Wanderlei Silva Fires Back at Cro Cop’s ‘Chicken’ Statement

Wanderlei Silva Fires Back at Cro Cop’s ‘Chicken’ Statement

The anticipated match between Wanderlei Silva and Crocop will have to wait!

And Mirko CroCop Filipovic is none too happy about it. They were to fight on December 29th at Rizin FF open weight grand prix.

However following earlier announcement that Silva is off Crocop has issued some not too flattery commentary.

Reason for Silva’s withdrawal wasn’t given.

Here’s what crocop wrote:

 

I just received a message from Rizin Fighting Federation that Wanderlei “the Braveheart” Silva doesn’t want to fight me. He gets scared and he changed his mind, but he know it from the beginning. He played tough guy on the press conference in July and he called me out for a fight. Then I said to myself, this man has a guts, but now we all see what is he made of, nothing but shit. Once he was a fearless and true axe murder but now he’s just a scared homie and only thing he can kill is his mosquito. And Wanderlei, don’t you dare to come to Saitama to see the tournament like a guest because I will slap you like a bitch just like you deserve, you are nothing but a scared bitch and I had so much respect for you as a fighter until now. I suggest a new name for you that will fit you well… WANDERLEI “THE CHICKEN” SILVA

Silva released a video where he spoke in his native Portuguese. Silva fired back at Cro Cop:

“My recovery, I couldn’t be able to be 100 percent for this fight. “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.”
