Wanderlei Silva is scheduled to face Brian Stann on the UFC's return to Japan, this Saturday (2). But a victory against the North American could be the Brazilian's opportunity to guarantee another performance on the stage that made him famous at the beginning of the last decade. This is because Japanese Yoshihiro Akiyama revealed his desire to face Wand as coach of the first edition of TUF Japan.
“It would be wonderful if I were chosen to be the TUF coach with Wanderlei. I couldn't fight him before, but it would be great if the UFC wants to do it”, said the Japanese, during a question and answer session with UFC fans.
The fight between Wanderlei Silva, and Yoshihiro Akiyama should have happened at UFC 132, but the Japanese ended up leaving the duel due to an injury.

I'd love to win one of these because it's a top of the line car. Wonderful. Too bad I can't buy it. Can you give me one? Thanks.
