MMA legend Wanderlei Silva hit the gym in Vegas today. He’s in town for the next two weeks from the Fizogen-Xtreme Couture in Wellington, Florida. Wanderlei is helping Randy to get ready for Gabriel Gonzaga.

Here’s what Randy had to say about working out with the Brazilian legend, “It’s great to have him in the gym. I’m anxious to pick his brain. To explore his training tactics and techniques. I’m also looking forward to building a rapport with him going forward. We had some good goes today. We were working out of half guard and the mount. He’s very tough in both positions.”

Wanderlei says he’s glad to be here in Vegas with “The Natural”. And that he’s impressed with Randy. “He’s strong on the ground. He has very good jiu jitsu and excellent stamina. He’s stronger than I thought.”

Wanderlei even made a prediction for the main event at UFC 74. “Randy is good for this fight. He’s ready. Very good boxing. He will win.”

As for his next fight, Silva tells us he’ll be stepping back into the Octagon on December 29th. He hopes it is against Chuck Liddell.

After the UFC 74, you can catch Wanderlei at the Fizogen-Xtreme Couture MMA Training Center in Wellington, Florida.

Awesome stuff. It's funny how much bigger Wandy looks than Randy, hopefully they will both benefit from this.

He definitely looks bigger in the first photo. Hopefully the axe murderer can make predictions like Randy.

ton of respect for these two men. Randy is amazing at what he has accomplished and still has more, and Wandy's style is so vicious its awesome. Cant wait to see him fight again.

I wonder what weight they are in those pics? Randy looks pretty darn lean.

thats a great training partner ... wandy will definitely benefit on randys knowledge of beating and losing to chuck liddel.

i also hope is prediction is correct...however GG is gonnnnna be tough.

and the ufc must be betting on chuck not getting too banged up, if at all by jardine, in order to fight again so soon

Pretty awesome cause both of them can gain from each other, and they will only get better.

Randy looks like a 30 year old LHW. Wandy's face looks enormous compared to Randy's, it's weird. Im glad to see this hook up, good for both of them.
War Randy.

awesome pics, i love to see fighters in training ( a good behind the scenes if you will ) and this duo in training is truly great to see.

Randy looks to be setting up well for this Gonzaga fight, although i wouldn't expect any less.

WOW!!! Just thinking. I am a big fan of the Iceman but if Wanderlei comes in with his style of fighting and with Randy's mind, thats a very dangerous opponent. Chuck is in trouble.

Wandy was bigger than CroCop in their fight, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was walking around at about 235 right now. He does looks big, and if he's healthy the Liddell fight could be a very quick KO.
