After a lot of controversy and provocation, Chael Sonnen scared the hell out of the Brazilians and punished the UFC champion Anderson Silva for 23 minutes, but proved that his stubbornness in not training Jiu-Jitsu got him one again, tapping out on a tight arm bar on the triangle two minutes before the end of the fight. Impressed with the American’s performance, Dana White will give him another shot against Anderson, but Josuel Distak, Anderson’s trainer is cool about it.

“Sonnen was 100% and showed what he’s got… Now it’s the time for him to see Anderson from the right angle. I want to see how it’ll be like this time”, said the trainer, reminding that Anderson had a rib injury, what might have affected his performance during the fight. With the rematch predicted to happen on 2011, the “Spider” will have plenty time to recover. “Anderson Silva is taking care of himself in order to be 100% recovered from this injury. I think he’s coming back to Brazil to train with the team and, for sure, now you’ll see Anderson at his best. It’s not just him, but Anderson also wants this rematch to happen”, concluded.
