Who was the better fighter at the end of the day? Vitor or Wand?

The one that kicked the shit out of the other one in about 6 seconds.

So Dennis Hallman had a better career than Matt Hughes?

Head to head I think it's always going to be Vitor, his shorter, tighter punches with speed and power are always going to find the target before Wandy's more winging style. Wandy also got caught quite a bit and hurt sometimes even in his wins, if Vitor hurts someone, he's maybe the best finisher I've ever seen.

Career wise it depends what you like really. I wouldn't really argue either way.

Better: Vitor

Greater: Wanderlei

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.

This losses dont erase his wins that are better than any of Vitor's. Wanderlei was a TITLE HOLDER for years.

 

[Leoooo]

Wand by far.
He was champion for a while and had a long win streak.
Also, I Feel Wand is the better fighter. He could come from bad situations and win the fight, and just look at his fight against Cro Cop. I can’t imagine any version of Vitor not getting completely destroyed by CC.

In the early stages of their careers, both were roided and Wand had the better wins.
Later it seems as though Vitors resurgence was primarily driven by TRT while fighting clean opponents. When he got off he lost big time.
Whereas it seems Wand fought clean in the end and still had wars.

Wand has the greatest KO highlight of all time. The man was a fucking maniac.

I agree with you!

Wand was a legendary animal, his career in Japan is amazing.

Prime Wand is the better!

Won Prime Rampage, Prime Gracie Hunter,Prime Ricardo Arona,Prime Dan Handerson.

has been Pride champion the world's number 1 organization for years.


Unfortunately his Prime version was short lived and the wars destroyed his body.

Wand has a beautiful legacy in Japan, he is the King of Pride.



Victor did not win nor Sakuraba.

he is a man for facing Heavy Weights like Hunt, Cro Cop but that has ended his career.

Wand x Dan Henderson 2 is the
start of decaying version.

Cro Crop Prime killed Wand Prime,he was never the same.

Close thread. The axe murderer was fighting heavyweights in Japan, and going toe to toe

True to an extent, but there were flashes of his brilliant violence in the UFC as well

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Vitor. Didn't prime Vitor run right through prime Wandy?

This. Vitor straight blasted Wandy back to Pride. If Rampage didn't always have Chocolate L's number, we would have seen Him KO Wandy in Pride.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Wanderlei. I don't see Vitor knocking out Rampage in his prime twice.

Vitor Belfort knocked out Henderson who was 43 years old. Is that the biggest win of his career?
