So Wand can fight again and has 1 fight left on his UFC contract.
He is almost 39. As a massive fan Im also a realist about what he can get done. His fights with Franklin showed where he is. A drop off in speed has mean his less than perfect striking has been a real liability.
Wands punching style isnt great, that chin is always in the air and those hooks are what we refer to him belfast as "swingers" wild looking. They are predictable and leave him open
Maldonado is the level he will likely fight at, Scrolling up and down the rankings Id worry about what OSP or above would do to him now. I think Maldonado being a natural 185er would mean Wand wouldnt have to cut (which I dont think he wants to be doing again) I think it would be a massive PPV in brazil but would you see UFC giving him a winable fight as his last one?
How long can they keep him inactive before his contract can be scrapped?
