Wanderlei's standup always appeared vulnerable to me; there was a huge hole in the middle which a good striker could exploit with straight punches... as Crocop and Vitor showcased. His striking style was rough, wild, lacking refinement; he didn't have the hand speed/range to match Belfort in a brawl, and was completely overwhelmed with a plethora of punches.

He's good at brutalizing his opponent from close and mid-range, and he excels in striking when the opponent plays into his strength of getting into wild exchanges. When I think of Vale Tudo, all-out war, throwing wildly wherever the fight may go, without as much regard for technique; Wanderlei is the fighter that comes to mind. I'd give him the title of best mauler, if anything.

lol at trying to compare wand t vitor when vitor murdered wand punched him like 15 time sin the mouth in 7 secnds

wand did have some good knees but shogun had better knees alone isnt good enough to consider the best striker frm brazil lol as knees are a small part of striking hands and kicks are more important due to wandy not having straight punches to get himself into use them to begin with unless his opponents suck or want to fight in the clinch

you have no idea what your talking about
 
i think most people confound striking with counter striking.
best counter striker, imo, is Anderson and Belfort.
best striker ?
Aldo, Shogun and Barboza with kicks, Cigano with punches.
