Until just days ago, Pride legends Wanderlei Silva and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic were scheduled to go at it for a third time under the Rizin banner this December<\/a>. Regrettably, Silva was forced to bow out of this planned trilogy fight with an injury. This news did not go over well with Cro Cop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After learning of Silva’s injury, the Croatian kickboxer took to social media to burn Silva with a fiery tirade, calling him a ‘scared b*tch,’ among other things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His full statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just received a message from Rizin Fighting Federation that Wanderlei \u201cthe Braveheart\u201d Silva doesn\u2019t 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\u2019s just a scared homie and only thing he can kill is his mosquito. And Wanderlei, don\u2019t 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\u2026 WANDERLEI \u201cTHE CHICKEN\u201d SILVA\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Mirko<\/a><\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, this verbal assault was not-well received by Silva. Today, the Brazilian legend took to\u00a0youtube with a venomous rebuttal.<\/p>\n

His words below (translated by Reddit user\u00a0trulyskeptical<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I am here to give an explanation to my fans about why I won’t compete in December. My recovery, I wasn’t able to be 100% for this fight, and I am a professional. I would never fight, not with Mirko or anyone, without being prepared, and what surprised me the most with all of that is that this guy, this Croatian, Mirko Cro Cop, in front of me called me the best of the world, the legend, and behind a computer, started talking shit about me.<\/em><\/p>\n

What kind of man are you Mirko? To say a lot of shit on Internet, and not say it to my face? Are you only a man when behind a computer? You p*ssy. Who do you think you are talking to? Chill out, it won’t be now, but soon you’ll get what is yours, I know very well how to catch you, and I know you are afraid of me, you coward.<\/em><\/p>\n

So really it was offered me a very good amount of money to fight Mirko, they offered me 1 million dollars, and I could, I am training and I could get in and see what happens. If I got there and fought 30 seconds or 1 minute my purse would be the same but I am a professional, and I would never do that without being 100% ready to give the show that all my fans are used to see. So, to fight with you, you pussy, or with anyone, I will fight when I am 100%. Everyone knows I am coming back from a serious injury, I am recovering well, thank God, I am training well and I am training to get back to the old form, the real mad dog. I won’t fight without being ready, I will fight to win, and Silva is back, you can wait.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, Silva doesn’t seem to have taken kindly to his old rival’s comments. Who do you think wins this rematch when it’s eventually rebooked? Sound off, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
