Wanderlei Silva, Hungry and Ready to Fight

[Ramma]

If Wanderlei Silva has his way, we’ll see all the Brazilian’s fury unleashed on his adversaries this coming December. The MMA ace is dying to fight. And he asked top dog Dana White to call upon him. “I’m waiting to fight again, maybe in December, because it’s the best event of the year. I want to fight in December,” said the fighter in an interview on MSNBC, making clear what he wants.

The last time he stepped in the ring, at UFC 84, in May this year, his appetite for victory was such that he demolished Keith Jardine in the very first round, after only 36 seconds of combat.

Wanderlei has been gearing up to get back to his winning ways, since 2007 was not his best year, as he ended up losing to Dan Henderson, at Pride 33, and Chuck Liddell, at UFC 79.

Training with veteran Randy Couture, though, seems to have had a positive effect on the athlete’s career by giving him incentive to improve. “I train with Couture, he’s a really cool guy and helps me a lot. I think I need to work more on my wrestling and takedowns, because the athletes in my division are stronger and taller, harder to take down,” said Wanderlei, who hopes to always to take part in the fight of the night when going into battle. “Every time I fight I’ve got my eyes on the bonus: the fight of the night or knockout… Submission I think is unlikely, but I always want to have the fight of the night,” stated the Brazilian.

I want to see him too. Wandy training with Couture....that will make for a very dangerous Silva. I can't wait to see him back in action

I hoped they would make Wandy v Evans, then the winner gets Forrest. That way he could of smashed Evans & Forrest, and he'd be LHW champion again.

Ahhh that would be nice.

If the rumors are true, I assume he'll be fighting Rampage?

War Wandy!

WAR MOTHAFUCKIN' WANDY!!!! This guy is hands down the most exciting and IMO the best LHW ever as he's fought anyone in his way including much bigger HWs. I wish a quick return to the ring and a great fight and an AWESOME FIGHT AND KNOCKOUT OF THE NIGHT VICTORY!!!!!!!

“Every time I fight I’ve got my eyes on the bonus: the fight of the night or knockout… Submission I think is unlikely, but I always want to have the fight of the night,”

anyone think this may be a problem of wandy's? he's one of my alltime faves, (currently, #3 methinks...) but it seems that sometimes, mainly in the chuck fight, that he gets a little overzealous about fight of the night striking style while he could utilize his fantastic ground game. the man has a bjj black belt but you never get to see it, it's a shame. i think he'd have a few more wins if he tried to vary the bolts he throws.

besides that, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!

I agree with you to an extent dude, I think he would have a couple of more marks in the W column if he did utilize his ground game more often. That said, I respect him all the more because he doesn't fear the person across the ring, he isn't in there to dance around and squeek out with a decision win.

Wandy comes out lookin to finish, bell to bell. He would rather take a loss than put on a boring fight, it's something Machida and his fans will never understand.
