On Tuesday, Chael Sonnen posted several images of himself getting a tattoo on his arm of former foe and UFC icon Anderson Silva. The post immediately went viral with fight fans trying to figure out if the tattoo was legit.
“I’m a man of my word,” Sonnen wrote in the caption.
As it turns out, Sonnen’s tattoo was a tease for Anderson Silva’s biopic mini-series, which premiered Thursday on Paramount+. ‘The Spider’ released a video on Instagram revealing that the ex-rivals watched Silva’s series together. In the video, Silva and Sonnen make a deal that Sonnen will tattoo Silva’s face on his shoulder if he gets emotional while watching the series.
