Three pages and no fuck chuck video, you're slipping sherdog
Wand vs Mezger is an underrated fight.
His 2 fights Pride with Rampage and 1st Hendo fight are all time greats as is the Stann and Bisping fights
For me it was when he dropped Bisping at UFC 110, since I was in attendance. The whole crowd went crazy the atmosphere was unbelievable. You can see Wand just barely pulling back a soccer kick after his PRIDE instincts were taking effect.
Wanderlei vs Bisping was indeed a really fun fight
edit: oof, looks like my gifs failed horribly
Silva has had a lot of entertaining bouts in the UFC even if sadly he was out of his prime when he came back there after his PRIDE run
Even his first UFC run gave us this gem =>
Probably in the top 10 most posted gif in the early Sherdog forum days
Miy favorite moment was right before yours, t'was 2009, his first fight against Rich "Ace" Franklin... another fight that Wand doesn't get credit for because there's "loss" next to it, but it doesn't matter cuz good ol' SHERDAWG scored the fight for him <3
Good ol' Sherdog <3
"Silva waves his hands into the airfor the crowd and attacks with both hands"
This is THE moment of the fight I recall first when thinking about that one, crowd when nuts when Wand threw his hands up.
Even way past his prime the crowd was still in love with him

For me it was one of those fights that are so damn close, I'm happy calling them draws.
The second Franklin fight is another banger, 5 rounds this time, and that one I agree that Rich won the decision even if he got very close to getting finished
It wasn't the first time I had seen Wand in real life
(other times were when he was cornering teammates at previous events, signing autographs, stuff like that)
but it was the first time I had the chance of watching him fight live.
During his walkout the entire audience was stomping the ground until the arena shaked while Darude-Sandstorm was blaring and I broke my voice screaming "SILVAAAAAA" at random moments of the fights like you'd hear in most of his PRIDE fights...
Great entertainer, even if newer fans tend to mock him and American fans have taken Chael Sonnen's side during their strange rivalry, I don't think anyone who's watched a Wand fight live has regretted their decision to buy a ticket.

Long story short, that fight is my favorite Wanderlei fight
The Cung Le finish was also memorable, it was right after the catastrophic 27s loss to Chris Leben, and Cung Le was a decent favorite supposed to arrive from Strikeforce with his champ belt on finish poor Wanderlei's chin...
Then came out the coolest knees barrage since the second Rampage fight \o/
(for reference)
WAR WAND!! CHUTE BOXE 4EVA

Love it and love to see that side of Wand.
My favorite moment is probably when he's hands-on-ropes stomping in a prone Yuki Kondo's skull while smiling and laughing merrily while the bell rings that it's over.

every moment when he was murdering people. he was the perfect fighter to be on top when i was a teenager. you didn't need to know shit about fighting to know somebody was getting their ass beat watching a Wand fight.
he never stopped, and people will say "because he was roided" no, it's because of his mentality. there's lots of roided guys who will get tired, who will quit, but Wand was an animal. he will get after you no matter what. it's rare, the only current champion who has that kind of mentality is DDP.
he was the epitome of a prize fighter. even at the top he would always fight for the finish.
I have the "Fiel" tattoo on my shoulder like he does.
Yes, you are and that's why you need to get right with these Chinese nuts.
He never said "Fuck Chuck" or "I want to fuck Chuck".
He said "I want to fuck....(catches mistsake and rubs his head) and if he wanna fuck who can deny them man? Let him fuck"))
"I want to fuck.....
I want to fight with Chuck!"
Love that I know exactly which story you're talking about without having to look anything up ^_^ classic.I loved that portion of the story in Kazuyuki Fujita "the Head".
"Will it explode when you expose its core? Is it filled with something that you can rape with an octopus? That's when it hit them: Wanderlei Silva."
