Anderson Silva says Chael Sonnen has zero respect for anyone

UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva has been giving his thoughts on past title contender and trash-talker extraordinaire, Chael Sonnen, saying the Team Quest front man has zero respect for anyone in the game.
Speaking via MMAFighting.com, Silva explained:
“Chael disrespected me, disrespected all of the fans in MMA, Chael disrespected my people in Brazil. Chael no respect nothing. I don’t know what happened with Chael, but he’s a good fighter. Maybe I don’t look at Chael as a bad guy, but sometimes Chael has a problem with the fight. He has no control. I don’t know. This is Chael’s problem.”
“I fought Chael for five rounds. Chael no win. I don’t go more to fight for Chael. I don’t care that Sonnen [wants] another chance for the belt, that’s just my opinion.
On a potential rematch with the former WEC middleweight contender, Silva said:
I don’t know. This is Dana’s decision. This is not my decision. I’m back [fighting] for my academy, I’m back for my friend, I fight for all the guys. [Whoever Dana puts in front of me], I’m going to fight.”
The two men went at it for five rounds back at UFC 117 in August of last year, Sonnen clearly winning the first four before Silva pulled a rabbit out of the hat with a last gasp triangle choke which forced the challenger to tap. Was the canny Brazilian playing possum many fans have been forced to ask themselves?
