Wanderlei Silva returned to the octagon in style. Facing Brian Stann at UFC Japan, an event held last Saturday (2), the Brazilian knocked out the North American in a great battle. His outstanding performance on the show earned Wand several accolades and opponents willing to face him. This Monday, Englishman Tom Watson used his Twitter account to say that if the Brazilian returns to middleweight he will be knocked out.
“Hey, Wand, keep your supplements at light heavyweight, or go back to middleweight and get knocked out. You decide? Thank you UFC and Dana White (UFC president)”, wrote the Briton on the microblog.
Before UFC Japan, Wanderlei had four fights in the middleweight category (up to 84 kg), but for the fight against Brian Stann he moved up to the light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg). After the triumph against the North American, Wand has not yet defined which category his next fight will be in.

So why doesn't Tom Watson move up to heavyweight? Maybe he's scared?
