1. Fight Cancellation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPF_tAaOLQ0 While compiling the most controversial moments from this feud about nine days ago, the physical confrontation on The Ultimate Fighter was set as the most controversial moment. The stare down at the UFC 175 press conference was entertaining, but that wasn't anything monumental. Then it was
reported last Wednesday that Silva dropped out of the fight and everyone threw their arms up in frustration. While Vitor Belfort poses a much more intriguing matchup to Chael Sonnen, if he gets licensed by the NSAC on June 17th. The years of buildup and trash talk made you want to see them fight once and for all. Silva doesn't have many fights left, so people were excited to see if he had one more highlight reel knockout left in him. Now the fight is off, due to Silva refusing to take a drug test. Silva pleaded his case in
another oddly produced video, which explains his situation in some context. Still this situation is far from being clear and it makes you lose hope that Silva can ever be trusted again. He's had multiple chances to fight Sonnen on pay-per-view and wasn't able to fulfill those opportunities. Let's not forget that his last fight was against Brian Stann in March of 2013. It's not like he's been fighting on this rigorous schedule like Donald Cerrone or Robbie Lawler has in the past year. Then to put an exclamation point to the most controversial moment of this feud, Sonnen stated that
he knew Silva was never going to fight him. That seems like a proper conclusive end to this eccentric feud.
