Silva was born in Brazil, but in April , Silva applied and became an American citizen.
Wanderlei Silva Religious Views
It’s pretty evident that Silva is a devout Christian. He is a believer. A UFC fighter, Conor McGregor once said that he would whoop Jesus’ ass if he came back from the dead when he was asked about the ethics of fighting Jesus Christ.
Evidently,
The Brazilian legend remains one of the most important fighters in the history of MMA. As he picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Fighters Only World MMA Awards, we took the opportunity to salute a man who has never taken a backward step either inside or outside the Octagon.
There is that feeling shared by many of its recipients that a Lifetime Achievement Award is a sign that they are near the end of their careers. Or perhaps that it really is over. Or perhaps that this is the moment, a sign from the industry that has defined them, that it is time to enjoy a venerable retirement.
Has that time come for the great Wanderlei Silva, aka &#;The Axe Murderer&#;?
Let&#;s be straight, and may this arrow hit hard and stay fast in the target bullseye. Wanderlei Silva is a legend in mixed martial arts many times over, but perhaps a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Fighters Only World MMA Awards in Las Vegas is a nod towards Father Time, that cruel shadow that creeps up on all fighters. The greatness leaves, then the performances become mediocre, perfunctory even, and we find ourselves hoping that that once-great figure, will either summon up the magic one more time or leave
