I think Wanderlei accomplished more during his peak.
Wand was just unbelievable utter violence.
Vitor played the mma game better (with the watered down "unified" rules)
Vitor has wins over Franklin, Hendo 2x, Rockhold, Bisping, Wanderlei.
Vitor beat Wanderlei by ko when they both fought, and had a much longer career. Wanderlei had some good wins like Rampage and Hendo, but he also got ko'd by both guys and never really found success in the UFC.
Wanderlei had the better career. Who was Vitor’s best win? Randy?
Wanderlei’s long title reign included wins over Sakuraba, Henderson, and Rampage. Though it was technically a draw, Wanderlei also clearly beat Cro-Cop in their first fight as well. I also think he deserved the win against Hunt, but that is neither here nor there.
Obligatory
Wand.
Vitor was great in his early day and had that resurgence with trt, but wand was the 200 lb champ of pride
Seems like i will be in the minority here.
Wand had a better career overall.
And i think he is a better fighter then Vitor.
Wand is not a better grappler,maybe even when they were at their prime at striking .
BUT
Vitor definitely doesn’t have the instinct to be a fighter,he have the tools and the knowledge.I don’t remember him being in a war inside the cage on in a ring(like Wand was in several occasions)and I definitely don’t remember he coming back from a negative situation in a fight and achieving victory either.
That count as a huge negative for me as a fighter.
Wand is the better fighter.
Wand was the number one lhw for what, 5 years. At his peak Vitor was never THE guy. In any division he fought in.Because these fools have no knowledge about mma.

Its the same with these idiots n how they talk about how dc or stipe are #1 hw of all time. Like uhhh wtf?
People just spew nonsense on here.
Wanderlei's peak was way higher than any thing Vitor ever achieved in mma.

PRIDE Hendo also beat Wanderlei in a rematch as did Rampage 2x. Vitor was a title contender in the UFC for much longer and managed to survive over the course of several eras from the beginning of the UFC all the way to the modern era.Wanderlei beat Pride Hendo and Pride Rampage 2x. Over the hill Hendo, old Franklin and Bisping makes a better resume? Come on
What?? Vitor almost took out the goat.
I think Vitors skills were far higher . Wanderlei was a brawler with some sick knees and was mega roided out.
