Wanderlei Silva gave an interview to MMA weekly and talked about his love for his fans and for the UFC crowd.

My corner talked to me, it’s one minute to finish the round; I’m thinking, three minutes, we no have action, we don’t have nothing. And the public is starting to boo. The guy not going to come in – I come in. I open my guard, and he got me.

I don’t think it’s an excuse. He really thinks that way. That’s why he lost to Chuck Liddell too. I hope he got and understood the Dana White’s warning to Chuck Liddell and made it his…
