Speaking to MMA Junkie, the Briton stated that on his part, he can go online and call out Wanderlei stating that he is an absolute legend in the sport and ask for the opportunity to fight him, but nobody would even notice that. Rather if he called him out stating that he might be a legend but he hasn’t faced anyone like him, and he would teach him a thing or two about knocking the opposition out, then maybe it would get noticed.

Wanderlei Silva, who returned to the UFC Octagon after a year long hiatus, defeated the former marine Brian Stann in a UFC event in Japan via technical knockout in just the second round. His performance on the night earned him the Fight of the Night as well as the Knockout of the Night gongs from the promotion as well.

With the Brazilian still having a few fights left on his contract, there is every chance that the match between him and Watson might take place. But it all depends on UFC matchmaker Joe Silva.

Tom Watson beat Stanislav Nedkov in his last fight in February to take his professional record up to 16-5. Both Wanderlei Silva and Tom Watson do not have any opponent scheduled for their next fight or even a timeline for the next bout and this match could easily become a reality if Watson pushed hard.

But in all probability, Brad Tavares will have to be disappointed because Wanderlei Silva is at a stage in his career where he wouldn’t want any up and comer as his opponent but would prefer a big name. having defeated Brian Stann a few days back, he is in line to face someone ranked much higher than the youngster.
