Wanderlei Silva says Chael Sonnen’s name is now “on the list” and he would like to fight him after getting a match with Chris Leben.
Sonnen was seen getting a telling off from Wanderlei in a video released last week. The Brazilian middleweight and former PRIDE FC champion was unhappy with comments Sonnen had made abot Brazil and the Nogueira brothers in interviews.
“I sat in the car and I was looking at him, I saw him and I remembered he had been talking some things…” Wanderlei recalled in an appearance on TapouT Radio last night.
Asked if the in-car harangue had been before or after Sonnen had publicly referred to Wanderlei as “someone who used to be a fighter,” Wanderlei said No, he said this after I talked to him in the car. This is the kind of man that… I don’t know, he had a lot of opportunity to say that in the car, but he didn’t say anything. I don’t know what happened.
“We’re gonna look at whats gonna happens next, he stays on the list right now. We’re going to have to finish it in the octagon. I want to make my next fight with Leben and then maybe after Leben I fight with him, no problem. I’ll wait for him too.”
Sonnen was hit with a one-year suspension by the California State Athletic Commission last week for providing a positive sample in his UFC 117 drug test. He has the opportunity have an appeal hearing held on December 2nd but CSAC says he thus far has not applied for one.
