PVT Mag 4: Wanderlei, Aldo & More

The March edition of PVT Mag comes out swinging with lots of interesting subjects for the MMA fan.

In the cover report, we debut an exclusive interview with Wanderlei Silva, who bested Michael Bisping in Australia at UFC 110. The Brazilian detailed his thoughts on the win and spoke of the challenge of making 185 pounds and the return of Rafael Cordeiro. Also, Silva defended long-time friend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira following his defeat to Cain Velasquez.

QG’s Exodus: After five years with Wanderlei Silva, the competent Rafael Alejarra decided to follow his path, opening his own academy in San Diego, Calif. PVT Mag 4 follows a day's work of the Brazilian physical trainer, who has been taking care of top guys like Junior dos Santos, Minotouro, Royler Gracie, Demian Maia and Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos.
