If some publisher was inebriated enough to let me create 'MiddleEasy's Greatest Hits', the first sentence would read: 'Wanderlei Silva looks like Bram Stoker had a baby with Mary Shelly and then threw the infant in a minefield to be raised by explosions.' Maybe not so much after his plastic surgery, but it's still a novel concept. Back in Pride, Wanderlei Silva was promoted as being a 'devil.' Granted, these are the same guys that promoted Rampage Jackson as an illiterate person who ate out of trashcans. Wandy embodied every bloodthirsty cliche you could possibly conceive, and condensed it down to the frame of a middleweight fighter that had no regard for human life. When the The Rolling Stones wrote 'Time is on my side,' it was because it was tired of riding shotgun with Wanderlei Silva.

I could spend the rest of June expressive my admiration for Wanderlei Silva through the use of mildly funny sentences, but instead I'll just show you this previously unreleased footage of Wanderlei Silva at UFC 139, or better known as the greatest MMA event of 2011.

True definition of a warrior. Nobody could top his Bushido Spirit. So nervous, but hoping for the best in this next fight.

Once "Sandstorm" starts playing, my heart rate is hittin the roof, and I'm going biz-irk. War Wandy!!

I still remember meeting him in Mtl, Qc at an autograph session during the Shogun-Machida II event. As an MMA legend & PRIDE FC champion, he's truly one of the best fighters in history known for his aggressive style, Muay thai skills and intense staredowns but as a person, he's, without a doubt, a warm, good-hearted human who's generous with his fans ! Shaking the hand (with bruised knuckles; you can see the experience of an MMA veteran !!) of my idol is a moment I will never forget !!
Wanderlei, muito obrigado para tudo ! All hail the Axe Murderer !!

I don't go to church at all but to me this is what a prayer should be, a means to focus the mind for the task ahead. Excellent video.

After Wanderlei weighed in for the Le fight, it looked like he was drinking from Machida's bottle by accident.
