Wanderlei Silva Says He Has The Health Of A 20-Year-Old

In an interview with MMA Brasil (via Bloody Elbow), Wanderlei Silva spoke about his upcoming fight with Vitor Belfort and his health. Here are highlights:

On why he came back to fighting: “I started fighting again to fight Belfort. I wanted to fight Sonnen and I did that, I fought him once and I want to fight him again, I want to fight Rampage who’s 1-1 against me (actually, it’s 2-1 for Wanderlei). But what I really want is to fight Belfort. He’s the one I want to put my hands on. And he better not come up with any broken hand excuses this time around.”

On how he feels right now: “I don’t think I’ll run into any health problems. I completely changed my diet. I’m trying to eat only a few non-organic foods. I’ve been eating more meat, rice, beans and other organic stuff. I stay out in the sun more, eat, sleep and train well. All of this gives me the health of a 20-year-old. I feel motivated. I can go through two good training sessions per day. If that guy (Sonnen) didn’t just want to smother me, it would’ve been a way better fight. I endured all three rounds going through the worst. When the best comes, you’ll see how delicious it’s going to be.”
