Before Irvin gets Wandy at 185, he needs to prove himself after being destroyed by Anderson. He should fight a Chris Leben or Patrick Cote in a stand up war.

i am not writing him off, he tooks chucks best shots and didn’t go down, that punch from rampage would have knocked out anyone plus wandy is past his prime but not done, he has been fighting guys bigger than him even knocking out hw’s at this point he needs to drop down in weight and maybe renew his career, these guys are cutting weight and coming in huge fight night when he is coming in under 205.

I know he looked rubbish against Anderson Silva.. but it looked to me like Irvin was doing well against Thiago Silva before he injured his leg… I reckon he is probably quite a good fighter – I’d like to see him at 185 against Bisping/Leben/Cote…

Also,… why is everyone writing Wandi off?? He’s lost a few fights to the top names in the sport… he’s got plenty left to give – I think he’d beat the shit outa Irvin!

Wandi vs Houston Alexander would be good!

I think my grandmother could knockout wandy. His prime was about two years ago and unless he can catch his opponent like he did with Jardine, he can’t win a fight in the UFC. My guess is that he will have one or maybe two more fights and then get released from his contract. I think Dana enjoys showing the fans that former pride fighters are not really too relevant and that the UFC was the big show all along. This isn’t a bad thing though. We still get to watch wandy get rocked a couple more times before getting the boot.

yeah mw is good for him but he should not be calling anyone out or asking for all top fighters, you have to earn that and the last time they gave him a top fighter he was on painkillers and out in 10 seconds so he should work his way back and not ask to be given big fights.
