well at least we got a match that I want to see at 85! Screw the move to LHW a match and (if it’s a war) a rematch suit me just fine!

would love to see wandy axemurder silva

I welcome this turn of events. At least this is going to fire up Wanderlei and give him something to look forward to. If UFC can hype this well, it can really draw a lot of PPVs. Give Wanderlei a couple of fights at 185, if he wins we have a BIG fight coming up. I also would like to see Wanderlei vs Henderson at 185. They 1-1, so it’s time to settle the score.

where does wandi get off callin anderson cocky……wandy is such a cocky mother fucker , its jokes, like you are just gunna get ktfo a few times more and think jsut like chuck u will be one win away from a title shot even tho you got KNOCKED OUT HARDCORE, both of them
WAR THE SPIDER, and screw shogun if chuck doesnt beat him im so pissed

I read somwhere that Wandy was upset over a knockout during training. He didnt mention any names of the people involved. He was just pissed because wandy felt that stuff like that should be left in the gym. So im thinking that Anderson Silva got the best of Wandy during sparring and spoke to the media about it. Thats just my guess.

How awesome would it by if Wanderlei knocked the crap out of Silva? I don’t think Silva will be able to get passed Thales, but it would still be awesome to see these two collide.

don’t think Silva will get passed Thales LOL Thales sucks! Who has he fought Jason Guida? I am sick of people getting behind these bad strikers who are great BBJ fighters. Look at the current Champions: Brock Lesnar/Wrestler, Rashad Evans/Wrestler, Anderson Silva Primarily a Striker/BBJ, Georges St. Pierre became a Wrestler/GNP, Bj Penn Striker/BBJ. Still think BJJ is superior? I think not so those of you who think Tahles or Maia has a chance to beat Anderson Silva think again BJJ is no longer the dominent winning attack in MMA. Anderson Silva TKO 1st round he is coming in thin and super fast watch out Thales!

To summaries this for all who are just joining us… What these two guys are saying is “Mine is bigger then yours”. As a result they will pull out all they got, one day, in the octagon and prove who’s the bigger badder guy.

These two have similar styles but I don’t care what anybody says; If Wanderlei is on the top of his game, he would destroy the spider. I am changing my position for tonight’s matchup between Silva and Leites. I hope Silva wins so Wanderlei can fight him after he beats Franklin. The UFC was touting this guy as best pound for pound fighter in the world before his win over Henderson and his second victory over Franklin. There might be a good argument for top 3 right now but he wasn’t even top 10 before beating Henderson. The UFC keeps giving him very average fighters (aside from Franklin and Henderson) to up his wins and mitigate his 4 loses. Conspiracy???

Clouds open up…light shines down………..

HALLELUYAH!

thank you mania this would be legendary if this match could ever come about!

I for one am not interested in the slightest about this potential match. Not one bit. Call me mad, but I think it would be the biggest anticlimax since Silva/Cote. Except even less exciting.

Wandy is dropping to 185 because #1 he cant beat the top guys in UFC at 205, and #2 more importantly, he can’t beat the top guys because hes past his prime. 1-4 in 5 (1-2 in UFC) is not the record of a title contender. Its the record of someone about to be fired. Granted, he was against some of the best guys, but that is even more proof hes NOT one of the best guys anymore. And lets not forget 2 of them were Liddell (a fantastic fight yes, but Liddell was never in any danger) who incidently is on about the same win loss record amid speculation of calling it a day, and Cro Cop who also flopped fantastically in UFC (who also should call it a day). I dont even have Wandy beating Franklin in a couple of months.

Secondily, Anderson is at his PEAK. Not only that, consider the size difference!!! David vs Goliath, except its David Sr, not Dave the killer.

Of course, anything could happen in MMA. But I for one believe it would be a massacre. Anderson would destroy him and send him packing from the UFC, yet another PRIDE flop. Wandy is (was) a great fighter, but his best days are over.

chris ur mad

if wanderlei beats franklin, this fight is very likely, it may even be at 195, if wanderlei cant cut down to 185

I hope Wandy piles up some wins at 185 and puts fucking Anderson to sleep

I get the feeling these two were on the phone planning their public statement strategy to make this fight happen.

Hey it looks to me that maybe Chute de Box fighters may head to Wanderlei’s gym in Vegas. Shogub is heading there win or loose after Chucks fight. Santos may move there now being a major player for strikeforce. So we could see a move on. Would be interesting to see the old trainers there too.
This proves that Wanderlei is a man of his word. He will face anyone and win or loose its war!

Anderson Silva is waaaaaayyy to cocky for a guy who’s competition outside of Hendo has been very lack luster. Nate and Rich are B-leaguers.

WARRRR WANDERLEI WHOOPED THAT COCKY BASTARD’S ASS!! i always thought silva was cocky especially when he loses remember how he called Okami a quitter when he illegal upkicked him in the FACE and how he called Cote “unprepared” when hes the one who cant do anything with him.

What a match this would be!

I would like nothing more than for WANDY to KO A.Silva in BRUTAL fashion! Vicious Muay Tai Knees and dangerous POWER!

BUTTTT

something tells me the Spider’s PIN-POINT accuracy would end up leaving WANDY and his left and right hooks on the wrong end of yet another disparaging T/KO.

OK, I’m a fan of both these guys. But come on, this is such a work. They both know that if they both win their next fights that the big money fight at 185 is the ‘Spider’ vs. ‘The Axe Murderer’ and they are trying to plant the seeds to hype it. There is no way Anderson is ‘offended’ that Wandy is dropping down. They both want big fights and this is it.

Funny thing is I would be hyped for this fight without all the extra trash talk, but I guess it helps sell to the casual fans better.

Wanderlei is just looking for rivalries to stretch his career out. He was an amazing brawler, then his holes got sussed and then he started getting knocked out and now he isnt world champion material anymore. But as I said earlier he doesleave behind some impressive performances.

This beef with silva is some bullshit to build up a fight for another 205 demolition Job for Anderson Silva

Nuff Said

Wandi should thrash spidey just for wearing those glasses….

ok people unless dana jus makes this fight fo ppv buys this fight wont happen….wandy wont b able to beat rich,hendo,bisping,nate the great,demian maia do i need to continue

I support Wandy b/c Anderson started this crap!

I’m ready to see that fight! Bring it on as soon as possible.

I dunno about most of you but if u want to talk about who has fought the best fighters so far in their career, its hands down GSP. Just look @ his resume, GSP has been in the UFC for a lil over 4 yrs & he has beatin the whos who in the UFC @ WW. He has beaten many top 10 in the world, top 5 in the world, top 3 & top contenders almost every 2nd fight. The only blemish on GSP is that lucky loss to Serra (but give credit 2 Serra 4 winning, but it was luck & GSP proved it) if u want luck look @ all of Andersons losses all 4 of them were on the ground & submissions. Anderson lost to Ryo Chonan by the craziest submission/move EVER in MMA a flying heel hook WTF?!? Anyway, even the best cant win them all, but GSP has beatin every guy he has fought (which makes him the only fighter to have that stat) the only fighter to have bestin BJ Penn twice & the 2nd time was a joke, it was like BJ was a NOOB which is crazy since alot of people had BJ as the top #1 P4P fighter in the world & GSP owned him big time in every aspect of that fight, vaseline had nothign 2 do with his win or the fact GSP passed BJs guard 6 or 7 times, like Rogan said “have we seen anyone do this to BJ b4?” HELL NOOOOO!!!
My point is that there were 4 people considered as P4P (GSP, Fedor, Anderson & BJ) I said the winner of BJ & GSP should b the #1 P4P since they have fought a “member” of the P4P how does the winner/GSP not b considred the top P4P in the world? GSP is spanking people like anderson is but GSP is doing it to way better fighters BJ being the best example X2.

GSP made BJ quit on his stool in the ring OUCH, point made.

anderson never was banned from pride by chute boxe

he was embarassed by takase and chonan

Tough to say who is better GSP or Silva. Both are certainly scarey fighters. I’d agree that GSP has beatin more notable guys but the knockouts that Anderson has delivered are beyond convincing of his lethality.

I don’t know what the whole Anderson/Wanderlei thing is all about. Perhaps it’s a way to bring some hype to the division. These guys have known each other for decades. Anyway, I hope Wanderlei comes back as his aggressive self. I don’t think we’ve seen the same guy since cro cop knocked him out (almost a 30 pound weight difference-fight should have never happened). If you watch his recent fights, he is pretty cautious. Watch the older fights and you’ll see that he dramatically more aggressive. So I hope he comes back reminiscent of his old self and puts in a good show to get another title shot.
