Fightlinker


This month's issue of FIGHT! features an in-depth article on the legendary Wanderlei Silva. We already know Wanderlei hates Christmas so it comes as a surprise that he likes puppies. Then again, Hellboy has a soft spot for kittens and he's the spawn of Satan.

The story goes that Mauricio "Shogun" Rua owned a pitbull who gave birth to a litter of puppies. Wanderlei expressed interest in having one (likely by pointing and saying "Wand hungry") and Shogun, pal that he is, forked over a puppy, no questions asked. A few weeks later, Shogun (or should we say "Indian Giver") shows up asking Wanderlei for money. Wanderlei claims he thought it was a gift. Looks like we have a disagreement between friends, so what is the only logical way to settle it? You guessed it: cage fight.

To quote the Axe Murderer:
All I will say is that we went at it very hard and the fight ended in the first round. And I did not pay for that puppy.

Wanderlei goes home with a baby pitbull and Shogun goes home with his manhood completely dominated and no money. I question if they ever actually decided to settle the disagreement with a friendly cage fight. I would like to think that when Shogun asked Wanderlei for money, Wanderlei just beat the living shit out of him, soccer kicks and all. I would also like to think that Wanderlei feeds the pitbull only raw polar bear meat, because he is a strong believer in "survival of the fittest."

for some reason, i believe the guys at chute box would do that...

They talked about this in the old Pride events. He knocked him out for a pitbull.

Then Shogun's own car ran over him.

This is why Wandy's chin isn't what it used to be anymore, fighting over puppies.

sorry to (possibly) burst your bubble, but this story may just be a inside joke between the two. This interview gives with shogun casts doubt on the story, but at the very least i enjoyed the kitten joke.
Shawn
eh... that's possible.. but i think more likely that it's true as the story makes shogun out to be a dick in asking for money and then ends in him getting KO'ed. of course he's going to denounce a story that makes him out to be a shithead. plus, it came from wanderlei's mouth and you know he doesn't lie or tell jokes.
