Following Anderson Silva’s crafty win over Chael Sonnen at Saturday’s UFC 117 after being dominated for over four rounds, UFC President Dana White said he was undecided on who Anderson Silva’s next opponent would be. Silva would either get an immediate rematch against Sonnen or meet Vitor Belfort in his next fight.

“It’s definitely a rematch people will want to see,” White said. “Vitor is waiting to fight right now, too. We could do the rematch with Chael. We’ll see what happens.”

I read Sonnen tested positive for performance enhancers shortly after his fight with Silva. If that’s true, he doesn’t deserve a rematch. Victor would be an interesting fight.

Yeah he tested positive for performance enhancing drugs (steroids) on the post fight drug test. I actually started to like him till I found that out. He does not deserve a rematch not now not ever.

I believe they should allow a rematch. Allow Silva to smash him and regain his pride for his poor performance. That would also allow Vitor to have more time to recover from injury and be 100% Vitor. Then well see Silva vs Vitor. I also want to see Chael get punished when i know Silva will not make the same mistakes twice! Holla.

Chael Sonnen tested positive for high testosterone levels due to testosterone injections he get twice weekly for a disease called hypogonadism. NOT steroids.He dominated Anderson Silva and will do it again if they get a rematch.

Sonnen is affected by hormone deficiency and therefore needs to be be treated. He has NOT taken steroids to improve his ability in the ring. And he would probably beat Silva in a rematch.

Silva is the best fighter in the world. He fought with broken ribs and sonnen, testing positive for performance enhancing drugs, doesn’t deserve a rematch. But i still hope it happens. With the front kick to Vitors face, Silva will be motivated of a rematch and will dominate Sonnen. Silva is just to good.
