Chael Sonnen was victorious on Twitter after slaughtering his upcoming opponent, Wanderlei Silva, on Thursday.
“Wanderlei Silva is the only fighter with Cauliflower Face,” Sonnen said in a tweet.
Sonnen will fight Silva in the main event of Bellator: NYC on Saturday.
On Thursday, Bellator hosted a press conference for the event. After the press conference, all of the fighters got an opportunity to go face-to-face with their opponent. When Silva and Sonnen squared off, Silva shoved Sonnen and security was forced to intervene and separate the fighters.
Sonnen and Silva have been longtime rivals but have never fought in an MMA fight. Their rivalry dates back to their time in the UFC. The two coached opposite of each other on a Brazilian season of The Ultimate Fighter.
“Wanderlei-prepare to eat more right hands than Jeffrey Dahmer,” Sonnen said in another tweet.
Bellator: NYC will take place June 24 at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
