Author Topic: Who will Wanderlei fight in Dec? (Read 3949 times)

They kept on saying during the broadcast that IF Chuck won he would fight Wand. Now since Chuck has lost, who do they match him up with?

I'd say Forrest and Wand for a shot at the title. Forrest just beat the number ranked fighter in the divison and Wand is a proven fighter and deserving of a bout like this....plus he holds two KO victories over Rampage.

Thoughts?

Rashad vs. Forrest, Jardine vs. Wanderlei, winners fight each other, culminating in a title bout.

Hahahahahaha, can you imagine the staredown between Jardine and Wanderlei!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rashad's next fight most likely will be a rematch with Tito, and don't forget Machida and Alexander as possiblities in that equation as well.

What about Bisping?

What about Bisping?

He got beat up at 205lbs by a guy with a torn ACL and realized he should probably move down to 185lbs because he would most likely not get two gifts from the judges in a row.

I say Wanderlei should fight Tito in December, considering Tito has beat him before and it seems like that Titio is used as a measuring stick ie. Forrest, Rashad..etc....

imagine the mass suicides of pride fans if wanderlei lose!

you gotta think with jardine and griffin both winning that a rematch is coming. with the winner getting a title shot.
alexander might be in the mix too.

liddel has gotta be out of it for now after losing 2 straight.

Fury · « **Reply #9 on:** September 23, 2007, 04:44:24 PM »

Personally, I'd like to see Alexander versus Wandy. Winner gets a title shot after Griffin/Jardine rematch and the winner of that gets their title shot.

I would like to see Bisping fight Wandy

Bisping needs to be KTFO

if I was matchmaker for the UFC that's probably who I'd put together just to see if forrest can continue in his "legend killer" mode

I'd love to see Lyoto and Wanderlei. Machida has much more precise striking, without the power.

I don't know man. Wand is coming off two devastating knock outs. + He will be fighting in a cage, and with somewhat different rules + the possibility of steroids no longer being an option.

without the benefit of an 8-ball before stepping into the cage, the "axe murderor" ain't doing shiat.

I wan't to see Houston v. Bisbing.

Houston vs Bisping

Wandy vs Bisping

Both=Brutal 1st Round K.O!!!

Why are people still on the Bisfraud wagon? You would think they would have stopped talking about that sissy after the shelacking he took against Hammill.

because they're caught up in the drama instead of wondering about the big picture of the division

It's insulting to even insinuate that he deserves to be in the ring with two legitimate fighters like Houston and Wandy. He should try fighting his way back up from square one or run off to the 185 class like I thought he intended to do.

Geo · « **Reply #22 on:** September 24, 2007, 11:22:47 AM »

he should try fighting somewhere other than england....

I think all his fights except the TV show were over there

He'd be relegated to "can" status if it wasn't for his massive British teenage tough guy following.

Well....From the fall out of Sat night
taking in factors as much of $$ fights have to happen as do deserving opponents
heres my take on lt hvys

Rampage vs Forrest in December time frame

Wandy Silva vs either Jason Lampert or Houston Alexander
(after coming off his loss to hendo he shouldnt be given a title shot off the snap BUT
you can put him in with a top 10 oppopnent looking to move up) Nov 07

Rash Evans vs Tito part 2 in November

heres a $$ match and would bury the loser
Liddell vs Rua !!

Bisping vs Jardine

let Hendo (if he stays in 205) throwdown with Lyoto Machida

those are your top 12 light heavies
give or take Matt Hammil Thiego Silva and Corey Welmsley
