Where does Wanderlei rank at 205?

Rampage vs Chuck is a tricky one because Rampage was the better fighter and finishee Chuck twice, but Chuck had the better career and accomplishments.

What has Chuck accomplished that Rampage hasn't? And how exactly has he had a better career?

The problem with Rampage I spose is that he never put together a dominant run, personally I'd have him and Cormier close behind Jones, Shogun, Wand and Chuck.
 
Top 5: Jones, Shogun, Wand, Chuck, Rampage

IMO, the top at LHW is easy, as DC and Rumble haven't done much there compared to others, and Rashad and Lyoto didn't have the same impact, or for as long.

The hardest question is: Shogun or Wand? Wand's the bigger legend of the 2, has the longer, more storied career, but Shogun fought tougher comp and looked to be better.

How anyone can have Chuck over Rampage is beyond me. Not only does he have 2 wins over Chuck, but he's beaten way better fighters.

Chuck had a "dominant" run because he didn't fight in PRIDE.

Pretty sure Wanderlei was extremely sick during that fight. Like just released from the hospital
 
why are so many people putting chuck so high on the list.

Personally,im with DC who has done everything Jones has done,and more,in that he beat Crumble Johnson twice,and did it without any controversy really. It really says something that Jones keeps poppin for stuff,and cant hold on to the title,and DC keeps fighting and winning.

How the fuck has DC done everything Jones has done and more? Jon’s won the title itself as many times as DC even has defended it, let alone that he has DC beat in defences by a huge margin. Even without his wins over DC Jon undoubtedly has a much better resume.

Likely true to some degree but he did still have excellent runs, I think Rampage beats him in overall quality of wins but again never really had a prolonged spell with an argument to be the #1.
 
I think he's an all time great. He's had more exciting fights than maybe...well
...anybody else in the division and he has alot of really big wins.

I think he deserves extra kudos for his trips up to heavyweight against guys like Fujita, Cro Cop and Mark Hunt.

Jon beat gus. Dc beat gus. Jon beat vitor,dc beat Hendo. Jon beat whoever,Dc beat crumble johnson 2x.
Jon beat osp,dc beat anderson silva. Jones can barely keep up,and its lookin like hes gotta wait 4 yrs to make a move.

No..but it was his first fight back from being knocked out by mirko crocop. Probably smarter to take time off or an easier fight

I dunno if I agree chuck had the better career. Page has a good resume outside of beating chuck. This isn't like Hallman vs Hughes.


Page did beat chuck for his belt, then unify the lhw belt with the pride belt. That's a pretty damn amazing accomplishment, especially considering how good Dan was at that time.

They've both had good resumes. Chuck...Tito 2x, Couture 2x, Wanderlei, Vitor, Overeem, Mezger, Sobral 2x, Randleman......pretty solid 11 wins. Rampage.....Hendo, Arona, Wand, Chuck 2x, Randleman, Igor, Machida, Jardine, Ninja also 10 solod wins. I do like Rampages resume better, he does have the better top wins, but Chuck was a long time champ with 4 title d's. I could really go either way on these guys.
 
Came here to see pictures or gifs of Wandy roided to the gills. Thoroughly disappointed.

Tl/dr

Getting hype for dc's return to hw.
 
He's behind only Jones and Cormier and Shogun imo.
