Rumor Affliction's Tom Atencio vs. Wandy

Odd rumor going round on the Underground that Tom Atencio of Affliction fame is now training with Wanderlei Silva. Even odder rumor is that he gets the better of Wandy in their sparring sessions. I produce proof in the form of a gif.

(Note - I know this is a joke and all but does anyone else find it hilarious that Wandy is barely blocking t-shirt dude's punches? Ha!)

People are so dumb, why would a man who has the most successful MMA brand fight? He is busy trying to keep MMA growing, Tom's Affliction is having serious money troubles and the last thing he should be doing is worrying about fighting, it makes no sense. Who really cares who would win if they fought, either way they are not great fighters, I would rather watch GSP vs Thiago

If there is one fighter in MMA who I expect to get whooped in sparring its Wandy. He has always been a guy who turns into another fighter when the cage closes. And that is coming from someone who isn't the biggest fan of his.
