Wanderlei Silva's partner for his tag team matchup against Kazushi Sakuraba and Hideo Tokoro in the Rizin Fighting Federation 3 main event later this month was just revealed. As announced on a press conference in Japan, Wand will team up with former opponent and mixed martial arts pioneer Kiyoshi Tamura.
Silva and Tamura fought at PRIDE 19 in 2002. The Axe Murderer won via second-round knockout. Wanderlei also discussed the match up at The MMA Hour on Monday.
"I’m gonna fight on (where) Sakuraba is better -- supposed to be better than me," Silva told Helwani.
