I'm sure most mixed martial arts (MMA) fans understand that with a rivalry as big as the one between Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was left with little choice but to afford them their own private press conference.
Now that the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared from their tumultuous staredown, the promotion can switch gears and focus on the co-main event for UFC 148, which goes down this Saturday night (July 7, 2012) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz, the final chapter.
Heck, they even gave a little love to middleweight strikers Cung Le vs. Patrick Cote in a battle of power vs. finesse. I think it's safe to say somebody's going to sleep in "Sin City."
