"First the guy gets in trouble for fraud, then he tests positive for steroids, and now he wants to kick in someone's door and slap their wife in the ass? This guy should be in jail; he shouldn't be fighting," the Anderson Silva rep jokingly said.
(Silva's Manager) Ed Soares said Silva doesn't hate Sonnen, but "he definitely doesn't respect him for the things that he's saying. Hyping up the fight is one thing, but I think you cross the line when you start talking about people's family."
"Chael is not the person that's going to determine when [Silva] is going to take the fight," Soares said. "When he's going to take this fight is when his shoulder is completely healed up, and he's ready to start his training camp for the fight.
"It's not because Chael says he wants to fight in February. Who is Chael to determine that? Chael needs to take a number and wait his turn. He got his opportunity, and he tapped. It's not the first time he's tapped, and I guarantee you it won't be the last."
As to when Silva might be ready to fight, Soares is not sure.
"It's still sore, and he's doing therapy," he said. "We're just waiting to see how it's healing up."
"Would it be a big fight? It would be a huge fight, but right know, it's not so much who he's going to fight and when," Soares said of a potential rematch. "It's making sure Anderson gets back to 100 percent before he gets in there."
