Anderson Silva Still Upset With Ed Soares, No Date For Sonnen Fight

Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images

Anderson Silva was at a NASCAR event this weekend and SB Nation NASCAR editor Jeff Gluck was able to get a few interesting comments from the UFC middleweight champion. Silva said that there is still no date for a rematch with Chael Sonnen but that he was leaving it up to the UFC and Dana White to figure that all out.

Perhaps most interesting though is that Silva is still saying, in no uncertain terms, that he is very upset with manager Ed Soares for a recent picture with Sonnen where the two appeared to be joking around.

From MMA Nation:

"It's a problem," Silva told MMA Nation on Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway, where he was an honorary official for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. "It's a big problem. I don't like the picture, I don't like the position my manager (was in). Big problem. I don't like it."

Soares has attempted to smooth over the details surrounding that picture, but the fact that this has been going on for several weeks now does not bode well for the future of the fighter/manager relationship.

Hahaha. Too true.

Honestly she’s hot in all her videos, but she comes across as very plastic and fake. I guess her personality would probably sway me either way.

Outside of a some pretty good vocal delivery, she’s not a very good rapper though.

Yes

Chael walked by and Ed didn’t say anything to him, so Chael stopped and asked, "What, you don’t say “Hi” to me anymore?" Ed recognized/noticed him, pointed and said, “How can I talk to you with all the shit you say” and the pic was taken at that exact moment. They thought it looked funny, so they posted it.

That’s Ed’s story.

Whatever, Chael's still a xenophobic dick.

Or at least pretends to be. And I’d say, while not quite as bad, it’s still rather dickish.

I regret that post and hope it's not construed as fighter bashing.

Even though it…probably very clearly is.

I meant to say he’s still “acting” like a xenophobic “penis”.

Maybe we can get some clarification from the moderators. I can’t imagine anything that is said about Chael can be construed as fighter bashing. Unless it’s something like those prostitutes that he killed years ago.

Calling him a xenophobic dick is nothing compared to the stuff that was said about him during the early days of his TRT dealio. I doubt anyone got banned over that.

You mean the time when it was discovered that Chael was collecting scalps of prostitutes of all nationalities? Or was it the time when he orchestrated the economy crash of 2008?

It can’t be that serious anymore, especially with this caveat added in that piece:

It’s worth noting, however, that Silva said this with Soares standing right next to him. When it was pointed out that Soares was there, Silva offered a hint of a smile but stuck to his original statement.

“It’s a problem,” he said. “Bad position.”

… and the fact that Soares appears to still be managing him as he’s quoted as well in the piece.

This Is Very Petty

On Anderson’s part. The UFC is a business. Chael Sonnen is a businessman who by the end of his career will probably have increased his net worth by close to 7 figures. He will have also clearly increased Anderson Silva’s net worth by well over 7 figures. Ed Soares job as Anderson’s manager is to make him the most money as possible. If Anderson can not see that Chael Sonnen has been and will be one of the greatest things to ever happen to Anderson Silva. Batman would not be half of the character without the Joker. As Anderson has time and again refused to engage the fans in any manner at all not to mention refused to engage his opponent in the octagon time and again. He needed someone to step up and carry his amazing skill set with some sort of character interest for the fans. The simple question that needs to be posed to Anderson is would you rather make millions of extra dollars, or hold a personal grudge against a man who is so clearly playing a character that a child could see it. My final thought on the situation is that it is very unprofessional for Anderson to take to public forum to air his dirty laundry with his own manager. It makes Anderson look very childish not to mention the entire blackhouse team. Grow up Anderson, this is a business where everyone around you is working hard to get you into the biggest money fights possible even as you continually resist.

I thought they looked like they were arguing.

Or at least Ed was, and Chael was like ‘watch out for this guy’.

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that Chael and Soares are friendly with one another. Either Anderson is trying to be a showman and add further intrigue to the inevitable rematch or showing once more that he is one of the most immature and thin skinned people in all of MMA. I lean towards the latter.
