The Natural Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Wandy looked great against Bisping last time out. It's a shame he got sidelined for so long, he was last scheduled to fight Akiyama right? What was the injury he sustained? Â Broken ribs and then Silva needed knee surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yeah and like I said a few pages back despite fighting such a vicious style and so many wars in the ring and all the legendary stories of the Chute Boxe gym wars, this is pretty much the first serious layoff of his career. It's nuts when you consider who he's fought and how long he's been in the game. Â The word warrior gets thrown around a lot in MMA but if there was ever someone who that word fits perfectly it's Wanderlei fucking Silva.

hbk4life Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm really struggling to pick a winner in the Cruz/Faber, Leban/Silva and Kim/Condit fights, so here's hoping they are all close entertaining fights. In the countdown show Leban is talking about it going how all his fights go, where he takes 3 punches then he lands the knockout punch. If he takes 1 good clean shot from Silva it will be all over, never mind 3. I really can't wait for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members MichaelScarn Posted July 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 ESPN haven't got the prelims on their schedule yet (or my TV's EPG). Are they going to be on in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted July 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 They have the show listed to start at 1am. Maybe they're incorporating the prelims into the main show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just watched the Dana White interview with Ariel, can some one briefly explain what is going on with UFC and Spike? errr, i might be wrong here cause i aint been following it that much, but what i think's happening is Spike has a contract with the UFC, when that contract ends it won't be renewed. Spike are not happy for whatever reason (i aint sure whether or not its cause the UFC wont re-sign with them or they just dont like the company), so they tried (and succeeded) in sabotaging the UFC's ratings last weekend by running UFC programming at the same time it was on.
