Wanderlei Silva.....

Anyone here like him.......

Just got those autographed at the seminar with him yesterday. He is truly an awesome guy. Quite small actually but BY FAR the most fan friendly MMA fighter I have ever met. The had a 1 autograph limit, but he signed these 3 for me.

Awesome stuff. One of my all time favorites. Seems like an awesome dude. Very congenial.

Also got to roll with him a bit with me in his half guard.
I almost didnt know what to do because I froze as I was thinking "jesus ch$^&t, I am rolling with Wanderlei here".

Awesome experience.

I really like Silva. I just fear now that all those flat out wars and crazy training sessions have taken a toll on his body. AS much as I love watching him fight I think he should probably stop pretty soon.

Yeah it was awesome. By far the top MMA moment ive had so far. I am still sore from the seminar in fact.

As for him retiring, truth be told, the guy just loves to fight for a living. And really, it wasnt that long ago that he absolutely smoked Jardine in 30 seconds. I was at that UFC and it was awesome.

To me, it was like a kid in the 50's growing up and meeting Mickey Mantle.

I met Wandy in Japan. He really is a great guy.
