White to make Silva-Sonnen happen ASAP
"UFC president Dana White plans to arrange a rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen as soon as possible, after Sonnen issued the middleweight champion a stunning challenge at UFC 136."
White was later asked if he might use the Silva v Sonnen rivalry to fuel the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, but the president is far too keen to get the pair in the Octagon, as soon as Silva's shoulder has recovered from injury.
"Those guys really don't like each other," White said, according to USA Today. "Anderson, I don't know if any of you saw his face when [Chael] won, but he wasn't doing the whole joking around thing. He was pissed and he's really upset about the whole smacking his wife on the butt thing and cook him dinner. He's really upset about it. He's really pissed about it.
"I don't like to commit to anything the night of the fight. But yeah, I'd be pretty stupid if I don't make that fight. I want that fight to happen ASAP. They won't be coaching."
Looks like it's a done deal.
