TORONTO – UFC president Dana White is 100 percent positive that middleweight champion Anderson Silva (31-4 MMA, 14-0 UFC) is not faking an injury to avoid a rematch with Chael Sonnen (27-11-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC).
The reason? It's simply impossible to do.
"First of all, just to clear this up, and these guys – Dan Henderson knows it, Chael knows it, and every other fighter that fights in the UFC knows it – you can't fake an injury," White today told MMAjunkie.com ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) following a UFC 140 pre-event press conference in Toronto. "It's impossible to do. You can't do it.
"When you say you are injured, we bring you to our doctors, and they check you out, and we find out if you're injured or not injured."

if the injury in attained too close to fight time some fighters chose to go in at less than 100%. I'm sure he didn't think sonnen was a threat to his title at the time.
