The title is a bit misleading(video title that is), he doesn't get in his face so to speak, but he does let him know how he feels about certain things. Even in his calm self you can see the eye of the tiger while limping. I love this guy, even in Wanglish he's intimidating lol. True O.G.
Wanderlei is such a class act. In brazil we have a saying show respect or lose some teeth hahaha. He even made that classy by defending and honouring a countryman in Nogueira.
That hat suites Wandy because he really is a real life Rocky, beloved by the fans because he ducked nobody and always left it all in the cage. It is impossible to hate Wandy, I actually think it should be a bannable offense to insult Wandy
Good stuff... Chaels actions speak louder then Wanderleis. Chael doesnt condone street fighting and doesnt want any part of it. Lets see who wins in the Octagon ;D
Everything was fine until the respect you dont lose teeth comment. Now your just throwing threats around buddy...
Speak of ass, Sonnen's like a Swish cheese. A ******* cheater. And by then he thought he got away with it. Wrong! I can't believe people will love a wimpy ass steroid abusing disrespecting cheater. This is the same guy who blamed Armstrong for giving himself cancer! Sure he showed guts in being all in Anderson's face and delivering a good performance but he WAS cheating. He was calling Anderson Silva a FRAUD and taking needles in his ass at the same time. Who's the real fraud now huh?!
This is why i love wandy, however the video is sad seeing wandy like that. Man the dude looks old now. He is probably laughing at chael right now as we speak.

Yah lets make fun of Chael for being a grown up in that situation. Chael would have whipped the floor with Wandy if they went at it in that car. Wandy can barely walk there. Lucky for Wandy that Chael doesnt behave like they do over there in Brazil where they hit you over your head for bowing so they can take your wallet.
I don't know. I like Wanderlei and everything but it came across as extremely childish to me. Trying to puff his chest up and protect Brazil's reputation... Wanderlei, this is a sport. This isn't world politics or a nation's military posturing against yours. This is an athlete joking around to get attention for his fight.
In addition, what makes you think Chael gives a rat's ass about your opinion? In my book he'd wipe the floor with Wanderlei (and I like Silva) so threats against him aren't really going to get him anywhere. And threatening a UFC fighter with losing his teeth? That's like threatening an NFL wide receiver with getting tackled.
And who cares if he "disrespects the Nogueira brothers." You're both in the fight sport. If it bothers you, get a match made with him.

Precisely, it´s a sport. All that smack talking doesn´t belong here, although you may think different because of cultural reasons (mainly many years of boxing and pro-wrestling distorting the sense of it).
^^ It bothers him and he did the right thing, he stepped to him like a man. He didnt go on twitter like a sissy and type about it. If Chael thought he was out of line he should have told him to back off, not just nod his head in agreement.
that is just a thinly veiled threat and low class, regardless if its coming from a guy you all "respect"
"we dont know whats gonna happen in the future" type remarks etc are more threats.
Wandy should be better than that, you can speak your mind and not threaten somebody, that isnt the way to go about getting your point across, regardless if some clown is saying things you dont like, you are in the USA and in the USA you can say whatever you want, without the threat of violence, even if its retarded.
Chael gave the typical whiteboy being threatened but not scared replys "sure", "sure" lol
Chael would TD Wandy at will, in the cage or on the street, and beat on him, i dont think he is scared tbh.
I agree and I think your point has a lot to do with what bugged me. Leaving open threats like that doesn't sit well with me, ever. And yeah, Chael looked uncomfortable but unconcerned. He's a bad ass dude.
Firstly/ For some reason Wandy is starting to bug me. I know he is a legend and indeed one of the guys that got me into the sport but he is as irrelevant as the Nog brothers. The whole Brazilian nut hugging thing gets old. If they want respect to elders, they should give it to Kano sensei for the evolution of Judo from Jujitsu (where Kimora trained with papa Gracie).
Secondly/ Chael did not say crap cus there is no money in it right now. He is a smart and clever buisness man. In the ring I am fairly sure Chael would dominate ol Tuna Face with whatever means he wants ... including standing. Roids or not, if you can stand with Silva you can stand with Captain Has-been.
freaking awesome!!!! lol
we were there in the crowd and u can see my wife and my buddies girl at the 27sec mark. She is the one messing with her hair lmao. (its blurry so if you dont know us you wont know what to look for) but still cool at heck.
We were 15th in line. They both were very friendly and polite.
Pfft, Chael Sonnen wasn't afraid of Wandy, he'd kick Wandy's ass (huge wandy fan here)
I think what happened was, they were in a van, Wanderlei is talking to him about respect, Chael Sonnen has no reason to go into one of his tirades so he just says sure and thank you to end the conversation because he doesn't want to hear that. He doesn't care.
If Wanderlei REALLY got in his face, I'm sure we would have seen a different Chael Sonnen. But the way that situation played out, how could Chael act?
People saying Chael Sonnen was "scared" simply don't know how Chael Sonnen acts.
I think some of you are misunderstanding Wandy when he said that thing about respect and teeth.
It is not as he was trying to intimidate Sonnen, as "look pal, say that in my face and i'm gonna kick your ass, i dare you". Instead, he was being really serious about people disrespecting others, that this kind of thing have consequences.
He is a simple guy, so the teeth stuff, but i don't think he was being agressive, just intense.
And yes, i don't think Sonnen was scared, because there were nothing to be scared about.
