The war of words between UFC light heavyweights Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva has been in full swing since Sonnen’s victory over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at the inaugural UFC on FOX Sports 1 event in Boston earlier this month. Moments after defeating Shogun – a former training partner of Silva’s – Sonnen took to the post-fight microphone and had a few words for “The Axe Murderer.” “Wanderlei Silva, 6-feet tall, 205 pounds; boy, until I met you, I didn’t know they could stack crap that high,” he yelled into the microphone. “Wanderlei Silva, three months, you and the bad guy.” Sonnen then strolled out of the cage and the MMA world was set a blaze with another fiery promo from the “Gangster from West Linn.” Silva, who apparently wanted the fight as well, was game for the showdown and made it very clear that he wanted the fight.

Sometimes they make the announcement too soon, then start second-guessing themselves in the months and years to come. I could be wrong, but after talking to him about his decision and the reasons for it, I really don’t think Stann will be one of those guys. As anyone who’s had a conversation with him knows, he’s about as intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful a person as you could ever hope to find in this business. He’s honest and honorable without being naive
