At the end of June, Assuério Silva spoke with TATAME.com and revealed that he was starting a “fight tour" to return to the top of the fight world. Last Sunday, the fighter participated of his first challenge fighting Muay Thai at the Brazilian Fight League, against Brandão (M13), and started with the right foot... Literally. "In the first round, we started exchanging blows and I was better. In the second, I dominated and knocked him out with a high kick in the head. The judge opened the counting and decided to continue the fight. From that I dominate until he gave up ", tells the fighter.

With the international experience of having fought in major events like Pride and UFC, Assuério knows the importance of good victories to return to the market overseas. "I know that last year I wasn’t very well, and I’m aware that I have to rebuild my career. I have to do good fights”, says, with a marathon ahead. "By the end of the year, I already signed eight fights around Brazil, two now in August. I’ll win all, God willing... and He wants! So I just have to wait that the invitation to fight in international events will come for sure", says the heavyweight, with an eye on Edson Draggo.

"Here in Brazil, I really want to fight with Edson Draggo, because this fight should have happened and until now nothing happened, the clock is ticking... The fans want to see this fight! I hope this year this confrontation happens", he said, wanting revenge outside the country. "I really want to have the opportunity to rematch with all opponents who I lost", finished th heavyweight.
