I hope this will air in the US

[Impact!]

If it's not Brazil Vs USA Chaels gonna have an entire team who hates. Possibly a similar scenario from the beginning of Penn Vs Pulver (Who doesn't want to be on Pulvers team...hands up).

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah this was discussed on other broads and Brazillians seem to think it won't be a problem. I also don't see how the language barrier will work but Dana White makes a lot more no ey than me to worry about that ish

Wandy wants USA vs Brasil


I def agree

[Innovator]

I want to see Wandy train guys.

"Train like Chute Boxe. Head down, close eyes, windmill punches."

[Kris P Lettus]

I guess I should post the backstory for posterity

It started with the Sonnen/Silva fued and Chael talking shit about Brazil, the Nog bros, and Wandy, which has all been well documented.


There was a confrontation in a 15 pass van where Chael obv didn't know what Wandy was saying so he just kept saying "sure" and "yeah". Wandy supporters walk around acting like this meant something.

In his (team) quest to destroy all Brazilian 185'ers, Sonnen called out Wandy in his post Shogun fight victory promo

<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xs68YQN9hq0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


This was after Wandy, who by this point is pretty irrelevant, went around calling out Chael and tweeting about him. Silva only decent win in years was against Brian Stann.


Wanderlei decided to take the fued even more viral and released this GEM

Got to love the Dragonforce music, the sponsorship, and the fact that he calls Sonnen a "buttface".


Sonnen, having ample national airtime with the Fox gig, used his platform to retort.


Around 8 minutes in the Wanderlei talks begin


<iframe width="853" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4FZ-n6gfFpY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Then at this years Mr Olympia Expo, Wanderlei, in OLDSCHOOL WWF style, "confronts" Sonnen.


<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dVilVut6IvU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


lol


Lucky he had all those dudes with him to hold him back


:nono:


Silva then released this video describing the incident


<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0xbX-qCkXg8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Wandy is so unintentionally hilarious


Sonnen then used his Fox platform to again, "call out" Silva


<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uBJHe-d9icw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


That leads us to now, where this Ultimate Fighter season being announced


I might have missed something but I think I did an OK job summing this up off the top of my head

Several days ago, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White revealed that The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "Brazil 3" coaches, Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen, were involved in an "huge fight" during taping of the show.

The ugly international incident resulted in "The American Gangster" get sucker punched by one of "The Axe Murderer" goons. Most of the mixed martial arts (MMA) community wasn't too surprised by the news that the bitter rivalry erupted in fisticuffs outside of the Octagon given their volatile history and together.

Speaking to the media during the recent UFC 169 scrum, White talked further about the melee, saying he wasn't too shocked his two stars came to blows.

His words:

"I wasn't shocked. That thing has been a time bomb since they got there. It's without a doubt the worst thing that's ever happened on The Ultimate Fighter in 20 seasons."
When asked if he would use the incident as a promotional tool -- TUF: "Brazil 3" will soon stream online via "Fight Pass" digital network -- White said the rivalry between the two speaks for itself and that no promotion is needed to sell it.

"That fight we can do no commercials, no newspaper, no radio, no nothing and that would, people want to see that fight. No, I don't like guys fighting outside of the Octagon. It's never happened. If you look at all the guys that we've had in there and who have gotten in each others faces and who have done what they've done, it's never come to a real fight. And I told them, 'hey, you idiots want to fight for free? Okay, I'd love to not pay you. It's going to be a big fight, I'll not pay you.' It's crazy. That's how bad they dislike each other."
White also went on to share that punishment was handed down to both parties, but didn't divulge exact details. In addition, while White said they don't have to show any of the actual "crazy" footage, it will come down to what they decide to do once it hits the editing room.

Sure, he may be somewhat correct in saying that the rivalry could sell the fight itself, but making the footage public won't hurt the cause, either.

Especially when the promotion plans to sell / promote its annual Fourth of July weekend event, most likely branded UFC 175 on July 5, 2014, which is when White expects Silva and Sonnen to lock horns ... for real.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/4/14/5611432/andre-dida-says-he-punched-chael-sonnen-to-stop-brawl-with-wanderlei

This week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 aired the infamous brawl between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva, but it was Andre Dida’s actions that shocked the fight fans.

It all started before the official weigh-ins for a heavyweight bout, and Silva threatened to beat his rival. Sonnen asked him when they would finally fight, and Silva replied him "now". Sonnen pushed him back and Silva tried to punch him, but the American ducked and took him down. The other assistant coaches quickly showed up to separate the fighters, except for Dida, who landed several punches to the back of Sonnen’s head.

Dida regrets his actions -- but not that much.

"I’m a trainer and I have my own gym, and I tell people to never do something like this," Dida told MMAFighting.com. "My intention was to separate them, but I had to do something. I acted by pure instinct. Sonnen has a bad reputation in Brazil, he talks trash about everybody, so it’s complicated to regret (what I did). I couldn’t let Wanderlei Silva in a situation like that."

Dida, a former K-1 fighter with a 6-4-1 record in MMA, was Silva’s assistant muay thai coach during TUF: Brazil 3, but never expected that something like that would happen on the show.

"I know Wanderlei Silva for a long time," he said. "I know how he thinks. I never imagined that they would fight (during the reality show) when they invited me to coach, but I knew that something would happen. At the beginning of the reality show, Wanderlei Silva argued with Sonnen and pushed him back, but I never thought something worse than that would happen."

"The coaches were behind the door when they both started to argue at the weigh-ins," he continued. "I know Wanderlei Silva and I saw that he was getting ready to fight, so we all run in their direction. My intention was to get Wanderlei out of there, but everything happened so fast. When I got closer to them, Sonnen took him down.

"My intention was to separate them, but I saw that Sonnen was trying to punch him, so in my mind I realized I needed to get Sonnen out of there as fast as possible to make him stop punching Wanderlei. I would never let Wanderlei Silva in a bad situation in front of me. I punched Sonnen to make him stop, but he didn’t. (The other coaches) tried to get me out of there, but I came back and punched him again. I just wanted to get Sonnen out of there."

Criticized for his actions, Dida says he just wanted to defend his teammate.

"Many people called me a coward, but that’s not true. I would be a coward if I did nothing," he said. "I was watching someone that I admire since I was 13 in a bad situation, so I had to do something. My body told me to punch him to make them stop fighting.

"I was hoping that Sonnen would stand up and fight me. I wanted to get him off Wanderlei, and now people call me a coward. Imagine that you’re in a situation like that. You’re in a supermarket and when you get back, someone in on top of your mother, your brother, your sister. Your instinct tells you to stop him as fast as possible. I did the same thing with Wanderlei Silva as soon as I saw that (Sonnen) was trying to hurt him."

Dida is still allowed to coach his fighters in the UFC. He was at Godofredo Pepey’s corner in his first-round KO victory over Noad Lahat at the UFC Fight Night card in Natal, Brazil, in March, but needs to control his behavior from now on.

"I had to sign a deal agreeing that I would never get involved in something like that in the UFC anymore, or I’ll get banned from the corner," he said. "What happened in the show, died in there. If something worse happened to Sonnen, maybe they would make another decision about it."

from mmajunkie

UFC President Dana White bristles at the idea that a brawl between Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3″ was staged.

It was certainly real enough to force the postponement of the opposing coaches’ end-of-season fight, the executive told MMAjunkie.

“What happened was Wanderlei got hurt in that fight,” White said following Wednesday’s TUF Nations Finale. “He got double legged on the concrete and he hurt his back. He hurt his hand punching Chael in the head and he got injured.

“He couldn’t fight on time because he got hurt in the fight f—ing coaching a show. I’m done being angry now. I was angry when it happened. It’s just disgusting.”

Many suspected the whole incident might have been fake, given Sonnen’s reputation as a pro-wrestling style promoter who frequently bends the truth to hype fights. But that initial thought gave way to a tentative endorsement of the brawl’s authenticity.

Whether or not it was staged, the fact is that Sonnen (28-14-1 MMA, 7-6 UFC) and Silva (35-12-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC) were scheduled to headline the TUF Brazil 3 Finale on May 24 in Sao Paulo. Then, earlier this month, the UFC announced that the bout was being shifted to UFC 175, which takes place July 5 at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center.

“There’s a bunch of idiots in the media saying, ‘That thing looks contrived,’” White said. “It was far from contrived. That thing was a disgusting display of what shouldn’t happen, and if I was there it would have never happened.

“The fact that there were other people, even people holding camera in that f–king place and let that happen is just beyond belief. Then the kid who runs in and sucker-punched Chael from behind, it’s just as bad as it can get.”

In recent weeks, Sonnen has hinted that Silva might back out of the bout due to an injury, but White said the new date will hold.

The UFC executive first spoke of the brawl during a media day with reporters in Los Angeles, noting it took place midway through filming. At the time, he seemed more dismayed than outright angry at the incident. But he popped off when asked about his thoughts on what happened now that the show is public.

Silva and Sonnen eventually collected themselves after fighting on set, though Silva threatened at one point to quit the show. Cooler heads prevailed, and filming wrapped earlier this year.

The pair’s rivalry stems from the latter’s pair of fights with now-former middleweight champ Anderson Silva. Silva became enraged at Sonnen’s promotional hyperbole and confronted him in a now-infamous video posted by the former PRIDE champ. Sonnen was none too pleased to see the interaction made public, which prompted him to take aim at Silva during interviews.

After several months of buildup and a near run-in at an MMA expo, things finally came to a boil on the reality show set, despite Silva saying he wouldn’t fight in the street with Sonnen because he was a professional.

Now, “The Axe Murderer” needs to make sure he’s physically ready to fight for the real contest.

Well Vitor/Chael is a bit more interesting I guess. Fight wise. Storyline wise though I was looking forward to Wandy doing something crazy in there.
