I don’t want them to like me, because when I’m in the ring punches fly to the face. It is not a tenderness time. I am not falling in love with him, and he knows when the fight starts I kick faces.
— Wanderlei Silva (via victory-defeat) Wand has such a beautiful way with words.
Wanderlei Silva after UFC 110
By Daniel Herbertson
I gotta wonder how long that new nose of his lasts.
Also, I never noticed how pretty his eyes are. It’s rare that you get such a good look a them without them being THE LAST THING YOU SEE!!!

On the upside of old heroes…
I didn’t have the opportunity to watch the fights live last night. This morning I butchered a whole hog and went to get lunch at an Indian restaurant a few blocks away from my flat. I knew I still had plenty of cleaning and cooking to do (I took home about 12 lbs of pork), and didn’t know if I’d be able to make time for the fights until Monday.
As I was considering what my schedule would be, none other than SandStorm started playing through the speakers in the restaurant. I took this as a sign from the gods themselves that my schedule had already been decided.

Wand grants a fan request: a staredown with the Axe Murderer (via @UFC)
I need to study more English. Because all my fans come here and they say, ‘Hey! Kick his ass!’ But I don’t know what is this so much. But for my fans, I am going to kick the Bisping ass.

Wanderlei Silva, how is it that you manage to connect a punch with your target while throwing it with your eyes closed?

Aftermath of Rampage vs Silva III or The Sweet Sweet Revenge.
Absolutely brutal. I wasn’t sure Yves Lavigne would be able to pull Rampage off.
