According to Dave Meltzer, Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva had a confrontation today at the Mr. Olympia contest in Las Vegas. Sonnen was a guest of the event, doing an autograph signing. Silva then arrived accompanied by a camera crew, and he went face to face with Sonnen, which led to a pull apart.
I feel we are being setup hard. Like Chael reached out to Wandy and said "Look man, I tried to get Anderson to do this but he said he wouldn't play along. I know a way for us to get the first 2M Buy PPV, but we are going to have to really sell this! First, I'm going to casually make fun of Brazil again and this time you get upset! Then you start calling me out. Then I will start calling you out. But we don't want it to happen to fast so lets bring DW into this and make a 'contract' or 'money' issue prevent the fight. We'll have some beef in person with a ton of people around so everyone gets in on it!"
Wand is Chael'ing Chael and he's going to get paid for it just like Chael does. Kind of funny considering many MMA fans have been foaming at the mouth over a certain fighter for doing the same thing.
Dana has said that Wand is unwilling to take the fight unless he gets PPV points, which Dana doesn't want to give him, because with a build up of his magnitude would probably cost a million $ or so.
A. this is a good listen if your into Shields vs Maia Herman and Sonnen give good breakdowns of each fighter.
B. Sonnen dose his bit on wandy, now I might be reading a little too much into this but Sonnen has been attacked three times at this type of meet and greet that I can think of and the way he says that this could have gone real real bad makes me wonder if he was packing heat or what.
