We are also flirting with Bellator,” he said with a laugh. “They want to create a bargain together so I will struggle in Japan and here in the USA, and I’d fight for both promotions. I’m negotiating an exhibition fight in Rizin on April 17. They provided me a jiu-jitsu game, two . It would be Team Wanderlei, Andre Dida and I, against a group from Japan. I am also negotiating a championship in Japan, in which I’d fight in September and return in December for two fights in one night. That is the plan for 2016.” I truly want to fight again in Japan. The Japanese advertising 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 believe this time off made me actually like it , and I am really happy that I’m feeling this desire to fight again. As I said, I’m in negotiation to return to battling in Japan and I truly want huge challenges. There is a possibility of combating Fedor, who’s an opponent I would really like to battle. I’m not only speaking, but can not be the first one, correct?” Stated”The Axe Murderer”. “Now I haven’t fought in a couple of years, I can’t get him right away. I want to do a few fights first, get my rhythm back, and when the promotion thinks it is time and I feel I’m in a good rhythm, I would really want to test myself , for sure. I’ve fought the very best in the world . I would really like to check myself . I don’t have a thing against Fedor, but I’d love to check myself and see how it goes” Cyril Asker vs. Jared Cannonier place for UFC Fight Night 86 UFC officials announced Monday a heavyweight matchup between Cyril Asker vs. Jared Cannonier was added to the April UFC card in Croatia.
