Chael Sonnen Says Wanderlei Silva Was Not Dedicated While Coaching On TUF Brazil

Chael Sonnen is set to fight Wanderlei Silva in Sao Paulo on May 31. If you have been watching the Ultimate Fighter Brazil on UFC Fight Pass then you know that they are not friends at all. Chael Sonnen thinks that Wanderlei Silva is not taking this fight seriously and is questioning Silva's dedication while coaching on the Ultimate Fighter. Check out some highlights that MR. Sonnen had to say about Silva:

"It's one of those things where, something stinks here," Sonnen said Tuesday after a sparring session at the Reign MMA gym. "He's talking more than ever. He's saying things like ‘Chael better not get hurt' and ‘Chael better not fall out.' I've never pulled out, ever. If I'm hurt or I'm sick, I just show up. Never do I complain or I pull out. What that's telling me, he's going to claim he's hurt. He's just doing all these things to tip his hand here, and something stinks and I don't know what it is, but something's going on."

Sonnen on his work ethic compared to Silva's on the set of TUF 3: "I was with him on the set of The Ultimate Fighter, and I watched him every day not practice," Sonnen said. "It seemed like he watched me every day twice a day practice. I'd see him in the hallway and he'd see me covered in five or six pounds of sweat and he'd be walking in with fruit, he was always eating pears. He'd be walking around with a pear in his hand as dry as can be and I thought 'you don't look like a guy who's getting ready to fight,' not a five round fight, particularly not when you've been out of the ring for a year. This just doesn't make sense."
