“Before he was my friend, and I trained with him for a long time in Brazil before he (left). But I don’t know why he started talking bullshit about me in Brazil. I don’t know why … I think I’m inconveniencing him, understand? Because he knows who I am, and he knows it’s possible he’s in trouble with me.”

– Former PRIDE middleweight champion (93 kg/ 205 pounds), Wanderlei Silva, comments on his former friend/training partner and reigning UFC Middleweight Champion (185 pounds), Anderson Silva, during the recent UFC 99 media conference call. “The Axe Murderer” will face former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin at “The Comeback” at a catchweight of 195 pounds. It will be a transitional fight for Wanderlei, who looks to make the full drop to 185 pounds immediately following. The former Chute Boxe teammates are not shy about the fact that they haven’t seen eye-to-eye in a while. After leaving the team, “The Spider” was reportedly forbidden by Chute Boxe coach Rudimar Fedrigo from competing in PRIDE, where Wanderlei was the champion — until, that is, his friend, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira intervened. Now that Anderson is the champion, Wanderlei showed no hesitation in moving down in weight for what he said is to “fight against the best guys in the world, every time.” Anderson has stated Wanderlei’s move is “pretentious.” And the war of words continues!
