Today’s afternoon, night inGermany, the UFC 99 will make its first edition in the beer land, but there’s an American wanting to put water in the beer of the Brazilian Wanderlei Silva. Beginning his journey towards the middle weight, Wand will face Rich Franklin in an intermediary weight, and want to return to the victories in the Ultimate.

"I'm working a lot for this fight, I’m training a lot and giving my best in all trainings. I'm at my best, because I know the importance of this fight. It has two alternatives: either I knockout the guy, or he knockout me, it will be a bloody fight... This fight won’t be warm, because I’m not a warm fighter", says Wanderlei, in an video interview published in his blog. "I respect the guy, but not now, he is my opponent and I know I have to kick his ass on the 13^th, because this is very important for my career".

Beyond promising a great presentation, the Mad Dog takes to ask for the support of the fans. "Now, more than ever, I want to ask for the support of the crowd, of my fans, who will make a barbecue on June 13... I know the responsibility, I’m with a very big weight in the back. I know I have to win, and need a lot of the cheer of you all. I promise, I’ll make a worth presentation to all of you", said Wanderlei
