Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2017 My mate who hasn't watched MMA in years has been sucked back in for this on the strength of Wandy and Fedor being involved. Anyone know when we're getting this on Spike over here? I know it won't be not on live, how long is the delay? No way I'm waiting for Spike myself. I can't go back to the Bravo days.

Paid Members lambyUK Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 So incredibly fight week is here, and as of this time of writing, Sonnen vs Silva is still a go. I've not actually given this fight any thought whatsoever as I've just not been confident enough to believe it to happen. However, I'm now starting to believe (ever so slightly anyway).

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 Very much in a similar position, lamby. I've avoided getting too hyped up by watching the promos and video packages. I'll watch and hope Wand gets to MSG on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wanderlei Silva in the heyday... Yeah he's had an embarrassingly shit few years but fuck everyone. This man made me an MMA fan. I've got too many fond memories of watching him kneeing faces off. He'd have to break in and Thai clinch my mum or something for me to hate him. I've missed the daft cunt. The Stann fight seems like a lifetime ago when you think of everything that's happened since 2013. Fuck, when Wandy last fought Conor McGregor was still a month away from even debuting in the UFC. Now he's boxing Floyd Mayweather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wanderlei made a lot of people fans. Back in the day, i was discovering MMA by myself i was always trying to turn other people onto the sport and the guy i'd always show people was Wanderlei. He was the one fighter that summed up the violence that is initially the appeal for many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I admit that I'll probably be reduced to a raving fanboy if Wanderlei goes out there and smashes Sonnen into oblivion for the KO win. Probably won't happen, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm surprised Wanderlei is leading in the poll. I was sure Chael would be almost landsliding this. As shit as he looked against Tito, I still think Chael wins this. Wandy by KO is what I want but that's only going to happen if either a) Chael chooses to stand with him (breaking news...he won't) or b) Chael is forced to stand with him, which I can't see Wand managing for long. Add in that Wand's coming off FOUR YEARS on the shelf and it's a recipe for a very lopsided defeat for him. Chael only gets beat down by guys he can't wrestle, and Wand is someone I think he can wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 im expecting Chael to have some early success but turtle up and bail as soon as Wanderlei gets anything going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 That's the thing though, I can't see Wanderlei getting anything going. I don't think this fight is going to be contested on the feet much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
