Chael Sonnen at the Allianz Parque
The American was present in one of the boxes of the stadium, dressed in the white and green shirt. Sonnen took pictures with some fans of the club, celebrating at the Palmeiras arena.
Sonnen, in fact, posed for a photo holding a club flag, which he has created a close relationship with over the years precisely to provoke his former rival Anderson Silva, a Corinthians fan.
Fight between Sonnen and Anderson Silva
This will be the third clash between the American and Spider, and also the last, since Anderson Silva will make his farewell from fights on Brazilian soil.
Sonnen and Anderson Silva faced each other twice in the UFC, and in both cases the Brazilian, one of the greatest MMA fighters in history, came out on top.
