Sonnen threatens to turn up the heat on Silva; ?Spider?s? manager says Chael is either crazy or stupid

Chael Sonnen is still waiting and he's beginning to lose his patience.

On Saturday, the middleweight title challenger sent out a cryptic tweet directed at UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva basically saying accept the fight or beware.

Silva's manager Ed Soares appeared with the folks on HDNet's "Inside MMA" and hasn't changed his stance on giving Sonnen a second shot.

"I think Chael's delusional," Soares said of Sonnen's claim that he's the real champ and that the loss at UFC 117 was less than legitimate. "At the end of the day, he tapped, he quit, he gave up. Take a number and get to the back of the line. You had your opportunity."

Soares said Silva had little reaction to Sonnen's challenge in the Octagon at UFC 136.

"He just thinks the guy's crazy. He's just thinks the guy is a lunatic. It doesn't really affect him too much," said Soares.

Silva did tell Soares that Sonnen's shots at his wife were disrespectful.

HDNet's Bas Rutten seemed to agree with Soares' back of the line comment (2:50 mark). Who's in this imaginary line and who does Sonnen need to beat to earn the next shot? It's hard to name anyone else in the division currently who deserves the shot more than Sonnen.
