UFC examining security for Chael vs. Silva in Rio

"We've already started worrying about that," White said about security when Chael Sonnen meets Anderson Silva for the second time at UFC Rio II. "We will have presidential-type security down there for him. The biggest fear would be should Chael win that night. We'd have to f------ dig a tunnel underneath the Octagon."

But White said he likes the idea of Silva fighting his most hated rival in front of his Brazilian fans. And he said the proper security procedures could ensure a safe environment for Sonnen and everyone else in attendance.


For his part, Sonnen has been asked about security in Brazil, and replied characteristically.

I'm def willing to go over there," said Sonnen. "I am sure there would be some security concerns, but those guys and their blow darts don't scare me."
UFC security experts are already combing through footage from UFC Rio I to identify potentially dangerous troublemakers.
