Despite unconditional defeat in a title duel against John Jones, Cheal Sonnen decided to continue career in a light heavyweight framework. It being средневес declared on Tuesday, in the next release of the UFC Tonight program on FUEL TV.

"I am going to continue in 205 pounds, as a last resort – in intermediate weight", - Sonnen declared. "We have guys who practise performances in the intermediate. For example, Rich Franklin. Soon I am shone hardly by a title duel, as well as to Franklin so we could meet somewhere in the middle. I mentioned Rich, but it doesn't mean that I throw down to him a challenge. I simply reflect on opportunity to fight in intermediate weight"

Sonnen as explained that his decision to remain in a light heavyweight was affected by shortage of the corresponding opponents in 185 pounds, and opportunity not to exhaust itself with weight loss in 205.

"Let I will be better to concede in the sizes, but I will have a smile upon the face", - it continued.

Besides, Sonnen declared that doesn't exclude probability of that will sometime return to the average weight if it has prospects to receive the fight making sense. For example, if Chris Vaydmen selects a title at Anderson Silva on UFC 162. But meanwhile Sonnen's plans entirely lie within a light heavyweight. As for his following probable opponent, Vanderley Silva with whom Sonnen on time entered verbal sparrings in the past could become him.

"We called more than once each other in the past, but before this fight didn't make sense", - Sonnen told. "I was an applicant, and he was a guy without prospects. Now in this duel much more sense"

"I am not going to leave sports. When me asked about resignation, I never it spoke, but always thought that I won't leave until once and for all I won't sort out the relation with Vanderley"
