    Seriously? Wow. Might be a better matched fight because Cung Le isn't proven enough yet and is a movie star who has most recently lost to a low level fighter. Wand is past it but might be able to get a good win here. I could see Cung rising to the challenge and his kicks are hard to get by if you don't choose to grapple him.

    So many unknowns.

    I never thought Id say this, but I dont want to see Wanderlei fight again. Not even in this one.

    This was over 3 years ago...

    Im not sure if Cung has the kod power in his hands to finish Wandy, and he has been getting made bitchblike by heavy handed guys

    But I just dont think he has the reach knowledge to counter Cung's kicking game

    I'm not sure if he can get the kod against Cung but as a Wanderlei fan i can never bet against him.

    I'm required by law to support Wanderlei, but I'm worried for him in this fight.

    Wandy is shot to ****, but Le isn't that good.

    Should be exciting while it lasts either way. Le would've got demolished early doors by Vitor.

    And whilst Scott Smith ain't great, he can bang and the loss was avenged. Inactivity, age and not being that good are the main things harming Le's chances of doing anything in the UFC.

    two of my favourite fighters, hard to say however in all honesty wandy in pride was the most scary mofo alive and had amazing brawling skills and devastating knees. Cung Le was a technical expert and had in his prime amazing kicks however pride wandy is in a different level of skill. Wandy by clinch and knees, knees, knees and more knees.

    Silva is Shot. He gut Murdered by Chris Leban at his own game. I don't know his opponent.

    I think I want Cung to win. I want Wand to concentrate on training, clothes etc

    Oh god ****ing damn it. This was a good fight, I was really looking forward to Belfort vs. Cung Le, Belfort has a shitty injury record. Wanderlei will get ****ing destroyed. He needs to call it time, it's over.
