On April 1 Vanderley Silva reported in the twitter, and then and to all journalists who called it that it will replace the injured Alexander Gustafsson in fight against Gegard Musasi. Many fans didn't estimate Vanderley's joke and today he apologized.

"I only arrived from a trip and was at home. I saw how someone joked in the twitter and I suddenly realized that it there was an April Fools' Day. I started thinking. Nobody knew that happens to fight of Musasi and many people wanted that I fought. So I wrote the message in the twitter and started considering. On the seventh second my phone rang out and it there was a journalist Globo.com. These guys are very fast. Here I call it productive work. They called me about news. As it is possible that everyone was made a fool in Day of fools! ? Some people became angry, but calm down, everyone comes across on a joke once. It simply joke. Some were disappointed that Vand won't fight on Saturday. I want to wish Musasi of good luck and will apologize before it. If you don't accept my apologies, I too fight in a light heavyweight".

"Support which I got was excellent. I don't fight with Musasi only because UFC didn't call me. I even told the wife that if I will be called by Joe Silva, I will go. Now I in Panama on vacation, but feel well. She answered me that I the madman. With all this support even I believed that it will occur. I apologize before all who supported me. It was the joke and I hope that you had fun the whole day. For those who apprehended it seriously, I apologize that angered you".
