Wanderlei Silva was nowhere near New York City for Tuesday’s Bellator NYC press conference.
But from thousands of miles away, he and Chael Sonnen still managed to have the most interesting exchange of the event, which promoted the company’s June 24 pay-per-view card from Madison Square Garden.
Sonnen, as is usually the case, managed to garner the majority of the attention during the presser, and did his best to needle Silva, his opponent in the Bellator NYC main event, who was participating in the presser from Brazil via a live feed.
“We’re beaming him in via satellite,” Sonnen said.
