Rudimar Fedrigo: "Wanderlei is talking about his next fight" By Marcelo Alonso
A few hours after returning from the Pride Open Weight Grand Prix in Tokyo, Chute Boxe team leader Rudimar Fedrigo spoke with Full Contact Fighter about the rumors that Wanderlei Silva had some serious injuries, purportedly suffered during his fight with Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic,and could be out of the New Year’s event where he would face a challenger for his Middleweight title belt. "It’s really not true; Wanderlei has no serious injury and he is already talking about his next fights," Fedrigo said, while acknowledging that Cro Cop deserved the tournament title. "That was Mirko’s day. He fought two perfect fights and I believe even Fedor could lose to him on that night," said the Chute Boxe leader who was very impressed with the amazing support of fans and journalists after the event. "Wanderlei never chooses opponents. Winning and losing is part of the game for a fighter who is always ready for any challenge. I’m happy that the Japanese understand that, saying that Wanderlei was such a brave fighter who not only accepted [the challenge] to face the big guys in the open weight tournament, but also fought attacking all the time as he always does. As Chute Boxe leader, I’m very proud of Wanderlei," said Fedrigo promising that soon Silva will be back in the training. |
