Chael Sonnen on Bellator stint: ‘I came here to chase Wanderlei’ Silva

After all this time, Chael Sonnen sounds like he still wants a piece of Wanderlei Silva ... whether it’s in a cage under commission rules or out on a street corner.

“The next time I see Wanderlei Silva, I’m going to be fighting Wanderlei Silva,” Sonnen said at a Bellator 170 teleconference. “And he is going to tell you the same thing. And the goal is, it will be inside of a ring on an appropriate time. But the next time I see him, I’m going to be fighting him.”

Before they get there, of course, Sonnen will make his much heralded Bellator debut against Tito Ortiz in the main event of Bellator 170 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
