Waiting to make his first fight in the UFC middleweight division, we spoke with Wanderlei Silva about his gym in Las Vegas and how he’s doing to overcome this bad phase in his career, after the knockout loss to Rampage Jackson. In an exclusive interview, that you can check on TATAME Magazine’s May issue, Wand talked about his life in the UFC and made a surprising invitement: “my gym’s door are open to Paulo (Filho) and (Ricardo) Arona”.

 

Big rivals since Pride times, the former Chute Boxe team had no relationship with both, but, in what he called “new thoughts”, revealed he’d like to train with his ex-rivals, guarantying the rivalry is in the past. “Everybody is professional. I had my rivalry with Arona, but nothing really happened, it’s passed and gave us and the fans great episodes of MMA rivalry… If they actually come here, I put them to fight tomorrow. Who doesn’t want an Arona and Paulão?”, asked Wanderlei, confirming, yet, the partnership with Rafael Cordeiro in his training, speaking about the bad blood with Anderson Silva and more.
