It took UFC President White 75 minutes to convince Silva to fight Sonnen in Vegas instead of Rio de Janeiro. Silva wanted the bout to happen in Rio. Silva thought Sonnen was disrespectful with him, his family and the Brazilian fans and told "He deserves to taught a lesson here, I owe this to my people". Dana declined saying "If there is no way how to make the event in a stadium, it has to be in Las Vegas" and promised Silva a good share of the PPV buys.
