Wanderlei Silva is Coming to America

As reported earlier, Pride Fighting Championship's Middleweight Champion is set to make his mark in the U.S. by staring in an upcoming mixed martial arts movie called Never Submit. And if that wasn't cool enough, Wandi is finally coming to the U.S. to fight! The Axe murder is scheduled to fight at PRIDE 33 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Sin City, Las Vegas. Unfortunately we don't know who his opponent will be just yet. Are we going to have a match-up the likes of Fedor vs Coleman? I know Pride will want to have an American fight Silva as that will be a bigger draw to the U.S. audience. I just pray it will be a real contender. It won't be the Ice Man Liddell nor da' Bad Boy Ortiz at this point. So who outside of the UFC world would be a good match up for Wanderlei? Will they bring an existing American Pride fighter over for the match up or will they find some new but recognizable blood? Drum roll.....Ken Shamrock, I pray not! Bas Rutten, I pray so! Wanderlei Silva is coming to America for a reason and he's here to stay. Pride will have a new posterboy. More to come...
