This past Saturday’s UFC 139 undercard match between our friend Wanderlei Silva and fellow MMA elder statesman (and actor) Cung Le was widely predicted to be the swan song loss for the aging Silva, whose previous bout was an almost comically short defeat at the hands of Chris Leben by knockout 27 seconds into the first round. Instead, Silva showed more than a few glimpses of the power and poise that has made him one of the most popular MMA fighters of all-time in his second round TKO of a bloodied Cung Le. In typical War Wand fashion, Silva couldn’t help but crack a few jokes at Le’s expense in the post-fight interview, telling MMA Heat’s Karen Bryant that he did Le a “favor” by breaking his nose, making the actor, who is set to play the leading role in the upcoming Dragon Eyes also starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, look like a “real” fighter.

Taking the spot of an injured Vitor Belfort, our good friend Wanderlei Silva is set to go up against Vietnamese kickboxing specialist Cung Le on November 19th in San Jose, CA as part of UFC 139. The change, which was announced by UFC president Dana White this morning via Twitter, will pit two of the UFC’s marquee names in something of a hometown bout for Le, who is from San Jose. However, there’s no question who we’re backing in the fight: WAR WAND MOTHERFUCKERS!
As proud sponsors of UFC legend Wanderlei Silva’s WAND Fight Team, we root for our fighters win, lose or draw. Of course we always like it when they win, which it seems like they usually do. The latest WAND fighter to come out on top is Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert Vitor Vianna, who fought Sam Alvey at last weekend’s Bellator 50 Championships and came away with a 3-round decision. Congrats Vitor! His next fight is slated for October 15th in Atlantic City for Bellator 54. We’ll be watching.
WAND Fight Team’s Jorge Lopez is making some noise in the MMA undergroud, tearing through opponents and looking damn good in the process. As a proud sponsor of Lopez and the WAND Fight Team we always like seeing our boys come home victorious and like it even more when they drop our name in the post-fight interview! Word to Jorge Lopez; see you in the UFC soon!
Though the main event in this weekend’s UFC 133 is Rashad Evans vs. Tito Ortiz, most fight fans are equally as stoked about the Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort undercard bout, including, of course, Belfort’s sponsor RVCA, who is generating the obligatory limited edition walkout gear for the fight, including the Belfort 133 Walkout tee, above. Look for this shirt on TruckerDeluxe.com in the coming days, but in the meantime, you can check out our other MMA-related RVCA apparel, including the Vitor Belfort Fight Trunks (below) at TruckerDeluxe.com.
We’re pretty damn excited about UFC 132 around here. Not only is our friend and regular visitor to TruckerDeluxe HQ Wanderlei Silva set to make his UFC comeback against Chris Leben, but FORM Athletics fighter and fellow Northern Californian, Urijah Faber is also squaring up against Dominick Cruz. To mark the event, FORM Athletics has released new Urijah Faber Walk-Out shorts, which are now available at TruckerDeluxe.com, along with a full compliment of FORM Athletics MMA signature apparel from Jon Jones, Mark Munoz as well as Urijah Faber, like the UFC 128 Walk Out Shirt (below). Whether you’re a fighter, a lover, or just a fight lover, check out FORM Athletics clothing on TruckerDeluxe.com.
The Cheik Kongo vs Pat Barry fight was originally on the undercard of this weekend’s UFC Live event, but after the main event was canned due to Nate Marquardt’s mysterious medical DQ, Barry vs. Kongo was upgraded to headliner status, and the two lived up to the billing. Even if you don’t give a shit about UFC, MMA, DTF, WTF or any other acronyms, you have to admit that the video above of Cheick Kongo going from seemingly knocked out to winning the fight by KO himself is nothing short of a storybook ending. Or at least the ending to a violent, testosterone-fueled corporate sponsored, storybook.
UFC Champ and Form Athletics Clothing endorsee Jon “Bones” Jones takes a shot at former champ Rampage Jackson with his new “No Motorboating” PSA video, above. The video is in reference to an interview last week (which you can check out below) in which Jackson pretended to motorboat female reporter Karyn Bryant, who for her part seemed pretty much unfazed. Regardess, newly minted champ Jones pulls no punches in chastising the veteran Jackson, who might not be too partial to being called “son” by a dude 10 years his junior. Doubtless there will be more videos forthcoming, on both sides. In the mean time, check out our selection of official Jon “Bones” Jones Form Athletics MMA gear on TruckerDeluxe.com.
As proud sponsors of UFC legend Wanderlei Silva’s Las Vegas-based WAND Fight Team, we stand behind them win or lose, but we always like it when they win. Which they usually do. Makes it pretty easy! This time around, it was MMA and Muay Thai expert Jorge Lopez defeating the curiously-monikered Waachiim Spiritwolf by unanimous decision at last weekend’s Tachi Palace Fights 9. Thanks to Jorge for repping TruckerDeluxe and congrats on the victory!
