Following the news that he received what basically amounts to a lifetime ban in the state of Nevada for allegedly running away from a pre-fight drug test, MMA legend Wanderlei Silva took to Twitter to post his reaction.

“Those who are trying to take me down, come get it,” said Silva. “War is just beginning, sons of b—–s.”

“The Axe Murderer” continued, “They will see that we’re the ones who run this s—t, bunch of playboys.”

Silva was also fined $70,000 by the NSAC, a figure that represents approximately 35 percent of the fight purse he would have received had he fought Chael Sonnen at UFC 175 back in July as scheduled.
