Chael Sonnen hints at next UFC opponent

Chael Sonnen recently took to Twitter and dropped the following hint as to his next opponent:

“It’s not “catch weight” it’s a “grudge weight.” I’ll fight him at a GRUDGE WEIGHT OF 200lbs. I don’t care about him enough to cut to 185.”

Many have speculated that this grudge match will be against Wanderlei Silva with whom the American Gangster has traded insults in the past. The move to 200 lbs would move Sonnen from the middleweight division into light heavyweight. Silva has recently been competing at middleweight, but has also fought in the light heavyweight division in the past and recently fought Rich Franklin at a catch-weight of 190 pounds.
