Silva's fight with Sonnen was of an exhibition nature

Anderson Silva, former UFC middleweight champion, commented on the outcome of his boxing bout with Chael Sonnen.

"This fight was exhibition in nature, so knockouts were not allowed and there was no winner. I think we put on a good show in the exhibition match. I have a boxing fight planned in Dubai, it will already be professional. Now we are negotiating and I can't name the opponent yet," Silva said.

The fight between Silva and Sonnen was held on June 16 in Sao Paulo, lasted allotted 5 rounds and ended in a draw.
