Chuck would have fallen victim to Wanderlei's pressure and gotten soccer kicked to hell. Sure, he had power but not enough to put Wandy down. Wanderlei's recovery was insane at the time.
Dana really fucked chuck over by fighting in pride. Those 3 fights is the biggest shots he ever took in his career. And would have probably been worse if he didn't fight grapplers from there on till rampage rematch
The Mezger fight was a separate event from when he entered the GP. And it didn't have to do with Dana's beef. At least not yet. That escalated after Chuck lost to Randy.
Chuck hadn't even faced Randy yet when he fought Mezger. That was early in Chuck's career.
You also ignore the fact Chuck took massive shots in fights between Mezger and Overeem (he got battered by Randy, and took colossal shots in a close decision win over Vitor Belfort).
Something tells me you weren't actually around for Chuck's career.
dana literally cried like a bitch and had to throw the towel in to save his boyfriend
i love rampage for that performance
when all this conor casuals hate on PRIDE it's because they don't know that the best fighter in UFC came over and lost due to corner stoppage against the third best guy in the division
Yeah I’ve recently gone back to watch the old Prides and now I see the fuss about Wand, he did ok in the UFC but didn’t live up to his rep, you could say that about Cro Cop too

Had you never watched them before? If that's the case, good on you for taking that history lesson. Something everyone here who hasn't seen PRIDE should do.
When you've been around since the beginning, and you understand how it all unfolded, it brings context to everything. If you start with UFC and Pancrase, and work your way through as many major events as possible to the present, the context of who the greats are and what their wins meant is so crystal clear.

I only became a fan in 2008 or so, when COVID happened I signed up to Fightpass and started watching all the Prides, I’m nearly done. Also watched some Strikeforce, old UFCs, even WECs, what a library it is, amazing!
I knew the reputations of Sakuraba, Wand, Shogun, Fedor etc but it’s great to see it happen chronologically that’s for sure
You´re actually right to shake it, mate... You´re literally confused...
Yes, Wand was an OG badaasss... but... but...
He was also caught greasin´ by Coleman, in the locker room... & then, Ref. Batarelli in action with the towel...
Not that bad aasss, right, mate?
Helax, there´s more:
Hendo, right after that UFC tournament where he competed 2 fights @ MW/LHW [193 lbs]... signed with Rings & competed in that historical, high profile Rings KoK 1999... where he was one of the smallest competitors...
In his bracket:
> Bakouri Gogitidze:
... a high level greco-roman wrestler, competed @ > 100 Kg in the OG.
You know his go-to-move? Suplexes...
> Yvel...
... one of the most vicious HW strikers of that era... Jus´like Hunto, if you dont take him down, you´re in for a rough & dangerous night, especially with his flyin´knees & 'elbows'...

Save me from your historian archives for gods sake. I know Hendo is an all time great without them smh. But he knew his place in Pride and would have got his shit pushed in trying to stand with Prime Hunt or prime Cop and using his fight with Nog at the time doesn't change that. Smh.

3 'smh' in 2 posts... you´re goin´to get dizzy, mate.
Anyway, you missed the point, not about Hendo bein´ or not an ATG, everybody knows this shit.
Was about both bein´ OW OGs, & obviously you didnt acknowledge Hendo´s involvement in Rings.
