In an interesting interview with MMAJunkie.com partner TAGG Radio, WEC middleweight Chael Sonnen said he wants to face WEC Middleweight Champ Paulo Filho when the time is right, but also wants a shot at UFC Middleweight Champ Anderson Silva.
From the interview:
“I sent an email to (UFC and WEC matchmaker) Joe Silva when I thought I was competing with Paulo, and I just said ‘Look, I’m going to beat up Paulo, and I’m going to call out Anderson,'” Sonnen said. “‘Am I going to look like a fool, or does that interest you?’ And he wrote me back pretty candidly, and said ‘You’re wasting your time. We’re not going to inter-mingle the two promotions right now. You’re not going to get to fight Anderson.'”
