Wanderlei Silva Plans on 2013 Return, Possibly At 205 | UFC NEWS
“I want to either fight a catchweight bout at 198 pounds or at light heavyweight. At middleweight, I’m very hungry (laughs). Right now, I’m doing weight training and some shadow boxing. I’m kind of on vacation now, paying attention to the family, but next year the Wand is back.”
“Actually, anyone they offer is good for me. I’ll face whomever the UFC wants.”
MMA fan favorite, Wanderlei Silva, recently told sherdog.com what his plans for the future are. is putting the middleweight division behind him the best thing for the aging champion?

I d love to see WAnderlei fight at 205 like in pride. He was big, muscular and more at his weight class
This time he won’t be juiced to the gills tho.
Dude his frame looks exactly the same smaller because of weight cutting.Its his genetics just because you’re apparently a fatass with no muscle doesnt mean everyone that has a muscular frame is on the juice.Not everyone is a lazy fatass.God forbid someone who was born with good genetics and fights for a living look liek that anymore because here come the trolls oh juice this juice that
Ppl think he is Bad… He is Not Bad he just get Old & 4 some Fighters the Time to stop comes in early 30… So i Would Love to See 1 more Good Run b4 he stop & be Save… I Love him as a Fighter & old School Guy / Fighter… He bring it evrey Time & he have pride & proud he can be proud & so can wie watching hes Fights..! What ppl Don’t understand is why he wants to come back at 205…. I’ll Tell ya… Its bc he is coming 4 Sonnen to KO him in the Clinch Real BAD…!! ;-p
Watching him fight is amazing, and i would love to see him again, he has been in some of the best fights ive ever seen. but his jaw is gone now man, i dont know if it can take much more lol
Wandy is a legend, but if he wants a 205 fight, he will need it to be a fighter down the pecking order. Apart from Forest, ranked about 8, I couldn’t see him beating anyone in the top 10.
don’t know why people were calling him to retire after the second franklin fight… he did a good job considering it was against heavy handed 185′er that resulted in a 5 round decision. I think they should have patrick cote fight Wanderlei.
**** yeah dick Diaz… I wit u… Love the guy… He is a ****en bulldog…
Wand is burnt toast. I’ll still watch though.
