"Wanderlei Silva is the only fighter with cauliflower face" - Chael "the goat" Sonnen.

The Axe Murderer... still one of the most fitting nicknames for a fighter to this day.

When Wanderlei Silva left home his father finally became man of the house.

"Wanderlai looked like he was about to kill someone. And Crocop looked like he just did." -youtuber

Wanderlei KO’ing Rampage and him going through the ropes is iconic

The fighter with the fiercest prefight staredown is Fedor. The is nothing more badass than looking bored when you step into the ring.

'Wanderlei Silva was a pretty good looking guy', yeah, 10.000 BC maybe.

I met Wanderlei in Los Angeles back in 2006 for a PRIDE promo. Let me tell you guys, Wanderlei is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He is very polite and affectionate. It makes me sad to see people make fun of him. He is a good guy for real.

“I can’t let you get close”-Uncle Chael

Wanderlei is a savage. Hes had so many bare knuckle fights on top of all his MMA fights. Full life of battle lol

He will return to fight now in 2019, in MK11 as Baraka.

The old school pride fighters were so awesome..I really miss those days of mma

Wanderlei is one of the coolest guys to meet, training with him is another story but he’s really down to earth and willing to talk to you for hours.

We need a documentary about Wanderlei’s childhood. I wanna know what created that beast.

Croo Cop in Pride was SO badass.

Silva ruined himself with all his bare knuckle fighting in his late teens. Unreal amout of scar tissue to the face

Prime Wanderlei pumped full of steroids was the scariest fighter of all time, especially with limited rules where he was allowed to punt your head off your shoulders.

4:05 "super normal looking guy" *looks exactly like Joe Rogan*

Don Frye had the best stare down for a long time, he also still has the best mustache ever in MMA

When Wanderlei Silva Was 18yrs old,,,, he told his parents to move out.

Wanderlei was one of the most terrifying guys to watch fight, his mannerisms were just straight up nightmares.

I’ve met Wanderlei and his wife doing some work for him...awesome kind hearted dude. Got a quick roll in too. Will never forget it!

I meet Wanderlei Silva he truly love his fans he love to talk with us take time for us ... this guy is a living legend

4:22 “jay leno and him should chin off” 😂🤣 I’m crying

I'm always amazed by Joe's memory when it comes to who fought who.

Wanderlei is such a nice humble guy. It's a scary thing, knowing he could easily kill you, but the way he is with his fans and regular people, it's like he wouldn't harm a fly.

will always be my all time fav fighter, hes either killing you or getting killed! true warrior! War Wand!

Wanderlei is one of those fighters you know they're on the top 10 of still active fighters with brain damage

Wanderlei in his prime before his chin went was just a savage. The image of him slamming his knee into Rampages head and him just slumping through the ropes was terrifying.

Nobody was scarier than Fedor and Silva in their prime.

Loved watching him Vs Rampage in Bellator, watching Silva swing like that, just like old times...

One does not simply get a moniker 'The Axe Murderer' !!

Wanderlei hitting Sakuraba with that right/left hook combo is seared into my mind.

Wanderlei Silva Vs Dan Henderson in Pride 12 in 2000 is when I became an MMA fan to the hardcore. MMA was my NFL at that point.

JRE is easily my favorite content rn... so glad that is practically never ending

Say what you want about Wanderlei. He is a true fearless and skilled fighter. When he lost many fights in the UFC, he wasn't in his prime anymore, and he wasn't too skilled in ground work. There are many fighters that could face Wanderlei. But he is definitely one of the best brawlers ever and one of the best fighters to watch.

I used to watch wanderlei with my dad on old DVD’s and the dudes insane!

I loved pride compared to ufc. It was just different, the feel of the event was just different. Some real characters that fought, especially Sakuraba.

The way Wanderlei stares down his opponent up close is intimidating to say the least, Conor has an extremely dominant stare down too, as he steps in and really looks at his opponents eyes and face followed by words of encouragement.

“Dan Henderson’s chin looks like it was drawn on” 🤣🤣

"I can't let you get close"

I was going through some old storage stuff of my dads. I watch the UFC consistently and I saw this disc that said pride FC. The main event Dan Henderson vs wanderlei Silva. Butter bean was also on the card. It was exiting to watch Henderson would fight any one anytime because Silva at the time was the scariest dude out there and hendo was 195 and Silva had to cut. Dan was just awesome to see

Wanderlei silva is my fav fighter of all

Cincinnati! My hometown! Just thinking of Wandy and his crew rollin around downtown makes me smile.

Best fight ever was Fedor vs Cro cop.

Get both the Diaz brothers on here and have a blunt smoking competition!

Wanderlei was genuinely terrifying, not a man you'd wanna meet in a dark alley.

When is joe and Eddie going to commentate over the old pride fights?

Much respect to wanderlei silca the most ferocious predator that ever competed in mma

I still remember that how Silva beated Rampage's ass so merciless.

I would love to have seen a Cro Cop Rampage staredown

I was at UFC 68 in Columbus. Drove from Maine to Ohio for that event.

I'm mad a lot of people missed out on wanderlei in his prime yo. One of the best fighters of our era

Jose Aldo's face has also changed a lot in a decade

For me wanderlei is may fav fighter to watch.he just so ferocious.pride middleweight champ for a reason.

Wand was just Scary ! Mr. Pride and mma legend 🇧🇷

Wanderlei fighting Brian Stann. That has to be one of the most incredible fights, ever. Talk about going to war... Both of them!!!

Imagine going through a creepy alley in the dark and you run into wanderlei

Would’ve loved to see fedor vs wanderlei Fedor would’ve won, but it’d be an awesome fight

Fun fact, Wanderlei was the heavier fighter when fighting Mirko in the second fight :)

I can’t let Wanderlei get close

The man's a legend.

Cro Cop kicking Bob Sapp in the ribs is iconic to this day 💯

Joe talking about Wanderlei... always a classic.

Wanderlei definitely was the one MMA fighter back then that had an aura about him. You wanted to tune in when he was fighting. He burned out quick though.....not sure if it's because of steroids or what.

"Him and Jay Leno should have a chin off" lmao

I grew up on pride and k1, miss those days

Remember Victor Belfort's speed of light barrage on Silva. It's one of my earliest UFC memories

In the thumbnail Silva looks like “Puri-puri prisoner.”

Theres nobody really that intimidating in the UFC anymore, cro cop, Wanderlei, vitor, Chuck liddell, tito, Bigfoot, Andrei, ect. so many guys were straight up scary looking back then and you don't get that anymore.

Wanderlei Silva also was in a lot of Vale Tudo bare knuckle fights before he even competed in the UFC and Pride FC. Not including his training where he allows people to punch his face to warm up the skin on his face? That made no sense when Wanderlei Silva said that, but he did. Warm up the skin on the face.

Great video!!!!!

Holy moly I've never been this early on any joe rogan related content

Wanderlei Silva is the 🐐

shout out from curitiba!

CroCop is a legend..good shit

“Wanderlei silva has the most profound facial change in all of MMA.” Besides Joe “HGH” Rogan’s face.

Most intimidating faces: Pride version of Wanderlei Silva, Wallid Ismail, Ralph Gracie, Brock Lesnar, Kimbo Slice.

Wanderlei on his prime was a raging beast

The picture Jamie pulled up of Wanderlei vs Henderson was from their second fight. He totally dropped the ball there. Wanderlei honestly looked like an absolute Chad in his early years.

"This was CroCop at his peak... right before he mastered MMA."

“Uh Vai Morrer! Uh Vai Morrer!”

Wanderlei was a spartan warrior in his past life

Pride was my favorite fight promotion. So many insanely good fighters in their prime, and a looser rule set made for the most incredible fights in the history of fighting sports. I wish Dana would open Pride again, or change the UFC rules to match the old Pride rules.

That was Dan Henderson vs wanderlei Silva 2 not 1

It's crazy to see how brazilians thrive in almost every sport. Its a country where no funds are destined to sports at all, we have no gyms, no fields, no courts. Our universities don't have any teams or athletic programs, most of professionals come out of poor neighboorhoods with no structure at all. You can often find out that a professional soccer player didn't even have shoes early on, they played bare footed. Fighters who didn't have any gloves, only a punching bag and a partner to beat his ass up. The cheapest the sport, the best they get. When you find a brazilian who made it in sports, take your fucking hat off, specially if you are american with all those fancy training facilities, government provided assistance and all sort of doctors to help fix you up.

His a legend

Crocop standing there calmly is so much more intimidating than Silva jumping around with im gonna kill u face

Cincinnati in da house

I think silva is back on the juice because he looked pretty good and actually caught rampage ....

I still Crack up to Dana saying cyborg looked like him with a dress on

Wanderlui was a fucking legend , when he came to Australia we had no fighters so he wanted to thank Australia and said he was fighting for us cause he had never meet so cool people who drunk them selves into a frenzy for him. One of the most ENTERTAINING FIGHTING machines to grace the octagon.

Wanderlei won the first fight against Cro Cop, awesome fight

Crocop straight took a life or two or more

My favorite fighter of all time him and dan Henderson

When he left Pride his face was completely smashed in hahahahaha

They chanted: "uh ! vai morrer".

When the Axe Murderer took on Cro Cop who was an "actual Murderer" he of course got destroyed buy Mirko.

I loved Wanderlei in Last Action Hero. That's how he got his nickname isn't it?

I miss the Sherdog Highlight that showed Wanderlei Silva in Pride. It had Nirvana's "In Bloom" as the backing track to his fight highlights.
