    He keeps saying he doesn't want to fight him because Stann is a big fan favorite and that's why he doesn't want to fight him because people will hate him for it . Do you buy it ? Or is he just scared ? Or holding out for a bigger fight ?

    You really think someone like Wanderlei is SCARED to fight someone like Brian Stann? You are an idiot. :rolleyes:

    You just had to add the idiot part ? You like calling people names online ? Very mature. Okay Mr. Internet bully why did he pull out of UFC 130 and didn't want to fight him then ?

    i'm a big wanderlai fan, but that was one of the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard. Makes me question his mental make up. Does he wants to fight or make friends ?? At this stage of his career, I'm afraid it's more of tha latter.

    I think it is just a high risk/low reward situation and that at this point in his career, Wanderlei just wants big fights.

    Kind of lame, but can't blame him, and he's earned that right IMO.

    silva hasnt been the same since coming to ufc. when was the last time he waved to the fans during the fight (while losing nonetheless) and was all smiles after a loss?

    he has that 'win or lose, i give it all' mentality but recently, it seems like the winning part isn't really important to him.

    It's a risk/reward equation for Wandy. Let's be honest, if he knocked out Brian Stann it would do little for him in terms of advancing his ranking.

    Scared though? I find it hard to believe from a guy that's waded straight into danger so MANY times during his career without ever batting an eyelash.

    Honestly name another guy that would stand and trade with Rampage.

    Since when is STann a big crowd favorite? Sure he won some fans with the destruction of Leben and he has the whole purple heart thing going on, but it's not like he's in the Forrest Griffin or even Rich Franklin category of fan favourites. (yet, he had no problems fighting Franklin, or even a guy like Bisping who has a big following overseas).

    I would give him what he wants, fights against the top of the division. It would earn him his ticket right out of the UFC

    Yep... I would take it a step further and say that Wandy would probably be a bigger fan favorite in the fight than Stann.

    But it shouldnt be like that. One thing i like about this small community we have here is that we arent elite acting assholes like some in GD. We shouldnt be calling people names here at all.

    The guy hasn't fought in a year. Gets offered a good fight on a huge card and turns it down because people like Stann and he doesn't want to upset the people ? I'm not saying he's afraid but cmon what kind of bullshit is that ?
