Anderson Silva completely demolished Rich Franklin and took his UFC belt, but the American seems to have no rivalry with the Champion. Actually, according to Dayton Daily News, the former champion wants to train with Anderson for his next fight, against Wanderlei Silva, at UFC 99. The champion spoke to TATAME.com about the rumors, revealing that Franklin hasn't contacted him.

 

“He didn’t said any word to me about it, but he’s gonna face a Brazilian, so it’s hard that something will happen. I don’t have anything againstFranklin either Wanderlei, both are great fighters. In other situation, I’d train with him, for sure. My gym is open for everyone. Whoever goes there can have classes and I won’t have any problems if he decides to go there, that’s the sports’ globalization”, said the UFC middleweight champion, training in Los Angeles after his ninth victory in the octagon. “I’m helping Rafael “Feijão”, Fábio Maldonado, “Dan Dan” and all the guys that will fight here and then I’ll go back to Brazil”.
