Wanderlei Silva - The Most Brutal Fighter in MMA

[@jakeragsdale]

The youngsters that only saw Silva compete when he was waaay past his prime and almost retired have no idea how bad ass Wanderlei was….

[@docdoc8556]

He was also fighting in orgs that actively encouraged him to juice to the gills, so there's that.

[@darrenjpeters]

I remember Wanderlei from his bare knuckle days, well before he started juicing. Hell of a fighter, and that pre fight stare was about as scary as any I've seen.

[@nico5599]

Essa época era brutal. Joelhada na cervical, soco na nuca, tiro de meta, suplex, não era para os fracos.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

From watching his earlier fights, his physique changed considerably after his loss to Vitor Belfort. He became bulkier and more explosive. He probably knew Vitor was on the juice so he needed to get more stronger and explosive. Hence a few years later, his dominance in Pride. But I'm sure everyone was using it by then.

[@SnakePliskin762]

Vitor dropped off the juice for that fight,he was way lighter than his previous bulked up state which made him gas against couture.

[@WonderDerek]

Pride didn't test for steroids and it said so in everyone's contract. So there's no doubt that Silva hopped on the juice.

Possibly the reason for The IVC to install that memorable netting on the bottom ring rope to the canvas. Read Chuck Liddles book. There’s a chapter about his time in Vale Tudo and working inside that net(death trap) vs Jose ‘Pele’.
