Wanderlei Talks Retirement & What An Easy Target Vitor Is
By Jamie McAllister
Wanderlei Silva in an interview with SporTV.com
Wanderlei comments on retirement.
“How can I say it? I am in a situation… people want to see a show. I thought that I would do my last fight in Japan but then Germany, Australia and other countries came in asking me to make the final fight in their country,”
“I am feeling really good. I have to repeat what I said before my latest fight: only my performance can tell me if I can continue or not. Nobody who knocks Belfort out [then goes and] retires!”
Wanderlei also comments on Belfort who he is coaching beside on TUF Brazil.
“Actually, the guy lives in his own world. Everyone has their own viewpoint of course, he has his and it is much different from mine. And it opens a big opportunity to fool him around,”
“He is comedy. He thinks of himself, ‘I am a good looking and admired guy and everybody flatters me’ … when guys realize [he thinks like this] they are like ‘Oh my God!’”

War Wandy!
I hope he KO’s Feetor(/watch?v=-jWSOyw9TZU) but I think that chance is very slim. Feetor will probably use his signature “punch-to-the-back-of-the-head” to retire Wandy
Feetor? Thats was ****ing retarded along with the rest of what you said.
they call him that because his breath still smells like Anderson’s foot.
LMAO! this is to ****in funny!xD!
****ING WIN!!!!! LMFAO still smelling like Anderson’s foot huh haha
Whatever your views, use of the r-word is repugnant.
Retarded….really?
Desensitize yourself….. it is a ****ing word.
Shit **** ass retarded cocksucker buttsex gay idiot ****tard – WORDS
Not a big deal.
Lenny Bruce.
Phail sonnen makes sense, alistair overroids makes sense, vitor feetor was the dumbest thing ive ever seen.
Do battle Wanderlei… do battle!
hes gonna use his super size cup to intimidate Vitor, lol
Vitor would beat him silly in their prime. Wanderlei’s probably got it this time tho
Vitor did beat him in his prime, he beat him in seconds actually
i don’t see how u can say that
This guy here obviously doesn’t know much about MMA.
Yeah all I was saying is that if this particular fight was in their prime Belfort would win. You ****ing test tube babies.
War your momma!!!!!
You guys know vitor has beat him b4 right
are you new to mma? “dont fight, theres no point, that guy already beat you” yeah i bet thats what Chuck was thinking when he fought Randy in their second fight, you are a dumb ass
Yeah vitor knocked you out with the quickness already wanderlei… Do you really want to get beat up that fast again?
Wand is just talking trash, he can try to turn this into a pride style brawl but unlike Chris Leb or even rampage… Vitor doest throw wild punches. They are straight and faster then anyones in the UFC. As for power, as his latest victims if he hits hard or go watch what one straight left did to lindland. So wand can talk, but fact is he was better when he lost and Vitor is actually a better fighter now. Vitor via round 1 TKO(first exchange).
Took the words from right out of my mouth!
Cung Le dropped Wanderlei in the opening round. Belfort’s striking is way ahead of Le’s. This could get ugly for Wanderlei.
I disagree… Vitor may have better hands but over-all Cung’s striking is better when you take into cosideration the kicks that are involved with striking… Cung Le possesses some of the best if not the best kicks in MMA.
I agree with that. Cung is one of my favorite fighters. His kicks are exceptional but his punches are average unfortunately. If his punches were as good as his kicks he could be top 10 in UFC mw division. Pat Barry has some sick kicks too.
all vitor needs is his punches because they’re going to feel like kicks when he’s beating the living shit out of wand.
I predict first round sleepage wanderlei snooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiinnng
Axe murderer was greatest but I c vitor takin this one
im sure you had a typo, allow me to correct you- ” Axe murderer IS greatest but I c vitor takin this one” :]
no
There is like no reason to think Wandy can win this fight…Love the guy, but… hes getting knocked out
Vitor will make him eat his words.
