Wanderlei Silva: See you in 2008

We simply may have seen the last of the victorious Wanderlei Silva, IMO if he does take the rest of the year off, and mounts a comeback only to lose via KO again I’m sure he would retire. Hopefully it will be Chuck or some other UFC fighter to do him in.

Damn man….Who cares if he comes back or not….Wandy doesn’t have what it takes to hang with the top 10 in the UFC LHW!…That’s why Wandy’s taking a year off!…Wandy needs to change his whole game-plan around….f’k em!
Salute

I think its a good idea Silva is taking sometime off.With two back to back losses he needs time to regroup and figure out what he’s doing next.Hope fully he makes it over to UFC and the much atticipated showdown between him and Liddell will happen.

Top 10? seriously. that is grossly overstated. considering wandi killed the number 1 contender, rampage, TWICE!!! 1st and 2nd round (t)KO’s. and he beat Fujita less than a year back. I love the UFC but come on now

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer Silva VS. Chuck “The Iceman” Lidell. UM good fight, but i got to pick The Axe Murderer on this one.

wandy will is still a top ten fighter aroung the world. when rampage beats chuck next week everyone will understand how significant it is that he beat rampage twice.

I hope he comes back strong, he is a great fighter on his day and an iconic figure in MMA. Would be a shame if he never got the prestige he deserved by getting a bite of mainstream America and the UFC vs Pride saga.

Silva vs Machida

I’d like to see it. He would not back down to Chuck. It would be interesting to see what Chuck would do if Wandy got him in the clinch…. his knockout of Rampage from the clinch was one of the best knockouts ever.

That being said, if he doesn’t handle his current adversity like a fighter and come back more determined and hungry, he will never get within ten feet of a fight with Chuck.

For the fans, an ideal scenario would be Chuck losing the belt in an exciting and dramatic fight…. a fight where both fighter let it all hang out. Wandy makes his come back and fights Chuck after a warm up bought Brandon Vera. Couture comes back down to LHW and fights Rampage. Chuck and Wandy fight for a shot at Rampage’s/Couture’s title.

I thought of a second scenario that had Chuck fighting the winner of Spiderman and Chuck Norris after beating Rampage. In this scenario, I also start dating Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria at the same time and they are cool with it.

I remember another fight with fighters coming off lose to the top contenders. It was Tito and Vitor, they had an amazing fight. So maybe this time off will do him a world of good.

What happened to that little chart on the right hand side that showed how many comments you’ve posted. Thought that was preety sweet.

I think that Wand is doing the SMART thing. Take the time off and train for the cage on the down low. Wand is kinda like Frank Shamrock in the sense that Frank was ahead of his time. Wand was kinda ahead of his time in the way he dominated people as well, it took a heavyweight to KO him and then Hendo came in and feasted on the scraps. If I am Wand I would actually pull a Frank and go sign with EliteXC and only fight in high profile fights.

Guys like Wand, Fedor, Frank, Renzo, Rob McCullouh, all of those guys have the potential to Push MMA further by putting on Superfights without signing to UFC exclusively. If these guys were to decide that they were going to sign deals for PPV and jus have a promoter come and promote the event and bid on the purses they would attract guys who want to prove themselves against them. EliteXC would be smart to go after Wand, Fedor, and some others and just let Shogun go to UFC that way Wand and Shogun won’t have an excuse for only one of them being able to be a champ.

That’s a bummer man, I hope he pulls it together.

Screw silva….why hasn’t Hendo been in talks or lined up to fight Chuck??? That would be a great fight.

Screw Silva? What one of the most dominante guys in the sport finally loses to arguably the best in the weight class above him, then can’t pull it together in time for hendo, and your writing him off? Dude Silva is one of the best there is. I would love nothing more than to see him come back 100%, the old Silva, that would be awsome to see thrown in the mix.

Damn man….You could not be more off on your assessment of the UFC LHW top 10. Silva would crush most of them, and has a good chance against all of them.

And you know that if Silva comes over to UFC, his little buddy Shogun will most likely be close behind and then Chuck will definitely lose his belt.

Needs to keep fighting while he’s still in his prime.

I agree….I don’t think the year off is smart. This might mean UFC signing in early 2008

LOL….How about fedor vs. godzilla, or Jessica Alba vs. Eva Longoria (ufc first vegatable oil match) Don the pretidor Fry vs. Rosie O’donnell?

How about a Wanderlei Silva vs. Tito rematch?

How about a Wanderlei Silva vs. Tito rematch?

Yes……sir

How about a Wanderlei Silva vs. Tito rematch?

It’s loooooong overdue. I’d like to see Wand make his return in 2008 with a rematch against Tito.

Oops, I forgot to add that if you dont know much about Wand, before you try & discredit him, you should try to watch some of his fights. Search the internet. You’ll be glad you did.

Shogun is overrated. Bottom line.
