnen at UFC 148 on July 7 in Las Vegas.
According to White, Silva has been the best MMA fighter of all time yet he is not sure whether Silva will be able to beat Sonnen in the rematch or not. He added, “Well, I don’t ever give predictions but a lot of people don’t like Chael or like Chael, whatever
the case may be. I do believe that Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter ever in MMA history, and not just UFC, I think he’s the greatest ever. He’s broke every record in UFC history, and Chael Sonnen is the only guy to almost ever beat him. I think it’s
going to be a fun fight. It’s either going to be an absolute war, Anderson is going to go out and destroy him quickly, or who knows. It’s definitely interesting.”
White then praised Chael Sonnen, saying that he is ‘nutty as h**l’. According to White, Sonnen has all the capabilities to beat Anderson and the best part is that Sonnen is not afraid of Silva like most other fighters. White concluded saying that Sonnen’s
fearless attitude towards Silva makes this rematch so much more interesting than normal matches.
It should be noted here that according to several Brazilian media outlets, Anderson Silva is suffering through a knee injury. However, Dana White has clarified that Silva is all good and there is no knee injury to him. Even Silva interacted with his fans
through his Twitter account saying that he is good and ready to face Sonnen in the ring.
The rematch between Sonnen and Silva is one of the most anticipated bout of MMA history, as both the fighters are fearless warriors who will battle to their last breath. If Sonnen wins this time, he will be the next big thing of UFC. However, if he loses,
all his claims of superiority over Silva would be washed away. In other words, this is Sonnen’s last chance to cement his legacy in the sport’s history.
