Wanderlei Silva on fight with Brian Stann: "Someone will get the knockout, and I hope it's me."

This is going to brutal, not looking forward to this fight at all. I don't wanna see Silva get KO again. IF Silva get's KO should he retire?

I know some people want to him retire, but he has shown to still have it after all he did finish Cung Le

I love Wand, but it'll be him getting ko'd. Can't see him winning this one.

Hope Wandy doesn't get KO'd but I think it will most likely happen. Stann is a good counter striker and has power in his hands. Wandy is a brawler which plays perfectly into Stann's counter striking game. But I'm sure Wandy will know better than to go out there and swing wildly.

Should be an awesome fight. Both are great guys and exciting fighters.

Might as well just give Stan KOTN now.

All you guys said this same **** when he fought Le.

You have to remember that Wanderlei is still a great MMA fighter and has better skills than Stann does.

Silva FTW.

Wand finally getting to fight in Japan I guarantee is going to energise him through training camp, and seeing as he's moving back to lhw he's probably going to be JACKED. Considering his opponent Stann is a middleweight who has no intentions of staying or even moving to lhw, wanderlei should have the size advantage for a change in the ufc.

Plus tbh I think wanderlei is more skilled then Brian, I might go as far as to say that Brian only stands a punchers chance.

This!

I feel it's wanderlei's fight to lose if he doesn't get wild and keeps his hands up he can outstrike Stann.

Damn I want Wandy to put a beating on him... And my heart would go all-a-breakly if he got K.O'ed......

Come on Wandy.. Bring back the fear in fighters eyes when they stand across the ring from you(I miss Pride
:(

WAR AXE MURDERER! X(

People shouldn't count out The Axe Murderer. This is a good fight for him stylistically if he decides to fight smart and pick his shots. I definitely see someone getting knocked out in this fight and I hope it isn't Silva. WAR WANDERLEI!!!

Stann used to be a LHW and had a better UFC record than Wand as a LHW, he's 3 inches taller and has a reach advantage, Silva wont have a size advantage. Also Stann knocks people out with straight punches whilst Silva's specialty is hooks which means he has to walk through Stanns shots to get close enough to land his shorter hooks. This is an awful fight for Silva
