You've wanted this rematch with Vitor Belfort since 1998, Wand. You've been waiting and waiting, and it was only a month away - then Vitor drops out with a broken hand. I know how you feel in a way Mr Axe Murderer, I waited for a sequel to Diablo 2 for over a dozen years, then when Diablo 3 came out all I got was an unbalanced mess at Hell difficulty and beyond with uninteresting classes and a plot that unfolds like Gary LaPlante's famous candied bacon. You're frustrated Wand, you feel like Vitor may be a avoiding the fight, or that breaking his hand is a pure amateur move. I feel the same way about the auction house and 10 minute fights with champion packs of mobs in D3. Ten minutes of kiting isn't fun, and neither is having a huge fight in your home country pulled out from under you. If you were here right now I would make a fist and hold it up to my heart, that's how close I feel to you right now.

You and I both are usually nice guys and can look past the flaws of a Vitor, or a Blizzard Entertainment, but not this time. This time you take to Twitter to express your feelings over what has happened with Vitor, while I scour the Diablo messageboards for a way to not die in one shot every-single-time regardless of mob type since Energy Armor got nerfed.

Here is what Wand had to say about Vitor backing out of his fight on June 23rd.

“(Fighting me) with one hand (laughs)? We are professionals. It’s a great irresponsibility not to be careful on training, a great disrespect towards the fans. I’m really sad. I’m ready to knock you out, you have nowhere to run. This fight is happening. I guess you got scared of me. Nobody trains so hard that breaks his hand. We use the best equipments, gloves, bandages”,

“If you were scared, you shouldn’t have accepted it. If you really got it broken, it’s amateurism and if you didn’t, you’re scared. In both scenarios, it was irresponsible of you towards the fans. Pardon the word, but I’m pissed with your amateurism. A main event on the biggest event of the world and the guy shows up like that”.

Thanks to Tatame for the Twitter translation.

Wandeco, we still love you despite all that BS you are just saying.

And lets be honest about it: this injury is bad for the sport, for Vitinho and the fans. For you its the best thing that could happen.

Sick and tired of wandy playing the good guy always talking about the fans. I remember the way the chute box team used to behave backstage in pride. Bunch of bullies.

Not to mention he used to juice over in japan, can`t get a decent win when he is clean.

No one is scared of this prick.

vitor has tested positive for steroids before and his old coaches, training partners have said he was juicing when he first came to the ufc.

Could it be he turned over a new leaf when he came to the UFC? I used to hate Wand in Pride, but I really started to like him after seeing him interact with fans.

Wanderlei is a fucking fighter. I cannot believe that with his age and chin he accepted this fight in the first place.

Wanderlei's just mad he got Error 37.


And Vitor's broken that same hand 4 or 5 times, sure I would have preferred he broke it on Wandy's jaw, but hey... This was a pretty much guaranteed retirement match for Wandy, now at least he has an opportunity to get another win under his belt before he's gone.

Wand should count himself luck Belfort is out injured because Vitor would have owned him yet again

I don't give a fuck about the juice, this was a great fight that was 10 years of bad blood in the making. There would be no going to the judges on this, somebody's getting hurt. The only people that lose in this scenario is the fans. Wand wanted that fight, not sure Vitor really did. But whether or not he did, I still kinda feel like he'd want to get a piece. These guys don't like each other. Also I broke my hand training. Broke two knuckles and also split my hand in half wearing top of the line boxing gloves, so I can attest to injuries like this happening.

It's just marketing towards the fight when it eventually happens. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Wand isn't scared of anyone and neither is Vitor.

Both are veterans of the sport, and know how to "play the game" as Dana would say.
