Will Wanderlei Silva announce retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) after his UFC on FUEL TV 8 main event fight against Brian Stann this weekend? "The Axe Murderer" says that win or lose in Japan, he has no plans to retire ... for now.
As Wanderlei Silva gears up for his return to Japan after a seven-year absence, he will look to entertain his loyal Japanese fan base as he vows to earn a "Fight Night" bonus in his main event fight against "All American," Brian Stann.
What can fans expect when Brian Stann and Wanderlei Silva meet this weekend (Mar. 3, 2013) in Saitama, Japan, at UFC on FUEL TV 8? A very violent fight, according to "All American." Find out why someone may need post-fight surgery, inside.
Wanderlei Silva is aiming for a 2014 return to UFC action but he's aiming to do so at middleweight. That's right, folks, "The Axe Murderer" wants to go back up to light heavyweight.
Exactly 200 fights have taken place in the UFC this year. But how many have ended in a KO? Submission? Are you seeing more decisions? Take a look at the UFC stats breakdown as we reach the halfway point of 2012.
Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen was a great main event at the UFC 148 PPV last night in Las Vegas. It's a good thing, too, because the rest of the card was lousy.
Now that Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz have settled their feud with a trilogy (not quite) for the ages, it's time for the UFC to stop with the Nostalgia Tour.
Bloody Elbow Radio, presented by Bad Boy, will be live to discuss the latest in MMA. We'll have audio of both the UFC 148 and Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy conference calls.
Headlined by a main event pitting hometown hero Wanderlei Silva against former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, UFC 147 reportedly drew 16,643 live fans and over 20 million on Brazilian television.
UFC President Dana White was in a "bad mood" following the "Silva vs. Franklin 2" pay-per-view (PPV), after the judging "problem" once again reared its ugly head.
