The Fourth of July has already passed but fireworks were still on display yesterday when UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva squared off against challenger Chael Sonnen after the two had stepped on the scale and hit their weight-related marks for UFC 148. The two rivals are set to headline the event and have exchanged a number of heated remarks leading up to tonight’s card.
After going chest-to-chest again, as Silva did with Sonnen at a recent press conference, the typically cool, calm, and collected Brazilian broke form and delivered a stiff shoulder-shot to Sonnen’s neck/chin. The two were immediately separated with Silva being pulled back to the center of the stage while Sonnen addressed the crowd.
No word has surfaced on whether or not Silva will be fined by the Nevada Athletic Commission for his physical approach to facing off with Sonnen.
