Former Pride Champion Wanderlei Silva has recently directed to his resurgence into MMA by proposing a stellar event.

It has been two years since the 44-year-old has fought in a competitive sport. However, Silva is ready to lace up his gloves again and face Vitor Belfort on return. ‘The Axe Murderer’ has teased the matchup, along with a couple of other re-matches on the charts.

Wanderlei Silva might be planning for ‘Fight Club After Dark’

A few hours ago, Silva turned to Instagram and foisted an ambitious event on Mike Tyson’s ranch.

While he offered himself against Belfort, he suggested two more re-matches in Tito Ortiz vs Rashad Evans and Fabricio Werdum vs Fedor Emelianenko. Surprisingly, Silva tagged all the fighters in the post, also tagging Evander Holyfield.

Apparently, the Brazilian has had outlined all his plans. He promised to showcase an MMA event like never before, and billed the event as ‘Fight Club After Dark’.

As per Wanderlei, he has been planning to host the event on November 21 in Desert Hot Springs, a 400-acre property owned by Mike Tyson. However, none of the proposed fighters have offered a green signal from their end.

That said, Silva has also deleted the Instagram post, and it is unknown whether the event is in progress.

‘The Axe Murderer’s long time trainer Rafael Cordeiro has also appeared excited about the plan. While he is currently training Mike Tyson for his upcoming bout against Roy Jones Jr, Cordeiro is equally interested to watch Silva vs Belfort 2.

In a separate Instagram post, Cordeiro and Tyson Ranch CEO Boc Hickman appeared together to discuss its chances. The duo appeared confident about making it happen.

Is The Axe Murderer still deadly?

44-year-old Wanderlei Silva has clearly past his prime. He ended his MMA career on a sad note after facing two back-to-back losses against Chael Sonnen and Quinton Jackson in Bellator.

However, he has been one of the deadliest and well-decorated fighters of all time. Thus, MMA fans would love to see him in action again.

If materialized, Silva’s proposed event can garner massive attention and be registered as one of the biggest events of MMA history.
