this fight has much more attention on it, which means a bigger pay day for both anderson and chael, and thusly, more attention on the sport.

so again, thank you, chael.

The author of this article, and Chael, think that it would be better if Anderson Silva would run his mouth and talk all kinds of stupid shit? Is that what great athletes do? Is that what you consider great sportsmanship? How about letting your actions speak for you and winning in the ring? Who want to hear all this drama about why Chael hates Anderson? Who is the better fighter in the ring? Everyone knows the answer, even Chael. Let me see if I get this straight.

Hey Chael, they are fighting because its f**king UFC!!! That's what the sport is!! It's fighting!!! We don't care to hear all your nonsense rants about how much you hate Anderson Silva. Stop all the freaking man-drama you freaking drama queen. Silva could destroy you with his eyes closed. He doesn't have any reason to fight you. You don't stand a chance. That's why he doesn't care to run his mouth. People want to know why they are fighting? Hey Chael, they are fighting because its f**king UFC!!! That’s what the sport is!! It’s fighting!!!
