UFC 148: Anderson Silva Says Chael Sonnen 'Doesn't Know How to Respect People'

About as shocking as the Nevada State Athletic Commission refusing to license UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva still doesn't find the humor in his arch rival Chael Sonnen's antics.

"When I started training martial arts I learned about respect," he said. "Sonnen doesn’t know martial arts. He’s a wrestler, he doesn’t know how to respect people. Some say he’s promoting the fight, but he disrespected my country, my family and fans."

At the UFC 147 fight presser in Rio de Janeiro Brazil Tuesday morning, Sonnen made plenty of his signature wise cracks.

However, he really seemed to get under "The Spider's" skin when he put on a pair of funny-face glasses that came equipped with fake eyebrows, a fake nose and a fake mustache.

Sonnen stated he wore the comedic get up order to sneak into Brazil and was mistaken for Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the process. 

For those who missed it, UFC President Dana White announced that the epic rematch between Sonnen and Silva has been moved to UFC 148 in Las Vegas.

Reports last week indicated the fight would likely be moved from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Las Vegas since Rio de Janeiro would be hosting a United Nations conference the same week as UFC 147, which is still scheduled for June 23, but will now face a venue change.
