"I didn't come here to fight, to cause trouble. I came here to put on a show for you guys, to do my best. And if Wanderlei headbutted me, it was me and him, the teams shouldn't get involved... I want to apologize, guys, I came here to do my best. And another thing, Vitor (Belfort), if you're here, my brother, you're next. Where are you, Vitor? Come here, Vitor!" said Popó.

please note that Vitor belfort was the original rival of Wanderlei Silva for Spaten Fight Night 2, but the 'Phenomenon' was unable to step into the ring to face his biggest rival in a rematch after 27 years.
