wow
Atleast its looking better...if you can call that better
Judging by those pics, it doesn't look that bad.
I wonder if he might have had the surgery done for practical fighting purposes. Maybe they removed a bunch of scar tissue, shaved down some sharp bone, some skin treatment, etc.
well, we're used to old looking vanderlei
I wonder what people that aren't used to his old look think
Wow! I saw him and thought, "Hey, that guy kinda looks like Vanderlei," but had no idea it was actually him.
Some good info:

Don't worry guys that face will get banged up and we'll get the old Wandy face back
From the ESPN story:
Good for him, right? Maybe, maybe not. Frank Stile, M.D., a Las Vegas-based plastic surgeon who pioneered the surgery and remains its only trained applicator, says he did not have a hand in crafting Silva's newly smoothed brow.
"Neither he nor his agents has ever consulted me on his desire to have the procedure done," Stile told ESPN.com. "My understanding is that he is, and has for some time, been in Brazil. He may be having the procedure done there. This is both very interesting and of great concern to me since I have pioneered this procedure and haven't trained any other doctors on how to perform it safely."
looks like the Brazilian Frank Trigg now lol
It had to be to remove scar tissue. I mean face it, Wandy's never going to be a model no matter how much surgery he gets. I'm sure he knows this.
Looks fine in those pics. What's the problem? Who cares if he looks different?
Stevia Austin - Wanderlei Jackson.
This made me LOLz
You can see his eyes now!
he had scar tissue removed and his brows shaven down, not a face lift you idiots.
Nose job also.. bigtime
you cant really tell from this picture, but he looks more like how he did when he was younger.
CRE - Rich Franklin gave him an American facelift, complete with botox and all, consider it reparations for the Brazilian nosejob Anderson Silva gave out to the enjoyment of so many.
yeah, if by American Facelife you mean lullaby to put us fans to sleep and sneaking a decision.
BrazilianBomber - you cant really tell from this picture, but he looks more like how he did when he was younger.
Yep.
Wand should a metal jaw replacement surgery than some facial hollywood surgery
BrazilianBomber - you cant really tell from this picture, but he looks more like how he did when he was younger.No way. Wand has ALWAYS had the simian/caveman look. He just happens to be smiling a bit in that picture. Now he's got eyebrows that angle up unnaturally.
He doesn't look the same now as he did when he was younger. Just google "young wanderlei silva" and you'll see it's not the case. He looks like this now: http://trinaallen.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/30days.jpg
