More bullshit from Dana.
It doesn't have to be but it makes sense to put it in the home of the UFC and home of huge fights when the soccer stadium falls through.

There are plenty of adequate arenas around the world suitable for that fight. Vegas is a dying town, it's been on the decline for the past couple years.

You've lost your mind. Of course there are adequate arenas. Technically it could go on in just about any major city with an NBA or Hockey team. But the UFC likes to do huge cards in important places like Vegas, stadiums, Abu Dabi, Fenway, etc...

He spoke about the potential of the Pay-per-view sales it would generate and in the end, he guaranteed a good percentage of the pay-per-view share to Anderson. As with so many things in life, money talks louder than anything.

There is an unconfirmed report that Anderson Silva's ability to fight Chael Sonnen at UFC 148 in Las Vegas on July 7 is not certain, due to a persistent knee problem.
Michael Bisping has a cartiledge issue in his knee, but can and will fight if asked, and is currently standing by.
According to this scenario, a final decision will be made by next Wed when the Primetime show is scheduled to begin filming.

That would suck really bad if Silva was hit with the injury bug too.
Sonnen vs. Bisping II is alright but I don't want to see it until we get the rematch we all crave first.

see what "The Spider" had to say about what Sonnen can expect come July 7, 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a way you’ve never seen or heard before:
Quote :
"Chael is a criminal, he is a criminal. He has been convicted of crimes and he doesn't deserve to be inside the Octagon. When the time is right, I am going to break his face and every one of his teeth in his mouth. Playtime is over, the jokes are over. I am going to beat his ass out of the UFC. He is never going to want to fight again after I am done with him. It doesn't matter if I am on bottom, side or top. Chael is going to get his ass kicked like never before. What I do inside the Octagon is going to change the image of the sport. I am going to make sure his legs are broke and arms are broke he will not be able to walk out by himself. I know he is listening; no more shit talking, it is on now. I'm going to make him pay and make him eat everything he said about myself and my country. I'm going to make sure he does not disrespect any other fighter. I'm going to beat him like his parents should have beat him to have manners. He can say whatever he wants, but I am not playing anymore. It will be the same like the first fight. He walked out the loser and this time he is going to walk out the loser. The only difference is that this time he is going to have to visit a plastic surgeon after the fight."
Now those, as they say, are fighting words.
Ironically, Chael kept it short and to the point in his retaliation:
Quote :
"I got two words for him. He says he's gonna break my face in? I got two words for him. Medium rare."
