Wanderlei Silva supports Jose Aldo’s battle against the UFC: ‘You’ll have the respect you deserve at Rizin’

Jose Aldo wants to leave the UFC, and another Brazilian star supports his battle against the promotion.

Wanderlei Silva, who fought against the promotion for a long time until he was finally granted his release from the promotion, posted a video on his Facebook page with a message for Aldo.

Silva, who returns to action on Dec. 29 against Mirko Cro Cop at Rizin Fighting Federation, asked the current UFC interim featherweight champion to sign with the Japanese promotion. According to Aldo's manager Andre Pederneiras, the featherweight star is willing to go to court to get his contract terminated.
