UFC 139 Wanderlei Silva knocks out Cung Le in devastating fashion -- What's Next for Wand?

In a sensational fight at UFC 139, Wanderlei Silva weathered an early storm from Cung Le and came back to win by second-round technical knockout.

Silva is one of the all-time great MMA fighters, but heading into this fight there was talk that it could be his last, as he had lost six of his previous eight. But this was a good showing for Silva, and one that demonstrated he has some fight left in him.

@Kenetpoola123 The UFC fans thought this was a vid of the actual event :3

@drkx2009 Wanderlei Silva beat Micheal Bisping! WTF are you smoking? You know nothing about MMA .. Wanderlei Silva has beaten Rampage Jackson twice by KNOCK OUT! He has knocked out Keith Jardine . Educate yourself before making ridiculous comments. Cung le is lucky they stopped the fight or he would have ended suffering brain damage! It was a good stoppage .. Cung le's face was all fucked up!

Wanderlei Silva was the most dominant middleweight MMA fighter on the planet for over 5 years. but you didnt even know what MMA meant because you didnt know it existed until the arrival of the UFC which shows how much you know about the sport @drkx2009

@TheBdizzleWong I was going for Cung Le but you have to admit, he was out of shape and he's past his prime time as well. He wasted so much energy on his kicks throughout 2 rounds. Reason why Cung Le is one of my favorite fighters is because he fights in such a unique way and he provides new elements to the world of MMA. MMA gets dull when the backgrounds of fighters are overflooded with Muay Thai/Kickboxing and BJJ/Greco-Roman Wrestling. Guys like Le gets rid of that dullness.

@TheBdizzleWong Is that why Cung couldn't even do an interview after the fight and instead, went to the hospital? Cung Le is one of my favorite fighters but there is a time when you have to see things in realistic view. On top of that, even if Cung were to go for a takedown, Wanderlei sprawled his legs well and started hammerfisting Le, which puts Le is severe disadvantage. Get real. Even if this were to go to the ground game, Le would've been seriously fucked.

@JUKEBOXX1990 Yeah He was holding the leg. Holding a leg is not defending yourself. Cung would have suffered a lot more damage had the fight continued. Cung was out of shape and had never fought anyone at the level of Wanderlei. Enough said.

[JUKEBOXX1990]

@guru4u187 uh hello he was holding on to wands leg fighting for a take down while wand was hitting him with some shots landing on back of head..enough said.peace

@JUKEBOXX1990 If it was a bad stoppage I would have been the first one to admit it. However, if you look carefully at the ending of the fight, Cung was in some deep trouble. The reason the ref stopped it was cause' Cung Le just was not fighting back. If you don't fight back the ref has no choice but to stop the fight to prevent serious injury to the fighter. I respect Cung Le, however, I think he will have a very difficult time in the UFC. I hope he does come back though!

@guru4u187 BAD STOPPAGE.but i agree he got fucked up

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@HavokOnePointZero He's not even a man. He's a freaking pitbull. LOL. Ugly pitbull that is. But a good fighter though. I wouldn't dare say this in front of his face though.

Cung Le put up a good fight but Wanderlei had the better of it. And it was a good stoppage. Only reason why Cung Le closed in and held Wanderlei's legs is because he wanted to close the distance to prevent getting kneed more in his face. What I noticed from this match was, Cung Le wasted LOT of his energy on his kicks and also, he was out of shape compared to his prime time. I think Wanderlei planned this and just wandered around till he figured le was running tired and then attack.
