Folgendes hat Ricardo Arona vor kurzem ueber Wanderlei Silva gesagt:
“I don't consider Wanderlei (Silva) as a favorite to take this title. Wanderlei's game is working because he's too aggressive and with one blow he can define a fight. But he's just counting on it, to hit a blow and define the fight. I think a fighter must be a little better than it. If the fight becomes tight, the fighter may have to develop it (switch tactics) and I think he can't. His ground game is not so good; he doesn't know how to take the opponent down; and on the feet, he is just counting on a merciful blow. He's less complete than me, Minotoro, Shogun and Alistair.
