Interview with Wanderlei Silva after Liddell Fight
Here is a great interview with Wanderlei Silva that Kevin Iole did over at Yahoo Sports in which Silva talks about the fight and his respect for Liddell.
I like this part:
A week after the rousing bout, he said he has more respect for Liddell than he ever did before.
“He’s good, very, very good,” Silva said. “People should realize how good, how strong Chuck is. I knew he was good, but he’s better than I thought. He’s big. These guys in the UFC, they’re all so big.”
As soon as Silva said that, though, he smiled. He anticipated the next question would be whether he’d consider a drop to middleweight, where the limit is 185 pounds and the fighters are much more his size.
But he quickly ruled that out.
“That’s way too much weight for me to lose,” Silva said. “I couldn’t do it.”
