I hope Wandy gets his revenge

What nursing home is hosting this highly relevant matchup that fans have been demanding?

 

[Jinx_AA]

If it’s TRTor - he’ll murder wand

If they’re both deflated … maybe a respectful sparring match which disappoints

Either way you gotta favor vitor … and I’d assume
He’s juicy again in retirement?

 

[italiamusica]

Yeah Wand is going to lose, I love him but I feel like his chin is beyond gone. Kind of sad.

 

[Khaosan]

Wasn’t Wand saying he was having CTE symptoms? A boxing match against a juiced up Belfort is probably not the best idea.

[Hotora86]

Kinda sad really.
I assume both could make good money doing ads for Japanese and Brazilian firms. Or supporting a gym chain or supplement producer. Or coaching. Or commenting. Many options. But fighters gonna fight I guess, even if it means CTE.

Not everyone is like Pele or Rich Franklin and can make money easily after the sports career is over...

 

[mogul]

No

I love Wand but he dies

 

[NoSmilez]

They both old as shit. Vitor is less damaged than Wandy. He is probably going to kill him.

 

[sonhow]

Wandy is the man. Still competing after almost 20 years after losing his chin.

 

[Rorschachxx]

First to eat a punch is going out.

Both these dudes have no chin left at this point.

Gun to my head I guess I'm going with Vitor winning this.

You can't assume That if TRTor shows up, then most likely a juiced Wanderlei shows up. Probably the best match up for both of them if they want to stay active at their age and squeeze out a few more paychecks.

It doesn't effect anything else and they're close in age and once upon a time we're both world class, I don't mind it. It's 100x better than a Salt Papi VS Tony Ferguson boxing match

 

[Poirierfan]

Beyond tired of hearing this stuff.

 

[mmacrisis]

It's the all drug boxing match. In this corner we have Vitor: currently on 7x the normal dose of TRT. In this Corner Wand: on 4x the dose of TRT but has added several horse tranquilizers. Let's get ready to Rumb..... crap they both fell over

 

[World eater]

I never watch these old, beyond shot legends fighting for peanuts. It just makes me sad, painfully aware of my age and in need of some alcoholic beverage.

 

[Just Creed]

Vitor is gonna absolutely wreck him

 

[b00tysweat]

wtf did i wake up in a time machine?

how old are these guys? surely ufc winnings are enough to support yourself in Brazil...

 

[Poirierfan]

Vitor is gonna absolutely wreck him

And that proves what? Lol

 

[Nobru]

I heard they fighting in an orange farm, given the amount of juice that will be needed for this fight
