Silva Signs with UFC - Video Footage
It’s official, finally! Wanderlei Silva signed a contract with the UFC today. The UFC has released video footage of the actually signing. It’s a bit anticlimatic but still cool to see that the deal has been made.
Silva is excited to return to the octagon in December of this year although his opponent is still TBD.
“Many fighters have a dream of fighting for the UFC, and as a champion for six years in Japan, my dream has always been to have the UFC belt,” said Silva. “Today, I’m one step closer to this goal.”
Dana White seemed even more pumped by saying,
“As crazy as this sounds, this is the pinnacle of my seven year career in this company,” said UFC President Dana White. “I’m so excited to have this guy under contract. He grabbed my arm and looked me in the eyes like one of his pre-fight staredowns and he said ‘I’m gonna fight so good for you, you’re gonna see the best fights ever from Wanderlei Silva.’”
