Wanderlei Silva waiting for Vitor Belfort rematch in Bellator: ‘I will beat you up’

[La Paix]

Even 19 years after his KO loss to Vitor Belfort in 1998, Wanderlei Silva still longs for the rematch that was set to happen at the TUF Brazil 2 Finale, but never came through. This time around, though, Wanderlei would like to welcome Vitor to the Bellator cage.

“It would be great news if Vitor came to Bellator,” Wanderlei told Luta Livre. “I really hope he does. Bellator will create the masters weight class, only for legends.

“Everyone could see he got lucky in the first fight. I didn’t really analyze my opponent’s game plans back then. If you remove that from the equation, I’m sure I can beat Vitor up. So demand that I be the one to welcome him into Bellator. I will beat you up.”

That wasn’t very convincing. Early stoppage

Screw Bellator. They need to be in Japan or nowhere.

Rizin could have a juicy juice elders division. Give them all the performance enhancers they want and I'll buy every ppv.

Chael may hump them for a while, but would get caught in a submission at some point.

I liked it better when Wanderlei fought more than he talked.

He's up there in age now. Those days are long gone, sadly.

If he's going to keep fighting, this is one of the only fights I'd like to see him have.

Not sure what you mean by "useless".
One legend is fighting another, two of the most entertaining killers in NHB/MMA history, both trying to destroy each other, both would murder anyone one of us, and someone would get KTFO.
I'd rather see this main event any day over 90% of other main events, if not more.

I don't like seeing these older guys getting hit anymore. There would be a lot of hitting in this one.

Its sad that even the bellator fighters knows its the B league behind the UFC. A legends division? Wtf

 

[Yossarian]

Needs to be in a TRT division.
