Wanderlei Silva: "It's Just a Flesh Wound!"

Wanderlei Silva is a little bit crazy. Need proof? How about the fact that he tore his ACL, had it confirmed by three doctors and was still planning on fighting Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 116. It's freakishly reminiscent of the Black Knight in Monty Python declaring "it's just a flesh wound!" despite being repeatedly decapitated.
Why would Silva continue training with a leg that's not functioning properly (also, would the Nevada Athletic Commission stop him? HAHA! HAHA! HAHA!. Boy that's too rich!)? Maybe Wanderlei just really wanted to fight in his adopted hometown for his birthday like previously reported. Or he's borderline banzai.
In the end Silva ended up withdrawing due to broken ribs not the ACL injury. And here we were thinking that the "Axe Murderer" really was some real life Jason or Michael. Fortunately he's not a supernatural killer who hates babysitters.

any time you have an excuse to use a monty python picture, it is well received by me “you tiny brained wiper of other people’s bottoms”
I'm old school hating Lesnar, I've been hating Lesnar since '08
I'm going to start being the BE or KidNate of commenters, I'm just going to copy and paste your comments and say "I agree & Dana White sucks!"
Wow.
Now I’m glad he pulled out. He needs to be healthy, plus now Leben can get his ass kicked(hopefully).
I'm your huckleberry.
Excuse me, old woman!
MAN!
oh…sorry…excuse me, old man!
I’m 43.
What?
I’m 43, I’m not old…
Oh…well I can’t just call you “Man”.
You could’ve asked my name…
