With UFC color commentator Joe Rogan unable to fulfil his commentary duties at UFC 105 due to his commitment to his comedy tour, UFC management have identified ‘The Axe Murderer’ Wanderlei Silva as a suitable replacement. Silva coming off a loss to Rich Franklin at UFC 99 declared that he intends to take some time off competing and for the time being turn his attention towards commentating alongside Mike Goldberg.
With a career spanning over a decade whilst amassing a 32-10 record, Wanderlei’s deep insight of the fight game will make him a valuable voice in the booth. Although many speculated over Wanderlei’s reasoning for going under the knife – Wanderlei confirmed it was not completely for performance sake “You know I get this surgery so I don’t get cut easy, but also because I need to look good if I will be on T.V” said the Brazilian.
