The Wand fiasco the worst defangment of a fighter since Leonard-Duran II

[blkdynamite]

Wand ducked the Sonnen fight FOUR times?

This is worse than Tito - Chuck. Tito fought the guy who BEAT Chuck instead.

It's almost pathetic to watch Wandy fans scramble for excuses. No fear of Chael, but fear of losing? To me, fear is fear.

This will stay with Wandy for a LONG time.

Wand fears:

Love Wanderlei but yea, 4 times is too damn much. I think Wand couldn't except the fact that Chael took him down during the TUF fight.

 

[TheComebackKid]

I think you're being a bit overdramatic almost like a school girl

 

[5Rounder]

Sounds like Wand ducked a positive drug test, not Sonnen.

 

[jiujitsuforever]

ducked harder than overeem did to jds =)

Why do you feel Wandy felt the need to cheat? Hmm.

Why do you feel Wandy felt the need to cheat? Hmm.

Same reason Chael does?

Same reason Chael does?

Pot calling kettle? Makes it even worse. Not even home field advantage was enough to make fight.

Was the fight signed 4 times?

A contract?

no I don't think so.

Nice sig^

Googled 'defangment' this thread is at the top, lol.

All those pushbacks are on Wand.

no I don't think so.

Because SOMEONE wouldn't sign the contract

what do you mean? They asked Chael and Wand to take the tests at the same time. Chael took his, Wand ran away.

wanderlei won't recover from this

Define "defangment" and maybe I can answer.

Define "defangment" and maybe I can answer.

To remove the fangs from i.e. render them harmless.

 

[Black Blood]

This is a big 'meh' in my opinion. So Wanderlei isn't gonna fight? Darn. There was a solid chance this would turn into a three round Sonnen grindfest.

Now we get a fight that is a bit more relevant. At least with a win, Vitor will keep his spot in line for a middleweight title shot.

No. That is the definition of defang. The state of being defanged is merely defanged, not defangment. The verb is defanging. Defangment isn't a word.
