He is also one of the most genuine nicest guys on earth. I was at a local show in Cleveland Ohio and he was there and he spent over 30min talking to a fan in the crowd that had severe disabilities… that kid got 100% of his attention that whole time. Class act!

*Prime Wandy was the epitome of aggression. Never had a boring fight, and never threw a single jab. The 22 knees he landed on Rampage's face was absolutely legendary!*

[@Boredoutofmywits]

What? He used to open with a very stiff jab, followed by a barrage of hooks, then if the opponent covered, the Muay Thai Plumm came into devastating action, if his opponent ran, he chased with punches. But this jab was important to establish the striking distance. It forced his opponent to react or be hit. When he stopped using straight punches the trouble began. Look at what happened in the third fight with Rampage. Wanderlei stood almost chest to chest with Page and simply started swinging. Jackson took the wide swings on his forearms and fired back a tight hook, knocking Wandy out cold. You should watch the full fights, not just highlights.

[@dc_latername9064]

I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home, when all the sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

[@leonardopab5]

True! We also have to consider that many criticize him for lacking some techniques such as takedown defense. However, he comes from a time where the fighting style was different and MMA improved much since that time. He was still a great fighter with often undevalued skills such as dodging, clinch, knees, kicks and punches. Wanderlei proved his skills by defeating dozens of opponents and securing the belt for his weight class multiple times. Until this day I believe that putting him to fight Cro-Cop was unfair since Cro-Cop is 1 division above him. He was at range disadvantage and never recovered from that kick.
