Man i can't beleive that thoses guys are so called professional fighters.
I got all the Pride DVD that are available right now at sherdog.com and i cant get true my head how many fighters, Sakuraba, Mezger, Yuki Kondo, and many more just bang with him.
This guy is a killing machine and quit hard to be taken down but they should at least try.
ya i saw that guy fight n real life, n damn he beast, but he's not really good but guess u dnt need 2b when u can a number hits n give even harder ones!
I liked his fights with Mark Hunt and Quintin Rampage the best. Silva is much better since he put on all that muscle. And who says you dont need to be strong to be a good fighter. :)
Wanderlai is my favorite fighter to watch. Sometimes i wonder if he doesn't have the same problem as Tyson in boxing. He is so vicious and amazing to watch. Now I'm no pu$$y, but I wouldn't ever step in the ring with someone like that.
ya mayb if i was taller i would cuz i love fightin big guys but chuck lydel is my goal right, probably wnt happen netime soon but one day i will have him
Good luck to you guys LOL.
Yeah Wandy is amazing. Loved the fight between him and Crocop
Silva is a legend he will probably be the best middle wieght for years to come

and FYI - he's not Bob Sapp, beating people because of a massive size advantage, he's a middleweight (205). the only time size is a serious advantage is when he fights a small middleweight. a small middleweight usually only gets a title shot because he's tougher than the big middleweight contenders.
i admit his strikes are a little wild, but he's proven over and over to be very effective. if you don't think his skills are good, but reality shows different, i would alter my analysis before i tried to alter reality.
MMA that is quit funny, yeah the only time he did lose was against Mark Hunt and Hunt was a lot bigger then Wandy.
i dont like watching him fight much, i wanna see him and crocop go at it again tho...fight could go anyway depends if crocop lands a kick or not
Wont happen, Wandy is in the light heavyweights and cro cop he wants Fedor so i dont see this fight happening right away.
I cant lie i would love to see a rematch between thoses 2 now that cro cop knows the ground game a bit better then in there first fight at Pride 20
yeah, size is a significant advantage, and hunt is huge. but you might want to research his record a little more, hunt is not his only loss.Quote:

He is a great fighter.
I agree that his striking techniques can be cleaned up a bit, but you know what..the man is getting the job done and I dont think anyone on this board has ever been a Pride camp, so whoever wants to say that wandi is not a good fighter.. STFU..
Amen to that LOL
