Robert Whittaker Vs Wanderlei Silva

[MrPsychoticKane]

Prime Wanderlei would never make 185lbs lol so it’s a weird fight to talk about.

Whittaker destroys any drained 185 Wand especially in a cage. At 205 lbs its a tougher matchup and if it were in Pride then Wand would probably win.

I only bringed It up cuz of how Whittaker fights and I played as Wand In an online match against someone who played Whittaker

 

[Make Sherdog Great Again]

Whittaker isn't an undersized Japanese can, he murders any version of ped abusing prime Wanderlei.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Lol no.

if anything Romero destroyed bobby in the rematch. But it doesn’t matter.

we shall agree to disagree.

Come on bro I liked Sri Lanka in the 90s

Prime Wandy was trading punches with Mark Hunt man.

Yoel has some serious knees but his striking power is severely overrated.

Robert is technically the better striker but roided out of his mind 205 pound Pride Wanderlei was a scary dude, I can’t decide.

 

[Frost777]

The styles of Whittaker and Wanderlei match up weirdly, I tend to think a fighter like Whittaker who throws a lot of straight punches + kicks is a difficult match for the hook happy Wanderlei.

I think Romero would beat Wand though, superior grappling and could match or surpass him in punching power, probably just out wrestle him.

I love Wand by the way, we just didn’t see him matched up with many fighters with styles like Whittaker or Romero.

Yeah fought Hunt, Mirko, Henderson, Quinton, plenty of dangerous strikers only started to get KOed frequently after Mirko kicked his head off in their second fight.

Wanderlei's PRIDE run is filled with cans. The only notable wins are Rampage and Hendo. Whittaker survived Yoel "Benjamin Button" Romero's best shots.

Hook happy is a perfect description and straight punches counter that well it would just be a question of if Whitaker could handle an extremely aggressive roided out 205 pound Wanderlei. Could catch him with a straight while Wand was coming in, could catch him with a kick or could be overwhelmed by the onslaught if Wanderlei got within brawling range who knows.

Would've been an Iconic Match

Cage or ring? Wand fought much better
in a 22' ring than a 32' cageg

[Fesaine]

Wand would get destroyed by any top 10 middleweights. His style and skills doesn't transfer well at all in the current middleweight division.

 

[Versace]

Wanderlei is an absolutely terrible fighter that was only decent because of metric tons of steroids (like almost all Brazilians)

Whittaker KOs him stiff clean, never mind if he was roided himself

Vandy vs Hendo 1 - Hendo hit Vandy with an H-bomb and follow up punches . Wanderlei stood up , smiled and proceeded to kick the shit out of Hendo .

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Prime for prime?

Wanderlei by destruction.

PRIDEFC Wanderlei Stomps Whitaker to living death.

Im rewatching Pride right now and I don’t like that fight for Rob, god damn Wand was a fucking savage.

 

[green giant]

Could go either way really. Berserker mode is not easy to deal with but if Rob could counter it he could win with movement and precision.

 

[chinarice]

PRIDE Wand vs Whittaker = nighty night for Mr. Whittaker.

 

[cheat toes]

of course silva prime vs prime
