He's pretty awesome. I would go for it if I were you. In his prime he was the most exciting and intimidating fighter of the last ten to twelve years.

I'd go see him if I could. 

Just too bad he's past his prime and the UFC tests most for anabolics.

Always puts on an exciting fight and is very humble.

Wanderlei Silva, is a great guy, very poilte and very knowledgeable.He lives right down the street from me, and he goes to the same Church I go to.He is a lucky guy , he has a beautiful Brazilian wife, with a perfect body, who is very sweet.
Wanderlei Silva in person is a complete gentlemen, and very nice.He found out I made supplements and asked if he could have some samples.Since it was Wanderlei Silva I just gave him the actual product not samples.He tried to pay me for them, and said, you dont have to give these to me for free.
He now buys my product on a regular basis
Most fighters and bodybuilders expect and want everything for free.
Wanderlei Silva and Frank Mir are the 2 people, who I have known who didnt expect anything for free, and was very appreciative of anything you give them or do for them.
Wanderlei Silva is a great fighter,he isnt cocky, or arrogant,just a really cool person

Here we go with the shit-talking punk.....The OP asked advice from people that knew about MMA.  That isn't you fockface.

If you get a chance to train with Wandy, don't miss it.  A great fighter and a great coach.  He is a very humble, friendly guy.

This is the dumbest post ever
Ask him why after all his big talk he pussyed out of a boxing match with Roy Jones Jr?

I did actually ask him.His exact words were, I am not a boxer, I am a fighter.I fight I dont box.If Roy Jones JR wants to fight me I will fight him.

Roy Jones used to be the best LB for LB fighter in the world.Now he is a cocky, smacking talking washed up boxer.
The diffrence between Wanderlei Silva and Roy Jones jr, is Wanderlei Silva is polite repectful and has class.Roy Jones, is his own biggest fan.I used to like Roy Jones JR, when he was one of the best boxers.
Now he just talks ,but cant back any of it up.
I honestly think Wanderlei Silva could knock out Roy Jones JR in a boxing match, now.Ten years ago, I dont know.
The bottom line is Wanderlei Silva will not back down from any boxer, if the boxer, wants to fight him, not box him.Putting a fighter in a boxing ring is stupid, because he cannot use 90% of his skills.

I agree that the whole mma subculture is kind of dorky and pathetic. I went to the last ufc in boston it was my first. We stopped by the expo to get a couple of pics and meet some of the fighters. There was a lot of weird people there. I'm sure bodybuilding fans can relate!! That goes with most sports though.

Wand fought in pride where there was very little rubbing dicks on anything. If you went to the ground you would problalby get soccer kicked in the fucking head.

My favorite MMA fighter of all time

One of my fav Wanderlie vids. I have nothing but respect for boxing and boxers but to compare in a street fighting sense what MMA fighters do compared to boxing... I mean, does Avery and McAnusMuncher even know that the opening round in Pride was 10 minutes long?

I mean, look at what Silva does to Rampage. "MMA is so far removed from street fighting that it's not even funny," as McAnus said. Wigger Pleeese. Silva in his prime was a savage beast and I'd put my money on him over Tyson on the street any day. Tyson was human too as Buster Douglas (who?) proved knocking Tyson out while Tyson was still in his twenties, his physical prime. Unless Tyson trained in some wrestling and kick boxing and not just punching and protecting his upper body and face, Wanderlie would have destroyed him in the street. And Wanderlie did way more street fighting than Tyson ever did.

I don't know about Wandy vs a prime Tyson. Wandy utilizes wild swings and aggression (something a prime Tyson had in bucketloads+ scary punching power) Tyson was more technically sound and dangerous when he was training with Rooney. Unless Wandy went to his BJJ skills Tyson would have ripped him apart..a la Belfort (wandy vs Vitor)

Still a fan of Wanderlei but pitting him against a prime Tyson......

I love Wand, but he was a stand up brawler with real sloppy technique, which is funny enough what made his fights exciting. Mike had way too much speed, power, precision and technique for someone with Wands style. Unless he took him down straight away it wouldn't even be a fight. You must have been watching another fight to the Douglas fight i saw, because he was getting his head snapped back for ten rounds, it was hardly some flash knockout. Wand would have absolutely zero chance of doing anything standing. Best hope is BJJ and hope he doesn't get his face chewed off.

remember tyson couldnt get rid of holyfield...so a guy with a great chin could hang in there with tyson.  that being said...tyson is very similar to frazier with short fast hooks.  tyson was also an accumulation puncher against the best guys...got lower rated fighters out with one punch.



if tyson didnt get foreman out the ring in 2-3...he'd join the frazier club.

You don't know the first thing about MMA, that's why you post nonsense.  Lesnar was the NCAA national wrestling champion in 2000.  He is hardly finished and past his prime.  Lesnar made $400,000 for his last fight not counting any promotional money or incentive money.  I don't wear affliction or tapout shirts.  I told you before, that was just some wanna be that stole your "lady", not a real fighter.  A real fighter would have made you watch while he ass-focked her, just to see you cry like the bitch that you are.  I don't know why you are so hurt.  Fat girls are everywhere.

Oh?  Just to inform a young, feeble, mind:  Mike Tyson was one of the most dominate heavyweight boxers of all time.  He KO'd short guys, big guys, TALLER GUYS, guys with great uppercuts.  You name it, Tyson KO'd them.

Has your boy Foreman done the same?  Foreman was a great opponent and boxer, but Iron Mike was a legend.

Young grasshopper:  it's "fought" and "opponents".

He had something like 60 fights. More than half of those were cans fed to him. He had the heart of a coward and bully. Look how he bit Holyfields ear. It wasn't because he was crazy, he wanted out of that fight because he was getting the shit beat out of him.

It wasn't because he is crazy or because he wanted out of the fight.  He was frustrated by the fact that he couldn't land shots.

Because Tyson was so ruthless and savage in the ring and so dominate when he first came out (a few years really) there is this mythical quality about him. He's human like everybody else and taken in totality wasn't the dominate heavy weight that he was portrayed to be. He could have been if Cus D'Amato lived longer but after getting knocked out by Buster Douglas while only 24 years old, in his pristine physical prime, he was never the same.

Scroll to about 1:24 to see the legend go down. I remember it just like it was yesterday. I remember where I was, who I was watching the fight with, and the utter shock we all felt watching the seemingly indestructible crumble to the mat. It reminded me how we are all human and some day and at some point we all go down.

Evander is considered one of the dirtiest fighters of that era.

I don't know. It's really up to you to decide. Do you think your money could be better spent elseware? Only you can decide. Don't be a bitch and rely on others opinion.

I hope I have helped in this matter.

Its not a case of money really.Just as a keen martial artist i was interested if it would be worthwhile going to see what this guys got to say.Im not that familiar with his history in MMA so i thought id ask the folks on here, is that ok ? ;D
