Wanderlei Silva’s phase wasn’t good. With three losses in four fights, the Brazilian bet on his historical and agreed to do the third fight against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, at UFC 92, the same guy that was knocked out twice by the Brazilian. However, this time the result was different. To turn things around in the UFC, Wanderlei called his ex-coach, Rafael Cordeiro, and is doing everything to repair the mistakes and go back to victories in UFC 99, against Rich Franklin.

 

"I'm doing calligraphy. When someone writes badly, he takes the notebook and writes the "a, b, c"... It is a very tough job. Yesterday, I was doing basic boxing training for an hour with my boxing coach here. He fixes me in all punches, the positioning of the foot and the hand", said Wanderlei, in an exclusive interview to the TATAME Magazine #159. In the chat, Silva also revealed that is planning to open a Wand Fight Team branch in Brazil, after the success that the team did in the United States. "I will open a branch of my gym in Brazil, it’s right. I’m just choosing the city. I’ll built my academy and I want to open the branches with all that I have here ", revealed the Axe Murderer, advancing, the intention to create a project to help poor fighters.
