Thank you Bruno ![]()
Wanderlei Silva one.
Honestly one of the best fights I’ve ever seen
Sweet Fight…Team JESUS wins AGAIN!!!
what a great fight, and a great win for wand, that guy is so awesome
This was just awesome from beginning to end. Props to both Wanderlei and Stann! I think they deserved an extra bonus just for making an o.k. but forgettable card into one nobody will forget for a really long time!
Great fight, of course. But I’m surprised Stann fought stupid, he didn’t need to lose, he just needed to be smart. Not taking anything away, Wanderlei is a Legend.
Hmmm
Surprise. Silva came to fight.
I said before Silva can KO any guy…I just didn’t thought he would brawl with Stann,absorb the shot and KO him after and pretty long brawl.
shots*
Awesome win for Wandy back in japan!
Awesome fight and awesome job by Wandy. This was just awesome to watch BUT OMG I WISH IT WASNT JON ANIK AND KENFLO CALLING THIS FIGHT. Im sorry but it just kills the fight for me. I would have LOVED to have Rogan call this fight. People may hate how biased he can be or how crazy he gets sometimes but it wouldve made this fight so much better imo.
Did wandy get a jaw transplant. He took quite a few hard shots and still came off with the KO. Good for him. And doing it back in japan of all places.
A lot of guys here said that nobody cares about this fight! But fight like this save this sport and fighters like those guys that come to fight have my respect!! Great fight!! True Fighters!!
The few …the proud…the unconscious…WAR Wanderlei!!! Awesome fight!!!
@Danby
Wandy wasn’t cutting weight.It helps alot to not get dehydrated a little more then 24 hours before a fight and have your brain fluids evaporate when you cut 30 pounds.
JON ANIK, no offense but he does not have the charisma and martial arts fundamental knowledge and familiarity ..MMA is not his sport, he is in kindergarden next to JROGAN ,etc,,
maybe Stann would win if he starved Silva’s family for ten years, knocked out their communications, hospital and sewage treatment plant, carpet bombed them to the stone age and then used a sniper rifle. Hoorah!
gotta love Wanderlei! such a warrior!
The Axe Murder is back!! He destroyed his last two opponents(Top guys) and can take shots now!!!
Wow what a fight!! I loved every moment of this one. From Wandy coming out to a home welcoming from the Japanese fans, to the expression of happiness and supremacy portrayed by Wandy, to the slugfest by both warriors, and finally for Wandy to win(KO) back in his home and celebrate that Champion way we Wandy fans all know so much!!! Priceless!!!! I confess I even had a tear building up in the corner of my eye. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
@TheKungFuLowKick I guess so. I don’t really know much about the mechanics of a KO. All i know is most people don’t get that jaw back, though i think arloski may actually be getting his back slowly too.
hands down, FIGHT OF THE YEAR.
that was seriously a damn good A fight lmao… Man props to both of them … In all fairness thats what a good fight loks like.. Not trying to duck although you get caught you get back in and YOU FIGHT!!!
Glad these fights were posted in a format I could see on my iPad. Great job wanderlei and Bruno!!
briann stann did not defeat the legend, however he has become a legend. there are pound for pound best, and there are legends…
wanderlei, shogun, hendo, stann are legends
anderson silva is the genious
jon jones is gifted
no disrespect to other fighters, as soon as you step inside the octagon you are a champion.
wandy vs hendo for the end of the year…
Great Fight! Great win! Wand’s chin isn’t what it used to be, I thought Stann was going to KO him like Leben did, but Wand stayed in there… Wand still has some power in those hands. Great KO for Wand… and it was in Japan too. Would have been very anti-climactic had he been KO’d… This was the perfect way for him to win.
love wandy he deserved the win i hope he retires this way so that we can remember him like the fearless warrior the man who was most feared for bieng a brawler
@ konrad – so true. even though rogans full of s*** sometimes, him and goofyass goldie cant be replaced
Wanderlei is revived in Japan
Wow! Hats off to both tough guys – I honestly didn’t think Silva had this kind of performance left in him. What a legend! Stann is tough but wow what a performance by Silva.
Great fight! a little slippy but my god what a flash of magic at the end by Wandy…
War bald Cristiane Cyborg!!
Yeah Wand needs to stick at Light Heavy, he will never be a title contender but he won’t get KO’d left and right anymore without being drained at middleweight. Vintage Wanderlei.
wandy looked good pride style hell yeah
heck yea.
Big respect for both fighters.
Without question the exact fight I hope to see everytime I click ‘play’.
…and biggest respect to Bruno!
good for wanderlei, i would have liked to see him retire in Japan last night, would have been the right call and damn sure would have not complained. I don’t want to see Wandy turn into some novelty fighter… There are very few options for him at 205… I would honestly like to see a Dan Henderson rematch. I’m sure Rashad evans would probably want to fight him.
@konrad
I FEEL THE SAME WAY !!! jon anik doesnt know ANYTHING about mma ATALL he is forsure someone in the ufc’s son!! because hes an IDIOT
sick fight
fight of the year!!
Silva should retire now and go out on top. Great knockout, but Stann is hardly an elite fighter. Would hate to see him keep fighting and get KTFO by a douche like Rashad Evans.
Am I the only person who thinks that Florian sounds like Vince Vaughn?
