    He dropped to 205 around 2004/2005. There were rumors of Wand vs Vovchanchyn for Pride 32 or 34, forget which one exactly. Pretty sure Silva turned it down.

    He was 5'8 (that may be being generous) and natural 205, he just started putting on weight around 1997 cuz he was fighting NHB with no weighclasses against 250lb mother****ers.

    Gracie is a 'legend' for winning two 8 man NHB tournaments. Vovchanchyn won 7, plus made defenses of those tournement wins in Vale Tudo and DNRF and won some 4 man tournaments too.

    I think Wand wasn't allowed to fight after being knocked out by Hendo a few months before.

    Wand vs Igor would've been a slugfest.

    He looks like a great fighter with a unique style, and looks to have beaten some solid opposition. Yet there have been some on this forum suggesting that he is not a top 10 all-time HW.

    He was lethal for his day but he wasn't even the best of the old breed of heavyweights

    You have just said he looks to have beaten good opposition, that make me assume you have now watched him beat these guys.

    I have known about Igor for a while, but long after he retired.

    Igor would have destroyed him. And that includes a prime Wand.
