CHICAGO – Regardless of what Chael Sonnen (26-11-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC) says, should he defeat Michael Bisping (22-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at Saturday's UFC on FOX 2 event, Anderson Silva (31-4 MMA, 14-0 UFC) is next.

UFC president Dana White clarified the organization's plans at today's UFC on FOX 2 pre-event presser in Chicago.

"Chael is nuts," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He says all kinds of crazy things. 'He's the champion.' Listen to me. OK? Listen to me. He's not the champion.

"He will fight Anderson Silva if he wins. He will not fight for the heavyweight championship or Jon 'Bones' Jones. I have to have a separate press conference to stop all the stuff that Chael Sonnen says."

Bisping and Sonnen meet in the co-feature of Saturday's fight card, which takes place at United Center in Chicago. The main card airs on FOX.

Sonnen, of course, has stated he doesn't believe Silva will ever fight him again following the pair's memorable UFC 117 matchup, in which the challenger dominated for four-and-a-half rounds before relenting to the champ. Since that fight, Sonnen has alternated between campaigning for a rematch and dismissing the need for one.

As he prepares to take on British slugger Bisping, Sonnen is apparently in one if his dismissive stages.

Sonnen brought a replica UFC belt to the dais, much to the surprise of White, and claimed it was Silva's title, which he stole "like a gangster in the night."

"This is the world championship title, which I took from Anderson Silva," Sonnen said."In this country, possession is nine-tenths of the law. Finders keepers, losers weepers, and if he wants it back, he knows where to find me."

Following his win over Sonnen, Silva has gone on to register impressive stoppage wins over Yushin Okami and Vitor Belfort. He's currently nursing a few lingering injuries and is expected to fight again in June, when the UFC travels to Sao Paulo.

Silva has remained mostly silent on Sonnen, preferring to let the victory speak for itself and not willing to lend any more spotlight to the trasktalking extraordinaire that is his current nemesis.

Sonnen claims his silence simply proves his irrelevance.

"As far as I'm concerned, he is as relevant as Mike Tyson, and the only thing he hasn't done is announce his retirement," Sonnen said. "He should paint his face, gain 100 pounds, sit in the third row and hope that somebody remembers who they are because neither of those guys matter anymore."

Of course, there is currently one man who can prevent Silva vs. Sonnen II, and that is Bisping. "The Count" appeared confident throughout the presser, as well as in a nose-to-nose staredown that followed.

"He can keep his fake belt and shove it up his ass," Bisping said. "He ain't fighting Anderson Silva."
