2.Shogun
3.Wand
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.
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.
Top 10 but not top 5. Shogun and Liddell have him beat from that era's guard. I think I would put him at 7 or 8. Guys like Gus, Rumble, and Hendo definitely throw some curveballs into the rankings. Then again I guess even chuck could be a question mark based on where you thought his and Wands careers were at when they fought
Yes way. Hendo did a LOT more than Wand. Including knocking him out for his belt and beating the two best hws of all time
I rank wanderlei below rampage.
rampage was detroyed 2x by wanderlei but rampage peak of career had better win over other fighters. he beat chuck 2x and chuck beat wanderlei with some ease. Rampage also beat up hendo, rampage also would of had a good chance against Vitor if only for his size and strength. The same Vitor who is better striker than hendo and KO him 2x.
i'm seeing some fucking stupid answers in this thread.
Let's assume you still hold Jones in status despite two drug test failures, Shogun is number 2, Wanderlei is number 3. There is nobody that comes close to Wanderlei at number 3 as Rampage is number 4 and he's not even close son.
If your going to put two victories over chuck in the “height” of rampages career than you must also put he brutal losses to wanderlei in the same category.
Also wand dropped chuck twice and forced chuck to shoot to secure rounds. I wouldn’t call that an easy win.
he dropped chuck 1x when he move backwards, the other time was a slip. Wanderlei by end was gassing or gassed, cut, and could not stop takedown. if 5 rounds chuck would of maybe finish him.
it is so hard to say because based on style wanderlei should be above Hendo and they both got owned by Vitor. so weird
prime Vitor is above hendo and shogun but manage to have that 1 decision loss at a shit point his career to chuck. chuck beat wanderlei when both out of prime. Rampage whooped hendo though
Hendo beat Vitor in dominate fashion, they didn't fight again until Hendo was 40... doesn't count.
I believe there is an interview with Bas Rutten where he talks about how sick Wanderlei was the day before the Henderson II fight.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
top 3 IMO.Where do you rank Wanderlei Silva at 205 all time? Who was better at their prime?
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.
