For the first time since their rivalry came to be in 2014, Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva were slated to meet other at a press conference last Thursday in Los Angeles. It was in preparation for their long-overdue grudge match scheduled for Bellator’s New York City pay-per-view event on June 24th.

“The Axe Murderer”, however, decided to skip the said media event, stating he was not feeling well. But during Tuesday’s pre-fight conference call, Silva revealed his real reason, which was not at all surprising given his history with “The American Gangster.”

“The truth is I no go to the press conference, because I don’t want to do what Cyborg do to that girl that talked sh-t about her,”…


Silva explains why he no-showed Bellator presser

Just look at that shiny watch on the arm of that monster in the background in this picture of Wand!

Also, I want to see the inside of that cake. Lastly, Wanderlei ought to be at the press conference promoting the shit out of this fight with Chael, the silly fucker! God forbid a little excitement were to transpire and they might actually get Bellator some mainstream media. I think Chael must be disgusted in Wand's no show antics, and I'm sure Coker is less than impressed as well.

Nah, it was the right move. We don't need to see Wand hit Chael at a press conference to know they hate each other. He'd be risking suspension that way.

Truth to that, but his job is to act like a professional, don't start swinging and throwing shit around like a child who can't keep up with the verbal warfare, rather be there to promote the fight and get the people fired up. yes, you and I don't need the press conference to show us that they hate each other, but if Bellator is to grow outside of the you and I's then they need their big name fighters to be present when the marketing opportunities are available. Chael gets it, and this is why he is gets ppv points wherever he fights, because he does his part to promote the shit out of his fights, and he does it so effectively. I hate to say it, but Wand's just not that smart, lol!

Wandy has been at the wrong end of sufficient head trauma that he's not going to win any verbal sparring matches with a former politician, especially if it goes down in English.

He should stick to yelling in Portuguese and throwing stuff.

I hate to admit it but listening to Wand talk is as cringe worthy as it gets.

Professional fighter, meaning, you only fight for money in the ring/cage. It does not give you a carte blanche for any other physical altercation. Ask Warmachine. As professional fighter, like many before him, and many after, they will have to surpress the need to assault someone for in the ring/cage and promote accordingly, which may include trash talk. If you have a hard time with that, you are not a professional fighter, you are just a fighter. I hope it's an act.

Chael would've schooled him (verbally) in the press conference and will do so in the cage. Wandy probably done the right thing.

What a immature tool Wanderlei has become. The signed fight is less than 2 weeks and he can't control himself? Comparing to some random confrontation at UFC retreat.

I hope Wand and Chael are both pumped with roids or this fight could suck, both out of shape and gasses out in rnd1

I don't think even roids will help wandy there these days. He needs to channel his inner Jason Statham from crank and get something more potent, if it exists.

If he doesn't ko sonnen within 4 minutes he's gonna be cooked

Wand is a throwback. He doesn't buy into the trash talking for sales. If you trash talk him he is going to go after you. Words impart meaning to Wand not PPV sales. If you say it too him he will come after you.

So staying away from the presser was probably wise for him.

I really liked wand a lot more when he didn't talk in pride. Now when he talks he just seems like a simple minded, childish bully. At this point he has almost become a parody of himself.

I miss the old scary mute wand.

Lets get real here guys.

The last time Wanderlei talked shit to Chael to his face he got put on his back and beaten until it took 10 of Wands teammates to pull Chael off.

Wand was smart to stay away.
