Despite Chael Sonnen's claims, Dana White guarantees Sonnen will fight Anderson Silva
by Tim Groves on March 29, 2012

Chael Sonnen can claim that the contracts are not signed. Anderson Silva can continue to cry that Sonnen does not deserve a rematch.

But it will not matter.

UFC President Dana White recently made it clear that Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen II will go down in Brazil later this year, according to MMAWeekly.com.

"The fight is happening," White said. "He has accepted the fight, and he will be with me in Brazil for the press conference down there."

The guarantee from White comes after Sonnen cast some doubt on the legitimacy of the planned rematch between him and Silva. Once the UFC officially announced their plans to bring the highly anticipated rematch to Joao Havelange Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sonnen took to Twitter to debunk the report. On the popular social networking website, Sonnen posted the following:

"Not so fast... I will not be participating in anything until my 1 demand is met. My declaration will be made to and only."

The on-again, off-again middleweight title fight was thrown into an even bigger state of uncertainty when Sonnen's manager, Mike Roberts, confirmed that bout agreements had still not be signed for the historic event. 

White's recent comment's seem to put those worries to rest for the time being. With his personal assurance that the fight will go down June, fight fans should be able to sleep easier tonight.

A fight in a venue like an 80,000 seat arena deserves something HUGE, and this is it. Wandering_Minstrel: Still rooting for Sonnen! :D Boots: I feel good about it this time i hope Chael can win. IwishIwasMMA: Chael is my favourite troll. Haters are always going to hate. GO HARD: Are you guys ready for thee BIGGEST MMA FIGHT in the HISTORY OF MMA? Boots: Goooooooo Sonnen
