Wanderlei Silva – Legends Still Have Dreams Too
Published 5/22/2008 at UFC
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - UFC President Dana White can be the excitable type, but August 17, 2007 might have been the day when he was most excited. As he called with the news that the UFC had signed Wanderlei Silva to a promotional deal, you could hear the joy in his voice. This wasn't simply a business transaction; he was a fan, and for him it was like a little leaguer meeting Derek Jeter or a Pop Warner football player shaking hands with Tom Brady.It gave you faith in the power of sports and sports heroes to still move us.
