Even though their rivalry started under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner years ago, Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen have picked up right where they left off. The two legends will be meeting in the cage under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden later on this year at “Bellator NYC” on June 24, 2017 to finally settle the score.
Silva has strapped on the gloves for official competition since his bout with Brian Stann in 2013 in Saitama, Japan where he won by way of knockout in the second round. The fight would prove that Silva still had the fighting spirit he showed during his PRIDE days, and fans are hoping “The Axe Murderer” of old arrives in Bellator as well. Check out this photo of an aging Silva below and let us know if you think he will return to form:
