Interview done in the plane between Paris and London.

- Alan Kermorvan/Ironlife: Hi Wanderlei, we have one hour to spend in that plane, could you answer some questions?

Wanderlei Silva : Yeah of course, no problem! I saw you at the airport before, you seem to be a nice guy!

- Thanks! So who would you like to fight in June for the Pride MW GP second round?

I don't really care... Actually I'd like to fight Nogueira.

- Why him?

He has an open game…I think it'd make a good fight, with spectacular stand up exchanges. I want to fight the best fighters and Nogueira is one of them.

- In your opinion which fighter would pose the biggest threat to you?

I think Igor Vovchanchin, maybe it could be him... He is very good on his feet, a heavy hitter.

- What is your opinion about Liddel's victory over Couture in the last UFC event?

It's great! (big smile) And if Liddell stays the champ, I'd like to fight him. It's the first time I say it. It's exclusive for you, for you my friend and for your site! I want Liddell December 31th 2005 in Pride. It's the first time I say it my friend! (laughs) It's really because you seem to be a good guy and we get along well. (smile) I didn't even talk about it in the biggest mma magazines. We'll see if your site gets a lot of views: I officially challenges Liddell for a fight December 31th. And I can tell you I'm going to knock him out in less than five minutes. I guarantee it.(he did repeat 3 time that he wants to fight Liddel and will easily KO him !)

[Grant Ellis]

Wow, and I am glad he names Igor.

I hope u guys like this interview :)
I did spent like 17 hours with Wand this last Week end!

[sandrey1]

I don't think its smart for him to fight Hunt again, but what do I know

[Baggen]

Smart or not time will tell, but atleast it should show that he is trying to challenge himself rather then looking for easy fights.

thx guys for the nice comments!

[Iceberg]

I think Liddel will take it after what he said in his victory speech on UFC 52.

[brazilianshiva]

Liddell has been calling out Wanderlei long time ago. Every chance he has he says he would like to fight Wanderlei. It was funny when once in Japan, the interviewer asked him something like 'What are you doing here?' and he said 'Looking for Wanderlei.' I am sure Liddell already accepted the 'challenge', now it is up to Pride AND UFC to come out with a deal.

[migs]

Chuck is a threat to Silva IMO. Chuck won't need the cage like other UFC guys... would accept fight in the ring or cage I would imagine.

Silva TKO round 3 in a war.
