Episode synopsis
Wanderlei Silva admits that if he was in control, he would take his team's Francisco "Massaranduba" Drinaldo against Vitor Belfort's Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira. Unfortunately, down 3-0 at this point, it's not his pick to make. Silva thinks his fighter would do well, considering his tough upbringing versus Ferreira's background as a "playboy," or one of the privileged. Silva even points at Belfort as one of those playboys, especially considering his penchant for manicures. We waste little time finding out if Silva's dream will come true, as fight selection is upon us immediately.
