Wand: Doc says I can fight 20 more years

Wanderlei Silva fights Cung Le at UFC 139. Having lost three of his last four, The Axe Murderer knows he needs to win, or leave the UFC. An excited Silva seemed confident.

“I’m just back from the doctors, and he made all the checks, and the doctor told me I can fight 20 more years!” Silva told MMA Heat. “I’m really healthy you know, and I’m trying to pass Couture. Couture stopped at 48, I’m 35.”

“You know (Cung Le)’s a really good opponent. I’ve studied his game, and I think he has the best kicks in MMA. I started training the difference of the kickings. I think he’s a great opponent. I hope to give a great show for the fans in San Jose and I hope to make everyone happy there and around the world.”
