It has been mentioned by Silva that he wants to defend his belt against Minotoro at the USA show! That would be amazing.
In 2006, one of Silva’s plans is to defend his title, which could take place in the American edition of PRIDE, set for October in Las Vegas.
“I would really like to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pictures),” he said. “I think he must beat a top [fighter] to get his ‘credential.’ I feel it will be him, someone I really wanted to fight with, because he’s courageous, just like his brother. He holds the punches, gets into the game and I’m sure that I will do with him a very technical fight, with lots of punches on the face than the one I did with Arona. It will be a very exciting fight. He’s definitely someone on my level.”
