There is no doubt that Brazilian fighters are a proud people, and when rivalries rise up sometimes there’s not much anybody can do to put out the fire. One rivalry that came and went recently was between former training partners Wanderlei Silva and UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with MMAWeekly.com, Wanderlei says that he no longer has a need to fight Anderson, and he even plans on working with the champ’s Black House team in the near future.
“From now on I don’t want to fight this man,” Wanderlei said. “Maybe as soon as possible I’m going train with him in L.A. because he has a good thing there.”
“He offered to give me a few classes and I think it would be good for me, for him, and I’m going to train with him there,” Wanderlei commented.
