Silva wants 4th Rampage fight in hometown

Wanderlei Silva would gladly stand across from Quinton "Rampage" Jackson once more - but on one condition.

After Jackson said he owed his longtime rival "another ass-whooping" on Monday's edition of "The MMA Hour," Silva told Brazil's Gazeta do Povo he aimed to see their fourth fight go down in his native Curitiba (translation courtesy of MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz).

"I will (talk to Bellator president Scott Coker), but I want to do this rematch with 'Rampage' at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba," Silva said. "I'll put this as a condition, to be in my hometown. Then it would be worth the effort. Money alone isn't worth it, it has to be something more, and that would be fighting in front of my friends in Curitiba."

The pair of fighters - both of whom were last seen dropping decisions to Chael Sonnen under the Bellator banner - have tangled a total of three times. Silva gave Jackson what the latter has repeatedly deemed his two worst beatings in the Pride FC ring back in 2003 and 2004, with Rampage getting some revenge via first-round KO at UFC 92 four years later.

The 39-year-old Jackson no longer competes at 205 pounds as he did in his prime, but Silva - no stranger to moving up in weight - said he was willing to accommodate.

"I'm kind of big, too, with 229 pounds," he said. "I'm training a bit stronger. He's fat. I want to beat him up like a roly-poly toy. I'd beat him up. I hate him so much.

"That knockout he gave me (at UFC 92), hit a lucky hand on my chin. And after I went down he went there and landed another one. I hate him. I only wait for the next one to return the favor. It will be a brawl, the way people want."
