Fighters Only provides the translation of an interview with the champion:
D24AM: What did you make of Chael Sonnen’s statement that Wanderlei Silva would be selling barbecue in Manaus if he weren’t in UFC?Jose Aldo Jr: Coming from Sonnen... he is a clown who speaks so much junk. Speaks things that he couldn’t and doesn’t know. If he says it in front of an amazonense (native from Amazonas) it can create a problem. Blood boils.
Wanderlei already answered. I already was with Sonnen. He speaks for self-promotion but this is going beyond the point. This is bad for his image and damages our image. There (in the U.S.) they think there are only Indians and alligators in the streets [of Amazonia] but it is changing. You can’t write what Sonnen says. Let him speak [expletive]...
Chael Sonnen knows how to get under people's skin, that is certain. Why not put Chael Sonnen on the card in Rio, and let him get acquainted with his numerous fans in Brazil? Well, that's doubtful, but locking him in a cage with Wanderlei Silva is just as good.

Sonnnen v Wanderlei in Brazil would be a nightmare to watch.
Sonnen would probably win at this stage in Wanderlei’s career and I don’t even want to watch him beat a fan favourite after what is sure to be months of trash talk in a stadium full of Brazillian fans undoubtedly rooting for their man.
I love Wanderlei but Chael will just hold down Wanderlei. Though Chael is a jackass, a much better one than Koscheck, we forget he may very well be the best pure wrestler P4P. Wanderlei has never liked wrestlers, ever. Just look at his fights with Arona, Tito, and even Chuck was able to take him down easily. Relatively easy UD for Sonnen, sadly.
"Dawson was NOT a hype job. Dude schooled Adamek, beat Tarver twice (neither competitive), beat Johnson twice (once close, once a wipeout) and even beat Harding when Harding was still good. That is not hype. Those are results. I love how people see a guy lose once and all of a sudden nothing they ever did means anything. You are dead wrong."

Chael was throwing a reasonable amount of G'n'P against Anderson as well
Until he seemed to tire in the championship rounds. Part of me thinks he put his arm out to be taken on purpose since he already knew he was going to fail the drug test and it’d look worse if he was the champ. In a strange way he might have down that because he’s a ‘company man.’
Chael is a jackass at times.
His comments are also racist. Such a “car salesman”.
