I agree completely with Wand, the judges wrong.
Wand won that fight !

Damn right.
His fans lose with him when he loses and win with him when he wins. Wandy’s fan base is probably one of the most authentic in MMA.

The Liddell bandwagon fell apart with loses, but Wandy’s fans still scream beside their beast.

Rich won that fight imo but not 30-27, more like 29-28. still love wandy tho !

TeaBag Says, in 7-4-2009 at 16:24:07 from 68.64.224.148

Translation PLZ. Anyway wandy has some of the bjj in the world he should try and use it more often instead of trying to stand and trade like gorge Grugel. I hope he does drop down this way we could see him agianst GSP! WAR Wandy!

Wanderlei is a fighting legend!

i just hope silva has an easier time making weight when he finally goes to 185..if that fight was at 205 he woulda never have gassed the way he did

Wandy is good guy, he won!!

Moe Says, in 7-4-2009 at 19:25:28 from 24.46.155.79

You got to respect this guy. He gives 110 percent every fight. I like that he makes the effort to speak English. Shows that he respects The American MMA fan. He’s a class act, not like most Brazilian fighters. Full of themselves.

i was there….the fans loves wandy!!! he knows what the people want to see and he loves it, when they scream his name. i tought, that he wins this fight….judges are bitches!

grizz Says, in 7-4-2009 at 20:26:02 from 72.83.100.107

the beginning of the end for wondergay silva!

ricci Says, in 7-4-2009 at 21:12:30 from 72.189.37.113

Yes Wanderlei you did’nt lose…it was a tie.
Still need to come back to the level of performance when you knocked Rampage Jackson two times. You can’t just Stand and trade….where’s your jiujitsu or your muaytai?

Pink Ferret Says, in 7-4-2009 at 22:54:41 from 72.129.56.76

Is it Wandy fighting Gina Carano next or is that some other dude?

elbetoflaco Says, in 7-4-2009 at 22:56:07 from 67.101.111.188

I like this guy very much.. It seems like all of his thoughts are verbally expressed. He thinks out loud and doesn’t hold back. He still has it…

Niv Says, in 7-5-2009 at 00:01:42 from 174.1.55.243

ricci, I totally agree. Since his last 3 or 4 fights in Pride, Wandy has become one dimensional and it’s cost him big time.

I watch those old Pride fights and he was like a buzz saw, he’d throw high kicks, low kicks, punches, knees, if he clinched he had the simplest yet effective take down with the leg trips; once he was on top it was game over he just destroyed fighters from the mount.

I miss seeing that fighter, he’s still one of my all time favourites but it pains me to see this guy who is only a shadow of his former self. Either way when Wandy fights he’s my guy.

PinkFerret Says, in 7-5-2009 at 00:13:34 from 75.157.47.68

I never thought for a second that they would raise Wandy’s hand at the end of fight. Wandy did not win that fight.

ballsdeeper Says, in 7-5-2009 at 00:24:04 from 99.152.23.179

ricci is exactly right…he always won because of his versatility, never by boxing alone!!!

Belair Says, in 7-5-2009 at 04:27:30 from 75.80.168.167

Shut Up! You talk too much.

i no name Says, in 7-5-2009 at 07:20:51 from 76.93.220.121

anyone else notice that wandy snarls when he breathes. must be that snorkel training thing he does.

Cooler Says, in 7-5-2009 at 07:23:20 from 81.34.168.50

silva looks old

El Tabasco Says, in 7-5-2009 at 23:44:43 from 189.79.209.106

old or not, finished or not, you gotta love this guy… “for me, no matter”

YB3000 Says, in 7-6-2009 at 02:54:36 from 213.113.127.224

Wanderlei is too beat up. He’s heart still wants to fight but the body can’t follow on that level.

awesomeresistancetothesunGERBIL Says, in 7-6-2009 at 17:11:31 from 99.18.46.202

I’m disappoint.
