UFC middleweight champion and pound-4-pound kingpin Anderson Silva will be looking to defeat wrestling powerhouse Chael Sonnen for a second time inside of the octagon. Although he wasn't healthy the first time around Silva says Sonnen is bad for the sport and assures fans he is healthy for the rematch.

“Chael has good wrestling. The first fight, I broke my ribs, I fought with broken ribs. But that’s okay, I finished the fight and I win. But this time I am ready. I am training hard, this is a different fight. My opinion for Chael is that this guy does not respect nothing. This time in this sport is very important. The people watching the UFC, the people that watch Chael Sonnen talking, they are like ‘What? What is this sport? I don’t like this sport. This guy doesn’t respect nothing.’ I understand sometimes you need to promote the fight but, I don’t know. Chael talks about my people in Brazil, about my wife, about the older fighters. It’s his problem, it’s no good, it’s no good promotion, this is a sport. I love my sport. I love it and I respect the older people and the older fighters of the sport. This is a great time for the sport. But Chael maybe does not understand this, his problem is he talks too much. It is no good.”

Silva said via ESPN.com

The two top middleweights originally met at UFC 117 where Sonnen gave the champ his biggest challenge since joining the UFC in 2006, but in the end Anderson Silva pulled off an amazing comeback victory many consider one of the best comebacks in UFC history.

Now the two are expected to meet again in the near future although many speculate that the fight will take place in Brazil's June event it is still unknown when and where the fight will actually take place. For more on this subject and more stay connected with www.MMAMATRIX.com.
