UFC: 10 Controversial Moments Between Chael Sonnen & Wanderlei Silva

There have been several unforgettable feuds within the past ten years for the UFC. It all started with Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock jawing at one another. Ortiz played up his bad boy persona into his personality to annoy Shamrock. That was followed up by his legendary feud with Chuck Liddell. He even went to the extent of angering Dana White to where they nearly fought in a boxing match. The feuds continued in the late 2000€™s with Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar genuinely hating one another. Then Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson was the next feud that ended up being the most polarizing feud in UFC history. No season of the Ultimate Fighter did better ratings than Season 10 featuring both fighters. While they did receive a boost from Internet sensation Kimbo Slice, the pay-per-view they fought on (UFC 114) drew over a one million buy-rate. Now we move into the early 2010€™s and Chael Sonnen has become a polarizing figure. He€™s repeatedly taken stern shots at Brazil and their most legendary fighters. At first, it was Anderson Silva and now it has become Wanderlei Silva. Both fighters have made remarks back and forth at one another for years. The feud finally escalated in 2013 to where they were finally booked to fight against another. Here are ten of the most controversial moments of the feud between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva.
