June 20, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Wanderlei Silva spoke with MMAjunkie for a new interview ahead of his fight with Chael Sonnen at Bellator NYC. The highlights are below:

On Sonnen: “I’ve never had an opponent like this, and I don’t like it. I had some bad guys like (Ricardo) Arona, but (Sonnen is) many times more. I need to concentrate and be ready to make the fight what I want to do.”

On his plan for the fight: “For sure I’m going to hurt him, a lot. I want to feel his blood on the ground.”

On returning to the cage: “It’s been a long time since my last fight. Now, finally, my technique is back. Everything is right, and I’m really happy. I’m so happy to get back to work…I trained a lot of knees, because I know what he wants to do. He has just one movement, and in that moment, I’m going to catch him.”
