This is a an extremely interesting match up. Good job done by Joe Silva. Akiyama has heart and a good chin, but he looked gassed in his last fight with Belcher. I don’t have a clue who to pick in this one, there’s so many ways this could play out. I could see Akiyama out point him all night or Wandi by KO.

I hope this can get Silva back on track, and that is able to establish himself as a serious MW to be reckoned with. Akiyama obviously does not have the power of Wanderlei, but he is a smart fighter, as was shown against Belcher. If Wand is patient and waits for a good opening, he will crush this guy.

I don’t see how anyone can Dislike your comment, Rich. It’s spot on.

Wandy used to be feared because of his muay thai…

Rich S. You are so right about Wandy. He was the most exciting, dynamic fighter in mma, he used to throw combinations of punches, kicks and those devastating knees, now he’s one dimensional.

He was on a decline before the UFC bought Pride and you could see his last few fights in Pride were average at best. He lost his last two Pride fights by brutal ko and he’s never been the same.

I love this guy, but it pains me to see a fighter of his calibre lose and lose.

I see Wandy winning by Ko or TKO. Akiyama looked like a small MW against Belcher, and Wandy will come in as a massive MW, so I think that will be the difference in the fight.

Then again, the cut could mess Wandy up, so we’ll see.

Win or lose.. All I want is to see Wandy throw ONE knee..

JUST ONE KNEE WAND!!! LET US SEE YOUR OLD STRIKING!!!

Wandy went from the most exciting fighter on the face of the earth to someone that’s painful to watch..

He just swings away, wildly, and constantly misses..

At middleweight, he’ll be able to reach his opponents better.. I would like to see him throw more kicks, and use his clinch..

If he would quit focusing on making his fans happy, and just fight to win, that would, IN TURN, make his fans happy.. Because we won’t have to watch him lose, and lose, and lose some more..

I’d like to see Wandy get a brutal knockout here, but I don’t know about that just yet.. I say Wand via UD..

Wand should rediscover some of his Pride era fury and just run over Akiyama. If he tries to box Akiyama it’ll just play into Akiyama’s hands.

Wand by ko.

Wand can usually avoid the grappling with great judo players i.e. Yoshida and Nakamura. Definately dont think Akiyama’s striking is anywhere near Wand.

Wand by crushing KO.

I dont want to see either guy lose here, this is a tough fight to call, will the cut affect Silva enough that Akiyama can finish him in the later rounds, will Akiyama try ro use his ground game and not stand with Silva like he did against Belcher. This will be a very interesting fight.
