Your post suggests that Wandy was a beast because of steroids and he clearly wasn’t the same guy before he came to the UFC, so once again what did roids have to do with Pride’s success?

How can you explain the achievements of current ex-Pride stars in the UFC as they are all tested now?

I don’t deny that many fighters probably used steroids but your comments don’t entirely add up here, nothing to do with blinders.

Anyway I just hope that its a good fight with plenty of exchanges by either fighter. Bisping looked good against Kane but you have all that have said it he is no Wandi. I could see this being a very blood match up between both fighters but feel that Wandi has the better chin than Bisping and I don’t think Bisping has quite the power to knock Wandi out.

The only thing that makes me worry is that if they stand up and box, will the surgery that Wandi had to remove the scar tissue hold up?

All in all it will be an exciting fight

Seacrest Out!

Wanderlei SIlva was on a well documented decline before he came to the UFC, so if he was on steroids it had no effect still. He had lost something like 3 of his last 5 fights in Pride so I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

Also if we look closely at ex-Pride fighters in the UFC we see nothing but success. Anderson Silva is unbeaten in the Octagon, Rampage Jackson won the LHW title, Big Nog was HW champ at one point, and in my opinion is still the best HW in the UFC. Shogun Rua should be the current LHW champ and I think he’ll be officially crowned after his re-match, and Dan Henderson’s two losses in the octagon are to a couple of ex-Pride fighters.

I think this Pride vs UFC thing has had it’s run and should be done with. If you actually are objective about it the Pride fighters who cam to the UFC have definitely made their mark.

Im from the UK, and i am a very big fan of Bisping. However, i am a HUGE fan of Wanderlei. And i honestly would like to see Wanderlei win alot more than Bisping. However, without letting who i like more judge who i think will win the fight… I think this is a far more dangerous fight for Bisping than it is for Wanderlei. Denis Kang is NO Wanderlei Silva. Wanderlei Silva is the next step up for Bisping, infact i put Wanderlei on the same level as Hendo. So again.. Bisping is being tested against a world class fighter. Wanderlei may not be AS good as he used to be, but he is most definetly not ‘past it’. And at MW… he is going to be pretty huge compared to other fighters. I think this drop in weight may be what it takes for Wanderlei to return to his dominating roots. However… only time will tell. And this fight against Bspg will determine how well he will do in the MW division IMO.

I honestly doubt we will see Bisping KO or even TKO Wanderlei. It could happen, but its highly unlikely. Bisping would need to have a similiar gameplan as Franklin did when he fought Silva. Bisping is a very tough fighter, and IMO he has proved himself in the UFC, but not as a top contender. If he beats Wanderlei, he definetly qualifies himself as a top contender in my eyes. However, i dont see it going that way. I see Wanderlei winning, and winning decisevely. I even think Wandy would win the decision, IF it goes that far. As we all know.. the Franklin fight was very close. I see Wanderlei countering Bisping, catching him big, and finishing him off. He has had a much needed break from fighting. IMO i think he is going to comeback in far better shape, as he has had alot of time to settle in to his new weight. So conditioning shouldnt be an issue. As always… Wanderlei will be aggressive, and i think it will be a bit too much for Bisping. If he gets caught by Wanderlei as he did by Kang… he is more than likely getting finished. Wanderlei is one of the best finishers in the business.

It annoys me when people say Wandy has completely ‘past it’. I really dont think he has. He continues to put on great performances, against THE BEST fighters. Fair enough, he doesnt win them all, but they are close (apart from the Rampage fight). But he still competes against the top fighters. And destroys the middle tier fighters ( eg.Jardine). I class Bisping as a mid tier fighter. And im predicting a similiar outcome as the Hendo fight. Wanderlei will stalk Bisping… Pressure him, and eventually catch him. I will honestly be shocked if Bisping wins, infact probebly a little more upset for Wandy!!! As i really want to see him tear through the MW division (even though i dont think he could beat Anderson Silva, but a fight between the two would be epic).

Even though Wandy isnt what he used to be, he is still a notch above Bisping IMO, and is going to prove himself in the MW division.

this is a great fight with two guys that are good strikers. Bisping would do well to use movement and change angles, if he tries to slug it out I think he will get Thumped. If I was to make a prediction on this fight I would say Bisping may have a better gas tank and there for pull out a late tko or split decision.

Wow!!! I guess the aussies want to see a Brit get his ass handed to him. Great match-up. I was going to say Bisping may be quicker, but why bother. Bisping is going to experience deja-vu, waking up in the Octagon with an ice-pack on his neck, asking his corner what happened.

I also hope Wandy returns to form as a MW.
