UFC 132 Fight Card: Wanderlei Silva Motivated to Return, Praises Chris Leben
Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
After recuperating from an injury that kept him out of action for nearly a year, Wanderlei Silva will return to the Octagon at UFC 132 where he’ll compete against hard-hitting striker Chris Leben.
Called “The Axe Murderer,” Silva is known for his aggressive and relentless approach and will be taking on one of the tougher competitors in the UFC middleweight division during one of the most anticipated match-ups of the year.
While conducting an interview with UFC Latino in Mexico (courtesy of FightersOnly.co.uk), Silva spoke highly of his opponent and said he expects nothing but an aggressive, entertaining fight.
“He is a fighter who comes at you,” Silva said. “He will not run away, he will try to catch me. I like exchanging hits so much and I am sure we will make a great spectacle.”
“If you like an aggressive match with much emotion, watch it because it will be a big show.”
