Two weird rumors surrounding Wanderlei Silva.
The first rumor is that the former Pride champion underwent facial surgery, which, according to Michael Bisping, is true.
Quick update on the potential Wanderlei Silva fight. Unfortunately thats not gonna happen. He's undergone facial surgery, so obviously won't be fighting in the near future. Rumours are he's actually out for the rest of the year.
So as of right now, Im still unaware of who I'll be facing at UFC 105. Obviously as stated before, when I know, you know.
The second is an older rumor that dealt with Silva's possible next opponent, which just so happens to be Michael Bisping.
Bisping's blog post at least confirms that the two camps were being approached about the potential fight. Currently it is rumored that UFC 105 will be headlined Michael Bisping in Manchester, England (Bisping lives in Manchester).
Without Wanderlei as an opponent Bisping may have to fight either the winner or loser of Maia vs. Marquardt in order for his bout to be a legit main event. Or the UFC could feature a title fight as the main event with Bisping fighting a different middleweight. Either the UFC middleweight or lightweight belts could be defended at that time.

WOW
I heard they were rumors so I didnt want to write anything. That looks like plastic surgery…

I believe it’s something similar to what Nick Diaz had done — shaving scar tissue from above the eyebrows.

theres some talk that the picture is fake down at bloody elbow. i believe it came from mmabay which is a notoriously bad and false website.

of course.
the picture is kinda weird looking. i dont think its him.
i dont doubt the surgery aspect though. i think i read something by wandys manager saying he wanted to take the rest of the year off after the frankin fight to rest and such.

shame
im all for wandy getting a nice little break between fights, he surely deserves it. but its a shame he cant go to England and destroy bisping.
This card should be headlined by BJ vs Diego.
They have both fought in the UK before so they shouldn’t be opposed to that plus BJ said that he wants to fight again in the next 2-3 months.
