While most of the old Wanderlei Silva fans cheered with his demonstration of will during the victory by knockout over Cung Le, in UFC 139, some skeptics were quick to minimize the achievement, noting that Cung is 39 years old, without rhythm and isn’t a top athlete in 84kg category, etc.
Wand doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone, but must be respected. One of the proofs is the video during Silva’s training, showing the fight (with boxing gloves) against the heavyweight Fabricio Werdum demonstrating that his overwhelming style isn’t lost.
When you hear someone saying something like “Wand, beat someone of your own size”, show the person this video.
