Thats a pretty cool piece. Silva is hard not to like.

good film

kb Says, in 12-24-2008 at 11:16:22 from 190.154.5.21

i hope he wins

yoyo Says, in 12-24-2008 at 11:45:26 from 142.161.77.146

that is the worst intro . but wanderlei will win via knock out second round

K3ViN Says, in 12-24-2008 at 12:41:02 from 96.224.236.8

Well put together. You really get the feel of what wanderlei is like. Seems unbelievable that some guys can be one way in the ring and completely different out of it

bank1 Says, in 12-24-2008 at 12:45:16 from 76.126.161.131

Wandy will finnish jackson

mma geo Says, in 12-24-2008 at 15:00:52 from 98.242.130.6

best fighter in and out the cage !!! great giuy ! my favorite! I hope he takes rampages head off and eats it for dinner that night!

Steamer Bean Says, in 12-24-2008 at 15:01:13 from 70.177.78.74

Looked like he was thumpin on Forests ass in training.

hldn1977 Says, in 12-24-2008 at 15:12:59 from 67.189.1.243

A nice insight into Silva and good to see him get more recognition. I think my favorite thing said about Silva was when Don Frye was talking on Pride: A Decade about how he first met Silva and walked over thinking they were going to fight in the parking lot because of what he had seen with Silva’s fighting style and the first thing Wandy did was offer him a stick of gum. War Silva!!!

Samski Says, in 12-24-2008 at 15:19:23 from 24.209.163.224

One of the best interviews, I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for posting

Nando_BR Says, in 12-24-2008 at 15:47:40 from 189.63.105.201

Wand is the best !

030988 Says, in 12-24-2008 at 17:19:50 from 72.177.204.13

I really want wanderlei to win, but I see jackson takiing it the distance. I hope im wrong, its just there are no knees to a downed fighter and silva just never changes things up…

jakelo Says, in 12-24-2008 at 17:38:25 from 88.171.239.67

i dont want to be his daughter’s boyfriend.

Josh Says, in 12-24-2008 at 19:45:25 from 72.199.101.29

This was on NBC?! Nice…

abcd123 Says, in 12-24-2008 at 19:58:15 from 71.204.188.218

in response to gay poster number 1

you know, the more that people call him a good guy, the more of a bad guy he is really because if he really was a good guy you wouldnt have to mention it over and over again. So the fact is that he is really a bad guy. Real good guys are like rich franklin. when mentioning franklin i doubt the phrase “good guy” is ever used because then it would be a case of pointing out the obvious.

beto Says, in 12-24-2008 at 21:38:06 from 68.164.236.24

He’s gonna whoop Rampage.. He actually has something to fight for, HIS FAMILY.. Not that Rampage doesn’t, but this guy really has morals and good qualities as a human being.. Whatever, GO SILVA!!!

woolslayer Says, in 12-25-2008 at 00:52:23 from 75.28.55.179

Wand the man is gonna wreck rampage, and make it 3-0 for the books. The iceman was a bad matchup for him stylistically, similar to how rampage is a bad matchup for chuck, and lastly, wandy is a bad matchup for rampage.

KidRockYa Says, in 12-25-2008 at 01:33:53 from 98.194.185.218

Wandi is a class act & always has been. He never talks a bunch of crap like Rampage, and thats why Wandi doesnt like Rampage.
Wanderlei is a nice guy trapped in a Fighters life, lol

Steamer Bean Says, in 12-25-2008 at 03:44:21 from 70.177.78.74

The tiger metaphor is a good one. I don’t care what anyone says, Wanderlei and Quinton both seem ominously quiet. There’s a storm comin.

Whisker Biscuit Says, in 12-25-2008 at 04:03:51 from 70.177.78.74

Wool, I’ve been waiting for someone to say it. But yeh, styles make match ups, these 3 have all fought each other, and if you weigh the outcomes in my eyes Wanderlei has gotten KO’d the least fighting each other which makes him the man coming into this match up. I don’t mean KO’d the the least by anyone but by the 3 men involved. Chuck beat him, but barely, and Rampage “wooped” his ass. So here we are full circle. If Rampage wins it’s pretty much over, he’s beaten them both. But if Wandy wins he’s only proven the obvious and owes Chuck a rematch in my opinion.

asdf Says, in 12-25-2008 at 10:18:26 from 89.172.227.165

“Wandi is a class act & always has been.”

no he hasnt

he was an arrogant prick back in PRIDE

he was on bad terms with almost every fighter other than his friends from chute box (fighting with rampage, mirko, coleman to name a few..)

now that he is in UFC and no longer a poster child for PRIDE he realises that that kind of behaviour doesnt pass anymore..

wcoastassassin Says, in 12-25-2008 at 16:18:37 from 76.22.44.24

To abcd123 they talk about him being a nice guy because he has an aggressive fighting style and he looks like a serial killer lol… Rich Franklin looks like Jim Carrey outside the ring and inside when he is fighting Anderson Silva. Would love to see Anderson move to 205 for another fight against Wanderlei. Would fly to vegas for that one!

dark-viking Says, in 12-25-2008 at 17:33:56 from 64.229.170.254

Vanderlei…………..no doubt that he will destroy “RAMPAGE”. Rampage was lucky with chuck any ways. I sympathize rampage and his blabby mouth…..it is what it is…

Vachousek Says, in 12-25-2008 at 18:24:54 from 88.103.180.237

Let´s go Wanderlei!! knockout him!

wow Says, in 12-25-2008 at 19:13:57 from 68.146.99.57

Id like to have that guy as a father, would be pretty safe having him around haha

adambomber Says, in 12-25-2008 at 22:38:05 from 99.148.198.146

he was lucky with chuck?no way he beat chuck back in the day too,but he ktfo chuck quickly this last time.

Rampage will win and then you all can shutup about Wandy

Roddong Says, in 12-26-2008 at 01:35:35 from 69.106.222.239

I am ssoooooo excited about this match up…

I probably will cry if Wanderlei looses…

Sounds gay I know but he has always been my favorite fighter. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a shit talker get his mouth busted up…(rampage)

By the way he did not beat Rampage with knees on the ground it was all standing my brotha…

and that is legal in the ufc! It will be interesting though, I am sure Rampage is training against the clinch and Wanderlei will have to change it up. scary, because Rampage throws hard straight punches and Wandy moves in with little to no head movement and he uses wild hooks, less straights. fuck im nervous…you got to do it for your family Wanerlei, vamos la cachorrao louco!!

henry Says, in 12-26-2008 at 03:03:12 from 71.204.188.218

rampage is a better overall man than wander silva. rampage by ko

l33t Says, in 12-26-2008 at 03:31:29 from 87.56.5.193

Did anyone notice how they conveniently cut away from all the fight clips just before wanderlei would use soccer kicks? Also, they didn’t show the ending to the jardine fight “Waanderlei won by ko in 36 seconds – but he still had time to do stuff we’re not allowed to show2

Also abcd123 – that’s a piss poor troll job.

I wasnt talking about being a sweetie to other fighters lol. Thats the mindset it took in Pride to move up. It wasnt near as civilized as UFC is today

thanks bruno happy holidays!

Go Wanderlei!

alvo69 Says, in 12-26-2008 at 19:16:45 from 38.115.155.173

I do love Wandy’s attitude, but Rampage-IF he’s WANTING it, will win this time…. we’ll see which Rampage shows up…. CAN’T WAIT!!

brunope Says, in 12-26-2008 at 23:30:43 from 206.116.3.19

page will open up a can of whoop ass on wandi! WAR RAMPAGE!!!

Niv Says, in 12-27-2008 at 02:25:21 from 70.68.183.85

abcd123 I love your logic. Saying a guy is a nice guy means he isn’t nice because you don’t need to say it if he was. Like saying the Pope is a Holy Man, well that’s obvious so if we say it he isn’t, or Rampage is a tough black guy, but if we say it that obviously must mean he’s white.

Thanks for the wonderful lesson on logic it really makes lots of sense.

bank1 Says, in 12-27-2008 at 04:51:08 from 76.126.161.131

Rampage sucks against kickboxers and thai fighters. Granted he won in K-1 but I got Wandy by murder.

jeremyemilio Says, in 12-27-2008 at 10:26:28 from 142.167.49.222

William Blake and Wanderlei Silva in the same vid? As an English lit PhD student, an ex high school English teacher and wrestling coach, and a huge MMA fan, I’m extremely impressed. “Tyger! Tyger!” indeed.

VegasMMA Says, in 12-27-2008 at 12:40:27 from 68.227.38.120

Bye, Bye, Jackson!

stfu ‘l33t’ like your favorite fighters don’t celebrate their victories. he jumped on the cage big deal. that’s not even that bad.

This is the most retarded post ever.

By this logic, Santa Claus is an asshole.

Does this logic hold for everything or just niceness?

If it DOES apply to other attributes, I guess Anderson Silva is the crappiest MMA fighter out there since everyone is always referring to him as a P4P contender, right?

If it DOESN’T apply to other things, why not?

I don’t know if Silva is a good guy or not and I kind of don’t care. Again, I don’t expect an intelligent reply because the original was so goddamn stupid.
