Wanderlei Silva camp confirms medical procedure for 'The Axe Murderer'

MMAmania.com (www.mmamania.com) has been able to confirm with sources inside the Wanderlei Silva camp that "The Axe Murderer" has recently undergone a medical procedure.
Silva is expected to make an announcement on his official Web site (www.wandfightteam.com) in the next few days to further discuss the procedure and reveal a timetable for his Octagon return.
Rumors began to circulate earlier this week after Michael Bisping posted an entry on his official blog stating that a potential fight against the Brazilian at UFC 105 was now off the table as a result of facial surgery.
From "The Count:"
"Quick update on the potential Wanderlei Silva fight. Unfortunately thats not gonna happen. He's undergone facial surgery, so obviously won't be fighting in the near future. Rumours are he's actually out for the rest of the year. So as of right now, Im still unaware of who I'll be facing at UFC 105. Obviously as stated before, when I know, you know."
Silva has over 40 professional fights since his debut in 1996 and countless others in smaller and undocumented promotions. Wandy is notorious for his crowd-pleasing wars but over time the physical abuse had obviously taken its toll.
And anyone familiar with Silva's training style can tell you it's just as intense and abusive as actually competing.
Stay tuned for more information and a health update on the former PRIDE champion as it becomes available in the next few days.

Is that a picture of before the surgery, or after??? Cuz all the surgery in the world can’t make Wandi a stud. He’s just an ugly s.o.b.

Unbelievable! So I guess that the pictures was real?

100%! WTF was he thinkin’? Does he have that much scar tissue to require surgery?…Sux…

That scar tissue makes you bleed like a stuffed pig. Forrest got it done, Nick Diaz got it done, Marcus Davis. All of them. and conutless #s of pro boxer remov escar tissue from their face to prevent unecessary bleeding that can potentially cause a fight to be stopped.

If that was a joke it was lame, I sure as hell missed the punch line! Not trying to be a dick but rather shine some light on the situation

You’re definetely a few fries short of a happy meal. Yeah, I’m “poutting” about a freak like you being unable to comprehend something that I wrote. You might be the biggest f*cking idiot I’ve come accross on this site. I’m actually, almost speechless! I’m sure I am not alone in thinking this.

If the fight is going to go down, allamerican, you gotta act quick, because its only a matter of days until the 6th grade school year begins, and Worby wont be around any more.

NO SH*T VM!! Am I wrong for thinking that this guy is a little strange? I hate to keep argueing with this moron, but I’m just baffled by his stupidity! I would love to meet this guy just to see if he’s slightly retarded, a little slow, or just 11 years old! And the thing is: he thinks he’s funny! If that was a joke like he says, it was the worst attempt at humor in the world. Could he not tell that I was joking about the first post line?

I don’t think Wandy’s face is really in that much danger from Bisping.

Lol, good call PW. How much damage could Bisping do?

Oh crap! I was expecting Bisping to get a Hendo style knock out again. Now we have to wait.

Why is Wand getting face surgery when he’s going to get his face bashed in again anyway? His style of fighting is designed to hit people’s fist with his face hoping to break their hand and then knock them out. Wanda has the most reckless style in the UFC. He’s full steam ahead and it’s hit or get hit. He needs to learn from Anderson and look at his face. Anderson doesn’t even have a blemish on his face or any collie flower ears. Anyone else notice how different Franklin’s nose looks since Anderson broke it twice? Rich doesn’t look nearly as much like a pretty boy as he once did.

He might get busted up again, but in the mean time with all the scar tissue removed he won’t cut as easily during a fight. It should make it tougher to bust him open now and it can’t hurt the PR either, even tho IMO the fans love the guy as it is.
by O damn he got caught on Aug 20, 2009 8:33 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You and me both locc dawg. I do however think that Bisping is going to come back and be a much bigger p*ssy after his KO. Now he’ll run and dance even better than before! Therefore, I’m not so sure that Wandi would have gotten the KO.

Wow, I guess he went the Michael Jackson route[no disrespect to Jacko]. My only question is why? Oh why?!

Wand is the man, War Wand.
Hope he heals up well.
Marcus Davis had a simlilar surgery recently to remove scar tissue and prevent bleeding.

But from the looks of it, he looked like he did plastic surgery from one of those showbiz plastic surgeons in LA and not the type done by Marcus…

lol, yeah he looks more like a guy who got a face lift than a scar tissue operation.

Exactly the term that I was lookin’ for..‘facelift’…

Yeah, don’t mind Daniel, he’s slightly retarded. How could you possibly mis-read what I posted about being first?

I didn’t misread it you moron. Man are you slow. I was simply joking around. But some heroes can’t take that.
Every1 take note. No having fun when allamericanretard is around. Watch out too! He is scary!
He doesn’t play! He quit school because of recess

LOL I can picture the grinch now. Wandy is awsome ugly or not he in my mind is the greatest MMA fighter ever! Not only has he been in more real wars than any fighter win or lose he goes 110% full out relentless kill or be killed attitude from his bare knuckle day’s to Pride to the UFC I can’t remember one boring fight from him unless you call a early KO boring he’s the Pitbull of MMA. If you rate a fighter by the wins and losses he might not be on your list but if you rate a fighter by the quality of fights they have been in and the excitment of those fights he is with out a doubt the best ever. Good look Wandy I can’t wait to see you back in action.

Um, guys, isnt this his official site? It’s been up for years… I could be wrong I suppose, but this one has been around a lot longer than the fight team one.

who cares who the count fights, BIs-Stink has fought cans except for Hendo.
by iamdanawhite on Aug 19, 2009 8:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
not only that he lost to Hammil and that was a huge rip off. I love how it says that he demanded a top contender after that performance… Who the hell is he that he gets to demand anything? Especially following a fight like that..
The count can count on one thing, he’ll never ne be in a title shot, and they’ll always just use him for UK events

We all know Wanderlei would have mowed Bisbing down and raped choked that fool, thats a fact within the first two minutes. Bisbing doesnt have KO power and his running would get him know where and you can only run so far from Wanderlei till he gets you. & I dont give a damn if he trains with Page or not a pissed off on game Wanderlei would win always. Always

Can anyone tell me if Bisping has got up yet from the right hand he circled right into by Henderson?
I was so looking forward to Bisping getting destroyed again, now have to find something else to do for pure pleasure this fall/winter
