Wanderlei Silva has been training to go back to the origins of his agressiveness and blood eyes, the features that made him known as the Axe Murderer, or Mr Pride if you please. And to make it real, he started off the preparation for the upcoming fight with Michael Bisping at UFC 110 with former coach Rafael Cordeiro.
Cordeiro is the responsible for MMA at Affliction Fight Center and also manages his own academy KINGS MMA in Huntington Beach, USA. Recognized as one of the best trainers in the world, master Rafael has worked with a new generation of fighters and sharpening Silva, “the man of the adrenaline” as he says.
“I believe the years of war inside the ring made Wanderlei know all the pathway of the adrenaline. Today, we drive this ancient and efficient style for what he does better, that is being himself inside the ring, and more important, do what made him the icon of the martial arts” Cordeiro explained to InTheGuard.com.
“I believe this is going to be the return of the Mr Pride. The work has been done for this reason and nothing will change its direction. Too many technique sessions, much information, a lot of attacks and defenses not only in Muay Thai, but regarding everything that can happen when mixed up. I’m very happy with this camping because we’re stressing specific workouts without forgetting his cardio. But I repeat, the priority is the technique with 100% of cardio put in the sparrings sessions, where I can active Wanderlei” added the coach.
Wanderlei Silva and Michael Bisping co-headline UFC 110, on Feb 21th, at Acer Arena, event that takes place for the first time in Sidney, Australia. The main card will be presented by heavyweight stars Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez.
