Wanderlei Silva has confirmed his next opponent. In a video blog entitled ‘Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama’, the legendary Brazilian confirms the fight for Sydney, Australia on February 21st.
“Finally I have the date for my next fight. I am going to fight on 21st of February in Sydney Australia. I am so happy because this is the first event there and my boss has chosen to put me there, it is a great honour for me because it is the main event,” he says in the video.

If Akiyama fights like he did against Belcher he's going to get demolished IMO. Hopefully he's over his octagon jitters.

this is a GREAT fight for the Australia card, im so happy 
but ive been thinking it could be a 18+ event like in Germany, if it is I will miss out by less than a month !!!
I will be the world's angriest man if that happens. well i guess i wont quite be a man yet lol ......

Silva's the favorite, but counting out Akiyama is foolish. He's not a can or give-me fight at all; he has own set of powerful hands.
Should be fireworks and a knockout. Can't wait.

Wand 1st round KO! I think this is the start to a good run in the MW div for him.
