We're just a few days away from one of the biggest rematches in UFC history and as fight time draws near the time for talk will be over.

But, we're not there quite yet and Chael Sonnen has been talking all week. Yesterday he talked to MMA Junkie about a possible third fight with Anderson Silva if he walks away UFC Middleweight Champion Saturday night:

“I would fight that guy every day. I love easy fights. I've had the hard fights. I had to fight Stann. I had to fight Bisping. I had to fight (Yushin) Okami. I had to fight (Nate) Marquardt. I had the hard fights. I want some easy fights now. I will gladly fight him. But under what illusions are we that he would ever ask for a third match? He got destroyed the first time, did everything he could to get out of this fight (and) he's going to get destroyed again. This isn't going to be close. I already know how this is going to go: He gets stomped, and then, 'He wasn't ready' and 'My rib'
