Even though UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen currently has his hands full with a Brazilian by the name of Anderson Silva, the 35-year old smack-talking savant hasn’t forgotten about two of his other favorite targets when it comes to throwing out insults at the South American nation. Sonnen was recently asked to comment on Silva’s heated remarks regarding their fight this Saturday night at UFC 148 and took the opportunity to call out Vitor Belfort, a past opponent of Silva’s.
Sonnen Says He’s Happy to Pick Fights
“Vitor Belfort pulls out of more fights than he agrees too; he’s fantastic,” cracked Sonnen in an interview with MMAFighting. “He’s such a chicken and he’s such a liar. To say you’re going to fight, to sell tickets, to sign your name, to film the TV show, and then to pull out? Against an invalid? That’s insane.”
The “invalid” in question Sonnen refers to is Wanderlei Silva who ultimately fought Rich Franklin at the event he was originally scheduled to scrap with Belfort at. However, Belfort broke his hand leading up to the fight and had to pull out.
