Following another loss by Wanderlei Silva in this UFC – this time to Chris Leben –, the president of the event, Dana White, didn’t make things much easier:
“People love him for the way he fights, his style and the person he is. But, yes, it’s probably the end of the line for Wanderlei.”
Upset by the way he lost, Wand posted via Twitter: “I cried, thought all kinds of awful things, and I’m ashamed. I’m only thinking about one thing now: I want revenge.”
Now the Brazilian’s future is still up in the air. However, White has some words of consolation for Wand on the website of “Fighters Only” magazine:
“He has nothing to be ashamed of, he was an incredible fighter for the last ten years. People love him and respect him. Age catches up to everyone.”
