Silva Press conference(Props to puroresupower)

Monday's press conference with Vanderlei Silva in Tokyo had some news. Silva wants to do a unification fight with Randy Couture in the future. Odds of that fight are strongest for PRIDE's March show in Las Vegas.

Silva told the press that he was so tired that he just went back to his hotel room and slept (rather than partying the night away). Silva said that he was both physically and mentally fatigued from his two fights (against Hidehiko Yoshida & Quinton Jackson), but that Yoshida deserved special praise because Yoshida didn't fear his blows at all and had a big heart.

Silva said that he thinks that he will eventually work as a heavyweight in fights. Silva told the press that if promoters approached him with a re-match against Yoshida, he would take it instantly. Silva vs. Yoshida is the best bet for the main event for PRIDE's 12/31 Saitama Super Arena show. PRIDE announced that their Heavyweight GP tournament would start in Spring '04.

Hopefully Zuffa and Pride can pull it together to make this Couture vs. Silva happen.......

Man, I see big things happening in the coming year. We need to bow down to Pride President Nobuyuki Sakakibara and Takada for their work.....
