    Anyone else used to like this rivalry ? Most people always talk about the jackson vs silva rivalry...But back in the pride fc era , Yoshida , unlike Rampage , used to give Silva way more problems imo. Especially in their rematch.

    Rampage gave problems to Wandy he was doing well in the 1st fight until they stood it up and he dropped Wandy in the rematch. Why everyone acts like neither fight was competitive ill never know. BTW to answer the question I love the Silva vs Yoshida fights.

    I didn't particularly like the fights; Yoshida was allowed to stall too much using his gi. They were both pretty slow and stalemate-ish affairs for a Wanderlei fight.
