Per Combate, Silva disclosed that he is not just negotiating with Bellator and Rizin, but he is also looking at a possible bout with Fedor Emelianenko. “I was upset with everything, having to go to Supreme Court, going to the justice, lawyers, it all took my desire to fight away. I had been upset with that because I am an idol, I am understood all over the Earth, and I wish to be treated as such, not as an outlaw. The commission produces difficulties so they can come up with a solution. In my opinion, that’s completely wrong. They ought to review they entire statute and legislation, because that is wrong. I had a meeting with Nobuyuki Sakakibara, and he is super interested in bringing me back to Japan, he said the Japanese are anxious to see me compete . We are also flirting with Bellator,” he explained with a laugh. “They wish to create a deal together so I will fight in Japan and here in the USA, and I’d fight for the two promotions. I am negotiating an exhibition fight in Rizin on April 17. They provided me a jiu-jitsu match, two versus two. It’d be Team Wanderlei, Andre Dida and I, against a group from Japan. I’m also negotiating a tournament in Japan, in which I would fight in September and come back in December for 2 fights in 1 night. That’s the plan for 2016.” I truly want to fight again in Japan. The Japanese promotion created Wanderlei Silva… I ended my career a while ago for disgust, not because I could not do it physically or emotionally, but also for disgust. However, I think this time made me really like it , and I am really happy that I am feeling this desire to fight again. As I said, I’m in negotiation to return to fighting in Japan and I truly want huge challenges. There’s a chance of combating Fedor, who’s an opponent I would really like to fight. I am not only speaking, but can’t be the first person, correct?” Said”The Axe Murderer”. “Now that I haven’t fought in two years, I can not get him right away. I want to do a few battles first, get my rhythm back, and once the promotion thinks it’s time and I think I’m in a fantastic rhythm, I’d really need to test myself , for certain. I’ve fought the very best in the world . I’d like to check myself against him. I really don’t have anything against Fedor, but I’d love to test myself and see how it goes.” Cyril Asker vs. Jared Cannonier place for UFC Fight Night 86 UFC officials announced Monday that a heavyweight matchup involving Cyril Asker vs. Jared Cannonier was added to the April UFC card at Croatia.
