Wand needs to fight his will to keep on fighting. Tired of seeing him wobble his way into the cage, perform terribly, and continue to lose brain cells.

Not a hater, just a fan who realizes the truth . I guess if you wanna keep watching him get slept and/or fist ****d then go for it.

So he is going to get retired earlier then expected.

He beat Bisping and Cung Le at 185, he won the tough fights and lost the easier fights, Franklin and  Leben. At this point he probably is gonna do exciting fights for us and Dana is planning it that way.

Who thought Franklin was supposed to be an easy fight for him?


And being exciting isn't going to stop Dana from releasing him if he gets KO'd brutally once or two more times

Dana White would never release Wanderlei, he has pretty much said it in interviews in the past. Guy's a legend and he brings it every time which is what fans what. If Wand gets KO'd brutally one or two more times then Dana would at the most try convincing him  to retire. 

If they kept Steve Cantwell whom was always in BORING fights who went on a 5 fight losing streak .... They'll keep Wanderlei Silva.

I welcome Wanderlei moving back to LHW.  I think he fought better at his natural weight.  Fighting at MW gave up too much of his power.

There are a lot of guys who I think would have done better as LHWs.  Frank Shamrock, Vitor Belfort, Phil Baroni, Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin.  Probably more that I can't think of at the moment.

Some of them did fight at LHW earlier in their careers.

Wandy has given us years of entertaining battles, he operates a flourishing gym... I personally don't want to see the guy get wrecked at LHW.

I agree with Bill, Wand never really looked good at MW while his best moments were all at LHW. He cuts too much weight for MW and always looks way too ****** up at weigh ins. Cardio has always been an issue for him and getting older is surely not making it any easier, cutting all that weight only makes it even worse.
I think there are still a few fun matches for him at LHW and it would be cool to watch him fight 2 or 3 times at LHW in 2013 and then retire.
