As a fan I wished he had of retired after the Stann win. It was a perfect ending to a great career.
It was sad to see an out of shape Wanderlei get taken down at will and dominated by a fighter like Sonnen.
I'd imagine any good wrestler will do the same against him. His chin is shot and his speed has left him, a striker like Manhoef who isn't going to take him down will hospitalise him.
The only fight that makes sense to me in Bellator is against Fedor. Both coming off a loss and both totally and utterly shot fighters. It's Perfect for Bellators seniors league and both are huge names. Honestly I'd expect Fedor to stomp him though.
Looking at the shape he was in physically really makes me think his best chance to finish on a high is to go to Japan, get back on the gear and fight much lesser opposition.
Anyone heard anything on his current situation?
