Wanderlei 'The Axe Murderer' Silva Appreciation and Retirment thread

Recommended Posts

During his prime, when he was Pride champion, he was the face of the sport around the world. The man truly has legions of fans everywhere.

 

He is one of the handful of guys who helped build the sport with his fists, his sweat and his blood (moreoften it being the blood of his opponents).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe one or two more fights against quality opponents where he can be competitive and then he can hang up the gloves.

People may say i live in the past but i will always love the old days that gave birth too legends of the sport such as, Wanderlei, BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Mirko CroCop! Weather any of them ever get into title contention again ill always have the memories of there great wins and heartbreaking defeats! LONG LIVE THE LEGENDS!

The word legend gets thrown around a lot, but Wand is definately a true legend in MMA.

 

In his prime he was pretty much the most aggressive fighter in MMA and completely brutal. A true "fighters fighter", goes in to finish and most of all put on a show for the fans, something quite a lot of fighters now don't seem to care about.

Daaaaaamn! Imagine a fight between Wandy in his prime vs Chris Leben of now! Wandy may probaly win' date=' but that would be fight of the millenium![/quote']

 

.......? Prime Wand would wtf kill Leben with ease, especially with Pride rules. Wandy is the goat LHW.

Well Wandy' date=' you've had a great career. I've loved every fight you've ever had, win or lose. But unfortunately, I think it's time to hang up the gloves. Here's to one of MMA's last legends!

Time to retire for real, really bad KO's Wandy's had in his career that I can think of off the top

 

of my head, brutal KO's sustained via KO have been left leg head kick by Cro Cop, hook

 

by Page, and now uppercut and gnp by Leben. Wandy is another predictable fighter:

 

always comes straight into mid and close range and throws wild haymaker punches, and

 

that what he did in most of his fights, no wonder he got figured out by the three KO artists

 

above.
