    you guys ever seen the “Fedor! oh Fedor!” video? lol i found it amusing.

    SPOILER *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    Fedor just won himself another fan. All I can say is I am impressed with both fighters, and I don’t feel that Fedor getting a little busted up in the first round took anything away from his mystique.

    Good on both fighters…. of course GREAT ON FEDOR!

    SPOILER ************************************************************************************************************************************************

    OH MAN! What a great fight, considering the whole event was a snoozer Fedor really brought the house down. I hope people can now see how incredible Fedor is after that fight.

    From the point where Rogers landed a JAB that tore Fedor open THAT badly its clear to see why Arlovski got knocked out… dam that guy hits hard. Immediately after Fedor got him down he almost slapped in that armbar but Rogers handled hiself WAY BETTER than i thought he would. Sweeping Fedor and standing up at times, but when he got full mount and started bombing Fedor i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LOL then sure enough Fedor recovered.

    In the 2nd round when Fedor came out, he looked different man, SERIOUS! hard to describe in words, its like he moved more deliberately instead of feeling his way around. When i saw that big right hand land on Rogers chin i jumped up and ran out of the room screaming before Rogers even hit the mat lol. I saw the extra finishing shots in the replay but when i initially saw Rogers neck snap to the side, i knew it was over. It was like Arlovski all ove again except he wasnt flying through the air when he got knocked dead.

    If Fedor had landed that armbar right at the beginning i dont think i would have been more impressed than i was from his amazing recovery and that crazy haymaker.

    Much respect to Rogers too, that guy is DANGEROUS to anyone in the HW div… except Fedor.. why? because HES FEDOR!!!!! haha

    but ya…. WHAT A FIGHT!!!

    SPOILER ******************************************************************

    Fedor did what Fedor does, take even the smallest opening and make you pay. the guy is just so good, imagine how someone Rogers’ size feels when Fedor comes at you just swinging and when he gets close enough he just ragdolls you to the mat lol. Shields/Mayhem went down the way i hoped it wouldnt. Shields doesnt impress me all that much, he is a great grappler but he’d get murdered by Anderson or GSP. how long till we see Mousasi in the UFC? if he continues doing the things he doing it wont be long before everyones calling for him to fight some of the UFC light heavy weight elite. its nice to see Werdum get the win, ChuteBoxe FTW!

  5. richard says:

    i didnt think this night was a snoozer except for shields he should be ashamed.Fedor is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. MMAKansas says:

    Yeah guys my wife said that the Fedor fight was the best one she’s seen in a year, it lived up to the hype surrounding it…. she’s right, the UFC is so stupid for not signing this guy, meet his demands, let him compete in Sambo, pay him more than any other fighters… you know why? Because he could be Lesnar and A. Silva with a broken nose, one eye poked out, at the same time…get the guy a cape and some boots…

  7. shawn says:

    Fedor is a bad a**! who’s next to get pounded!!!!!!!!

  8. Amir says:

    I don’t think any of the Fedor haters will ever trully be quieted. Rogers is a huge, powerful sack of potatoes to handle and I didn’t really know what to expect of him before the fight. I mean, so was Gary Goodridge and we saw what Fedor did to him. I was impressed with Rogers’ ground defense and gas tank. I thought his post-fight reaction was very unprofessional.

    As for Fedor…I was very worried through most of the fight. Can I say without doubt that he would destroy Lesnar? no…no I can not. Not anymore. But, then again, how would Brock respond if he were hit cleanly on the jaw like that?
    I am afraid that Fedor would not survive a similar pounding if he were on his back taking the same blows from Brock as he was from Rogers.

    For those who still claim it was a lucky punch…your ignorance is understandable if this was your first viewing of Fedor or any other MMA fight for that matter.

    • bvrasp says:

      I agree with everything you said Amir, theres not alot of HWs who could take those kinds of bombs from Rogers and not only survive, but overcome.

      Were talking about a guy who ripped Fedor open with a JAB, id say hes atleast equal to Lesnar in terms of punching power, but obviously not wrestling power.

      Anyone who thinks that was a lucky punch is deluded, Fedor broke his hand on that punch too, just goes to show how powerful and explosive it was.

      I still think Fedor can beat Lesnar, ofcourse it wont be easy, just like this fight wasnt easy. Fedor gives up so much weight to his opponents and people say, well he always fights big guys, that doesnt mean its easy lol.

    • R.J. St.Croix says:

      i think Fedor is a lot smarter then people give him credit for, i dont think he lets a ground’n'pound guy like Lesnar posture up and tee off. if you listen to how Fedor broke down the fight after he says “i saw something in his foot play that left an opening” and if you go back and watch the fight again you’ll see Rogers does a quick little studder step just before he throws a jab, Fedor tries to take advantage of it at the start of round two but misses. for him to recognize and utilize that in the heat of the moment is outstanding and thats the reason he is the best. Brock being as green as he is WILL leave some openings and Fedor is the type of fighter to jump all over that, and aside from that how would Lesnar react to someone being hyper aggressive and throwing bombs at him like Fedor would? a lot of people took Fedor vs. Rogers as Fedor showing he can be beat, i see it the opposite, Brett had a good moment with some G’n'P but really only one shot landed (on his forehead) before Rogers found himself fighting off and armbar. aside from that and a busted up nose Fedor was never really in any trouble and ended up KOing the heavy hitting slugger on his feet.

  9. Banned2 says:

    fedor would get picked apart by a technical striker like Anderson. of course Anderson could get gassed from the weight gain. Fedor’s stand up is sloppy. he has alot of power behind his punches. but someone with footwork and head movement would have little trouble. the punch he caught Rogers with was not lucky he telegraphed it from a mile away. Fedor would have probably had that arm if Rogers wasn’t so slippery from Fedors blood. I had to give Rogers some credit for dodging 2 submissions. Fedor looked rusty to me. I think that jab woke him up. I still would pay anything to see Fedor vs Brock. The longer fedor waits the better Brock is going to get. so by the time they ever fight I think Brock will finish him. people really need to get off fedors nuts! I can’t be the only one that sees the truth. sad to say Brett may have won that fight if he wasn’t so hesitant. people really need to get past the Fedor mystic. Rogers at times seemed scared to engage.

    • MMAKansas says:

      @ Banned –

      No logic to what you just posted. “fedor would get picked apart by a technical striker like Anderson” – I don’t see how that could happen.

      Fedor is capable of taking Anderson down – he’s a stronger grappler than Hendo because of his size, he moves just as fast as Anderson…. he’s a HW that moves like a MW.

      Anderson get whipped in round two by Fedor who either subbs him or GNP’s him silly….

  10. Banned2 says:

    no logic? so your so blind by the fedor hype that you don’t see he is a brawler? his foot work is weak his head movement is weak and does he ever throw a jab? he has power with fast hands but he wings his punches. even an amateur boxer would knock him out. he honestly had some trouble with Rogers. who IMO is mediocre. my god I can’t wait until he fights a top 5 fighter or even a top 10. he isn’t half as good a she is made out to be. and for people to not know what I’m saying you must be new to mma or something. I just don’t get it. why hug his nuts? why?

    • MMAKansas says:

      Banned2 – This isn’t boxing, and obviously he, (Fedor) didn’t need to dance around and bob and weave like a boxer to beat his opponent.

      Andre Arlovski had better head movement than Fedor, and he couldn’t hang with the Russian fighter.

      I am not new to MMA – obviously you haven’t been around a lot.

      Work on your grammer, your poor Engrish is making me dizzy having to read that garbage you call blogging. –

      Fedor is cold, calculated, and he’s a winner. He would take ANY boxer to the mat and kill him down there. THIS IS MMA KID, WAKEY WAKEY!

    • bvrasp says:

      Banned, i dont think Anderson Silva would even be able to hurt Fedor, kind of hard to win a fight when you cant hurt the other guy, unless you mean that he will dance around and win on points. Seriously, Fedor would throw him around like a rag doll in my opinion, he doesnt have the strength to handle someone like Fedor.

      I dont agree about the weak footwork, he may not dance around like pretty boy floyd but he is VERY adept at getting in and out when he needs to. He is VERY fast for a HW, he is VERY strong for his weight and his chin and recovery is second to NONE.

      About the Jab, not everyone uses the jab in MMA even though its a great weapon in boxing. Theres alot of fighters who are actually against using the jab because its more of a setup punch rather than an effective strike. Bas Rutten for example never uses the jab as he explained in one of his instructional videos, why throw a jab when you can throw a straight? that extra speed sacrifices alot of power. So you might land the jab more often but it may be completely ineffective in terms of damaging the other guy. If were talking about boxing then ya, the jab is invaluable because its all about toching the other guy more times, not to knock him out or hurt him.

      Thats why if you noticed Fedor uses a squared up stance so he can throw either hand with equal speed or power. Plus it helps when defending the takedown, shooting for your own takedown, etc. The fact that Fedor isnt a conventional fighter is part of what makes him so dangerous and unpredictable in the standup.

      OH about the amateur boxer knocking him out, i disagree, the boxer would get armbarred, oh you meant in a boxing match, well Fedors not a boxer, im sure he would lose at tennis, figure skating, etc.. hes an MMA fighter and the best one there ever was, possibly the best there will ever be, but time will tell on that one.

  11. Banned2 says:

    my grammer? I didn’t know i was being graded. “obviously you haven’t been around a lot” lol. my grammer? don’t read or respond to my garbage kid. as far as Anderson not being big or strong enough ask Franklin about that. and didn’t Fedor struggle just a little bit against Lindland? and the boxer thing yes fedor would submit him. I was speaking of a stand up battle. and questioning how long I’ve been watching mma. I actually started day one with the ufc in 93 I ordered the first one live. since then I have spread out into Pride and bodog fight and ifl and kotk and all the other trash out there. Its funny how everyone on here questions me. whos in 1st place with the camp this season? and last season I came in 3rd even though I missed my picks for an entire event.
    everyone has their own opinion some make good points and some verbally lash out like retards. why not try to make your point like an adult. I know I’ve been guilty of it but I never really got angry I actually laugh the whole time.

    • bvrasp says:

      Banned, im a huge Franklin fan as you probably know, but i wouldnt compare a MW Rich Franklin with Fedor. Franklin has never been known as a guy who can take punishment, while Fedor is definately known for that, almost to an inhuman extent. Its just my opinion again, but i dont think he could hurt Fedor.

      You mentioned Lindland, how much trouble did Fedor really have? sure he had some trouble, until he submitted him in the first round. With Arlovski he had some trouble, until he knocked him out in the 1st round. Its like people are saying the fact that Fedor didnt crush them in the first 10 seconds takes away from his performance lol this sht aint easy bro.

      Rogers is actually the first person to get out of the 1st round against Fedor in the past 3 years.

      LETS GET REAL NOW, enough about Anderson Silva and guys who would have no chance against Fedor, lets talk about a legitimate threat, Brock Lesnar. The only guys who are a threat to Fedor are guys who are HUGE because theyre a threat to ANYONE in the world with that big KO power. You think Brock has better standup than Fedor? i dont.. he would get KOed on the feet ala Rogers, Arlovski, Sylvia, etc.. The real threat that Brock brings to the table is the takedown.

      Personally i dont think Fedor can stop that Brock takedown were talking about one of the most dominant wrestlers of all time with a record of 106-5. Just like you i would love to see that fight happen because im curious as to what tactics Fedor would use against Brock. Hes handled wrestlers in the past, but nobody with the size, strength and tecnique that Brock brings to the table.

  12. Banned2 says:

    I hope Brock wouldn’t stand in front of Fedor and trade. His best bet is the take down and ground and pound and he better watch out and defend the submission. Brocks a monster no question about that. he needs more experience before he fights Fedor IMO. I wish Brock would go to a legit mma camp and soak up as muck knowledge as possible. I’m not saying fedor isn’t good I just don’t think he is as great as people make him out to be. Yes currently he should be ranked number 1 heavy weight but not #1 pfp. he has holes and the right style and fighter will beat him. I’m looking forward to seeing who can do it. in the past I would say Big Nog came the closest. Joe Rogan thinks overreem will be the one. I don’t think so but he is probably the best strikeforce has to offer.

    • MMAKansas says:

      @BV

      I agree with your assessments all around man. A blind person could see that Fedor is the best right now and that none of the UFC guys would take him.

      His record speaks for itself, he can handle himself against a MUCH LARGER opponent.

      Matter of fact, now I know some of you may say this is unrealistic because of the size difference, Fedor being so small compared and all, but I actually think he’s good enough to conquer Banned2′s mouth… seriously, I know his mouth is enormous, it’s bigger than Lesnar or Rogers.. or both of them combined, but I would bet on Fedor in that fight too.

  13. R.J. St.Coix says:

    i dont know how anyone can say Fedor and hype in the same sentence, maybe if he was 4 or 5 fights in but i think he has proven hes beyond just hype. Fedor is as good as people say he is, everyone who was supposed to be the guy to end the “hype” got smashed. he beat a prime CroCop on his feet and a prime Nog on the ground, his last three fights he brutally KOed three dangerous strikers, he submitted a top notch wrestler in Lindland, how many more times can the guy prove himself before the haters quit trying to find a reason to discredit him. when someone else can make the claims Fedor does (beaten most of the top heavies in the game, ridiculous win streak, ect.) then people can say hes nothing special, till then the haters have a very weak argument.

    • MMAKansas says:

      @RJ

      My point exactly…. people wait until your Randy Couture at 47 and you get an “L” on your record for once in a decade, and they say you just sucked… lolz … Fedor is as good as he is portrayed as… that’s why D. White is always so passionately furious… he made the same comments about Randy Couture being better, now it’s Brock… lolz haters…

    • bvrasp says:

      About Fedor again, hes just the man, theres no argument to the contrary. If you never visited MMA sites and didnt hear about the hype or the mythical stuff and you just watched his fights, there is no denying his skill, strength, heart, etc, etc…

  14. bvrasp says:

    This is what Brock has done so far.

    Against Mir he showed his overpowering takedown and his quick scrambles on the ground. He also showed his inexperience with his little hammer fists and his lack of sub defense.

    Against Herring, he had learned some safe wrestling positions and was able to neutralize Herring while landing some of his own shots. Huge difference in performance after a little MMA instruction.

    Against Randy, now hes been working on his striking making him even more dangerous, adding that to his unstoppable takedowns and position control on the ground.

    Mir 2, all he had to worry about was submissions from Mir, so his team developed the wrist control strategy which stopped Mir from even being able to setup a sub, let alone attempt one. Mir knows how to escape wrist control, but the amount of power and weight he posted on him, it was like having wrist control on a child he couldnt escape it and got beat up.

    So what new tricks has he learned now?? this guy is getting more and more dangerous all the time, he is a scary dude. Besides being a physical specimen and a talented wrestler, hes also able to learn quickly and execute a gameplan. Seriously guys, theres only 2 things we havent seen yet. Brock getting hit with a big shot from a big guy (like Carwin) and Brock being put on his back.

    • MMAKansas says:

      3 BV – we haven’t seen Brock versus a Machine .. that is Fedor-

      • bvrasp says:

        lol true Kansas, but this is the riddle that Fedor and his team will have to solve if he ever (he wont) fights Brock.

        I could see Fedor connecting on Brocks chin, i could see Fedor exploding after a takedown and slapping on a fast armbar, i could see Fedor working a heel hook, switching to the toe hold and quickly rolling to a kneebar and tapping brock out.

        I definately see Fedor winning the fight, but Brock is the #1 challenger to Fedor.

        Ubereem is a close second but whats interesting is that fight will actually happen.. so..

        • MMAKansas says:

          Steroideem vs Fedor… eh.. Shogun already beat that guy twice… not much of a fight to me.. I don’t see the challenge.. except that Overeem is all roided to the roof so he has insane strength..

        • R.J. St.Coix says:

          i dont think Overeem can beat Fedor, he doesnt do anything well enough to say hes got the clear advantage in an one category. as far as Brock goes the ONLY way i see him beating Fedor is to lay’n'pray because anything else would have him in trouble. none of the KO artists were able to catch Fedor with anything significant enough to get him in trouble, even when Fujita rocked him the threat lasted a split second and on the ground unless your playing it VERY safe Fedor will find that opening and get to a better position or snag the submission. i just dont see where Brock can take the fight to win without exposing holes in his own game. of course this all opinion and speculation, for all we know Brock could kill Fedor with ease but on paper its very unlikely.

  15. Banned2 says:

    Fedor must have big balls. because all you guys have room to dangle from them. My god yes Fedor is good but no body is unbeatable. duh! so basically your going to cozy up to his sack until Brock destroys him. Then you will say **** like Brock couldn’t have done that at Fedors prime. duh. and what the hell is kans-*** talking about Randy at 47 losing once a decade? he’s 46 by the way. and have you seen his record? he loses all the time. and your lame joke about Fedor vs my mouth. how about My **** vs your mouth. ***. Just because I don’t suck at Fedors *** doesn’t make me the enemy. what I’m wrong because I’m not in love with him? I like watching him fight hes good at what he does. is he perfect? no! by the way one of his fights with Big Nog was a no contest that by ufc rules would have been a win for Nog. dr. stoppage do to cut from Fedor head butting Nog. and the other fights with Nog went to close decision. Its funny to call someone a hater because their not *** for a fighter. LOL. man I’m sick of this. Fedor beats some big street fighting black guy who isn’t even top 10 and all the Fedor **** ride this wave of hype. get over it. save it for when and if he ever wins the ufc title. damn!

    • MMAKansas says:

      @banned2

      Haha.. your funny dude. Seriously, you can keep the geigh homoz talk to yourself, seem to be stuck on male “parts” in your entire conversation.

      Fedors the best, you implied that, so arguments is done.. moot point kiddo.

  16. richard says:

    talking about being over someone im over shields the guy was horrible and to even almost get choked out JEEEEEEZ.i gained a ton of respect for miller.

  17. Banned2 says:

    by the way they censored all the so called male parts you speak of. one of which was you suckling on Fedors teet. and thats a female body part. all though its on Fedor so its a man boob. so not sure if that would be a man part or a woman part on a man. Why you keep calling me a kid or kiddo I can’t grasp. I’m 37 year old dad with a 15 year old daughter. I actually have a job with Pfizer for 12 years that I should be doing right now but instead I’m arguing with some kid from kansass who lives in his parents basement. We can all agree on Fedor without performing fellatio on him. I still say Brock will kill him by the time they fight.

    • MMAKansas says:

      @Banned2

      You said “We can all agree on Fedor”. Good.

      So why are you acting like a kid if your so old? Hanging out with your 15 year old daughter and her friends a bit too much? Or are you fantasizing that you HAVE a 15 year old daughter?

      Fellatio? 15 year old daughter? Drug company? Sucking man teet?

      C’mon Banned, we all can see where you are going with this; a 37 year old man, that works at a drug company, and has the grammar of a 3rd grader. Amazing –

      Stick to MMA man, at least you suck at that.

  18. Banned2 says:

    kansass:
    Obviously you don’t know what its like to have a teenage kid. they don’t want their parents hanging around them. grammar of a 3rd grader? me? check your previous post jack ace. what do you do for a living? could it be serve me fries? how much $ do you bring home? could it be none? I’m not sure what your trying to imply about having a 15 year old daughter but if I was you I would watch my step. who sucks at mma? me? LOL. how are you doing with your picks? your weak. your post are weak. your come backs are weak. give it up phag. your a dumb ace. maybe you should troll on sherdog ya white belt.

  19. MMAKansas says:

    @banned2 –

    Your rhetoric speaks for itself. I don’t need to be witty, with posts like your most recent, all of mine are validated.

  20. Banned2 says:

    you don’t need to be witty or your unable to be? I’ll give ya until tomorrow to come back with something worth while. until then screw you guys I’m go’in home.

  21. bvrasp says:

    Banned, seriously man if we were talking about Houston Alexander or Kimbo then it would be hype, then it would be nuthugging because those guys havent done anything to warrant the kind of praise people have for Fedor. The fact is, he ISNT Kimbo, hes the best and most dominant HW fighter in MMA history, true or not true? thats a fact.

    You keep saying Brock this, Brock that, talking about a guy whos 3-1 in the UFC, so are YOU nuthugging? Talking about Fedor wont be #1 until he beats Brock although he was #1 while Brock was having fake fights flexing for the Brock-a-maniacs. If Fedor DID beat Brock, what would you say then? oh he has to beat Carwin or Overeem or WHOEVER. Fedor can never be #1 in your eyes because your just hating man, thats all there is to it.

    Brocks already been SUBMITTED within 5 fights, Fedor has never been stopped. Brock could string together another 26 wins without dropping one (which he wont ill bet you anything on that) and he would still not equal what Fedor has accomplished because he already cried uncle once.

    Were talking about the best fighter of all time, your talking about a roided out freak whos basically a noob in the sport. Whos really the hypester man? whos really the nuthugger?

  22. bvrasp says:

    Fedor also gives up 50-60 pounds to his opponents and wins because of his skill and intelligence, Brock wins because of what? oh ya size.

    I wonder what would happen if Brock fought someone who was 350.. when he doesnt have the massive size and strength advantage. Would Brock be dancing around getting in and out tagging the guy or would he bullrush in and hit a brick wall.

    Thats difference between a fighter and a slab of meat who lays on top of people.

    • MMAKansas says:

      @BV – Bro your arguing with a person to whom logic doesn’t apply, you can state the facts, and have 6.4 billion other people agree with you, but Banned2 is RIGHT no matter what the topic is, especially if it’s about Brock and Fedor.

      When did this guy start posting on MMAHQ? We should have him write articles for Doc, it’d be hillarious!

      • bvrasp says:

        i guess your right Kansas, most of the points i make just get ignored because really.. how can you argue facts? the truth is the truth.

        Its like were trying to explain why Jordan was the best ever to a guy who hates Jordan. His argument isnt even Kobe or Lebron is better, hes saying like Sam Cassell or something lol.

        Theres no point arguing when dude doesnt even make a point, just says blah your nuthuggers, mma noobs, little kids, etc..

        The cliche things people say when theyre out of ideas. Ill be watching Dream or something at like 5am and guys are going at it calling each other mma noobs. Guess what, when your up at 5am watching fights your not a noob lol.

        • MMAKansas says:

          @BV

          Ahhhh….. feels like Richard and Dennis back in the day; or how about SEZ. Remember THAT guy?! lolz

  23. bvrasp says:

    Kansas, what you think about Wand vs Sexyama? will be great to see Wand at 185 instead of fighting these huge guys all the time. He used to be able to give up that much weight and still destroy guys, but time has caught up with him.

    That should be a good fight assuming **** doesnt cheat lik ein his fight with Saku.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6q_wVodzFU&feature=player_embedded

    • MMAKansas says:

      I think that Wand is at the end of his career. He sounds like he is preparing for retirement honestly.

      His whole and entire focus has been on building everything around his legacy lately, but the surgery give me SOME reassurance that he is at least going to make a run at 185.

      Akiyama is a small fighter compared to most, but Wand is only 5ft 11 himself, so about even there. Wands breathing has been a MAJOR issue for him in his past bouts, and he is gunshy from the KO’s he received at the end of his Pride run, which is why he hesistates to pull the trigger like before, he felt invincible at one point in his career and that is what helped him string together a 5 year run in Pride.

      No longer invincible, considerably older for a “mad dog” approach which requires a LOT of cardio, and kids to think about, I think Wand is going to drop a decision to Akiyama on this one personally. However, if he can keep standing, we may see Wandy flash back to his old self in this fight, he IS fighting on the international scene, which I think helps him, and he is fighting an asian fighter, which also plays into his favor as he’s NEVER dropped a major fight against an asian fighter.

      The confidence and breathing ability could propel him to a win, but what comes after that win? Who’s next for him?

      • bvrasp says:

        I dunno man, hes taken alot of damage but he IS still only 33, i think if Saku can still do it, then Wand can still do it and people will always want to see it.

        I still think that Wand is dangerous in the opening round, hes still tough as nails (though his jaw is obviously weakened now) and he still has a ferocious killer instinct (less than before but still more than most fighters out there).

        Ill be looking for Wand to win this fight by KO in the 1st, i know he can do it man, he just has to pull the trigger. He cant fight like a boxer with those short arms, he has to go for broke and rely on what carried him to victory for 5 years. Knock him out! or be Knocked out! no dancing, humping, etc.. hes still a warrior and one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC, there are fewer and fewer of them all the time, especially now that Neers gone.

        After this, i would like to see Wand take on Kang, depending on what happens with his fight against Bisping this weekend.

        • MMAKansas says:

          @BV –

          Oh man don’t get me wrong, I agree totally, and not because I can’t think on my feet, yeah, I want Wand to do what he used to do, go for broke and KO Akiyama, absolutely, can he beat Akiyama? YES! HECK YES! Will he? That’s all in his hands.

          This fight is Wands to win or lose, and this is as close to a give me as the UFC will EVER give Wanderlei Silva.

          War Wand all the way! I hope to see Shogun fighting Chida on the SAME CARD – that would be awesome, don’t think the timing would work out but it would be cool if it did.

  24. MMAKansas says:

    I would like to see Wand fight Bisping if he wins against Akiyama, then perhaps a rematch with Belfort.

    • bvrasp says:

      haha! oh man i would love to see Wand fight Bisping, he can run but he cant hide! Wand would catch him man and force him to exchange and Knock him out brutally like Hendo did. Maybe not with one punch but i could see him dropping Bisping and pouncing on him like he did to Jardine.

        man i would love right now to see Wanderlei fight someone he could hunt and kill like Bisping, like watching Animal Planet…. “the lion has spotted the gazelle, he pounces and with flurry of furious swipes the gazelle is no more” lol.

          Animal Planet! Hahahaha! That’s exactly what it would be! Perfect! Hey if the UFC wants ratings, just have them stick Wand in the cage with the likes of Bisping, Quarry, Leben, or Kang.

          Guys, the perfect opponent to open back up the Japanese market, newly to the UFC of course would be Wanderlei Silva Vs ….. Jorge Rivera. Wand would kill him and it would be a bloody slugfest!

          The Japanese would love to see their old ICON Wandy back in there killing lesser men! ;)

    well at least you guys had the good sense to go from talking about g*y things to talking about Sexyama, the sexiest man in MMA lmao. for real though its a hard to pick in this one Akiyama is a hell of a fighter (and a sharp dresser) and Wand hasnt been Wand for a little while now, but there is no way my man crush for Wanderlei lets me pick the other guy EVER! LOL so i got all my fruit filling out in this one post so back to being MANLY MAN for the rest of the year LOL.
