UFC President Dana White, along with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and no. 1 185-pound contender Chael Sonnen, held a press conference today in Rio de Janeiro to announce their bout originally scheduled for May 27 in Brazil was being moved to UFC 148 on July 7 in Las Vegas.
Sonnen was in rare form once again, feigning falling asleep and snoring during Silva’s comments, bringing out a Groucho Marx-type mask he said he used as a disguise to get into the country and he even used the press conference as an opportunity to promote his new book.
