Chael Sonnen: (Anderson) Tried to Get Disqualified at Press Conference (UFC 148 Video)

Chael Sonnen is in the midst of a firestorm of controversy surrounding his UFC 148 showdown with Anderson Silva, much of it of his own creation.

Sonnen met with the media one final time at Thursday’s UFC 148 open workouts answering questions about everything from the fight with Silva to his remarks about Brazil and its fans, as well as his testosterone replacement therapy.

Sonnen even went so far as to say that he felt Silva, in going nose to nose with Sonnen in the faceoff at Tuesday’s press conference, was trying to get himself disqualified so that he wouldn’t have to fight on Saturday night.
