Silva wants to kill Jackson........

UFC Light Heavyweight Wanderlei Silva recently sat down with MMAWeekly.com to discuss his upcoming fight with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 92 this Saturday:

On the difference between fighting Jackson in the UFC and facing him in PRIDE:

"It's a different place now. We'll fight in the cage and the gloves here are more small, the fights are more aggressive. He has heavy hands. I have to be careful with this, but for me it's no problem because I love an aggressive match. Every fan live and on TV is going to have the best fight.

"It's a totally different time, totally different fighter. He changed his team; I changed my team. It's a different place, different organization; he was the last champion. I know he's still hungry for a fight with me. I'm too hungry for a fight with him."

On if he wanted to face Jackson for a third time:

"Yeah because I watch in interviews and he's talking he wants to fight with me again. After the UFC offered the match to me, I'm so happy because this is a great opportunity for me because he's the best name here. He beat Chuck (Liddell) two times, and he's a very, very strong fighter."

Does he like Rampage?:

"Everybody has the guys that you don't like. The first time I watch him, I don't like him. Now no change, I don't like him. This time I'm training even more and more. I'm training all day, every day, because I want to have my best condition to beat this guy again.

"I want to kill this guy; I don't like him. This is really no promotion. I don't talk with him. I don't like him; he knows this."
