ThirstForBLOOD Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Watch his fights with Liddell, Franklin and Rampage (UFC 92). IMO, he could've won all of those fights if he stuck to his original Muay Thai dominate style from PRIDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the point. It's about the fighter. Some from that era have taken their game to whole new levels while others have faded It had nothing to do with pride or UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticKJ Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 well he has had knee issues for a long time now...maybe we will see the old style in his return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight_Club Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 well he has had knee issues for a long time now...maybe we will see the old style in his return... Yes you can tell he's banged up!!! I didn't see his last fight, but the last few fights I saw his movement wasn't that great, and he pretty much just threw punches.

TruckerDeluxe Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hoping his recovery goes well and really hopeful he gets his kicks back in action to balance out his attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsplint Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hoping his recovery goes well and really hopeful he gets his kicks back in action to balance out his attack. Since Wand joined the UFC his kicks have been non existent. Quite a shame. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerDeluxe Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 He has had nagging knee issues for some time now, and now that he has had it hopefully fixed we might get to see some of his old style come back too. Fingers crossed his knee reconstruction will go as planned. It would be nice to see his kicks come back for the UFC to see first hand (or foot should I say).

JJKid Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I thought he looked pretty good against Bisping, I have to think that being able to breath has to help him out lol. It's a shame that he couldn't put the stamp on Bisping, but Bisping is hard to KO, I mean Hendo hits like a truck, and that's the only dude to KO Bisping lol.

JJKid Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 So you think Wand utilises his kicks like he used to? Fack no. Although If I had to pick, I wish he would utilize the muay thai clinch more so than his kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambo91 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i still think wandy would put people in the clinch and knee them out if he got the chance .I can see a lot of people that fight him now training to defend against the clinch from him. Which makes it harder to get in tight and use his knees. Wandy has solid boxing. which he learn while in the army in brazil so i don't see a problem with wandy falling back on his hands im not sure which one he'd call his base but he is a well rounded striker who could still use the thai clinch if he needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
