On a personal note - gutted, was planning a trip to Brazil around those dates in June
I wouldnt have thought it was for safety reasons........think its just about the money. Silva is the biggest product in the UFC at the moment and in the states will be able to charge top dollar. In Brazil this wouldnt be the case i feel, which is a shame as Dana seems to really imbed the product in South America.
Just out of curiosity what type of things have been said? I dont really watch anything but the fights in most programs!
I do think that the dominance shown by Sonnen in the first fight should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Remember Sonnen tested positive for enhanced testosterone levels.
Silva by an emphatic KO I predict
A shame its been moved, the atmosphere would have been unbelieveable. If Sonnen had won the rematch then it would have sparked a riot in the arena, such is the passion that was displayed for the Aldo fight at the last UFC in Brazil.
So more than likely moved for all round safety concerns, I doubt Dana would have fancied his chances once things started to kick off!
Thank god it's been moved, I love Chael and the thought of him dying via a poisonous blow dart was a real worry!
Yeah i can't take their first fight serious given Chael was juiced to the nines....he doesnt make it out of round 2 this time imo
