Wanderlei Silva "I met with Nobuyuki Sakakibara former PRIDE present RIZIN promoter! I have good news to return to the ring soon!"


Well I consider it official, since Vegas suspended him for 3 years! I see him in Japan

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

Awesome, return of the Axe Murderer in the land of the rising sun!!!

This way he can compete using steroids. I would have rather seen him sign with Bellator.

LOL! You have too much faith.

More like Wanderlei vs. Baruto, Fedor vs. Takada.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coup if true!

 

[information]

Why the hell does Wanderlei look like butterbean? He's going heavyweight to fight Fedor? Let the rumors begin!

 

[cheesus]

Does the NSAC have any authority to pursue him over any legal action ?

Should be a good home to Wand, he can take all the drugs he wants and they can feed him a few random japanese cans reminiscent of his pride days, I see a match with Fedor as almost imminent

This yes and the winners can fight on NYE

 

[chiefwiggum]

Excited to see wanderlei stomp again!

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Wanderlei is finally where he belongs, good for him!

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

Rogan mentioned it on his podcast with Bas Rutten that Wandy signed with Rizin too.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

The same wanderlei that was covered in veins for the fight in japan with stann would do well for rizin.

no they don't. this would only be an issue if he fights there before his suspension is up and then tries to get licensed in the US(or any place that recognizes US athletic commission rulings, so possibly Brazil given that the UFC helped them start their AC I believe)

 

[manboy<3]

since Wandy is not a draw in Japan
Shlemenko vs Wanderlei is the best fight they can make for the next event.. The next best option is Ken Hasegawa

Fedor needs to face Baruto otherwise his legacy will never include a win over a Sumo...him facing Wanderlei would be a huge mistake.

I don't see why Wanderlei cannot compete a few times for RIZIN and then go back to bellator in 2017 to help save whats left of that sinking ship

It is official. Wanderlei shared an interview he did in the last week or so, where he explained his plans for 2016-2017. He said he's going to work with both Rizin and Bellator.
And when asked bout the potential Fedor fight he said that he would love that but just not right away. (needs a warmup fight)

 

[VIP1349]

I don't think he has an option. He's suspended in Vegas and any place in the US with a commission won't allow him to fight.

Rizin is perfect for him. I don't have a ton of interest in the Fedor fight right now. Rather see him get a win and set that up down the line.

They have zero legal standing outside of the state they're in.
