Wanderlei César da Silva was never that good or my friend

I never heard of any of those people signing this- a bunch of fan boys

That's because you're a noob.

Wand was without a doubt a beast and for a time the best LHW of PRIDE FC. Wins over Sakuraba, a controversial draw against Cro Cop in which many thought he won, and then more dismantlings of the division, finally culminating with a hard fought win over Rampage, coming off a victory of UFC elite Chuck Liddell. At that time, he was without a doubt the world's best LHW. There is no question. He even got a win over Arona after losing to him, in another close fight. The move up to HW was the downfall, although exciting, it was the beginning of the end. He still did well in the UFC, we all know Chuck turned into a wrestler in that third round. Wanderlei was starting to piece him up.

Prove me wrong

He banged and wanged with crazy hooks and had a good chin and I don’t care what he did to Rampage
He just wasn’t that good
Was he a savage? Yeah
Was he an elite fighter?

Nope

Why would anyone need to prove the opposite of your shitty opinion?

For his time he was good. Of course he would suck in the modern era, most fighters of that era would. He is very undersized for current 205ers. The sport has evolved and a lot of the greats are very mediocre compared to present day fighters. Matt Hughes is a great but no one talks about him because he is mediocre compared to the fighters we have now.

We have Sean Brady now who is just a new age Matt Hughes with less cardio and heart.

The rules vs Crocop stated if no finish it's a draw, where is the controversy, there was none. It's cause Mirko just came from kickboxing it was one of his first MMA fights and Wand was already Champ.

Stormed by Vitor

Knocked out backstage by smaller Krazy Horse

Starched in clinch by over-the-hill Crippler

Clowned after trying to bully Chael on a TV show

That was a hard downward spiral imho

Somebody is in need of attention…

Bannable thread imo.

Jiri is basically this era Wandy.
Everyone who followed his Rizin career made that comparison. It's a shame that the fight with TRT Crocop did not materialize.

Wow. These two are nothing alike in any way. Wow.

Pure violence, kill or be killed... fought anyone, Big in Japan

Yeah im still not seeing it. Their methods are entirely different. Both warriors no doubt, just not two guys Id compare much about.
