UFC President Dana White gives his thoughts on the UFC 117 main event between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen for the 185lb championship in August when the company holds their first event in Oakland, CA:
"When we offered Chael Sonnen this shot at the title, he promised us one thing: that he was going to make this a fight. I know he means it, and after beating three legit contenders in Nate Marquardt, Yushin Okami, and Dan Miller, he's definitely going to bring the best out of Anderson Silva on August 7th. And as far as Anderson is concerned, he wants to remind everybody why he’s considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world."
