Wand snarls back at ”P@$$%’ Cro Cop

Wanderlei Silva recently pulled out of the RIZIN tournament and his opponent Mirko Cro Cop reacted angrily calling him “WANDERLEI ‘THE CHICKEN’ SILVA” and worse.

Now the Wand strikes back, via his YouTube channel. He said that he had to pull out due to injuries sustained after being hit by a car in May.

My recovery, I couldn’t be able to be 100 percent for this fight, said Silva in Portuguese as translated by Guilherme Cruz for MMA Fighting. I’m a professional, I’d never fight against Mirko or anyone else not being prepared. But what astonished me is that this Croatian, this Mirko Cro Cop guy, called me the best in the world, a legend in front of me, but behind the computer he’s talking a bunch of crap.

What kind of man are you to say this crap online and not to my face? Are you only a man in front of the computer, p***y? Who do you think you’re talking to? Don’t worry. It won’t be now, but you’ll get what is yours. I know really well how to catch you. I know you’re afraid of me, coward.

I was offered a large amount of money, I was offered a million dollars. I could go in there and see what happens. If I fought 30 seconds or a minute, I’d get my prize the same way. But I’m a professional, straightaway, and I’d never do this not being 100 percent to fight. Everybody knows I’m coming off a serious injury.

I’m training well and training to be back to my old shape, the real ‘Axe Murderer’. I won’t fight just to fight, I’m fighting to win. Silva is back. Wait for it.

There is no word on who Wand will fight next, or when,
